Quote from ESPN about Mark Ingram. "Mark Ingram's eye-pooing numbers came against the nation's toughest defenses. Pretty funny.

Bo Pelini voted Texas #1 (along with 3 others). 8 coaches voted Florida #3. Charlie Weatherbie voted us #4 (he was not impressed with our 59-20 win we had against him....

I finally watched UT vs TT

So I work every Saturday night and missed the game this week. So maybe I'm late to the party...Regardless I had a few observations.  
1. Our Defense played great. I saw aggressive play and tight coverage. The problem was we had 3 dropped INT's and 1 Fatman coverup of a fumble recovery 10 yards from the endzone all in the first quarter. The way I see it we could have easily been up 21-24 pts by half time without the offense doing a thing.
2. Earl Thomas and Sergio Kindle are going to be All-Americans.
3. John Chiles to wr/rb adds yet another playmaker on the field.  
4. Colt McCoy is going to figure it out.
5. Jordan Shipley is better at playing football than singing.

Readmission to UT

Need some help guys.

I am from Louisiana.

I attended UT from 2002-2005. Paid in state tuition because my dad lives in Texas.

Transferred to SELU in Louisiana. Paid in state tuition because my mom lives in LA.

I am now 25 and wanting to return to UT. Can I still get in state tuition? my dad still lives there. I have done this before between 2003-2004 and it automatically put me in as in state since I was in state before. Is this still how it works?

 

thanks

Durant gets some help

As most everyone knows Kevin Durant is playing some remarkable ball lately for the OKC Thundery(really that's their name?) Anyway Durant also just got some help acquiring Tyson Chandler from the N.O. Hornets. The 26 year old 7'1" Center is one of the best players in the league when healthy if you don't follow the NBA.

The Thunder won only 13/53 games before the Allstar Break. My question is how many of the 29 remaining games will the Thunder win? Durant needs to learn how to be on a winning team again.

Poll
How many of the 29 remaining games will the OKC Thunder win with the addition of Tyson Chandler?

Moving to Pullman (help)

Well it's official my wife and I are moving to Pullman. My wife will be starting at WSU in the fall and we know absolutely nothing about the area. We are moving from Baton Rouge, LA; however, I attended school at UTexas.

I thought I would attempt to find some advice on locating an apartment near campus and find a job nearby as well. If you are feeling friendly please steer me in the direction of getting acquainted with WSU. Ready to become a Cougar fan !

 

Thanks

Boycott Bowl Game?

Maybe I'm the bratty kid that just can't accept losing on the playground, but I feel I may be justified in feeling like we should support boycotting the Fiesta Bowl bid. 

Believe me. I know there is much to gain by winning the Fiesta Bowl; however, how can I be happy knowing that OU is playing for OUR Championship. How can we ever take college football seriously again under these circumstances? I can't.

I know that teams have turned down bids before for reasons such as equal rights for African-American players, but does anyone know of anyone that refused a bid based on the kind of INJUSTICE we have experienced?

I will continue reading posts hear at burntorangenation, but I just can't support college football while robotic beings rule the world(yes that is from Flight of the Conchords)
