Good discussion over at Burnt Orange Nation on what, if anything, can be done to help the Longhorns.

I wouldn’t normally give ten cents for CBS News. But they caught my eye with a lengthy interview with the Longhorn that every Longhorn fan misses: VY. It’s only unfortunate that we are left with the impression that Vince can’t speak grammatical English. That’s never the case in print where it is common practice to clean up a speaker’s words. Nevertheless, it’s obvious he’s a paragon of self-confidence and esprit, something the current team certainly could use.

Zero U Sucks

Win, lose, or draw (and it’ll probably be a loss) it’s Oklahoma Hate Week. Might as well hate ’em since we’re not very likely to be able to beat ’em. That was so before Colt McCoy got his "mild concussion" from Kansas State. With untested John Chiles taking his place, the chances will not improve. So enjoy the hate. The game is likely to be ugly.

Top 25

Posted on October 1, 2007 | Comments Off on Top 25

It’s been a wild college football season so far, so it’s hard to be sure whether the new Top 25 rankings will hold for long. But they’ve taken the wind out of Texas’ sails, plunging the Longhorns from No. 7 to No. 19 in the new AP poll, and 16 in the new USA Today coaches’ poll.

Nebraska (25 in AP and 23 in USAT) looks to be the last ranked team Texas will play this season, after almost certainly losing to No. 10 Oklahoma this Saturday. So even if they beat Nebraska, it won’t raise their ranking much, assuming they’re still ranked after Oklahoma. I expect they won’t be.

Colt seems to be injured

Posted on September 29, 2007 | Comments Off on Colt seems to be injured

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.

Henry’s gangsta image

Posted on September 20, 2007 | Comments Off on Henry’s gangsta image

The daily’s Cedric Golden reveals that Longhorns reserve running back and special teams player James Henry’s arrest on two felonies was predictable from his glamorizing of the thug life on his MySpace page, which has been taken down. Ced says Coach Mack Brown needs to follow Penn State Coach Joe Paterno, whose troubled (and well-behaved) Nittany Lions are all cleaning out the stadium after home games this year because six of them were arrested in the preseason.

Another Longhorn arrested

Posted on September 18, 2007 | Comments Off on Another Longhorn arrested

Fortunately, James Henry is a not a starter. Unfortunately, his charges are two 3rd degree felonies. The fact that he is the sixth player arrested since last June may reveal a larger, coaching problem, as well.

UPDATE: Sounds bad for Henry, whose playing will be missed. He set up the go-ahead touchdown against TCU.
