40 Acres Sports

Not that anyone wants to relive yesterday’s game, but ESPN’s highlights of the loss to [tag]Kansas State[/tag] are posted below if you’ve got the stomach for it:

It makes it even worse to know how close we were to taking the thing back over at the end of the first half and again in the third quarter. The kick and punt returns for touchdowns just absolutely killed any momentum and fire the team was able to muster. Every time the team (and me at home on the couch) thought we were back in it KState would do something to rip out our hearts again.

Just to help me back away from the ledge a little, videos of Florida, West Virginia, and of course Oklahoma getting upset this weekend are posted after the jump.

Former Longhorn [tag]Roy Williams[/tag] really knows how to treat the ladies. He’ll treat you to a Big Mac or if you’re a truly special woman maybe some Red Lobster.

On being cheap: I am cheap, I’m a cheap date. Get you some McDonalds, with some cheese on it and I’m just really cheap, man. I’m very low key, I like to stay home. I like to go bowling on Monday nights and I go to the casino every once and awhile. Other than that, you won’t see Mr. Williams out at all.

You do tip the pizza guy? There’s no such thing as a tip. But I am really polite and I say ‘Thank you sir.’ … The pizza man knows, when he comes to my address, he’s coming for free.

If you’re on a date and she wants to go to a nice place, what do you do? I might just take her to the casino and get her a free buffet. If I did take a date out to a nice place, I’d take her to a nice place, like a Red Lobster or something. It wouldn’t be Morton’s or nothing like that.

I love Roy. Most people don’t get him but the guy is just a character. There’s actually people on the Detroit Free Press that are taking his comments seriously. Lions fans are morons. Apparently they’re too dense to catch on even when he called Red Lobster a fancy place.

Chris Stewart transferring from Notre Dame. He was interested in Texas during recruiting, with OL depth issues might be worth a shot.

Jamaal Charles’ brother ShanDerrick was a running back for SMU before injuries ended his career. JC is trying to carry on his legacy.

Little brother of [tag]Tony Hills[/tag] and future Longhorn running back [tag]Jeremy Hills[/tag] is a four star recruit and is somehow still flying under the radar of most Longhorn fans. He’s got the pedigree and, from the video I’ve seen, the talent to be a big time running back for the Horns. Check out the video below:

Don’t forget that these highlights are only from one game and aren’t a normal highlight reel. The run he had with about 1:30 left in the video where he jumps over a guy then cuts on a dime is pretty sick. Jeremy rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns in the 35-21 loss to Houston Westside.

Fran sucks and finally Aggies know it. Just weeks ago delusional Aggies were thinking national title. Ha.

Vince Young just knows how to win. It’s surprising how long it took the NFL guys to figure out something Longhorn fans have know for years.

Lamarr Houston is making the most of his opportunity filling in for Brian Orakpo. Houston has incredible strength and speed and makes a great strongside defensive end.

John Chiles gives UT extra dimension. I love QB’s wearing number seven, it just looks right.
