Perfect game for all of us Internet coaches. Can’t wait for this to be integrated into NCAA and Madden.

Still going to use the shotgun and the one-back, 3 WR sets. I hope to see more play-action.

Let’s hope the fans (and Colt & Jevan) understand this is their 1st time under the lights and they’ve got time to grow.

I guess he can’t get beaten any worse than Troy Smith & the Buckeyes did in January.

Final Four? What Final Four? The national champs will be coming to a television set near you this Saturday at 6 p.m.

FSN Southwest will televise Texas’ spring football scrimmage at 6 p.m. Saturday. The game will be carried in many of FSN’s southern markets and by KDFI in Dallas. FSN will air a replay at 1:30 p.m. on April 5.

Don’t miss your first chance to see Colt McCoy, Jevan Snead, and the rest of the 2006 Texas Longhorns. Should be the best spring game in a long time, I’m as interested to see the second and third stringers as the guys who are starting.

Marcus has the inside shot for starting SS and Michael is one of the top DB’s in the nation.

Kind of hard to claim a single isolated incident is sign of an epidemic.

Zack Pianalto out of Springdale, Arkansas (same school as Mitch Mustain and a handful of other excellent players last year) has become the Texas Longhorns’ 14th commitment. Pianalto, a 6’4″ 210 pound TE/WR combo in the David Thomas mold, is the second tight end prospect to commit this week.

Young kid who still has some growing to do physically but it sounds like the Texas coaches likes him and that’s certainly a big endorsement. The Horns have had a couple of fantastic tight ends the last few years in Thomas and Bo Scaife, redshirt freshman Jermichael Finley looks like he’s going to be big time as well, so I trust the staff to evaluate the position.

Welcome to the program Zack.

The Trojans’ theme for the upcoming season is “Encore.” (via)

Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon spent some time on yesterday’s Pardon the Interruption discussing Vince Young and his draft stock. They think it’s completely ridiculous if he’s dropping and Wilbon thinks it’s all misinformation and that he’s not dropping at all.

It’s amazing what happens when people base their opinions on ability and on-field performance instead of their preconceived notions of what an NFL quarterback should be. The last couple of seconds of the video includes a classic exchange between the two hosts:

Kornheiser: “I don’t understand how you would not want Vince Young.”
Wilbon: “You don’t want to win.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself. (Which is probably why they have a TV show and I have a blog.)
