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...
The View from The Drum and Sundries . . .
If you have not already read the excellent posts from srr50 and Trips Right, then do so now, or I will give HenryJames your IP address which could lead to you being the subject of an ongoing federal investigation. I'll try not to rehash the above posters excellence and get straight to the...
Post Mortem: UTEP Miners @ Texas Longhorns
That felt good. Our first complete game in all phases and it's not the score that convinces me of that fact. Compared to last year's team, we're faster, quicker, have an identity on defense, and game changers on special teams. A focus on the offense's slow starts has obscured the fact that we're...
Grading the Defense: UTEP Miners @ Texas Longhorns
Wasn't that fun to watch? By far the most dominant defensive performance of the Mack Brown era, and one in which you would have to be a miserable prick ransomstoddard to find anything to criticize. Total domination from start to finish. First team? Check. Second team? Check. Third team? Seriously?...
A Longhorn's Guide on Miner Fan
Since I hail from the fair city of El Paso, I thought I'd take the liberty of enlightening my Longhorn brethren about the ways of the rare and curious creature that is Miner Fan. First up a little background on the school that was chartered as a Mining College and aptly named Texas Western. Apt...
Barking Bets: Week 4
I continue to fall farther and farther below the Mendoza line of betting (55%) and it's starting to get to me. After watching the Kentucky Wildcats choke away a cover and suffering two kick returns for TD's against me in different games during my gambling day, I proceeded to make my way to DKR...
Mexican Soccer Fan
Look, we all get it deep down at some level regardless of political affiliations. A country that falls into drug trafficking induced choas can't be all that great. Predictably, the nation that generally sucks at being a serious country, spawns people that suck at being soccer fans. We saw a hint...
Tim Floyd Resigns
According to the only media entity intent on seeing USC punished for using its powers for evil instead of good. Could Floyd be the sacrificial lamb that takes the onus off of the football program? Or, is Tim Floyd just pissed off because he's being thrown under the bus? "Unfortunately, I no...
The Heck do ya Mean?!
Reports have surfaced indicating that Texas is in negotiations with the University of Minnesota for a home and home and Barking Carnival's exclusive sources* indicate that talks may be coming to a head. For obvious reasons this appeals to me personally but it's also a continuation of a trend in...
UTEP Wrap Up
I had an opportunity to rewatch the game against UTEP on DVR and had a few thoughts to share, a couple of which challenged some assumptions I'd made when watching the game live from a sports bar in Anchorage, AK. The film doesn't lie though, so away we go... Offense: First, Greg Davis did just...
