Morning Coffee

*Jamie Newberg says McSnead can take Texas through the Big 12 and into the title game.

*Jamaal Charles is feeling confident after running a 10.1 on the track.

*Selvin Young has dropped fifteen pounds and is feeling explosive.

*Mack Brown comments on day two of fall practice. Among the highlights: he doesn't like practicing in shorts (they'll add pads today), he thinks the `front seven' is really the `front fourteen' (we're two deep everywhere), and the kicking game is starting to come around.

*Geoff Ketchum says this year's practices have a more work-like feel to them than last year's.

*Kirk Bohls on Jordan Shipley's long road back from injury.

*RBR notes that Texas checks in at #8 on the all-time football program list of the Tuscaloosa News Top 25 countdown.

*Stewart Mandel is smoking crack. South Carolina and Utah can win the BCS title this year... Texas cannot.
