Mack Brown wants the Coaches Poll out of the BCS. Makes perfect sense since coaches don’t actually watch games every week.

After sweeping away the Aggies to end the Big 12 regular season, the Texas baseball team is finally rolling at just the right time. After winning 10 of their last 12 the team went from possibly out of the postseason to being in the running to host a regional.
This week the team is the 5th seed in the Big 12 Baseball Championship in Oklahoma City. If the team can win a few games in a tough pool they can sew up a #2. A regional at Disch-Falk makes it a lot more likely the Horns can advance in the CWS.

Ricky Williams discusses life in the public eye. You can’t always be yourself, you have to be a role model.
The Minnesota Vikings traded with the Kansas City Chiefs for top sack artist Jared Allen but they weren’t willing to part with former Longhorn [tag]Brian Robison[/tag] to do it.
The Chiefs asked for Robison as part of the deal but Vikings preferred to give up another high draft pick as part of the trade rather than part with Robison. Last year Robison had 4.5 sacks in limited snaps and this season he’ll be the team’s third defensive end and should be on the field more frequently.
Read more details from the Viking Buzz blog* below:
In case you didn’t catch this in Adam Caplan’s Minicamp Insider 1.0* recently, he writes “A league source familiar with the situation notes the Kansas City Chiefs asked for DE Brian Robison to be included in the trade for DE Jared Allen,” Caplan reported. “Minnesota is pretty high on the former University of Texas defensive lineman and told the Chiefs they wouldn’t give him up. Robison is expected to be the first end off the bench this season for the Vikings.”
This little tidbit is a testament to the upside potential the Vikings see in Robison. While most people probably pigeon-hole Robison as a promising pass-rush specialist, be assured the Vikings see more in him that just one-trick-pony potential…
It speaks for itself that the Chiefs tried to get Robison included in the Jared Allen trade. It also says plenty the Vikings were instead willing to up their ante in the form of another high draft choice instead.
Pretty exciting to see that both teams are so high on Robison. Hopefully he can have a big season and keep moving up the depth chart to become an every down player.
