Texas-Iowa State Post Mortem: Offense
Iowa State's NG is named Stephen Ruempolhamer. Their TE is named Kurt Hammerschmidt. Sometime in the late 1st quarter, I started singing: Ste-phen Ruempolhamer Kurt Hammerschmidtttttt, his name is my name too! over and over in my head and it hasn't stopped since. Apologies to John Jenkins...
Mondays In the Humidor: The Cigar on The Ash Package and More
I suspect Saturday night’s Texas vs. Rice happenings made the Big Cigar’s evening rather satisfying. Just after David Ash and Jaxon Shipley took back-to-back Wildcat snaps I pictured El Cohiba Grande somewhere high up in the sky from his perch in a plush DKR box with his custom Lucchese’s...
Dream Wagon: Drivers and Horses
Priority one for Mack this fall is obviously determining the Quarterback to hold the reins for the dream wagon. I have an opinion or two on that front but it's important to note that the horses that will drag the wagon to 8 wins and Top 25 relevance will not include a QB this year unless we get...
Friday Scrimmage Report From the Asset
The scrimmage tonight was supposed to be the definitive battle for the starting quarterback position. The Asset tells us it wasn’t. Not to say the QB play was poor, it was actually pretty good, but there wasn’t enough separation in the Asset’s opinion to turn the reins over to Garrett Gilbert...
Monday Practice Report From the Asset: The Offense
Monday’s practice report is going to have to be a tad vaguer than the scrimmage report. In an effort to bring you more detail in Saturday's scrimmage report, the Asset and I may have out-kicked our coverage as there was another Staff warning to STFU or lose your scholarship, job, etc. With that...
Practice Report Number Five From the Asset
First let’s get the bad news out of the way. Evidently the Staff wasn’t pleased with BarkingCarnival/Recruitocosm posting information on specific plays along with specific information on practices. Our sources caught heat today, and to a man said they must be less specific. For critical...
First Glimpse at the 2011 Longhorns
Practice photos are up on Mack's site. Time to fire up the Dreamwagon as irrational hopes for 2011 take hostage of your mind less than 30 days from kickoff. This doesn't look like an 8-4 team! A few observations: Greg Daniels has put on some good weight and finally looks like a DT. Mike Davis has...
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...
Coming back to the middle
Listening to Ari Tempkin of all people, defender of Greg Davis, I overheard a fascinating point and stat about our 2010 Texas Longhorn football team that offered some intense insight into our horrifyingly bad offense. Tempkin claimed that Texas' tight ends last season accounted for 6 catches. 6....
Thoughts on Texas Longhorns Spring Game
Pro Insipiente: I'm a fan of apologetics with CS Lewis and GK Chesterton numbering amongst my favorite writers, and with that in mind I'd like to make an Apologia for my continued faith in Garrett Gilbert. I left the spring game wondering if perhaps Case McCoy gave the team a better chance to win...
