I Am a Chris Lofton Fan

Mon, 12 May 2008 12:59:53 +1900

I really can't stand Tennessee, don't really like Bruce Pearl, and really didn't think too highly of Chris Lofton. Until now. Read this ESPN article. In an age when too many athletes seek the spotlight when they don't deserve it, make unnecessary excuses, or blame others for their own failures, this is a very refreshing story. Some of you might find it silly that Lofton ...

When Athletics Departments Go Too Far

Mon, 12 May 2008 12:41:30 +1900

One month ago, the Daily Texan reported that John Chiles was a 'suspect' in an incident on MLK Boulevard. We noted the paper's story here , but withheld comment because details were so hazy. The Austin Police Department subsequently dropped the investigation. Now, who, if anybody, is the bad guy here? There are only two potentially bad actors in this story: the person who filed the ...

Sorry. Hold on. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok. I’m done. I just wanted to sa-. Oops. Hold on. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok. Seriously. I’m done. Ryan Perrilloux gave a verbal commitment to Texas in 2005. With a “commitment” from the #1 QB in that class, Texas shut down it’s QB recruitment for the year. There were always whispers he wasn’t 100% sure he wanted ...

Sports blogs and the comments within: perhaps not wholly responsible for society's intellectual demise after all. From this , we get the following exchange in the comment section: Billyzane: Public opinion is consensus when a majority of people agree with you and the ill-informed views of a nation of rubes when they don’t agree with you. We have a proud tradition in this ...

Stuff Burnt Orange People Like

Mon, 5 May 2008 15:23:37 +1900

First off, my sincere thanks to those of you who chimed in with suggestions for an off-season posting theme. And while the Federalist Papers and Jessica Alba are both worthy nominees, I feel quite confident that the best option is to steal from other bloggers with a BON version of “Stuff (blank) People Like.” Hey, I used to think I was capable of original thought and ...

The Scoring Zone Offense: 2007 Season Review

I’m back. Finally. Between closing a deal at work to writing/editing my chapter in the Eyes of Texas 2008 to looking for and moving into a new apartment (who was it that said that real estate in New York City is less a business than a blood sport?), I’ve been too busy to do much of anything around here other than post snarky comments. I’m never so busy as to keep me from ...

Mon, 5 May 2008 02:45:33 +1900

Texas' starting pitchers threw 23.1 innings, giving up a total of 3 earned runs, and the Horns took 2 of 3 from Baylor in a critical series that may be a sign that things are looking up. Texas won Friday 12-1 and Sunday 2-0 , but dropped Saturday's game in a closer-than-the-score-would-indicate 6-1 game.

Distractions From Property Law: BCS Banter

Thu, 1 May 2008 09:29:36 +1900

What to do when your sanity requires a break from the drudgery that is property law? Browse BCS history, that's what. As noted in a FanPost , the conference commissioners met this week to discuss the possibility of playoffs and voted - perhaps predictably - to continue with the current BCS format, at least through 2014. As ESPN.com quickly found out, the commissioners are not exactly in ...

So Cosgrove Was Just A Figurehead?

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 22:29:00 +1900

No wonder he didn't fire him. He apparently didn't have a job to be fired from. Husker Mike uncovers a gem from Matt Hayes at the Sporting News. According to him, this is how bad things had gotten in Lincoln:"Compared with where the process was last fall in Lincoln, the Huskers have made bigger strides than any team this spring. How bad was the dysfunction? Consider this anecdote: Former
