NATIONAL CHAMPS 2008!

kellen — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:11:27 -0000

You tell your kids that in 2008 the Longhorns were NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! They don’t need some bs system to tell them otherwise. Any of you guys that are throwing around terms like “ugly win” and “not our best effort” are getting sucked into the mary kay cosmetics game that screwed us in the first place. WE WON! That was Ohio State out there not boise. Honestly, on Friday morning, Texas, usc, utah and thursday night’s winner can claim a national championship. What a bullshit system that yields 4 teams claiming to be the best. Hats off to Mack Brown and Pete Carroll for making the statements that they did. I know this is just football, but great leaders make bold statements like that in pursuit of a greater cause (in this case a college football playoff) and are not afraid of the repercussions that might follow. Hook’em…NATIONAL CHAMPS 2008!

Infant body suit

In a search for longhorn clothing I stumble across this. Someone please buy this and put it on your child, at least long enough to take a picture.

Give Pat Forde the sports pullitzer

kellen — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 07:36:44 -0000

We have spent the past 7 days trying to find the words to display our anger and frustration with the ongoings of the BCS. Forde does a great, albeit simple, job of tackling the longhorn issue as well as summarizing the major events of this season and how they all tie in together. I think I am actually able to achieve a bit of closer after reading this article.

Controversy constant along annual twisting BCS path

I love this!

For those looking for an opinion that has a little more bite than the mild mannered, afraid to piss off their bosses, talking heads that we normally see on tv. This is what I would have sounded like had I been in front of a camera anytime over the last week. Only I would have been sweating, my face beet red and there would have been a healthy dose of f-bombs sprinkled throughout.

BCS Commentary

Texas Tennis advances to Final Four

kellen — Mon, 19 May 2008 00:10:47 -0000

This is too cool. Thanks to kellen, this is your liveblog/celebration/wtf? thread. Everyone head over to www.texassports.com and follow the links to watch Texas try to advance to the Championship Round of the NCAA Men's Tennis Tournament! - Horn Brain

#7 Texas men's tennis team defeated #2 Ohio State 4-2 on Sunday in Tulsa. The Horns will advance to the final four for the second time in 3 years (lost to eventual champion Pepperdine in 2006). They will meet the winner of USC-UCLA -It's UCLA -ed. #1 Virginia and defending champ Georgia will meet on the other side. This is a good break for the 'Horns as Virginia and Georgia are probably the top two teams in the tournament. This is a special group of guys, probably the deepest team in the field. They are led by Kellen Damico, a freshman out of Colorado who is a former Wimbledon junior doubles champion. Look for a Texas - Georgia final.

[Note by Horn Brain, 05/19/08 8:39 PM CDT ] Texas wins! Kutrovsky clinches it and Texas is headed to the Finals to play the winner of Georgia/Virginia. Details on TV and all that good stuff to follow.

[Note by Horn Brain, 05/19/08 9:17 PM CDT ] Final round will be played against Georgia at 6PM CST on ESPNU. Be there or be 54b. The University of Tulsa is running the event, so check out their site for any info you may want - Unless of course you're just trying to find out if we really have a tennis team or not, do that on texassports.com.

Stumbled across this. Yes, a Gabe Muoneke blog. Interesting read, funny at times. Has some interesting and positive things to say about his time at Texas. Also some interesting stories about Ime Udoka for those of us who are Spurs fans.

Muschamp Deal Done!?

kellen — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 22:49:43 -0000

This coming from Auburn media:

Muschamp resigns as Auburn defensive coordinator, accepts Texas offer
Posted by Phillip Marshall, The Huntsville Times January 04, 2008 4:25 PM
Categories: Football
Will Muschamp resigned today as Auburn's defensive coordinator to accept a similar position at the University of Texas.
Muschamp, who interviewed at Texas on Thursday, told Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville shortly after returning from Austin this afternoon that he had decided to accept an offer from Longhorn coach Mack Brown. Muschamp leaves after two years on the Auburn staff.
The Auburn president and Board of Trustees recently approved a raise for Muschamp that would have made his salary $425,000 in 2008.He had a two-year contract with no buyout clause. He would have been the highest paid assistant coach in the Southeastern Conference.

Reason for Hope?

Or just more blog fantasies? Bob Stoops' biggest fan writes (last paragraph most important):

I want to see USC and OU play. I don't know if LSU is third or what, but there's no question the Sooners and Trojans are the two best. I'm not complaining about the BCS. It is what it is. Until the college presidents agree to a playoff system, there's not going to be a perfect system, and the BCS generally has worked pretty well.
Pete Carroll has assembled the most talented team in the country. Bob Stoops is the best coach. There's no one even close. He has won with power running teams and with passing teams. Why does he always seem to have these big, talented defensive ends when our local NFL team can't find even one?
NFL scouts love the Sooners. One guy told me the basic difference between OU and Texas players is that OU players get better while they're in college. OU coaches apparently do more one-on-one work. Texas coaches apparently emphasize more team stuff.
I'm hearing there's a sense of urgency at the University of Texas about the state of the program. Mack Brown may sense things slipping, and that's why he's apparently considering changes to his coaching staff on both sides of the ball. -- Richard Justice

Most of the attention of late has been of Akina. Changes coming on the offensive side of the ball as well?
