Burnt Orange Nation Colt needs your Heisman vote

As of Friday morning, Colt only leads Sam Bradford by 1% in the Heisman voting for fans on ESPN.com.

Granted, the winner receives one official vote for the Heisman but we need to make sure Colt receives it and not Bradford.

The link - http://promo.espn.go.com/espn/contests/theheismanvote/

If you're voting on the Davey O'Brien award - http://www.daveyobrien.org/ - it's down to Colt, Harrell, and Bradford. Colt should win this in a landslide as he has 67% of the votes.

You can vote once per day for each of these awards.

Burnt Orange Nation Stoops, Leach & voting

So here comes the political whining by Poops..... "Now we're in the mix with everybody and, with the way we played, you'd think ahead," Stoops said. "If you can't move us in front of Texas because they beat us, then you have to keep Texas Tech in front of Texas. If it's logical for one, it's logical for the other."

The entire article can be found at: : http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2008/11/23/sunday-hangover-ou-oh-yeah/

If Stoops is saying he wants the polls to reflect Tech, then Texas, then OU......I could probably live with that. If he's going to put Tech before Texas, then OU is bringing up the rear. (Yes, pun intended.)

Leach said he voted for OU over Texas. Gee, there's a shocker coming from a Poops cronie. Any doubt Chuck Long, Mike Stoops, and his other fat ass...er, cronie Mangino voted for OU?!?!

Mack won't run up the score and Mack will publicly talk about the faults of the system, but won't technically "lobby" for Texas to be ahead of OU.

If OU wiggles its way into Miami, I'm going to puke. Can you imagine the Sooner fans? ("You - Texas - beat us and we still are better than you.")

Burnt Orange Nation Muschamp, Chizek .....hypothetically speaking

Let's suppose Muschamp leaves for a head coaching gig either this year or next year. Now suppose that Chizek says "I give up"...this year or next year (look at how bad Iowa State really is). They are actually taking a step backwards instead of progressing. The argument that the Big 12 is stronger only goes so far - if you've seen ISU play, it's clear the Baylor loss devastated them. Even games prior to Baylor they had a lot of mental breakdowns and setbacks. 

Any chance Mack asks Chizek to return or Chizek says "hey Mack can I come home" ???

I don't think Chizek is the type of guy to quit, but ISU is bad....really bad. IF Chizek left, he would have to return as a coordinator somewhere if he ever wanted to try running a ship somewhere else eventually.

Would you lay out the "welcome home" mat or want Chizek to keep on moving?? Now if Muschamp does take a gig elsewhere and he is not groomed to take over for Mack, then I would take Chizek back in a heartbeat.

Burnt Orange Nation Muschamp and next year's Tech

Now that Fulmer is out at Tennesse, what's everyone's opinion on Muschamp leaving for Tennessee and SEC country? Tennessee would be a nice gig, esp. when Muschamp has SEC roots.

Next year's Tech - it will be fun to beat them in Austin and show them how to win with class. Harrell will be gone; I heard talk of Crabtree leaving for the NFL - isn't he a sophomore or was he redshirted? (don't you have to be out 3 yrs?)  They lose a couple linemen as well don't they?

Leach was on Fox last night's BCS show and said something to the effect that Lubbocks fans and gameday environment is the best in the country. Um....apparently he hasn't been to the Georgia/Florida Cocktail party, the OSU/Michigan rally, LSU, Notre Dame and a host of other places. Austin is without question one of the best environments but since he always on the short end of the stick in Austin, I can see why he may not like Austin.

Finally will Leach finally make the jump to a higher profile school? Or should I say will a higher profile school make the jump to hire a goofball? He wanted the Miami gig and got skipped over.  If they lose their stars it seems logical that Leach leaves Lubbock.

Burnt Orange Nation Vote for Colt

No this has nothing to do with the Presidential Election.

Ya'll need to vote for Colt for the Davey O'Brien Award (top QB) and the Heisman. I've been watching the voting on this one for a couple weeks and Colt sits on top but Tim Tebow has been gaining ground. To vote for Colt on this award go to http://www.daveyobrien.org/ and then register. You can vote once per day.

Now for the Heisman, the winning player will receive ONE vote that gets counted in with those that actually cast a vote for the Heisman. Currently Colt is also first for this award with 14% but for some idiotic stupid reason Javon Ringer also has 14%. So you all need to vote to push Colt past Javon. Go to http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/heisman/index and then click on the "2008 Vote Heisman" link or go straight to http://promo.espn.go.com/espn/contests/theheismanvote/

Burnt Orange Nation Time of game = indicator of success??

Just curious what everyone else thinks.......

(I am not speaking of one particular game and not even necessarily talking about this season.)

It seems to me that the Horns always play a much better game when it's an early game (11:00) or if it's a night game.

I have always kind of felt that Texas tends to have more struggles during the afternoon games (2:30). And, at least to me, the Horns always play their best if it's a night game.

I would be interested in seeing actual statistics of our won/loss record for the various time slots.....if that even exists.

Burnt Orange Nation B'que them piggies

I have no question and no real story to pass along other than I hope the Horns roast them piggies. Man I hate those redneck, trailer trash jack-holes. (I could see where you might think I was referring to OU - yes I hate them to, but for now I'm referring to the piggies of Bill Clinton-ville.)

I am confident the Horns will win - the piggies just don't stand a chance on paper nor by judging their previous outings. I would like to repeat Bama's butt-whoopin' on the piggies but as long as we win by a comfortable margin I am happy. A narrow victory by the Horns would make the piggie fans happy that they played competitively with a (top 10) Longhorns team and we can't have that.

The one small pleasure I do get is to not have to see that jackass, piece of shit Houston Nutt on the sidelines. (Although it would have been nice to shove a butt-whoopin' up his stinky slide.)

Feel free to add your disdain for the piggies..........

Burnt Orange Nation Hook 'em sign - South Florida at it again

The website is The Wizard of Odds and is about college football. They are showing the football poster of various programs every week. They have the South Florida posters if you scroll down just a little ways.

Here is the link....... http://www.thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/

Check out the various posters - players and fans using the Hook 'em sign.

Now I know it's foolish to think we can stop them from using the sign that Texas has actually TRADEMARKED, but you would think we could nail them for using it on the posters!!!

Burnt Orange Nation Perrilloux - causing trouble again

Here is the main excerpt and the link follows below.....

I am so glad Perri-loser did not choose Texas.

A server at Kona Grill in Perkins Rowe told The Daily Reveille late Tuesday night that Perrilloux arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes after it closed Friday.

Perrilloux entered the bar and attempted to order drinks. After he was denied service, Perrilloux began to curse and use racial slurs, the server said.

A Kona Grill manager approached Perrilloux, who then cursed the manager. The server said Perrilloux was asked to leave. And the police were called to the restaurant, but Perrilloux had left by the time any officers arrived.

The server said LSU coach Les Miles called the restaurant Saturday to apologize for Perrilloux.

Burnt Orange Nation Bill Self - next Okie St coach??

A friend told me that Self is considering the Okie State coaching gig. Anyone hear/see anything along these lines?

That guy is a douchebag if he even CONSIDERS the job (well, I think he's a douchebag period). I know he's from the land of thieves but there aren't many gigs bigger than KU.

Self is the basketball version of Bobby Petrino - jumping ship at the drop of a hat.

Associated Press

Updated: January 25, 2008, 12:18 PM ET

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Two Texas A&M football players accused of tying up and mugging a drug dealer at gunpoint have been indicted on felony robbery charges.

Yemi Babalola and Brandon Joiner were indicted Thursday on two counts each of aggravated robbery, the district attorney's office said.

Joiner was also indicted on one felony count of manufacturing or delivering methamphetamine and two misdemeanor counts of possessing marijuana and hydrocodone, according to the prosecutor's office. Babalola also faces a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge.

Aggravated robbery is a first-degree felony punishable by 5 to 99 years or life in prison. Manufacturing or delivering a controlled substance is a second-degree felony punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison.

Burnt Orange Nation So much to love about OU losing

Where do I start?  The only thing better than OU losing is when OU gets thrashed. Yea, there were some suspect moments but overall WV dominated and came back with an answer every time OU scored.

Burnt Orange Nation Jan 1st Bowl game thoughts - so far

Happy to see Missouri piss pound the trailer trash piggies. I only wish Houston Nutt would have been on the sideline to endure the humiliation.

Missouri will be a force next season.

I cannot wait for the Horns to demolish the piggies next year.

How in the hell did Tech come back to beat Virginia?

I know Tech tends to fall in the same pattern every year, but they have 18 starters returning next year. Ouch. And we go to Lubbock. Ouch.

Burnt Orange Nation Mack's early Christmas presents

Mack should look at the calender - it's November not December.

  • Mack's present to Fran - leaving the Horns defense in Austin. No I know the defense he left in Austin isn't that spectacular, but the guys he let play defense today were downright junior high level.
  • Mack's present to his regular starting linebackers - letting them play in their last regular season game despite their atrocious level of play all year long.
  • Mack's present to McGee, the J-train, and the Aggie receivers - not making any adjustments at all during the entire game. NONE. NADA. ZILCH. ZERO. McGee should be given Heisman consideration based on that one performance alone.
  • Mack's present to Greg Davis and Duane Akina - another year at the helm. At best their present should be a lump of coal.
