How to get aggy to cancel their TM subscription?

I just received the new issue of Texas Monthly, and aggy ain't gonna like it much.

The cover has a pic of Mack, DeD, DKR, Augie and the Lady Coaches (Rick was obviously out of town!) with the caption:

LONGHORNS, INC. - How UT built the most successful college sports program of all time.

I haven't read the article, but plan to do so before PB & Co. come on the interwebsradioshow.

I dare any of you to set foot in HEB or Walgreen's and not find your way to the magazine rack, where on page 142 you'll read:

In the arms race to build the fanciest stadiums, hire the best coaches, and attract the top athletes, the University of Texas is unrivaled: Its athletics program is the most profitable—and most successful—of any school in history.

Hook 'em Texas Monthly!

Inning by Inning: Portrait of a Coach hits cable

horndude — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 13:36:33 -0000

Living in Houston, I missed the world premier of UT alum Rick Linklater's new documentary on Augie at the Paramount (June 2).

Set your DVRs because it will be on the ESPN network Sunday and Wednesday!

Backstory interview with Linklater

As I found out a few weeks ago when I spoke to the Austin Film Society (Linklater is Artistic Director), ESPN owns the rights to the film. The two hour documentary is scheduled to be shown:

Sunday, June 15 9:00PM CDT - ESPN2 and ESPN2HD

Wednesday, June 18 2:00PM CDT - ESPNCL (Classic)

There are hints of a DVD package coming available, which could include extra footage and would be a different version from the one we will see on cable, you know, due to Augie's flowery vocab and all.

Don't miss this and Hook 'em Augie!

Craig Way is on now and will replay portions and discuss at 2:20 PM CST

Listen Live KVET 1300

Let's discuss after we've heard/read the news.

Kyle Shanahan promoted

horndude — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:07:21 -0000

The Texans have promoted former Horn WR Shanahan from QB Coach to OC. He's now all of 28 years old, the youngest OC in the NFL. They also brought Alex Gibbs out of retirement to be Assistant Head Coach and oversee the offense. Kyle will continue to coach the QBs.

Chron reported: "I don't care about Kyle's age, because I know he's a darn good coach that's only going to get better," Kubiak said. "His knowledge of attacking coverages is beyond his years. I think he's going to make an excellent play-caller, too."

AP Story on ESPiN

"...and Matt, sometimes they'll be coming from that direction..."

There has been a lot of discussion about Major (age 29) having enough experience to be our OC.

Correlation? Your thoughts/concerns?
