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 still wasn't enough to put Oklahoma over 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.

Talent vs. Magic
andthevalleyshook.com 6/22/2009 — 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 ...
Championship Series Q&A With Burnt Orange Nation
andthevalleyshook.com 6/22/2009 — When it was looking like Texas and LSU would meet for the championship, the guys from Burnt Orange Nation contacted me about having some cross-pollination on the blogs. A couple of their guys do most of the baseball coverage over there, and they sent ...
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 ...
Why Texas Bunts
burntorangenation.com 6/10/2009 — Bunting is like Greg Davis, everybody has a (mostly negative) opinion.

We ...
Do You Believe In Magic?
burntorangenation.com 6/17/2009 — You can call it magic. The fickle Baseball Gods smiling benevolently down upon the Longhorns. Maybe it's just pure moxie. Perhaps simple, blind luck.

- There is unfinished business in Austin. For lack of a better term, everyone this side of Texas can sense it. For those who thought Utah got hosed last season, what about Texas. Here’s a squad that had only one loss and are stuck ...
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 ...
