Pitcher Traded for Bats Dies, no one finds out for 4 months
I know its not related to Texas or football, but
1. It's a fanshot
2. It's a story worth sharing
Anyways, this is a truly sad story about John Odom, the laughingstock of the whole "minor leaguer traded for bats" story that occurred this summer. Apparently, even though he laughed off the trade and told people that it was just a funny stunt, this whole thing wasn't as funny as originally thought.

Man up, let's go to Arizona

It sucks. It's disappointing. South Beach in January would have been the perfect place to watch the Horns play. But, on the other hand, have any of you been to Arizona in the wintertime? Pretty damn nice. I was there during the Holidays of 2006, staying in Sedona, where bunch of Sooner faithful had come to partake in the Boise State game. Needless to say, the airport the next morning looked as depressing as an AA meeting in a non-smoking facility with a broken coffee machine. Anyways...

Why the BCS sucks

I'll put it in here, and I hope that by 6 pm tomorrow night, I am completely off-base, and that the unthinkable has not happened.
Before I say anything more, I would like to mention how crappy it is that even in Texas Tech's best season ever, the only thing they really accomplished was pissing on Texas' parade.

ESPN - Fisher reached out to police because therapist said Young was suicidal - NFL
This saga is ridiculous. I hope he can come back in 5 weeks and put every little bit of this behind him.

Les Miles kicks Perriloux off of team.
Huh, funny how that works out. This guy goes from the arrogant HS senior who thinks he is the heir apparent to VY to being kicked off of a team that just won the national championship, a team he was going to inherit as the starting QB. Waste. Of. Talent.

Ricky Williams Passes Tony Dorsett for the all-time career rushing record. There have been many more Texas football moments that are more exciting and more momentous than this since then, but I am proud to say that this was the first one I saw in person. (via trivinity)

being a temporary resident of Memphis for the last seven years, I am afforded the pleasure of attending the regionals pretty much in my backyard. I haven't been able to see the Horns in person this year, so I'm getting excited. My question is this: who else is going?

Just a quick question about Charlie Weis. Did anybody see his postgame response after losing to Air Force?

"Wake Me Up When June Ends" - Shaun Rogers in Trouble

As if it wasn't enough for current Texas athletes to be getting into trouble, Longhorn alums are taking it upon themselves to "stand up and be counted," as Shaun Rogers gets accused of groping and assaulting a Detroit stripper. Lets get June over with.
