I hate the BCS. I hate the bowl games. I want there to be playoffs in major college football. I write this because, normally, I would be pulling for Oklahoma to defeat Texas Tech this weekend for the purpose of screwing up the BCS. But I can’t do that this time out. I just can’t. And I can’t because of the Texas Longhorns. I’ve made the mistake of listening to sports talk radio this week, and it’s been ugly. Nothing but Longhorn fans calling and talking about Texas and how
November 21, 2008Whine All You Want, Longhorn Fans
Let the whining commence. You know, that whining about the Texas Longhorns being screwed by The Man. It all started on Friday when Richard Justice talked about how the Horns were forced to run up the score on the Aggies in order to prevent the injustice of Oklahoma being ranked in front of the Horns. And after the BCS rankings came out yesterday, the whining grew ever louder. Especially since those rankings put the Sooners at number two in the country while sticking Texas at number three.
December 1, 2008Bowling for UT, TCU, UH and Rice
I'm sure the Longhorns and their fans are still pissed they didn't win the Big 12 and aren't playing for the national title. But screw Longhorns fans. I think I can speak for many college football fans who are pissed the Horns are playing in the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State. Ohio effing State. The Horns went 11-1 on the season and clearly earned a BCS Bowl berth. Sure, Ohio State went 10-2, but the team struggled the entire season, and couldn't even win the Big 11 10. Yet somehow the
December 8, 2008BCS Bill in Congress? About Time Our Politicos Got to the Important Stuff
The nation is in peril. There's still the threat of terrorism. The military is mired in two wars. The economy is falling apart. Rich banking execs are getting bonuses for their failing businesses -- bonuses being paid by taxpayer money -- and the auto industry is on the verge of collapse. But if you ask some people, the biggest problem facing our great country is the BCS. Which is why Texas congressman Joe Barton (R -- nutjob), and fellow Texas Republican Michael McCaul (R -- nutjob) have i

The college football bowl season is here, and it's become such a confusing mess of odd-sounding games played in smallish towns with mediocre teams that you need an expert to figure it out. And nothing says "expert" more than a teen-aged kid, whether the subject is football, driving, or how inutterably lame Dad's musical tastes are. So here are the first of three sets of bowl-game capsules by noted college football expert Patrick Connelly, who somehow doesn't think Charlie Weis needs to be fired

January 1, 2009Longhorns Can't Brag About Buckeye Victory
I want to thank The Ohio State Buckeyes. Sure, they lost to the Texas Longhorns, but because the Longhorns needed a bad spot by the referees to help get the victory, I'm pretty damn sure that the country has been saved from listening to Longhorn fans bitch about not playing for the BCS Title. Because, Longhorn fan, if your team is dependent on bad officiating to beat The Ohio State Buckeyes - a team that had to play without its best player for most of the second half because of an injury - the

Austin -- Following last night's Florida Gators victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in the BCS Title Game, the Texas Longhorns football team held a press conference outside of the main entrance to Darrell K. Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium. Head Coach Mack Brown, reading from a prepared statement, stated that, unless the Florida Gators relinquish the BCS Title to Texas by midnight, January 10, 2009, the University of Texas Longhorns football team would be filing suit against the University of Flo

Well, Houstonians, our bowl game has grown up. That's right, the Texas Bowl is going big time and this year will be joining ESPN's Capital One Bowl Week lineup. The game will be played on New Year's Eve this year, and kick-off will be at 2:30 pm.Did I mention the game is on ESPN this year?That means that most of the nation might actually be able to see the game, seeing as for the past three years the game has been shown on the NFL Network. Of course, I'm not sure what a television audience wil
July 23, 2009Listen Up, People: The Top Ten Coaches In Houston History
​The Chron's Jerome Solomon has another of those endless lists we writers like to do, this one asking for input on the top 10 coaches in Houston college and pro sports history. And he helpfully provides us with some candidates for the list. So I thought I would help out and provide what I consider to be the definitive list of the Top 10 coaches in Houston college and pro sports history. 1. Guy V. Lewis: One of the most underrated, under appreciated coaches in history. It's a crime that t
August 11, 2009Coogs Doing Their Part; The Fans Better Do Theirs
Photo courtesy UH​The Houston Cougars came out in front of a nearly non-existent Superdome crowd on Saturday and got business done, defeating Tulane 44-16.Of course, it wasn't easy. At least for a half, as the Cougars battled a slow start and poor kicking to lead at only 9-6 after the first half. But the Case Keenum-led offense came out in the second half and put up 20 points in the third quarter and 15 points in the fourth quarter to get the victory and to improve their season record to
October 19, 2009Fightin' Joe Barton, Taking On The BCS System
​Texas congressman Joe Barton has decided that there's something else besides Barack Obama's mere existence that sends him into a frothing, seething fit of anger.It's college football's bowl system.We've gotten an announcement from something called Playoff PAC, a political action committee created to address the single most pressing issue of our day: Who gets to be called the best team in the NCAA.And Joe Barton is on board!!!! Prepare for defeat, NCAA."The entire BCS system is a farce," Barto
October 19, 2009Why Notre Dame Will Win The BCS And Texas Won't: Part 7
​We're a little late getting up this week's analysis of why Notre Dame is destined to win the BCS, but that's only because we have such a cornucopia of reasons to choose from we found it difficult to limit it to our standard five.But five it shall be. We are, after all, traditionalists.So why should Longhorn fans be despondent while Irish fans rejoice? Let's count the ways.1. Notre Dame is adopting the LSU two-loss system of winning the BCS. Louisiana, of course, is one of the most Catholic st
October 20, 2009Why Notre Dame Will Win The BCS Title And Texas Won't: Part Nine
​We have documented weekly just how Notre Dame is moving inexorably towards a BCS championship while UT is deluding itself that it is doing so.Today, though, we discuss why ND's road may be harder.We have discovered, shockingly, that the pernicious influence of the KKK and other such anti-Catholic institutions have, sadly, not been relegated to the dustbin of history, as the kind of people who say "the dustbin of history" say. Frankly, we thought this sort of discrimination had been dealt with
November 3, 2009Why Notre Dame Will Win The BCS And Texas Won't, Part Ten
​This was a tough, tough week for the BCS title hopes of Texas. They played at, what -- 11 in the morning? (Again? What are these guys, some effete "Brunch Bunch"?) They played against some directional Florida school? While Oklahoma was exposing itself as worthless, therefore destroying UT's strength of schedule?Still, it must be said -- UT plays absolutely crap teams from here on out (as they have from here on in) -- so they may go undefeated. If so, they arguably would be considered for the
