Epilogue, Texas Longhorn Football 2010
Right after the Kansas State Wildcats ran over the Longhorns 39 - 14 in week 9, and with three games left to play, I blogged that the beloved Texas Longhorns would have a 7 loss season, losing both to OSU and A&M, and, of course, avoiding a loss with Florida Atlantic. The Oklahoma State Cowboys did whip up on the Longhorns 33 - 16 in week 10, which was our 6th loss, and our 4th Home game loss...

Texas Longhorns & The Garrett Gilbert Syndrome
First of all, let me say that it is very refreshing to have the fans, press, and bloggers start to calm down about this years losing trend. Losing does not come easy to the Longhorn brethren, and the trend of losses this season has brought down seemingly the fury of Hell itself. Orange blood is winning blood, but we do have a newly re-organized team, and plenty of mistakes were made to facilitate...

Week 8, What's Up With The Longhorns?
This Saturday, Baylor is coming to Austin with a stronger passing game than Texas, but the Texas defense, if they will come out and play instead of whining, has the ability of a number 2 defense, which should effectively shut down Baylor’s passing game. Which leaves the game up to the Texas Offensive. Oh No! What will the Texas Offensive do, or be able to do. I say the game is up in the...

Texas Longhorns 12 - UCLA 34, What Really Happened
Whomever you are, your days are numbered. We are looking for you. Someone, some poor misguided soul, somehow, was able to get past the security at the Longhorn’s Memorial Stadium on Saturday, September 25, 2010, and on the day of the planned game against UCLA. This person smuggled into our sacred grounds, our hallowed astro-turf, a Big Ol’ can of Whup-Ass. That is strictly against...

Texas Longhorns Football, Week 3 Analysis
Congratulations, Texas, on the 24 – 14 victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Week 3. A win is a win, and whatever else may be said about the performance, the scoreboard is the ultimate authority. Astute and compulsive Texas Longhorn fans have been watching during the two season opening games, and then, especially, during the Texas Tech game, in an effort to get a deeper feel for just exactly...
2010 Texas Longhorns. On The Run, Again?
If you’re an orange blooded Texas Longhorn football devotee like me, then you probably started reading the blogs, speculation, and commentary about three weeks before the season opening game against Rice University, September 4, 2010. Most of the writings validated what us close followers already knew. I didn’t see anything in the preseason blogs that surprised me. The question of...

A List Of Priorities For The 2009 Holiday Season
1. Make sure that your house or apartment is clean, tidy, and warm and cozy for the family and guests. If you can have it professionally cleaned by minimum wage laborers, all the better. 2. For your particular Religion of Choice, attend to the suggested rituals for the Season. Any devotion and time you can give toward honoring the Religious leaders of thousands of years ago, will be well spent....
Texas Longhorns Win Big 12 Championship, I Think
The Texas Longhorns took the Big 12 Title Saturday night with a hair raising 13 - 12 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. This Longhorn fan came away from the game thrilled, but a little bewildered. I’m thrilled the Longhorns won the game and a Big 12 Championship. I’m also pleased beyond words the Longhorns are going to Pasadena on December 7th to play in the National Championship...

It's a Wrap for 12-0 Texas Longhorns, UT 49, A&M...
The beloved Texas Longhorns, now 12 - 0, wrapped up their final regularly scheduled game of the season Thanksgiving evening with a 49 - 39 win over the Texas A&M Aggies, at Kyle Field, College Station, Texas. The Texas A&M Aggies played heroically and valiantly Thanksgiving evening, but the University of Texas Longhorns just flat outscored them. For the Longhorns, this game was somewhat of...
Feeling the Love For Burnt Orange, Texas 41 - OSU...
No tricks, but the Halloween crowd in Austin, Texas, did get a special treat on Saturday night, when the University of Texas main tower was awash with Burnt Orange lighting. What a Halloween treat, an almost full moon, an orange lit tower, and a Texas style stompin’ 41 to 14 against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater. It’s a Texas tradition to light the main tower in burnt...

Number 2 Texas Longhorns Shut Down Red Raiders
What I love about college football is that it is just not as predictable as professional football. In college football, anything can happen, and often does. The Longhorns won their third game of the season, and their first Big 12 match-up, by 10 points, 34 - 24, which sounds like a good margin for a win, but I say the Longhorns came closer to losing this game than many care to think about. It...

Texas Longhorns Still #2, Come On Red Raiders ..
Longhorn fans across the known Universe will have to admit it — the first quarter of Texas versus Wyoming was pretty sloppy. Wyoming came out with an attitude bigger than Dallas, and a case of Team Spirit never before seen in the history of Wyoming. Indeed, the Longhorns are the highest rated college team to ever play in the state of Wyoming, and the Wyoming fans were hyped, all 30,000 of...

Texas Longhorns hold onto #2 Spot After Season...
After the flurry of season opening college football games, the beloved University of Texas Longhorns held the number 2 ranking given to them several weeks ago in the AP top 25 poll. The opening season 59 - 20 win against University of Louisiana-Monroe marks the overall 833rd all time victory in college football for the UT Longhorns. They are the second winningest team in the history of college...

On The Mountain
I have been to the mountain top. No one there is wearing crosses. No one is building ballistic missiles. Compassion is gold there. People are being fed, and some are carrying clean water to others.
A Look Ahead at UT Football for 2009
UT’s first and second game should be a no-brainer. The first Big 12 conference game is their third game against Texas Tech. Tech also has an easy schedule for the first and second games. They will have to face McCoy and the Longhorns on the home field in Austin for their third game. Texas Tech has a 350 pound offensive guard with the skull of death tattooed across his head. It couldn’t...

UT Longhorn Football Team First Game of 2009-2010
Anyone that follows Texas College Football recalls an unexpected and amazing 2005 season for the University of Texas Longhorns. This was the year that Vince Young stepped over the right side of the USC goal line with 19 seconds left in the game, in what many professionals believe to be the greatest championship game performance ever. USC was leading by 5 points when the clock hit 19 seconds. Young...
UT Longhorns first game
September 5, 2009 is the first UT Longhorn football game of the 2009-2010 season. They came within 2 tenths of a BCS point last season from playing in the Championship game against florida. They had a near perfect season, 12 wins and only 1 loss. The team that played in the championship last year was Oklahoma, 2 tenths of a BCS point higher than the Longhorns. The Longhorns beat Oklahoma in Dallas...

What Do You Know?
I have been on the Earth through over 20 thousand revolutions. I have been a construction worker, a teacher, a social worker, a student, a husband, a father, a computer programmer. For all that time and experience on the Earth it seems like I should know more than I do. Oh, and I’m a recovering philosopher.
