Wooo hoo hooooo! Texas wins the Holiday Bowl! You can read that one of two ways, and each is applicable here. No, it ain't winning the Rose Bowl. But yes, that was a damn fun win for this team and its fans. I'm leaving the official Trip Diary to 54b and sticking mostly to football thoughts, but let me just say that we had a damn great time in San Diego. Special thanks go to the folks who run ...

It appears there may have been some college football games on for the past couple days or whatever, but it looks like there might finally be some interesting ones soon! Getting excited!?

Even this bumbling by the Texas sideline, courtesy of Chris Jessie, stepson of Longhorns coach Mack Brown, didn’t even come close to costing Texas the game — they were already up on Arizona State by a couple scores and wound up destroying the Sun Devils (deceptive score, really, 52-34). If you only get 22 yards rushing on a questionable Big 12 defense, you’re not going ...Texas wins the Holiday Bowl

I’m not sure what was more bizarre in the Holiday Bowl, the predictions I made (ASU was going to win and it wouldn’t be a big time scoring game) or what Mack Brown’s stepson did during the game. I have to say the stepson was more bizarre but still, my picks are really bad so far (3-6). What happened with Chris Jessie is pretty simple, on a fumble that was rolling out towards ...The Real Chris Jessie

The real story about last night’s Holiday Bowl wasn’t the easy win by Texas (although it sure brought any ASU sackriders down to earth.) It was the strange play that, for a short time, gave Arizona State tons of momentum. A member of Texas’ football operations staff, later identified as Chris Jessie, allegedly touched a ball squirming towards the Longhorns sidelines. The ...Texas Touching and Replay Review
Posted 12/28/2007 on East Coast Bias
As most everyone is aware by now, Texas assistant and Mack Brown stepson Chris Jessie appears to have touched a live fumble in last night's Holiday Bowl against Arizona State. The penalty resulted in a dead ball and a half-the-distance-to-the-goal penalty, allowing Arizona State to score and get back to 21-7. Watch the replay below. While it certainly appears likely that Jessie touched the ...Fumble! Everybody On It, Including Stepsons [Holiday Bowl]
Posted 12/28/2007 on Deadspin
By now, you've probably heard about Chris Jessie, Mack Brown's stepson who stupidly grabbed a loose fumble last night during Texas' thumping of Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl. It's pretty entertaining. Our favorite part of the incident is that Jessie, with a straight face, seemed to think that reporters should be talking more about the otherwise dull bowl game than his ridiculous ...On Those Frauds at Arizona State

We’re too angry with last night’s Holiday Bowl to care about it. So we’ll make this brief: Arizona State, a team we called a fraud all season long (you adamantly disagreed all season long) got worked by a mediocre Texas team for two reasons: 1) It could not protect its QB and 2) It could not run the football. You know how QBs always buy the offensive lineman nice presents ...Video: Strange scenes from the Holiday Bowl

The Holiday Bowl could be the first real bowl game of the season for some. Two teams from BCS conferences, both ranked in the top 25 at the end of the season. With a game that has Arizona State (10-2) squaring off against Texas (9-3) this could once again be a great game to watch tonight.
