    Huffines or Abbott?

    Huffines' brother (not Ray) is endorsing Abbott. That should tell you all you want to know. I know the oldest brother, Ray, personally. If he ran for office, I wouldn't just vote for him, I'd work for him. Quality man. But I won't vote for his brother for a lot of reasons. Abbott has done a...

    Lincoln Riley integrity poll

    I'm shocked by all this. I have a hunch why he did it, but it seemed so out of character. Riley is really really bright. He orchestrated this whole thing, including the LSU thing to divert OU's attention. But I think we'll come out of it all right. We are losing some major recruits. But if the...

    Big 12 Championship

    I wonder if they'll sell out the stadium. Maybe not.

    Texas Game

    Nueces, if I followed your instructions, could I get all of the Fox Sports channels and Fox News? If I had that stuff including the internet, I'd cut the cord ASAP.

    So how will a Champion be named?

    I don't believe the playoffs will change. The NCAA announced that all fall sports will not include a championship. But the NCAA does not oversee the football championships. What I heard last week, was that the only consideration will be whether or not the members from schools not participating...

    The Eyes of Texas

    Thomas Sowell got it right: "Have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity, where some people are held responsible for what happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they, themselves, are doing today?"

    Colin Kaepernick just stepped on his own peen

    - So did the guys who drove planes into the towers on 9-11-01. Having convictions isn't always a thing to admire.

    Jaquinden Jackson injury

    I covered the Plano-Longview games in '74 and '75. Plano won in Tyler in '74 which was Sammy Bickham's junior year 28-21. Just a tight game. But as was referenced earlier in the thread, Longview made the semi's in '75, with as good a high school defense as I'd ever seen. Their DL had Hosea...

    Jaquinden Jackson injury

    In 50 years plus watching, Earl is the best high school player I ever saw. By not a small margin. If you're old enough, you saw him against the Steelers. You can imagine how he looked against high school players. Still stunning that his high school coach didn't play him much at running back...

    Jaquinden Jackson injury

    Carter in 88 was very overrated. Every playoff game they played, was against a team who had to prepare for two teams, because the decision of who would be in the game was made in the courts. Carter was cheating, big time on grades. Failing players were given passing grades to be eligible to...

    This week's non TX games

    I'd suspect that the thrashing the Bears gave Texas, will keep OU from overlooking them. They may beat us because they are very good. But it won't be because we overlook them.

    This week's non TX games

    It's easier to fill their stadium. It only seats 45K. Even smaller than the old place. And students don't get much in a discount for the CCG if any. And they don't sell out all their home games, despite the low capacity in a beautiful stadium. They rely on UT and OU fans to fill it on game...

    This week's non TX games

    I'm not Baptist, but pretty sure they don't advocate anything related to purgatory. Of course I'm not sure how Baptist Baylor is. I do admire the job their HC has done. I'm honestly expecting a very close game this Saturday. Baylor's defense is solid. But this isn't the place to discuss that...

    This week's non TX games

    Are you too young to remember Texas vs Colorado in 2005? That mismatch makes the ACC CCG a pick em by comparison. I believe Texas won 70-3.

    Opinions welcomed

    I come here respectfully. This is a sensible, worthwhile post. Both teams we missing key guys. Texas was missing a lot more. There isn't anybody I know of in the country, including the top three or four, who could loses multiple players in the secondary, and compete well against a good...

    Big 12 now on ESPN+

    .95It's third tier rights. So Texas and OU already have theirs taken. They announced this last week, and our softball series in Lawrence already had two games on ESPN plus. This also includes games on the SEC Network plus. Some stuff shows up there, though less Longhorn competitions will. Last...

    Jalen Hurts--- it's as I feared

    Hard to play quarterback as a true freshman when you're not there for spring practice and you have two pretty quality guys with more experience, who are there.

    Jalen Hurts--- it's as I feared

    Hurts is just Ehlinger with a little more speed and an NC ring. Very similar skill set. He also might have a little better quarterback coach. But the number two quarterback is outplaying Hurts early in camp. The thing about Hurts and Murray, and for that matter, Ehlinger, is that their...

    Snyder,Ksu,is retiring at age 79

    Most likely. They had been to one minor bowl game ever before he arrived and for five decades had more one or no win seasons each decade than winning records. The most wins in any decade, 50s, 60s, 70s or 80s was 31. People being called a class act happens way too often this days. But Snyder...
