"After his defense gave him a 7-0 first quarter lead on an Ethan Hiser interception return, McCoy threw three touchdowns to lift Graham to a 34-0 halftime lead. McCoy spread his seven first half completions among four receivers and threw a 38-yard touchdown to Spencer Sims and two touchdowns passes to Dylan Fulford.

The 6-foot-2-inch University of Texas commitment also ran for a 19-yard touchdown on Graham's first drive of the second half."

Looks like we're headed to a Colt vs. Jevan Part Two with Case and Connor.

Happy Thanksgiving BON'ers

  1. I'm thankful the aTm game is back on Thursday
  2. I'm thankful McCoy's Boys, the Gazelles and the Barnes-stormers are all ranked #2
  3. I'm thankful that I'll be in Tampa for the v-ball Final Four and in Pasadena for the Game of the Decade
  4. I'm thankful I'm not, never have been, and never shall be a Sooner fan
  5. And most of all, I'm thankful for getting to spend time with family and friends on this special day

" Chris Simms was taking snaps with the Denver Broncos' starters again Thursday.

That makes it increasingly likely that Simms will start against San Diego on Sunday in place of Kyle Orton, who sprained his left ankle last week against Washington."

David Greene gets Colt McCoy just right

Greene said he admires McCoy for his ability to beat opponents with his arm and with his feet. "He has to do a lot for their offense but he always seems to be under control," he said. "He doesn't seem to have a lot of ego. He just looks like a good old country boy who enjoys playing football and winning."

Thanks to our Men & Women in the Armed Forces



An amazing day here in London, with the entire city coming to a standstill at 1100 GMT for two minutes of silence to honor the passing of the last three WWI veterans here in the UK this year.  Over on espn.com today,  Ivan Maisel has a great story on the stadiums across the country that are dedicated to the memory of the men and women we've lost in defence of our country.  Including the favorite of BON'ers everywhere, DKR Memorial Stadium.

So take two minutes of your own today, and spare a thought for our fellow Horns fans - and fans of all teams across the country - who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

A combination of TJ and Royal? The mind boggles.

"What Avery loves to do as much as any player that I've been around in a long time is really get into the offensive player and belly up to him,'' Barnes said. "He's probably got to get a little defensive discipline, where he doesn't just take off and try to do something on his own and maybe give up a 3-point shot and he has to work on his close-outs. But once he gets there, he can really guard you.''

"Texas' Rick Barnes has a roster that could top any he has coached, including the one T.J. Ford led to a Final Four. Texas has NBA-level players at four positions (freshmen Avery Bradley at shooting guard, freshman Jordan Hamilton on the wing, seniors Damion James and Dexter Pittman up front), and a dynamic freshman point guard named J'Covan Brown who seems to impress everybody who watches a Texas practice or pickup game, including myself. Add Justin Mason, Gary Johnson, Varez Ward, Dogus Balbay and Jai Lucas (Florida transfer who is eligible in December) to the mix, and Barnes will have a hell of a time trying to find enough minutes to keep everybody happy. But, as they say, that's a nice problem to have."
