Oh dear god. This is awesome.

Great read. Didn't know amputation was a possibility at one point. Whole new level of respect for him.

Great news! Hopefully the team can translate this to a deep run this year!

Awesome story on why and how he chose Texas. A lot about his personal life and history as a coach.

It's awesome. Thought you all would appreciate it.

It's pretty funny.

Update: The scoop on what had happened: "Buckner was visiting a woman at her apartment complex at 614 Holleman Drive East in College Station when the two of them got into an argument and Buckner was asked to leave, Sigler said. Buckner refused to leave, and neighbors called police to report the disturbance. The Longhorns receiver refused to get in the police car, Sigler said." -from the Statesman Strangely, neither pay site is reporting Buckner's arrest at this time and neither is the Statesman. It's legit though, as the link over at BC connects to the real deal Brazos County jail records. Buckner marks the fourth Longhorn football player arrested since the middle of November -- while it's not a streak as bad as the 2007 summer, it's getting close. Ken Rucker's move into what basically amounts to a babysitting position on the team was supposed to stop some of this behavior, but this falls on the players -- the coaching staff cannot monitor them every second of every day, particularly in the off season. As a team, all the players must collectively make better decisions and some of that falls on the senior leadership. When Brian Orakpo and Roy Miller were seniors in 2008, this type of thing wasn't happening because the players all knew better than to cross them. Who fills that void now, especially with leaders like Lamarr Houston and Colt McCoy gone? --GoBR-- Arrested for criminal trespass and resisting arrest in College Station. WTF was he doing in College Station?

ESPN recap above. Great to see Quan do so well! Hopefully he gets some meaningful snaps at WR this season too.

Leake might be done for the year with elbow tendinitis issues.

USC's new D-line coach is a good friend of his father's(Derrick Kennard, former Saint's lineman). Family connections might hurt us again, re: Darrell Scott.
