Also, I've seen reports that Muschamp has formally signed his coach-in-waiting contract, but haven't found a link.

Texas AD DeLoss Dodds took questions earlier today over at the Dallas Mornings News website.

[Comment From Pony]
DeLoss, thanks for bringing Mack Brown to Texas. How do the schedules get made? Is it as easy as calling Washington's AD up and saying "Are you free the 24th?" or do you have a pattern you stick with?

DeLoss Dodds: What we're finding out in scheduling football games is a lot of people dont' want to play Texas. You have to start with that. The advantage we do have is a lot of football programs want to be in the state of Texas because of the recruiting base here. It's not as easy as it looks from the outside. It takes a good deal of conversation, managing schedules and balancing what you need your schedules to look like. But again, you start with the fact a lot of people don't want to play Texas.

I doing think any of us envisioned Orakpo playing Linebacker in a 4-3 when we were having this debate.

Ivan Maisel has a nice article on the Texas-OU game. Nothing insightful, but still a good read.

Both teams received 174 points in the Big 12 South division poll, but Texas had 17 first place votes compared to OU's 15.

According to Orangebloods, Rick Barnes and Co. picked up a commitment from 2011 prospect, DeAndre Daniels who attends Taft High School in Woodland Hills, CA. Daniels is listed as a small forward at 6-8

Rivals ranks him #41 on their 2011 prosect list.
