Texas Football 2011 Preseason Position by Position: Wide Receiver
With Mike Davis serving as a reliable centerpiece, this group's ultimate production rests on what we get from a puzzling senior, a precocious freshman, and a talented unproven sophomore; supported by a solid cast of role players. Let's dive in: Mike Davis (6-1, 190) is the best receiver on the...
Texas on the cutting edge
I was in the Tavern the other night, just hanging out with a good friend, and it turned out to have been the chosen location for an Alabama NIT basketball game viewing. I wasn't totally aware of my surroundings as I mentioned to the friend the recent reports about dirty SEC recruiting and generally...
This Interview Is Over, Get To Steppin'
Good glimpse into the team dynamic here courtesy of Texassports.com. Garrett Gilbert, the next Michael Vick. Being QB at UT could lend itself easily to being a jerk. Gilbert is the polar opposite. Malcolm Williams, featuring the world's worst dance move (done much more expertly by Morris Day in...

Texas Football Practice Report Day One: What Scipio Missed While Scoping Out Sweaty Babes
Nice rundown on Wednesday's open practice here already by Scipio. And now that I've pointed out to him who all the players are and what positions they play, tomorrow's recap should only get better. He tends to focus on the defense whereas I watched the guys who actually make plays, score points,...
Gridiron Kickoff: Slightly Abridged Transcript
And by slightly abridged transcript I mean I'll loosely paraphrase the few notable moments so that you can read entirely too much into what may or may not have been said. Nevermind how we got a copy of the video; FanTake is basically Fight Club with an extensive secret network of roadies, valet...
