Being 6-foot-2, 204 might make living with that name a little easier.

Should be pretty cool, let’s hope it has a happy ending.

$3.7 million per month for the rest of the season.

Pretty clear why Horns backed off Rouse during his recruitment.

Sports Illustrated has posted a laughable list of college football’s all-time greatest plays. In honor of this list and almost as bad top 25 moments of the year, I should compile a list of the worst lists I’ve ever seen. But that sounds like a lot of work, so I’ll just bash their work.

An illegal play amassing a single yard in the middle of the season is bigger and better than “The Play” with Stanford’s band on the field and Doug Flutie’s Hail Mary to give Boston College the upset over Miami? A twelve yard touchdown run by Iowa State’s Seneca Wallace against Texas Tech that I’ve never heard of let alone seen over a play like Tommy Lewis’ “sideline tackle” of Dicky Maegle during the 1954 Cotton Bowl? The 2005 – 06 college football season was a fantastic one (especially for Longhorn fans) but I find it very hard to believe that this season featured 20% of the game’s all-time greatest plays.

As for their number one overall play, the “Bush Push” wouldn’t even be a sane person’s top play of this year. Vince Young’s game-winning touchdown run in the Rose Bowl was a bigger moment, in a bigger game, on a bigger stage and was a much more impressive play. Plus it was legal and seven yards longer.

The media lovefest for all things Notre Dame and USC is getting a little embarassing.

If a player wants to go to the grad school of his choice, then don’t play football.

Horns face Arizona State on Thursday at 2pm on ESPN2.

If Horns can even score 3 or 4 per game for Cat they’ll win the title.
