I live in Texas, so I am surrounded by Texas fans. To be honest, in the great UT-A&M debate, I tend to side with A&M because I am related to a few a Aggies and I sort of admire their completely unreasonable fanaticism. But I don't dislike the Horns.
I like ...
Stoking the Fire
andthevalleyshook.com 6/23/2009 —
As persona non grata in the Texas blogosphere right now, I should take last night's classic as a chance to backtrack, give Texas credit, and back down from my "LSU is an unstoppable juggernaut" meme. But I'd rather throw fuel on the ...
Wait 'Til Next Year
burntorangenation.com 6/26/2009 — It's a refrain more worthy of a Chicago Cubs fan than a Longhorn baseball fan. As Augie Garrido says repeatedly, Omaha is the minimum expectation for his baseball team. His statements explain the massive disappointment felt by fans after Wednesday's loss to LSU in the CWS Finals, even though ...
Ugly Win > Pretty Loss
burntorangenation.com 6/15/2009 — We won't lie: we feel a little bit dirty right now. Having both grown up within two hours of Hattiesburg (one of us in Mississippi and one in Louisiana), it was tough for us to watch the Cinderella Golden Eagles choke away their first CWS game in school history last night. Don't misunderstand ...
June 7 Summer Camp News and Notes
burntorangenation.com 6/8/2009 — In an amazing turn of events, the Longhorns managed to retain all 19 commitments over the weekend. A little bit of sarcasm there, but given the two recent defections, right now it's more about keeping everyone than gaining new commitments, especially considering the fact that most of the ...
Texas Basketball Elite Camp
burntorangenation.com 6/19/2009 — The two football camps aren't the only major events happening at the University of Texas in June. The Texas Elite Camp started on Thursday and will continue on Friday as Rick Barnes and staff host some of the top prospects in the country in the 2010, 2011, and 2012 classes, and possibly even a ...
Afternoon Brewsky Goes to Summer Camp
burntorangenation.com 6/5/2009 — Or, it's hard to de-commit from Texas at a Texas camp. Rejoice, Longhorn fans -- the worst thing that can happen at the Texas camp on Sunday is that a couple of 2010 targets don't show up. While that certainly would be disappointing, especially in the cases of Darius White, Lache Seastrunk, ...
Morning Coffee Is Still Camping
burntorangenation.com 6/11/2009 — Darius White speaks. Life is not particularly simple these days for Darius White. No, not for someone who receives constant phone calls, text messages, emails, all from people wanting to know his latest favorite, or his latest list, or latest trips planned, or if he's going to be a package ...
Wait, does Texas need more from its running game?
rivals.yahoo.com 7/3/2009 —
Everybody loves Texas this summer, for obvious reasons -- namely, it's likely to take 35 points to beat the Longhorns, and the only two teams that hit that mark on them last season finished first and third nationally in scoring offense. (And it ...
Putting 2009 Texas Baseball In Perspective
burntorangenation.com 6/25/2009 — AO is on his honeymoon so to sum up the '09 season I (JA) will be writing in the first person singular. I know, it's revolutionary. We all know how the season ended (6-7, 5-1, 11-4), so I figured I'd go big picture with this one.
As a New Orleanian, the fall of 2005 was a tough time for me. ...
LSU 11 - Texas 5: National Champions!
andthevalleyshook.com 6/25/2009 — Anthony Ranaudo certainly didn't get the great outing we hoped for, but he fought through 5 1/3 innings, giving up 8 hits and 5 walks but only 4 runs, and another outstanding bullpen outing shut the Longhorns down from there.
Offensively, the ...

Bleacher Report - College Football 6/21/2009
Over the next couple of months, I am going to try and preview roughly 20 teams for the upcoming college football season. Because of time constraints and the fact that there are so many teams in CFB, I simply can’t do them all, so I will pick 20 ...

Bleacher Report - College Football 6/23/2009
As I was rolling around in my bed last night, I was trying to think of an interesting topic to write about for Bleacher Report.
I wanted to write about College Football, and I wanted a list of some sort.
You should rank all 120 teams, Sean.
