New Addition
Just wanted to drop by a tell everyone that we have added to the Longhorn family. Today at 1:44 MST, Colton Russell Kirk was born and my wife insists that his first photo be in a Longhorn outfit...I knew there was a reason I married her.
We added to the Longhorn family
I just thought it would be awesome to tell people, especially Longhorn fans like myself. We bought a new puppy, miniature schnauzer and we decided to let my 5 year old daughter name him. Without skipping a beat, she promptly said, "his name is Jordan, like Jordan Shipley, my favorite player." After her birth, this was the proudest day of my life...
If Texas wins Saturday, is it an upset...?

So, I had read somewhere that OSU was looking at possibly wearing all orange on Saturday night and thought I would check their official website to see if any details could be found there. After finding nothing, I stumbled across the transcript of what players and Coach Gundy have said about the game coming up and figured it might be worth the read. What I found caught me by surprise and maybe I am just not reading it right or something, but it sounds like RB Keith Toston feels that a loss to Texas would be an upset...Maybe one of you guys could read this and decipher what it means...
This is not intended to be any kind of trash talk towards OSU, as I am very nervous as a fan about the game on Saturday, I am just trying to figure out exactly what Toston meant. Below is the text of the statement by Toston:
On how the hype before the Georgia game and after the Houston game will help the Cowboys this week
“It makes us have our mind on the right things, knowing that we can get upset at anytime. It’s a big deal. I think that’s what U of H did for us. We came off a great win against Georgia. We were looking at the sky as the limit and then we got swept out from under our feet and that happens. I think that was a good thing to happen to us. Now I feel that we’re a little more alert and I think it’s going to help us.”

CFN has their Big 12 Outlook posted today. Surprisingly, they have Texas as a three loss team. Not only three loses, but three loses in a row. Can you guess the losses?

I was wondering if anyone else is heading up for the game in Laramie? I bought three tickets today, said that they were in the Texas Donor section(???) for my daughters first "Hook 'Em" game, as she call's the Longhorns. I was hoping to find some other people that maybe we could hook up with and tailgate with before the game. Driving from Colorado Springs and we will be there sometime Friday night since we dont get off work until 5pm. So, if anyone else is going, hopefully we can get together and hang out before we put the wuppin' to the brown jersey'd Cowboys...
BTW, if anyone knows where the "Texas Donor Section" is, please let me know. I am unable to find the info anywhere...
So I found out two weeks ago

that I will be missing all but two games this year. I will be here, and by here I mean the USA, for the FAU and UTEP games, but two days after the UTEP game I will be on a plane and headed to an all expense paid trip to a vacation hotspot I like to call Kirkuk, Iraq. My wife has promised to DVR all the games for me, but I will not be able to hold off catching scores for almost 5 months so, hopefully I can keep up with you guys as best I can.
I've also spent the past two weeks going through some awesome training for this deployment so coming back today and reading some of these posts has been awesome.
Anyway, I look forward to reading BON as much as I can and hopefully keeping up with how the games actually went since we have such a great fanbase here at BON.
HOOK EM!
Kirk

Daniel Gibson is tearing up the nets in New Orleans, he made 11 three pointers during this game, a record, and led all s1corers with 33 points.

Found this on the Statesman...
Expect more Chiles, Davis says
Monday, September 24, 2007, 01:30 PM
Offensive coordinator Greg Davis says he has a package of plays ready to go in which freshman QB John Chiles is on the field at the same time as Colt McCoy.
"We had four or five plays designed out of that group of people," Davis said.
McCoy and Chiles were on the field at the same time for only one play against Rice. McCoy split out as a receiver, and Chiles took the snap. Rice blitzed and shut down Chiles’ run for no gain.
Chiles returned later in the game to put a charge into the second-team offense.
Brown said he thought Chiles "did really well."
"We were so happy that we were able to let him go," Brown said. "I thought we got done what we needed to get done."
Added Davis in bit of understatement, "Obviously, he runs the zone read pretty well."
Any thoughts?
