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

DeLoss Dodds' Live Chat | DMN

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

I found this interesting-
[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.

BON Community Game Predictions: Colorado

Now that you have had a chance to read PB's Pre-Game Musings, the superbly done Quarter Pole Report, GoBR's Five Things to Watch, and DC's Q&A session with guys from The Ralphie Report, it's time to make your predictions.

Make the following predictions:

Score, total offensive yards for both teams, offensive MVP, defensive MVP, and your own quick take on the game.

My Predictions:

Score: Texas 55-Colorado 13

Texas Offense: 515

Colorado Offense: 230

Offensive MVP: Dan Buckner

Defensive MVP: Lamarr Houston

My Take: Colt finds his rhythm early, but it won't be with Shipley. Colorado makes a concerted effort to stop Shipley and will leave Buckner open in the seams for a huge game. The Texas running game will be frustrating early on, until 1 of the 3 backs steps up late in the 2nd quarter. The defense will be dominate, force a couple turnovers , and the lone TD given up will come on a fluky play, halfback pass type of play.

Epic matchup between the 'Buffs and Mountaineers.

Anyone up for this? If not, atleast I just didn't clog up the Fanposts.

Orakpo Switches to Strongside LB

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

ESPN has their bowl projections up, Schlabach and Feldman both have Texas playing Florida in the Title Game.

Besides their projections, how cool is that picture. Forget the Swim move, that must be the "Predator".

Do you ever visit sites similar to LoneStarBall? If so, have you ever engaged in conversation there? Would you ever discuss Ranger's items there?
2:48 Jon Daniels: Yes I visit there occassionally. No I haven't gotten involved other than reading some of the entries, but yes I'd participate if asked.
