Leach and Tech Agree on New Contract

CheeseHorn — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 00:48:53 -0000

Looks like Leach got that contract he wanted. Story here

This is bad news bears for the Big 12, but I like Leach anyway. He's a funny man, and I'll enjoy him around for years to come. I want to see what Tech is like next year.

NYT Recaps Kirkpatrick's Signing

CheeseHorn — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:36:38 -0000

This is so ridiculous. I can't believe he had a two year old kid. Most of y'all probably knew that. But wow, just ridiculous. I had no idea.

I'm not sure why these kids need to make it such a big deal. Why is the NYT covering another recruiting that didn't sign with us. No big deal. I'm glad we didn't get him.

For the article:

Wow. This Thayer Evans really hates us.

Orange-White Game

I've never been to an Orange-White Game before. How does this work? I plan on trying to get to the game this Saturday. Are there tickets? Or is it just a first come first serve basis? Also, who will be going from here? Thanks.

Bill Little?

It might be a silly question, but who is Bill Little? Does he have close ties to the football program? I have no clue who this guy is, and he does all the game "recaps" for the website. Some of the stuff he writes is just ridiculous. Thanks.

Mike Leach Fined

CheeseHorn — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 20:59:00 -0000

So here we have it. Mike Leach was slapped with a fine. Apparently, it's the largest fine the Big 12 has ever given out. What do y'all think?

Special Teams - Kickoffs

CheeseHorn — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 03:57:34 -0000

I don't know why this isn't discussed more often, but I think a major issue that can be fixed on our team is having someone else return kick offs. I'm sick of seeing Quan Cosby taking the ball to around the 20-25 yard line every single time.

I don't object to having Quan fielding the punts. He's got a great set of hands and smarts to not muff a punt, but on kick offs it's different.

These are the times I wish we still had a guy named Ramonce Taylor around to take the ball up to the 35-40 every time if not further up the field.

Everyone knows field position is one of the most important parts of the game. Why should our offense drive 70-80 yards every time?

It's just something I wish the coaches would look into.

How we finish up the season

CheeseHorn — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:00:30 -0000

With the end of our season wrapping up, I'm pretty curious as to how our team finishes the season. If we win out, there's a good shot at getting a BCS bowl, lose a couple and we might find ourselves back in San Antonio again. Vote honestly. Obviously, we all want to see the 'Horns win out.

As PB has pointed out, who knows which team will show up.

How do you think the 'Horns will finish out?

Bill Callahan is awesome

CheeseHorn — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 17:14:42 -0000

With Nebraska's football program circling the drain as of late, this doesn't really help things at all.

I'm going to go ahead and guess that Callahan is already giving up on the season. I read on SI that he's already having a difficult time recruiting this season.
