Texas football has hit such a lull lately that it almost feels undignified taking jabs at the Sooners’ rivals to the south. Of course, DeLoss Dodds and Mack Brown start flapping their gums, and it gets awfully hard to resist. These days, though, you don’t even need an OU fan to […]

Whoa, DeLoss, light a match (and forget about Notre Dame)
For me, clicking on a link lately that involves some combination of the terms “DeLoss Dodds” and “conference expansion” is akin to waiting in line for the bathroom at your favorite breakfast joint and seeing some crotchety geezer in a windbreaker come walking out with the sports section tucked under his arm. It […]

Texas and the Big 12: Gettin’ all game theory on ya
If you can’t tell, I love the conference realignment game from a purely theoretical standpoint. So, when I come upon an analysis that so expertly lays out the current tension in the Big 12 at the moment as this outstanding piece from our friend Peter Bean at Burnt Orange Nation, I feel compelled […]

The People’s Choice for Heisman: Ricky Dobbs
Who am I? As a quarterback, I had the most rushing touchdowns last season, 27, of any player who returns in 2010. (That just happens to a record for quarterbacks, by the way.) I didn’t throw the ball too often last year, with fewer than 10 pass attempts per game. […]
ESPN’S INTEREST IN THE BIG 12’S FUTURE
If the past five years have taught us anything about conference realignment, it’s that ESPN will almost always have the last word on who goes where. Given that it owns the entirety of the media rights of both the ACC and SEC and the Longhorn Network, the Worldwide Leader has […]
Thank God for the Golden Nugget
You probably know the Golden Nugget as the subject of an interminably boring Fox reality show starring the bizarro Maloofs. Maybe you and your crew remember that time your hungover buddy lost his lunch of 99 cent fried pickles over by the Nugget’s craps tables. Stand-up connoisseurs flock to Gordie Brown’s nightly show to witness […]
“Best of” Week: Bob Stoops’ Gutsiest Calls
(“Best of” Week continues with BH columnist Native State discussing of Bob Stoops’ cojones. Hit up Native State on Twitter: @NativeState.) We tend to view gambles in terms of outcomes. A questionable call that works is “gutsy.” One that doesn’t? Well, that’s just plain “questionable.” The truth is that gutsy calls […]
