TEXAS LONGHORNS
1) Foreign Point One thing Texas desperately lacked entering the season was a true point guard. Without a ball handler that could penetrate, smooth shooting guard A.J. Abrams couldn't get a clean look at the rim. Rick Barnes' solution was to bring in the Turks. A native of Turkey, Dogus (pronounced Douh-oosh) Balbay saw his playing time skyrocket as the season progressed. He's a great perimeter defender and can penetrate with ease. The only problem is that Dogus can't shoot. Literally, he couldn't hit beer if he were floating in a keg. In 668 minutes on the court this season, he has only attempted three 3-pointers. More » -

Shocking New Evidence In The Natalie Nelson/USC Song Girl Investigation
You remember Natalie Nelson, the USC Song Girl who infamously cheered for the wrong team when Texas scored a touchdown in the 2006 Rose Bowl. She's back in the news, as Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News has unearthed a photo of Ms. Nelson at a 2006 Halloween party wearing as her costume ... a University of Texas football jersey. Are you doing the math? Was a conspiracy afoot in Cheerleaderland? More incriminating photos following the jump.

Colt McCoy's Girlfriend Exhibits Excellence In TV Journalism
Here isMandy PepperidgeRachel Glandorf, who is supposedly Colt McCoy's girlfriend and, I'm sure, a top-notch journalist for CBS affiliate KEYE42-TV in Austin, Texas. Here's hoping the powers that be at TBS/ESPN/Versus/Fox Sports Southwest/Playboy Channel are reading this, because fast tracking this young lady's budding TV career should be a top priority in my opinion. Anyone who knows me knows that I am very concerned over the state of TV journalism, and Erin Andrews can't last forever, after all. Video, as they say, following the jump. More » -

QB Colt McCoy starred as he toyed with the Missouri defense, abusing them for 337 yards, throwing for two scores, and running in two more on his own. More » -

'Red River Shootout' Should Moisten Panties Just Fine
Those of you looking for that blatantly marquee matchup today are in for something special: The Big XII will take center stage today with the 103rd renewal of the Red River Shootout. Of course, now they've given the game this miffy, effeminate name of the "Red River Rivalry," which elicits the same sort of inspiration as a calculus midterm or a date with someone that you know, for a fact, doesn't put out. But this game always puts out, and with both teams heading into the Cotton Bowl ranked in the top five, you may want to shoo away your roommates before this thing gets too heavy.

A "bold" proclamation: If Memphis doesn't at least make the Final Four this year, no matter what their record is next year, they're not getting a No. 1 seed.

Texas Longhorns
1. Never Gonna Give You Up. Strangely, after last year's second-round loss to USC (which is almost fitting, really), the people least confused by the Texas Longhorns' early exit were their own fans. The prevailing opinion was one of satisfaction that was unexpected six months prior. Who can blame them? The 'Horns started four freshmen and a sophomore and carried virtually no depth on their bench. It's certainly no secret that a Texas hoops fan's expectations aren't Duke- or Kansas-sized, but maybe they had a notion that this was all part of Rick Barnes's long-term plan. To that end, Kevin Durant and Craig Winder were the only two departures from last year's squad. If you're not up to speed on the starting five: D.J. Augustin is among the best players, let alone point guards, in the nation, A.J. Abrams has evolved into an effective pick-and-pop shooter, Justin Mason plays defense as well as anybody, Damion James is a double-double magnet, and Connor Atchley can score from anywhere and is the Big XII's best shot blocker. Off the bench: Gary Johnson provides the skill down low which the Longhorns have lacked since Lamarcus Aldridge split for The Association. More » -
