As you probably know, Texas is playing West Virginia tonight in the Sweet 16. But what you may not know is that WVU’s Kevin Pittsnogle is a snazzy dresser. Seriously, what can be going through your head to decide to wear a suit like this to your wedding? This could be worse than Chris Walker’s videos (ok, maybe not).

Who knows, maybe he is just a big Jim Carrey fan…

I have always enjoyed their “Never Graduate” series of commercials…

This is so funny because it is so true.

Right on the heels of getting the Ahmard Howard commitment.

This is her 5th award of the season for the 4th ranked Longhorns.

Tonight at 8:40 PM CST Texas will be playing their first round matchup against the Penn Quakers, in what amounts to essentially a home game at the American Airlines Center. Texas is making their 8th straight trip to the NCAA tournament with Penn making it to the big dance 9 times in the last 12 years.

LaMarcus Aldridge, might possibly be playing in his first and last postseason with the Longhorns. Aldridge had big games against the likes of Memphis and Villanova, but has struggled lately and did not finish the season strong. He will have to step up his game if the Longhorns want to make a real run at the National Championship.

Daniel Gibson also needs to get off to a good start. When he gets going early in the game, it is usually a sign of good things to come for the Longhorns. Gibson’s and Aldridge’s play will be important in the early rounds, so that they can take pressure of PJ Tucker having to do everything.

Penn brings the Ivy League’s leading scoring Ibrahim Jaaber, who is averging 18.4 ppg and 3.4 steals. Penn has two key players, Steve Danley and Eric Osmundson, coming off of injury that will have to step up if they have any chance of pulling off the upset.

All-in-all, Texas should be able to dominate the frontcourt in this game and come up with the easy victory.

P.J. Tucker and LaMarcus Aldridge make the squad.

In an exclusive interview earlier today on SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket, Texas Rangers’ owner Tom Hicks announced that on opening day the Texas Rangers will honor the 2005 National Champion Texas Longhorns, with [tag]Mack Brown[/tag] and [tag]Darrell Royal[/tag] throwing out the first pitches.

This comes on the heels of the Rangers going after Roger Clemens, a former Texas Longhorn himself. I wonder if this is just one more tactic in trying to lure the indecisive Roger Clemens to the Rangers?

Sounds like a bunch of whiny babies to me.

Well, we definitely found out that they do some weird stuff down in College Station. And apparently the Aggies’ musical prowess does not stop at singing old chick music…they can also rap.

Seriously, what can be going through your head to produce something like this?

It is amazing to me how fast rumors spread and how so many versions of a story can come across in the meda. Did [tag]Vince Young[/tag] really get a 6 on the Wonderlic Test. Did he re-take the test and then score a 16? Did the grader of test actually make a mistake in scoring, proving that he would probably score a 1 on the test? All of these questions are up in the are at this moment, and I think the NFL really needs to come out and clarify the situation.

It seems to me that the consensus of stories that I am hearing is that Vince Young did in fact get quite a low score on his first test on Saturday, and then on Sunday was allowed to retake the test and then scored a 16. Now I will admit that a 16 is not great, but to me football IQ is much different than book IQ. And I think I read somewhere that Dan Marino scored a 14, and his career turned out to be just a little bit ok.

So I think we should all just wait until the truth really comes out and hold our opinions until then.

• False score gives Young wrong kind of buzz
• Only a 6? No, Young did better on Wonderlic
