Kevin Durant Tribute: First Half at Kansas
The video's not the highest quality, but it suffices to bring back the memories of Durant's epic first half at Kansas on March 3, 2007. Behind KD's 25 points on 10-14 shooting, the Longhorns scored 51 first half points, including a stretch during which they made 14 straight field goals. The game...
Tribute Day: #35 Kevin Durant
At halftime of tonight's basketball game against Texas Tech, the University of Texas will retire the #35 jersey of Kevin Durant. Before the official ceremony tonight, we'll be honoring KD in our own way here at BON, because... well, because we were really, really big fans of the kid. I'm starting...
Retire Vince Young's Jersey
Caradoc first asked and 54b laid out many of the relevant questions: should Kevin Durant's #35 jersey be retired?Honestly, though, from my perspective this one's an easy one. Retire Durant's jersey. Texas has always retired the jersey of POY winners, and shouldn't stop now.The relevant question has...

Morning Coffee Storms Best Buy
Kevin Durant will be featured on the cover of EA March Madness 2008, in the process becoming the first-ever second Longhorn (Ricky Williams, NCAA Football 2000) and second-youngest athlete (Freddy Adu, 16) to grace the cover of an EA video game.If you're scoring at home, that's two Longhorns (Vince...
Morning Coffee Is Missing KD Again
I've noted on a couple occasions that I don't care much whether Kevin Durant gets drafted first or second. I suspect that's true for a lot of us, if only because: KD was only around for one year, he didn't go on a magical postseason run, and he's gonna be drafted first to the Blazers or second to...
