We're still third, no thanks to the computer rankings which have us 6th. But the Coaches and Harris Polls keep us at 3rd. I've been waiting all day to see how the computers would treat Texas. Last year the computers seemed to really like Texas when the other polls were down on us. It looks like they flipped this year.

I just finished watching the Super Bowl like the rest of you burntorange guys and gals and I watched a replay of UT and Texas Tech as well as UT-Ohio State games. Arizona had bad time management. They scored too early and were unable to protect their lead. The first half was reminiscent of Texas- Texas Tech game. If only they had not had the lapse on the goal line at the end of the first half they could have gone in and scored a touch down and taken a 14-10 half time or the least a 10-10 tie. No, they had to have a crazy interception that led to the Steelers scoring and making it a 17-7 halftime.

Instead of that last drive that led to a score with 2 minutes left they should have marched down and scored with 20 seconds left.

Oh well, Texas revisited!!

Is that Santonio Holmes related to Priest Holmes?

Support for Texas and Alabama game

Powers that be...MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

I've seen several blog sites and Fox News talking about a Texas and Alabama game in the Sugar Bowl. This would be sweet for both teams and coupled with Oklahoma and Florida in BCS game this would be nice revenge and help sooth the ill feelings at Texas. Whoever is in charge, whether it be ESPN or whoever, MAKE IT SO. Please...

I'm getting sick and tired of Stoops running up the score and then claiming the high ground. This is blatant unsportsmanlike conduct and teams and coaches that participate should be penalized for this behavior.

The University of Houston did this back in the 60's when they beat up on a poor team, 100-0 and were censored by the general public and other schools. Where is the shame today. We just label it "Style Points" and suddenly it is okay.

Bad behavior is NEVER OKAY!!

I would like to take a moment to thank Coach Mack Brown and the University of Texas Football Team for producing a memorable 2008 football season. And here is hoping the team goes on and wins whichever post season game they are invited to. The team has been remarkable this year.

I would also like to make a suggestion for the 2009 season. I am hoping that Coach Brown and the Longhorns are not sucked into this hyperbole of posting 60 points and more for every game. I like the 52-10 games. My thought is that the team should win 11 games by 52-10 spread. However, when Texas plays Oklahoma next October, they break the rule and let's put up 70 points on the Sooners to 0. That's it, 70-0 and 11 games with 52-10. That has a nice even tone to it. Go Longhorns, 2009 National Champions.

I got this as an email today and I thought I would share it:

NEWS FLASH

Texas A&M football practice was delayed nearly two hours yesterday after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. The coach, [Mike Sherman], immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line. Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again.
