We don't talk about national signing day much around these parts, unless there are pert coed rumps involved. Because the rest of it is pretty much all about fax machines. And no one likes or cares about fax machines, except office workers and rapt college football fans. Listen to Josh Levin, on this week's excerpt from Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast. More »

Bill Byrne, athletic director at Texas A&M, made an embarrassing gaffe this week when he revealed himself to be a terribly old man who doesn't understand email. He should know by now that all internet threats are empty threats. More »

The A&M CheerYell Leaders fired up for the K-State game with a stunning rendition of "Ding Dong Song." (NSFW.) And put it on YouTube for some reason. They lost 62-14, but you can't really keep score on embarrassment. [SoYoked] More »

Let's hope these next games are better than the Villanova-Duke UCLA* suckfest in Philly. Jay Bilas called that "men against boys", and while that seems a little like piling on, he'll hear no argument here. More »

When: Thursday, 12:30 p.m., EDT
Where: Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

BRIGHAM YOUNG COUGARS

1) Still a Cougar BYU Head Coach Dave Rose played his college ball at Houston as a co-captain of the 1983 Phi Slama Jama team (front row, third from right) featuring Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. NBA fans can also thank him for unleashing the elastic madness that was the pre-alcoholism Keon Clark, whom he coached at Dixie State. In his fourth season at BYU after inheriting a 9-21 team, Rose's teams have won at least a share of the regular season conference title three years in a row. More »

Their smack-talking YouTube videos are a surreal little slice of internet joy. More »

1. Battle of the Brazos. Texas A&M's rivalry with Baylor is called "The Battle of the Brazos," as the team's campuses sit 90 miles apart, near the Brazos River. The teams have been playing each other since 1914, but no year has been as eventful as this one. The fun started with a five-overtime thriller in College Station, with Baylor emerging with a 116-110 victory. The game wasn't shown on TV, but ESPN Classic later rebroadcast it using footage from A&M's in-arena cameras and More »

Male cheerleaders have their place in life, we suppose. Who else can we mock mercilessly and string up by the heels from flagpoles? I mean, who else who can't fight back? We laugh at their spiffy routines and tight-fitting sweater-and-slacks combinations, occasionally one becomes President, and life goes on. But damn it, never hand one of them a microphone; you're only asking for trouble (they aren't very smart). At a pep rally for the Alamo Bowl at the Riverwalk in San Antonio last night, a male Texas A&M cheerleader made a couple of unfortunate remarks about Penn State coach Joe Paterno, with predictable results.

1. Billy Gillispie Might Have Been A Good Hire. In their first eight seasons in the Big 12, the Aggies won 25 conference games and lost 103. For you math whizzes out there, that equates to 19.5 percent. In the past three years, they've won 31 conference games (64.6 percent). For a perspective of how far things have come in College Station, just two years ago the Aggies got so excited about making the NIT that they had T-shirts made for the occasion. I can't wait to see this year's NIT shirt design for UConn and Oklahoma State. More »

Robert Gates, as those of you who lower yourselves to pay attention to the world outside of sports might know, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the new Secretary of Defense, replacing Donald Rumsfeld, the Marty Mornhinweg of foreign policy. Gates was most recently president of Texas A&M University and has made no secret of his rabid love of Aggie football. More »

]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=204561&view=rss&microfeed=true One day thousands of years from now, when a superior alien intelligence stumbles upon the remains of our long-extinct civilization, we only pray that they don't come across this video. Just our luck it will be the only thing that survives, and we don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about us. We blame Burnt Orange Nation, which asks the musical question: "What kind of a douchebag puts his seat belt on for a freaking rap video?" That really pretty much sums up what you are about to see. Just know that we will never look at Texas A&M the same way again. Not that we thought about them much before. More »
