"Several operators in the state of Texas -- Consolidated Communications, En-Touch Systems, E-Tex Communications, Bay City Cablevision, Mid-Coast Cablevision and Texas Mid-Gulf Cablevision -- will make the Longhorn Network (LHN) available to University of Texas fans. The network, dedicated to all things University of Texas, features its first football game on Sept. 3 when the Rice Owls take on the Longhorns from Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m. Central (with a re-air at midnight Central)."

That's awesome, Now what about the rest of us!

If you are interested, we still need 3 to 5 more players to round out our league.

Out of curiosity, I decided to check up on the basketball team page and wandered into the roster page.  I also scrolled through the commitment list in Orangebloods after heaing of the most recent commit for basketball and was reminded that Jackson Jeffcoat was listed as a commit toplay basketball, the same can also be said for Darius Terrell.  However, neither one is listed on the roster for basketball.  I was curious if anyone knew whether these players will attempt to play both sports or if I somehow missed the fact that they will concentrate only on football?

Out of curiosity... I have heard that Scotty was injured, is he healthy for this weekend's game? If so, what is the outlook on his production? I have watched him over the years and although I am a Texas fan I have enjoyed watching him produce against good teams.  I have'nt heard much about him this preseason and was just curious what his status was.  I appreciate your input, and I have to say I am said to see Colorado leave the Big 12. Good luck in the Pac ? "what ever they're gonna call it".

I will be attending the October 10th game vs Colorado.  Currently I am shopping my ticket/seating options and need some help with best selection.  I have only been to 2 games in Austin, once in '99 and Last year vs Baylor, what sections would you choose to sit, with a budget of 130.00 per ticket?

I am also a foodie, I love to eat.  Can you recommend some restaurants for me visit during my time there?  Chuy's, Bikinis, and Opal Devine's are where we ate the last time in town.

Not sure of what to expect this weekend.  Both teams have been so inconsistent lately.  Hopefully Texas can put together an entire game and win.  Either way there will be FREE FOOD.

Hoop-Fest - Red Raider Indoor Tailgate on Saturday

<!-- LINKS TO RELATED PAGES BEGIN --><!-- LINKS TO RELATED PAGES END -->

Lubbock, TX - Red Raider fans be sure to attend Hoop-Fest, the first men's basketball indoor tailgate on Saturday, January 17 prior to the Texas Tech / Texas men's game.

Weather won't be a concern since Hoop-Fest will be held indoors at the Animal and Food Sciences carpeted livestock arena just across the street from the United Spirit Arena.

HOOP-FEST

Hoop-Fest timeline

I am so torn as to who I want to win this weekend.  I assume that Texas will handle A&M and Tech will handle Baylor.  I am undecided on the OSU vs OU game.   So many scenarios...I just can't decide.  An OU win could possibly put us in the conference championship but OU could also sneak in.  An OU loss puts Tech in the conference title game, which I don't think either Tech or Mizzou could jump us after a win...still I don't know .

Austin-American Statesman is reporting that there is an outside chance that 3...that's right  3...Big 12 teams could end up playing in a BCS game.  Although, this scenario seems like a longshot, there is the possiblity that this wil happen.  Especially, with the Big XII title game being in KC.  Basically, a Mizzou home game. Can you imagine the fallout if this actually happens?
