Morning Coffee Returns For Seconds
As is annual tradition here at BON, we fulfill our Title IX obligations with a nod to the young ladies who inspire such fervent fandom among the burnt orange masses.

Selvin Young, undrafted by NFL teams this April, has not only made the Denver Broncos as a free agent signee, he's earned the #2 tailback job. Couldn't happen to a nicer kid. Congratulations to Selvin and best of luck.
Further pay-per-view programming information on Saturday's game is now available, per MB-TF. The channel lineup is as follows:

This was mentioned in the diaries, but bears repeating: Texas has added Ole Miss to the 2012 and 2013 football seasons. The '12 game will be in Oxford, with Ole Miss traveling to Austin in 2013. The Rebels haven't made much noise in the SEC of late, but this is still an addition I'm happy to see. At the very least, it's a road trip worth taking, to play a school with fans who care about the game. Good enough for me.
SBN's Texas A&M blogger is hosting a weekly pick 'em. I mention this because the first prize is a $200 bottle of liquor, of course.
Speaking of which, if you've not signed up yet for the BON weekly league, do so now. If you're already registered, don't forget to make your picks by 11:00 AM Saturday.

I know we are all excited about.....
.....our pom girls up there, but does anyone realize what a game at Ole Miss means. This is going to be battle of the hottest womaned colleges to ever grace the Earth.
I need new pants now.

Amen to that!
You need new pants? Hell, I need a new keyboard. They do care about their football in Oxford, and their smoking-hot women. Thanks for the k-nowledge. I love this blog!

Finally a game I can attend
Oxford is only a 3-4 hour drive from Birmingham - I'm there! The women are great, but it's more of a per-capita thing. You guys coming from Austin won't notice a big difference.
The Grove gets a lot of ESPN-ish hype, but it is the most unique "tailgate" experience in the land. If it's not just Africa hot, you'll enjoy Oxford. This is good scheduling: good name - bad team. We'll get credit for beating an SEC team, but we probably won't break much of a sweat doing it.

J'Marcus Webb
not sure where else to put this but I didn't think it needed its own diary. From a Q&A in the statesman:
"Webb, an offensive tackle with size-18 feet, was one of UT's top recruits out of the 2006 class. He played as a true freshman, and he's told people at UT that he'd like to spend a year at the junior college bettering his grades then return."

Looks like the speculation was accurate, but that's the first I've heard of the possibility that he might come back to Texas.

Potentially good news
I hate to see young people publicly embarrassed for poor academics. I hope he gets his academic foundation straight and gets to utilize his football gifts in Austin.

PB - you tired of Reggie Bush stories yet?
His answer surprised me. But then so did his prediction: "I think they're going to get hammered. You cannot penalize Oklahoma like they did and let this Reggie Bush thing go. The day of reckoning is coming."
Believe it when I see it.

One more concern for the 2007 season...
I have lurked on BON for quite some time but was impelled to finally contribute after taking a look at this post. There are many concerns as the season finally starts tomorrow after such a long hiatus...will Sweed and Shipley make it back in time for the important games, have GD and company found an answer for our subpar short yardage running game, is Jamal going to have the season we all hoped for last year, is Mack going to utilize the spread attack, are Twidle-dee and Twidle-dum going to shock us all, and the list goes on and on. The additional concern that I have is where are the pom girls going to line up now that the north endzone seating has gone up? There is not enough room behind the endzone and I doubt the orange and white cheerleading squads are going to be happy about sharing the sidelines. They could always find some room around the south end bleachers but the heat from Godzillatron may make those wonderful chaps a little uncomfortable. Then again, the only better thing than a Texas girl in chaps is a sweaty Texas girl in chaps. Has anyone heard where the will be re-located?

pom girls
considering my seats are in the south end zone, I vote for that area.

pom/cheer
What I have heard is:
The cheerleaders are going to be spread out along the sidelines. I'm under the impression there will be little groups of them in various places.
The cannon will stay in the North end, but be moved sort of under the tunnel.
I imagine the pom girls will find a spot somewhere either in the South end, or along the sidelines somewhere. In one of the Southern corners, perhaps.

Texas Pom
Pom will be located on the Northwest sideline where the all girls cheer squad were last year.
