Preparation, understanding matches talent, intensity of Texas DT Malcom Brown

"He's fun to watch, but that's the way he practices. He takes it from practice to the game, and the same thing happens at practice. He's a student -- he's one of those guys that listens. Even during the game he'll come back and say, 'Hey, listen, when that guy checks, this is what it is, this is the run play it is. Or when he checks this, this is a pass play.' He's always talking and communicating on the sideline. He works, and that's the respect that the players give him because he works so hard."

-- Texas head coach Charlie Strong on his star junior defensive tackle Malcom Brown.

Charlie Strong makes big promise to ATH DeAndre McNeal

"I've (visited Texas) two times. Coach Strong -- I talked to him on Wednesday. He told me on the first play of the game when they play Notre Dame next year, he said he's going to dump me the ball. He's saying they don't want to redshirt people and want me on the field ASAP and become a huge playmaker for the program. That's something I'm looking forward to. I want to get on the field as quick as I can."

Texas WR commit John Burt torn between Horns, Tigers

"Really the only two programs I still have interest in are Auburn and Texas, and I’m trying to kind of decide if I want to stay committed to Texas or commit to Auburn. It’s kind of hard to say which way I’m leaning. It kind of moves around a little bit. But really I’m just kind of flip-flopping and weighing out all of the options."

ESPN on the current status of Burt's recruitment. He visited Auburn recently and then Texas last weekend, but the trip didn't firm up his pledge and 247Sports now considers him a "soft" commit.

Horns and Wolverines to meet again?

Making my way back to DKR for KState. Are there places to park where I can pay a few bucks without having to purchase a parking pass for on of the lots?

Sundays with Bill, Escape from Eskimo Joe's Edition A win is a win. Am I right? Very simply, Texas hasn't won these type of games in the past 2 years. I'll take a road win against a ranked conference opponent every day of the week. David Ash did his best Elway. D.J. Monroe continues to play like the hungriest senior in recent memory. Magic Mike bounced back. Jaxon Shipley showed up to catch 3 TDs. Johnathan Gray came of age. Bergeron closes in a clutch situation. Now there's the defense. I saw some flashes, but the defensive frustration continues. Texas should get Moore back for WVU. Fingers crossed on Hicks and Fera. It's put or shut up time for Manny Diaz. Adjustments and personnel changes must be made. The WVU game looms large. Texas will use the coming weekend as to showcase The University to uncommitted targets. Devon Allen is off the board. Things remain static with Treadwell. What is Texas' 2013 plan at WR? Billings moves closer to a decision. Benenoch schedules an official visit. "You've got to think lucky. If you fall into a mudhole, check your back pocket - you might have caught a fish." - DKR Fire away citizens.

Texas used to be, but I’m not too sure anymore. I went to the Texas A&M-Florida game and the atmosphere was really good. Now I just want to take these visits to games and see how it is at each school – see how the atmosphere is."
