Post your final top 10 ranking prediction

MJY6087 — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 04:53:53 -0000

Here is MY prediction:

1. Florida

2. Texas

3. Utah

4. USC

5. OU

6. TCU

7. Alabama

8. Oregon

9. Georgia

10. Penn St

Realistically, Ut will probably not be 2nd, esp since Utah won by such a huge margin (and undefeated) and USC beat PSU, which beat Ohio St.

Which leads me to an early look at next years top 5 2009 preseason prediction rankings

1. Florida

2. Texas

3. Alabama

4. OU

5. USC

A quick review of Texas vs St Josephs

MJY6087 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 03:30:44 -0000

Texas played decent today and won and advances to face Notre Dame and Pre Season POY Luke Harongody.

Look for a full review by awiggo? (sorry dont remember it begins with an A i believe)

Things Id Like to note

-D James is such a tough player, he gets points in the paint/perimeter, but he cant pass very well. Turned the ball over WAY too much

-Abrams is on FIRE. We need him to continue what he does to provide momentum and pts for the team

-Pittman is actually exciting to watch

-I know Mason is used as mop up duty, but he didnt do much this game.....

-Defense is stellar, but we commit many turnovers as well. Last year, if i remember correctly, we had one of the fewest turnovers in the country (avg 6 a game)

-Offense needs a huge boost, too many missed shots.

Texas vs Stetson Review

MJY6087 — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:24:04 -0000

I attended tonights game against Stetson. Here are some key points to be noted

-Starters: James, Abrams, Atchley, Mason, and Chapman. Thats right, Clint Chapman made his first career start? Dgous still serving his suspension

-Varez Ward missed all 6 of his FTA. First game jitters?? Not bad though, hes got potential

-Atchley 3/3 3 pointers. 3 blocked shots

-Abrams fills DJs void with 21 points.

-FTs in general were horrible. Rick Barnes cant be pleased.

-Pittman is the real deal. He can actually run to the other end of the court.

-Im not worried about UCLA, as much as I am about North Carolina/Notre Dame

-Key players: James, Abrams, Atchley must be healthy

-15 TOs. Unacceptable

3 reasons why we lost in the final 2 minutes (UT vs Tech)

MJY6087 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:34:46 -0000

Some of these were very obvious but I cant help but to vent

1. POOR coaching. Mack Browns/Davis decision to not use up the full 40 seconds to snap and snap with a good 20 seconds remaining (for each snap) throughout our last TD possesion was a HORRIBLE mistake. He thought our young D would come through. Did they not realize that tech could score in less than 1 minute?????????

2. Blake Gideon.......enough said...very young and inexperienced, couldnt step up when we needed him to

3. Curtis Brown.....missed a crabtree tackle and flew out of bounds, are you kidding me????? This is where missing Chykie hurt us bad.

Our D in general made some plays, but Tech exposed out poor pass defense. Why is Deon Beasely still playng??? and Henry Melton...my god.....he missed so many tackles....

I love this texas team with all my heart, but theres no denying that some improvements can be made. Remember, National championship caliber teams beat the best teams and are consistently the best team, and we were not the best team on the field that last night.

Surprise teams of 2008

MJY6087 — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 05:40:05 -0000

What teams have been surpising so far in 2008? In terms of dissapointment and joy...

I think Uconn, OK state, Penn St., Georgia Tech, bama, and the most surprising....Vandy. These teams have done fairly well, especially Vandy.

Dissapointing wise.....Clemson Tigers...i bought into the hype

But seriously lets look at Vandy. I know they won todays game only bc of a auburn mistake...but Could they potentially be 10-2 by the end of the year?

@ Miami W

S. Carolina W

Rice W

Ole Miss W

Auburn W

@ MSU W

@ Georgia L

Duke W

@ Florida L

Kentucky W

Tennessee W

@ Wake Forest W

6-2 SEC????? Very possible in my opinion

Cotton Bowl or Sugar bowl??

Texas Basketball to play in 08-09 Maui Invitational

MJY6087 — Fri, 02 May 2008 20:28:17 -0000

The Teams participating are:

Indiana hoosiers, North Carolina Tar Heels, Alabama Crimson Tide, St Josephs hawks, Oregon ducks, ND Irish, Chaminade spiders

heres the link to the official maui invitational website sponsored by EA games

Perhaps one of the toughest tournaments yet for the longhorns??? North Carolina and Notre Dame are sure to give us trouble. Maybe a glorious victory such as the one against Tennesse is attainable?
