how about challenging our TD when the game wsa clearly in the bag?

Craig Swann's head basically almost exploded.

Because he thought his brand new corner coming off an injury might have had an interception or the pass was incomplete......I'm not sure I'd want to play for a coach that mails it in ...

We don't care how you rationize it, very few coaches operate the way leach does. It is ok, we knew it was coming, but we'll call a spade a spade and the tech fans can crawl back in your holes. I would be disappointed with that game if I was a tech fan. 5 int's and that is all the points you can ...

Leach had his 2 top backs in the game at the end-nuff said about his character.

That's because his 3rd string back, Aaron Crawford didn't suit up due to turf toe;

The next on their depth chart is a True Frosh from Lawton named Harrison Jeffers that Tech is trying to redshirt;

The next ...

Ahhh yes, Sam St, I remember that 80 point/770 yard total offense speed bump last year in West Texas...and the quote was hanging 100 on Indiana State, the third team in the Texas Tech vs. 4A HS competition tour last year.
Now perhaps you guys should be more focused on playing UT in Austin instead ...

While I agree that UT gets more than its due share from The DMN, I would ask if any of those 15 stories about the Horns have anything to do with Softball or Baseball, sports in which SMU voluntarily took themselves out of the running?

Now, where is the golf and tennis coverage, though?

tell me why UT would schedule SMU again?

If anything, it's a one trip to Austin and that's it. There isn't a need for UT to be in Dallas since the OU game has always been here.

SMU could get to be the sacrificial lamb in front of 80,000+ in Austin if they wanted to see out, but what's the ...

won't that put the series ending at the same time that the Jerry World goes on line? just a nice conspiracy web to start.

OH well, the schools gave a long term commitment- 5 more games- it ain't 10 but it's something. Time for the City Council to step up.

Still, it is a great weekend in Dallas ...

Some small nitpicking...

I believe that the rule prior to this year was 6 wins in regular season games (thus the winning records in 11 game seasons, .500 in 12 game seasons- see Wake Forest in 2002- m).

Waivers have been issued to regular season conference champs with auto tie-ins, like UNT ...

let's not kid ourselves- this kid was never going to LSU....BUT I like a good kid like this. Looks to be versatile, a gamer and has good speed and durable, and more importantly, a student of the game.

While he didn't end up at any of the SEC schools, I think this is GREAT DEAL, much akin to Tech ...

that article was very interesting and sends a mixed message: Texas will drop OU at the Cotton Bowl but pick up a neutral site with Arkansas at Jerry World?...so much for the whole 'we're going home and home with OU because it makes financial sense' arguement. It's now, we're going home and home with ...

BrianT-

I like the scenario that you presented, although you've got one major issue to jump first (but not impossible): getting the Cotton Bowl to sign on. Since most of the corporate dollars already commit to thre 70+ years of tradition, it's tough to sell it without their blessing andtougher to ...
