Fortunately, there is “no imminent, direct or specific threat.”

Definitely a little cruel, some Cal students pretending to be a UCLA co-ed on instant messenger get USC point guard Gabe Pruitt’s phone number and set up a date for after the game. The best part may be that they reveal the prank to him while he’s at the free throw line:

When USC guard Gabe Pruitt took his first trip to the free throw line early in the game, the Cal student section hollered in unison: “VIC-TOR-IA, VIC-TOR-IA,” and then yelled out a telephone number. Pruitt glanced back at the crowd in horror and bewilderment before clanking his free throws.

It turns out that a couple of mischeivous little bastards from the Cal student section had been IM’ing with Pruitt all week under the identity of “Victoria,” a fictional UCLA hottie, and Pruitt was eagerly anticipating a date with this nubile co-ed back in Westwood after the game. In preparation for the date, Pruitt had handed over his digits, which the Cal student section recited back to him in unison.

Ouch.

Sure am glad I didn’t actually try to watch this whole thing. Longhorns were only on for about a minute, but still some good PR for the Horns with the female/unemployed market segment. A little bit of video of Matthew McConaughey and the team before the Rose Bowl and celebrating the win, and then some short stuff from Mack Brown, Rashad Bobino, and Limas Sweed. Bobino seems like a fun kid.

Video including Craig Way saying “the Texas Longhorns are college football’s national champions” in front of ten million television viewers is below.

Sewell Hummer in Plano, TX is releasing their 2006 Hummer H2 Longhorn Special Edition. Now this could possibly be one of the more gaudy cars I have ever seen, but isn’t it just beautiful? I personally would probably not drive one, but I am sure that they have already received a few orders for the car.

Also, I am pretty curious as to what the price will be for this “Special Edition.” My guess is around $80,000. What do you guys/girls think?

Update

You can also get a Longhorn edition Hummer H3. It looks even uglier and doesn’t have the longhorn on the front grill, which I think is the coolest part of the H2.

“The simple, classic Longhorns trademark could become the Nike swoosh of the college world, retail experts say.”

Former Tennessee fan is auctioning off his football loyalty on eBay, bids are up over $700.

I personally love Cronkite’s voice and the simple slogan, “We’re Texas.”

Now this is funny stuff.

“We tend to root for the people we can relate to, and white people seem to have an easy time relating to shaggy-haired hippy kids from the northwest.â€?

Never heard of TheBrushback.com before, seems to have some pretty good content and they’ve been around forever and update weekly. Annoys the daylights out of me that they screw up the proportions of all the images on the homepage. Makes the site look a little unprofessional. It’s definitely funny though, and they’re even working on a pilot and trying to get it on Comedy Central.
