Thanksgiving, indeed
Texas beats A&M in possibly their last meeting by a field goal: 27-25. Wouldn’t have been possible without good defensive play, special teams play, a trick play and two interceptions. Then QB Case McCoy (his white uniform grass-stained green from so many downings) burst for 25 yards to put them within FG range with two [...]

The worst Texas team ever
They have no offense worthy of the name. They can’t score points! The star running backs were healthy but they couldn’t do it. Neither quarterback could consistently connect with his receivers and, in any case, the offensive line didn’t give them time to pass. Only the kicker was consistent with two field goals, and, unbelievably, three [...]

Fozzy’s dilemma
If college football were honest (and the Penn State 10-year child-rape coverup is just one more proof that it isn’t), then injured Texas running back Fozzy Whittaker’s future wouldn’t be so questionable. As Cobb says: “College football is big business and the kids should get their share, but they don’t. When the NCAA jumps on [...]

Texas one-ups Pennsylvania
Not in college football. Not this year. But in personal responsibility and self-reliance. Not much of a surprise there, really, a Red state outdoing a Blue State in those categories. But a bit shocking when the issue is the Penn State child rape scandal.coverup. Seems the Penn State football coaches were simply obeying state law [...]

Better look out Missouri
The Texas-Texas Tech game this morning was supposed to be close. It wasn’t. Texas ran over Tech 52-20. Literally, since Texas was almost entirely about rushing. They didn’t punt once all game. This new Texas team of many freshmen starters is getting scarier by the week. Missouri (which Baylor beat today) is next on the [...]

Longhorns in the NFL
I knew there were a few of them out there: Colt, VY, Quan, Vasher, Jordan, etc. I had no idea there were forty-five. Thanks to the daily, we can all know them now.

Way to go, TCU
Texas Christian’s Horned Frogs beat the Wisconsin Badgers to win the Rose Bowl 21-19. As the daily’s Ced Golden says: “TCU is one of the big boys now. A sister of the poor no longer.”

Try as they may, A&M can’t change the Ags
One of my old girlfriends is an Aggie, one of the first, in fact, to co-educate the place, and I’ve always admired her pluck. D.G. Myers’s farewell to all that, in leaving teaching at Texas A&M, files includes this regret: “But what I will miss, far more than anything else, are the Aggies. They endure [...]

A camping we go
Me, Mr. B. and Wyatt (one of his Webelos II running buddies), go tonight for what will be my second-to-last camping trip before they move on into Boy Scouts, which does not encourage, let alone require, parents to go camping with them. So two more nights on the ground (albeit with an air mattress) and [...]

Cowboys 26, Longhorns 3
That’s at the half, and it’s been similarly spread between Oklahoma State and Texas in years past and the Horns came back to win, comfortably or close. Course those were years when they had accurate long passing and reliable receiving. Not much of either this year. And too many running plays called on 3rd and [...]
