The Heisman shouldn’t be won or lost by one game. It should be the whole year and highlights. That’s why it is for most outstanding player of the year, not what you did right before voting takes place

The vote is also becoming laughable. The vote seems to be influenced by the BCS standings more year after year. There is precedent for a winner with career records (Ricky Williams and Ron Dane). Colt has the most wins and highest comp % of any QB ever and the first QB to record 12 wins in back to back seasons.

If you look back at past heisman winners, especially before the BCS, I know there are winners on teams that didn't finish in the top two in the country. I'm not rooting for or against Colt, but I believe that he is a worthy Heisman winner in my book and to not be included with the winners of past Heismans would be bad for the trophy. They risk the Heisman trophy becoming irrelevant in college football.

With all the teams going with alternate helmets/uniforms (Missouri and Kansas in their game last Saurday). Would Longhorn fans like to see an alternate uniform/helmet maybe once per year? Not refering to throwback uniforms but new look ones. What alternate helmet designs do you think might be interested in seeing? Here are some ideas that I thought of.
1. Ram like Longhorn Horns design on helmet (in longhorn form of course)
2. interlocking UT logo that is seldome used
3. Bevo toon showing double Hook'em signes/or head only
4. Blown up normal Longhorn head
5. the detailed Longhorn logo from the Zephyr caps
6. Reverse colors, Burnt orange helmet with white Longhorn logo.

What do yall think?

Just a though. Hypothetically speaking. If A&M would have won last Thursday, wouldn't it hurt A&M (and Big 12) more by winning the game then losing the game? As far as money A&M would receive by the shared income it would bring in the Big 12 by Texas probably missing out of the National Championship Game if A&M had won? Granting that Texas takes care of business in the next game vs Nebraska. With that said it would hurt the Big 12 and Nebraska by the same token if Texas fails to beat the Huskers.

I'm not trying to start what's better for the coference, but at this point, anything but a Texas win in the Title Game would not only hurt the Big 12, but the other teams as well in form of money and exposure.

I expect the Texas Defense to be back and on for the Big 12 and the game after in Janurary. I suspect that the main reason that the Defense was torched in Thursday's game was because the limited time to prepare and the tired legs from the quick turn around especially in the secondary.

Rangers Outfield Situation for 2010.

Who should the Rangers go with? I believe the odd man out might be either Byrd or Cruz. Murphy is a consistant bat and defensive presence and Hamilton's bat should make a return in 2010 with health. Barbon is a speedster and a good average guy that shouldn't be forgotten moved. While Cruz has some pop, he hasn't shown much else and his range in the outfield is suspect. Byrd can be streaky with the bat but can make the catches you need to stay in the game. I wonder what kind of pitching the Rangers could add with a trade involving Cruz or Byrd. I would hate to see Byrd go to the Angels like Gary Matthews Jr.
