The Big 10 now has 12 members and the Big 12 has 10.  In order to get past all the bitter disappointment of not going to the PAC-16 like God intended, I think it only good and right that we rename the conference. Please use this thread to enter your suggestion.  Here are my top 5:

5. Texas and the Nine Dwarves Conference.

4. The Suck It Osborne Conference.

3. Beebe's Folly Conference.

2. The DeLoss is Your Daddy League.

1. Conference USA.

With our TE corps decimated by injury, we are in dire need of a solution.  To my knowledge, Texas has never taken a JUCO player.  It may be time to reconsider that policy.  I'd like to hear feedback from people in the know (GoBR, PB, 54b, I'm looking at you) as to who the best JUCO TE is , whether Texas should offer one, and whether doing so would be a good fit for our program

Where are all the trash-talking Sooners out there?  I want to hear you now. 45-35. 0-5. Pretty clear you didn't belong in that game.  Maybe "Big Game Bob" can still pull it out for you.  Maybe the BCS computers will still vote you #1 tomorrow.  Because if anyone knows that what happens on the field doesn't matter, it's you.  I drink the tears of your unfathomable sadness.  Maybe you can get Billy Sims to tell you stories about the good old days, when you used to win bowl games, because no active player can tell you about it.

Now that 47% of all Longhorn fans are recovering in Cardiac care units across the country following the OSU game, I thought it would be a good time to check on our HS prospects.

Jordan Leslie had a "down game."  Not necessarily a reflection of his ability, the offense was balanced, with 5 receivers getting touches:

2 receptions 26 yards 13ypc, 1 TD in a 34 to 14 victory of Dekaney. That brings Leslie to 891 yards for the year and 9TD on a team that's 2-5.

How are all our prospects doing?

Jordan Leslie continues to be a great player on a bad team.

This week: 5 receptions for 106 yards, 2 TD, 21.2 ypc in a 37-26 loss to Westfield.

For the season so far (remember 2 games were cancelled due to IKE):

44 receptions for 865 yards, 20 ypc, 8 TD. All this on a team that's 1-5.

Quite a good Junior season.

Jaime Peebles DNP.  I'm not going to cover JP anymore. To paraphrase Coach Royal: Well, Jamie, we took a look at you, and you weren't any good.

10 receptions, 203 yards, 22.3 yards per catch, including a catch for 55 yards, 2 TD in a loss to Katy Morton Ranch.  He was the only bright spot for the team.  He didn't have much help tonight.  The QB only had 277 passing yards.  The whole team had 30 yards rushing on 23 attempts.  Defense allowed 327 yards rushing, resulting in a round of scholarships from SMU and a Robert Killebrew cooking class.
