Understanding this man...
Lest there be any confusion, my goal here is not to prevent the hatred of Greg Davis, I'm as frustrated as anyone with the product that has been on the field thus far in the season which is quickly looking like the worst offense of the Mack Brown era. I hardly need to remind anyone here that it’s...
As we head downhill towards Rice
That was the catchphrase used by Greg Davis in describing the progress of the offense in fall camp if you watch his practice report at Mack's site. Despite that cheesy and not clearly positive result (you want downhill to be the catchword for your program? Smells like Tiberius choosing a successor...
Texas Longhorn Pro Day - 3/31/10 - Earl Thomas Blows Up
Some early information from Longhorn pro day. Supposedly 79 scouts in attendance. CB Deon Beasley (5-foot-9 5/8, 180 pounds) ran 4.47 and 4.46 in the 40-yard dash. DT Lamarr Houston (6-2 7/8, 300) will keep his 40 times from the combine. LB Sergio Kindle (6-2 7/8, 249) will keep his 40 times from...
Stats n' Bloodies
Here are a few Saturday stats that go well with a Sunday morning Bloody Mary while you book flights to Pasadena, set fantasy football lineups, and pretend your female companion really doesn't care that you plan to watch another 12 hours of football today. February is for mending relationships and...
The Texas Longhorns Offense…
. . . is good, but hasn't reached it's potential yet. We are getting better every week, but we still have some bumps in the road. If you'd like to see what a bump free offense looks like, watch a Kansas game. They attack underneath coverage with multiple packages out of multiple formations. They...
Colt McCoy to Jordan Shipley at 40 MPH
This is probably the coolest thing you can do on a boat. Well, one of them anyway. Certainly the coolest thing you can do at over 40 mph on a boat. The throw is, of course, accurate, but the catch is unreal.
Practice: Day Eight
Texas only had a single practice today, and it was partially in the bubble because it's like 180 degrees in Austin right now. We begin as always with Mack Brown's blog. Mack's got a new stat that emphasizes the importance of depth. We talk about building depth – creating and maintaining a mental...
Decoding Day Four
ChrisApplewhite's post about mean aggressors incited some existential dilemmas that have me questioning everything today. Then I read the usa-mexico futbol thread again and everything became whole. Now I feel like Keanu Reeves in Little Buddha. Whoa. Thank Tebow college football is back. As...
Practice: Day Two
Because colons make it sound important. All information at this point is from MackBrown-TexasFootball.com, but I am presenting it here in an organized fashion thereby saving you at least 10 seconds of internet browsing. You're welcome. Mack Brown has a blog. Has Sailor Ripley already asked him to...
7 on 7 scrimmage report
Got a chance to watch the guys scrimmage Texas State last night inside the bubble in a 7 on 7 format, which is basically Sherrod or GG snapping the ball to Colt (or vice-versa) who has his choice of 4 WRs or a TE. These were my random notes with a few follow up thoughts: Colt to Malcolm Williams on...
