UT: The World's 15th Best University
3According to The Times of London. 15th out of 200 worldwide, 9th among North American universities, and the second-highest ranking public university in the U.S. Second only to ... Cal. Ok, they got us there. BUT, great news for UT nevertheless.

Tristan Thompson, Fashionista
2"Perhaps the most GQ-ready look was found on Tristan Thompson, the fourth player selected, also by the Cavaliers. The forward from the University of Texas wore a custom charcoal suit by Paper Brown Bag, a Harlem label, that called to mind a very fashionable Pee-wee Herman with tapered pants and a shrunken jacket. Thompson, 20, comes to the league with a taste for Ferragamo, YSL and Comme des Garçons. 'I definitely like a European look, pride myself on the European style,' he said."

3The 12th-seeded Texas men's tennis team upset 5th-seed Tennessee yesterday to earn a spot in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament in College Station. Tomorrow the Horns face the four seed, Georgia, our nemesis from the championship match last season. Meanwhile, at the Austin Regional of the NCAA men's golf tournament, Texas is nine strokes behind Texas Tech after the first day of play.

Gillispie reportedly ousted at Kentucky
Press conference scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET. No tears for him -- his contract calls for a $6 million bailout .. I mean, buyout. The man should go into banking.
Colt is Dallas Morning News' Big XII POY
I hope Heisman voters see this and pay attention. Tech fans are grumbling in the comments section, but I suppose you can't blame them. They don't seem to appreciate that the DMN names Leach...
If Jason King's tongue gets any deeper up Stoops' ass...

Appearances at #1
This graph from an AP story caught my attention: The Sooners remained No. 1 in the new AP poll Sunday, their record 97th time at the top. They had 51 of a possible 65 first-place votes, eight...

Every Football Stadium in Texas
1This will help BONers while away the time until the college season starts ... a database of every football stadium in Texas. TexasBob even has Tiger Field in McLean, Texas, so I figure this is one comprehensive site.

FWIW: Texas 7th in final polls
The Horns fell one spot in the AP and rose one spot in the ESPN/USA Today polls released today. I know, big deal.But there was one interesting factoid: Ten schools were ranked in every poll this...
Longhorn Women Upset 10th-ranked Sooners
Well this may take a little of the sting out of the men's loss in Lubbock yesterday. The Texas women took this one by a full 15 points on the road, despite another double-double (her 88th) by...
Who remembers the '81-82 basketball team?
With the men's basketball team now 9-0 on the young season, I keep reading references to the record set by the 1981-82 team, which jumped out to a 14-0 start. I'm wondering how that story played...

Notre Dame #1, Texas #2

If Texas and o.u. both lose
If Texas stumbles against a&m, and o.u. loses to OSU, I figure the Sooners win the South and go to the Big XII title game, right? After all, if we tie, and they won the head-to-head, it's pretty...
What happens if Reggie loses his Heisman?

Will we really lose our Top 25 ranking?
If we do, it will be the first time in 114 weeks, longest consecutive streak in the nation right now. We'd have to tumble 6+ spots in the AP, 9+ spots in the USA Today. But of those six below...

Who are you pulling for now?
I find myself rooting for the Ags. They're Texans, after all. Redneck and toothless, yes, but they're Texans! If not the Ags, then Kansas, to reflect well on all of us in the Big XII and to...
