Building Blocks
Big 12 notes FTC Some more to take out of the Texas win over Kansas: First of all, nobody saw that comeback coming. Not at KU, where Texas never had won, and KU had won 69 straight. Texas happened to go through a game like that exactly 52 weeks ago, up 10 at UConn and losing by 14. Of course,...
Tom Penders Wears Out Welcome. Billy Clyde Gillispie In?
One of the funnier things heard throughout the course of our 2nd half swoon was that we weren't better off then when we had Tom Penders, who was now the head coach at Houston. Hey, we both did go out in the first round. Tom Penders WAS the coach at Houston. Apparently, ole' Tommy wore out his...
Texas-El Paso Basketball On Now
One of the two or three best basketball teams in Texas, the UTEP Miners are on CBS now playing against Tom Pender's Houston Cougars. With John Calipari disciple Tony Barbee manning the opposing bench, the coaching mismatch in this game is stark, and eventhough UH is only down three as I type, so...

Garrido DUI video released
Good stuff. Garrido: This will end my career you know. Cop: What will end your career? Garrido: If I have a DUI. Cop: Why would you have a DWI? Garrido: Uh...no reason. Augie with the save! Now that attempted Jedi mind trick might work on stormtroopers and MILFs, but it's not going to work on...
Tom Penders: "It's All ESPN's Fault"
Last weekend Houston's Aubrey Coleman mistook Arizona's Chase Budinger's face for a throw rug. Coleman was kicked out of the contest, and then suspended by Conference USA for another game. His coach, Tom Pender, has come to his defense with a conspiracy theory. He says ESPN doctored the...
Tom Penders, Coogs, Step Into Controversy

NCAA Rules: Is Indianapolis Saying It's Okay To Steer Recruits In Return For Business Deals?
