THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Texas QB Colt McCoy, leading a 51-20 thumping of Kansas last night, became the winningest quarterback in college football history. The Horns will play Nebraska for the Big Twelve title. And, almost certainly, play the winner of the SEC title for the National Championship. Quite a night.

Best part of this blowout was watching the rejuvenated Tuscola Kid’s almost flawless passing and occasional good running against a 4-2 team while Bama almost lost to 3-3 Tennessee and Florida struggled with 3-4 Mississippi State. I’m sure the BCS computers won’t notice, however. KVET FM’s good announcing made the Texas game, as always. Craig [...]

Should be quite a game this morning. Just hope the Longhorns don’t start off slow like they’ve done a couple of times this year. Dig a hole deep enough and they might not get out of it. Especially with WR Ryan Broyles back in the Zero U lineup. Tickled to learn from the daily that [...]

Not the prettiest Texas win I ever saw, but it will have to do. Tech, as always, was a tough customer. The Leach bomber squadron’s new QB Taylor Potts is almost as good as Graham Harrell was last year. Fortunately for Texas, Potts does not have WR Michael Crabtree. Colt looked pretty shaky for most [...]

I was truly sorry to see Bradford injured but I was cautiously delighted to see the Sooners lose to BYU. Even before their star QB took his shoulder injury they looked to be struggling. And the main reason he was hit hard enough to be injured was that his offensive line wasn’t protecting him as [...]

After a "mild concussion" on Saturday, Colt McCoy announces two days later that he will play against Oklahoma this weekend. Believe I’ve read it takes a week to get over even a "mild concussion," which I keep putting in quotes because that’s what we’re told the team doctors called the injury that had McCoy reportedly [...]

Not too surprising, considering how his offensive line was unable to protect him for most of the game. But it could also be that he’s just not tough enough to play college football. UPDATE: Indeed, he suffered a "mild concussion," and may not play next week.
