Attrition Season is Here
Per the Texas SID, the following players will not play in 2011: Soph. TE Trey Graham Sr. special teamer Malcolm Williams Jr. WR Brock Fitzhenry Soph. LB Patrick Nkwopara In this case, attrition can be a good thing. The only loss here really is Malcolm's presence on special teams. He was getting...
Gene Chizik Says The NCAA Is Hurting Auburn's Recruiting
Gene Chizik was in Destin, FLA last month at an annual SEC meeting attended by all the men’s hoops coaches, football coaches and athletic directors from that conference, AKA the people who pay the freight. We used to frequent Destin on Spring Break trips. I've actually talked my way out of going...
7/12 Searing Hot Sundry: Is the NCAA Dumber than a 4th Grader?
My tires melted on the way home from work yesterday near MoPac & 38th St. It looked something like this. So I decided to get my ass here as soon as possible. Hotel Fairmont, Banff, Alberta. The only problem is it's in Canada, which has Canadians. STAT GEEKS, UNITE! Party of one, the name is...
7/5 Sundry: Freedom links
Hope everyone had a good 4th of July weekend and the PADS onset is brief and merciful. Two out of three definitions apply here. A while back we posted a story about UT taking physical possession of $1 billion in gold, about 5% of its $20 billion endowment. A lot of theories were posited about...
Somebody Thinks They Have Some Dirt On Texas
Only question is whether it's Will Lyles or Will Lyles and Charles Robinson. Charles Robinson stopped by the Geoff Ketchum radio show yesterday and it's worth a listen. There's a lot of stuff in here, some about about the putative victimization of Will, how loyal Will is to the kids, etc. even...

My various inboxes be filling up with news of Lance Zierlein's twitter stream which makes for some entertaining reading this late a.m. NCAA on the prowl: <!-- http://twitter.com/#!/LanceZierlein/status/86075671784333314 --> .bbpBox86075671784333314...
Tuesday Sundry: A salute to Roy Miller, Goodwin takes flight, Sooners scout the 2011 Longhorns
A salute to Roy Miller. This Wednesday [June 15], myself, Justin Blalock, Tim Crowder and Quan Cosby - we are all going to Ft. Hood to welcome some new soldiers into the Army and also raise awareness for the memorial that they are building. It was just great that Coach Brown could speak on behalf...
Greg Timmons to Transfer
Per BON. It looks like Timmons is taking his talents (consisting primarily of a smooth high-top fade) on to Grambling State. Buried deep on an underwhelming depth chart at WR, this move comes as no surprise. This gets us to 86 scholarship with more attrition likely to come. More importantly, it...
Texas Football And Institutional Control
Given the headlines that have plagued college football over the past couple of years, this piece submitted by a former Longhorn letterman who played under Mack Brown was particularly timely and relevant. He currently serves our country in the United States Navy and is the proud wearer of a...
Texas Legislature Putting Runners On The Run
Texas lawmakers are putting teeth into new laws focused on street agents and runners, making violations a potential felony offense. HERE IS SUB-ZERO. NOW. PLAIN ZERO! Needless to say, these measures are welcome, but until we see the law applied, it's not clear to me how far-reaching its impact...
