Charles To Test Draft Waters

As I expected.. Jamal Charles is going to test out the draft.. With this years draft producing such running backs as Darren Mcfadden, and Steve Slaton.. Charles would most likey go late in the first round.. possibly early second round. Charles could face the same problem as former Longhorn back Selvin Young, when scouts are evaluating him.. While Charles will certainly not go undrafted like Selvin, the two do have one thing in common.. A fumbling problem!! Charles is only the second player to leave Mack early.. As we all know Vince left after his junior year also.. Yes Charles rushed for over 1500 yards this season.. but is he jumping into the draft to early?? Especially with the other running backs that will be available in this draft… Can’t say I wouldn’t love to see Charles sitting on the board when the Cowboys are on the clock.. Oh how one can dream.. To have a back that compliments Marion Barber in the backfield!

College Masot Reading

This article was sent to me a few minutes ago… Kidnapping our beloved Bevo is not something I would normally read about, but I did find this interesting.. I guess I should be glad that they didnt turn Bevo into some good ol’ Texas BBQ 😉

What Happened Mack?

Mack Brown, or as I like to refer to him as these days the “Jerry Lewis” of the Big 12.. Because lets face it.. Mack is leading a bunch of retards on the field each week.. Goes into Kyle field yesterday.. and watches his team go down by 10 very quickly! Why you ask? Well probably because of the fact that Texas played really really bad.. Turnovers.. the inability to stop A&M on 3rd down.. unnecessary penalties.. another less then stellar performance by Colt McCoy in a game that actually mattered? Take your pick.. Had it been anyone else other then A&M, this score would have been ugly! Not taking anything away from A&M, because they played one hell of a game.. but their offense is not the greatest in college football today.. so for them to run up 38 points was a pretty good days work for that team..

You know I really hate to keep throwing Colt under the bus.. I’m just not convinced, nor will I ever be that he is a leader on this team.. a field general if you will.. This Texas team was doomed from the beginning of the season.. In years past.. Texas would have blown lesser teams away by 40+ points, then the games like OU, Kansas, and A&M would be your nail bitters.. You know the kinda games all college football fans live for?  This year this Texas team has seemed to be just going thru the motions.. Never showing a dominating presence on the field.. They never once showed me that killer instinct.. The attitude where “Were going to jump on you, get you down, and keep our foots on your throats” I blame two things for this..

A. Mack is still trying to run the same offense that he had in play for Vince.. hold please *sending Mack and email to inform him of this obvious oversight on his part* Couple of key differences in Vince and Colt.. Vince could run.. Vince was comfortable operating out of the shotgun.. Colt.. is somewhat mobile.. does not have Vince esq speed, or the ability to make defenders miss him.. also Colt seems more comfortable under center.. Before I get jumped on, I will acknowledge the fact that Colt’s offensive line are mostly freshmen.. and Vince had a group in front of him that some pro football teams would have a hard time with.. I understand that..

B. Young football team.. Mack himself has even stated that this is probably the youngest team he has coached.. Will they get better??  Hopefully! Does Mack need to find some true leadership on this team? ABSOLUTELY!! Hopefully next season we won’t see 6 players end up in jail.. atleast a fan can hope..

Hey most would consider 9-3 a good season.. one certain team comes to mind *cough Notre Dame*.. but when you go into a season with alot of hype around your team.. your ranked in the top 10 in the  nation at the beginning of the season.. you have one of the best talent scouts/recruiters as your head coach.. Now factor in, you lost the BIGGEST game on your schedule.. (OU) and then you loose to one of your biggest rivals (A&M).. You have an average season.. you make an average bowl game appearance.. You in fact have the 9-3 Texas Longhorns.. I would say look at the bright side, we still have next season.. but we have seen what it is, to not have Limus Sweed as a weapon… and there is still the possibility Jamal Charles will not be back next season.. he could declare for the draft.. His smartest move would be to come back next season.. because lets face it.. this years first round is riddled with great runningbacks.. and Jamal Charles could find himself going late in the first round.. if he does not slide all the way to the second round.. or better yet.. He could be like Selvin Young.. and go undrafted! Highly unlikely he would go undrafted.. but you never know..

Longhorn Humor..

*Disclaimer.. I am a huge Longhorn fan.. but I am not real happy with my boys this season, and Mack’s inability to keep some players out of jail!

It’s been almost one (1) week without an arrest of a Longhorn football player!  Good Job Mack – way to keep those boys in line!!! (Note:  for those of you that don’t know, Austin ‘s Pride has  produced, within the last month, four (4) boys- w/ mugshots and prints. Two for armed robbery (w/ firearms), one for auto burglary &  DUI and another for DUI)
Despite, their days of ‘good behavior’ – I thought you might find these jokes timely!

1. What do you call a drug ring in Austin ?
A huddle.

2. There are four UT Longhorns in a car, who’s driving?
The police.

3. The UT Longhorns have adopted a new ‘Honor System’.
Yes your Honor, No your Honor.

4. The UT Longhorns knew they had to do something for their defense, so they hired a new defensive coordinator:
F. Lee Bailey.

5. How do the UT Longhorns spend their first week at fall practice?  
Studying their Miranda Rights.

6. What do you say to a Longhorn in a suit?
Will the defendant please rise?

7. If you see a Longhorn football player on a bike, why don’t you swerve to hit him?
It might be your bike!

8. Why do the Longhorns employ scouts ?
 To look out for cops, not to scout high school kids.

9. I heard a rumor that the Texas Department of Corrections plans build a new prison in Austin,Texas in order to allow Longhorns to walk to school.

10. What do you call it, when a Longhorn goes on vacation?
Time off for good behavior.

11. Why couldn’t the Longhorn get into a huddle on the football field?
It’s a parole violation to associate with known felons.

12. Obviously Coach Mack Brown is not paying his players if they have to resort to robbing people.

HOOK’EM!!!

I must say, last night was interesting.. went to our little country club to support Hockey Guru in a little singing competition.. and being the die hard Longhorn fan I am.. I REPRESENTED!!! Wore one of my Longhorn jerseys, and ball cap.. Well while were there.. a group came up to me and asked me if I would sing the Texas fight song with them.. Suuuuuuure.. why the hell not! So picture this if you will.. 11 or so people with 3 mics.. leading an entire bar in the Texas fight song!!! It brought a tear to my eye!!!

Chicken Little lives in Houston

So by now.. you all know the Longhorns got rolled up and smoked like a “roll your own cigarette” yesterday by KSU! This was waiting for me in my email this morning.. I had to share this, because I couldn’t stop laughing about the “Chicken Little” reference!!

Well, I tried. I tried to warn folks down here that Texas better worry about KSU, and not get caught up in looking ahead. Did they listen? Noooooo, they just wanted to talk about Oct.6th. Well, I now know how Chicken Little must have felt. Only this time the sky came tumbling down like the meteorite that gave scientist the theory about how the dinosaurs died. Kudos to Coach Prince and his staff. They have the real deal working up there, and I hope they win the rest of their games, and go to a BCS bowl. They deserve it. Now, if you will excuse me, I’m starting to feel the chill of an early fall. I’m headed for the bottle of tequila to warm my inner soul and lick my wounds.

Life’s mostly scars and souvenirsLajitas

Finally!

THANK YOU! You guys finally steam rolled a team you were supposed too..*insert golf clap here*  Give me some hope at some point this season, that you actually deserve to be ranked in the top 10!! Colt looked sharp going 20/29 339 yards and 3 touchdowns.. Colt and Sweed look like they are in-sync finally.. 560 yards of offense is always a good thing 😉  I really hope this game was what this team needed to get their mojo working!! If its working.. might not be such a beating come OU weekend!!
