I do my best to provide y'all with some recruiting coverage, then dabble in everything else that's important about Texas sports.. I didn't grow up a Longhorn fan, but I become one quickly when I started going to UT in 2002, developing an equal love for Austin and love for the Longhorn, and the passion has only grown since then, reaching a pinnacle with the two championships in 2005, though hardly declining since then.
I was lucky enough for PB to give me a chance to express my thoughts about the Longhorns in this fine forum and hope that it benefits you as much as writing benefits me -- my girlfriend says I've been less irritable since I started writing here.
Hopefully, I can provide some insight to y'all and help deepen your understanding about Texas. Or at least give you something think about or disagree with. All that stuff is good.

Hook 'Em,
