Texas Longhorns
1. Two Names To Know: Todd Wright And Dr. Randa Ryan. Assistant athletic director (and former swim coach) Ryan had the honor of getting academic failure/star forward PJ Tucker back on the eligible list — despite committing the most retarded shot clock violation in the history of ever with five secon...
Texas A&M Aggies
1. Texas A&M Has No Cheerleaders. The Aggie Dictionary will inform you that the school has no cheerleaders, but they do have a dance team, none of whom are particularly good looking. 2. The Coach Is Dull. Head coach Billy Gillispie has his own Web site, where you can learn such things as "Billy Gil...

Oh, If Only They Wore Cups In Basketball
If you're one of the lucky ones who opened your morning Bryan-College Station Eagle on Thursday and found a large penis staring back at you, well, congratulations. No, it wasn't one of the paper's newer promotions (find the wiener, win a Mexican cruise!), just a goof by an editor who didn't scruti...
Get Along, Little Aggie
On the heels of Texas A&M's upset of Texas last night for its biggest win of the year, the Texas bloggers are getting revenge....
Setting The Vince Young Record Straight
All the buzz yesterday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis — because when something's buzzing in Indianapolis, it can be heard everywhere — involved a supposed score of "6" by Texas quarterback Vince Young on his Wonderlic test. (To wit, realizing that the pen they give is to be written with, and n...
If Your Wonderlic Score Is Lower Than Your Jersey Number...
...then it's unfortunate that you're wearing #10. It's being reported by profootballtalk.com that Vince Young scored a six on the Wonderlic test. That's six. S-i-x. 6....
You Shouldn't Taunt a Longhorn, Probably
On Wednesday, we brought you the delicious, syrupy-sweet dreams of Texas Longhorns football draft prospect Michael Huff. Today, the news is a little more serious and heated. CBS SportsLine has released its top 10 NFL quarterback prospects, and let us just say that Longhorns fans are not pleased. V...
ESPN-Sponsored Texas Tech Recruiting Materials
As you may know if you've watched ESPN at any point over the last few weeks, tonight debuts "Knight School," a six-episode reality show detailing the quest of sixteen young men to be chosen as a walk-on to the Texas Tech basketball team....
Texas Hangs On Against Villanova
In maybe the biggest contrast of styles that's even possible between two teams in the Top 20, Texas held on to beat Villanova in an excellent game, 58-55. This one was much better for the Longhorns than the last time they played a top-5 team on CBS....
Anyone See Glory Road?
I considered going to check it out, but I was a little hesitant. Nothing against Jerry Bruckheimer, but I don't feel like giving up $8 to see him tackle any serious issues of culture, because I doubt it's going anywhere beyond the standard Hollywood "let's just make sure we all feel warm and fuzzy...
Today On The College Hardwood...
• #3 Villanova @ #9 Texas. The speed and skill of Villanova's four-guard line-up against the giant cornfed Texans that roam the paint in Austin....
Vince Young's NFL Ready Throwing Motion
We were sent this a while ago, and it's possible you've already seen it, but we couldn't figure out how to post animated GIFs back then, mainly because we're morons....
Blogdome: Rose Bowl Edition
What they're saying on the Texas and USC blogs, the morning after ... • Burnt Orange Nation. "We're Number One! I embraced total strangers tonight the way I do my own family, and I came very close to crying tears of joy." • IndieWIRE SXSW. "Horns Win! The city of Austin is alive tonight." • Longho...
Rose Bowl: The Morning After
All right, all right, it's the morning after, and we still can't quite believe that game last night. Some more thoughts as we recover:...

We just watched one of the most incredible games we've ever seen, and we certainly hope you did too....
National "Title" Pants Party: Longhorns Vs. Trojans
It so rarely happens that even though we obviously need a playoff, it's pretty much impossible not to get excited about tonight's Rose Bowl BCS "title" game between Southern California and Texas. (We still hope the first quarter goes like this.) Hell, it's so exciting even the President was consi...
Blogdom's Best: Hating The Texas Longhorns
Perhaps nothing says hatred like college athletics. We have witnessed the body painting, we have seen the flaming objects hurled onto the court. Yes, we have seen the pants waving from atop the flag pole. And today, we salute those pants. We believe that college athletics were invented to give stu...
How To Simulate Reggie Bush
Apparently, the Texas Longhorns are having a difficult time finding someone to simulate Reggie Bush on the scout team during practices....
The Afternoon In College Hoops...
• #14 UCLA 68, Michigan 61. Jordan Farmar and Arron Afflalo both went over 20 for the Bruins, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, enemy of people who sew last names onto uniforms everywhere, had 9 rebounds off the bench. • Tennessee is currently throttling #7 Texas. I know it's only my second week doing...
