Texas head coach [tag]Mack Brown[/tag] was on the ESPN show Rome is Burning yesterday for a lengthy interview about the upcoming season. Not really any new information that anyone who reads this site or follows the Horns wouldn’t know but it’s always impressive to see Mack in an interview. He always comes across as such a likable and easy going person, it’s easy to see why he’s had such excellent success recruiting.

Watch the interview below:

Breaking news coming in from Orangebloods at the Texas Gridiron Kickoff Luncheon: [tag]Greg Davis[/tag] had his appendix taken out two days ago while the coaches were having their annual retreat.

Let’s hope that’s where his love for the two-yard wide receiver hitch was stored. I kid, I kid. Davis himself found a little humor in the situation as well saying, “It was being around Will (Muschamp) in the spring (that caused the appendix to burst).”

Since he’s at the luncheon I assume he’s already doing well, but let’s hope he has an easy and speedy recovery.

Mack: No more sugar and spice for his Horns. UT coach plans to draw a harder, tougher line this season.

The A-11; Wave Of The Future, Or Satan’s Offense? Cool gimmick. Two quarterbacks, every player could be an eligible receiver.

Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman is scared of VCR’s. Good coach but I’m not sure he’ll ever recruit well.

10 years of Mack from The Daily Texan. Brown has had many high points over the past 10 years at Texas.

Sunday Morning QB sees a resurgence in the wishbone in 2008 thanks to Army and coach Paul Johnson in the ACC.

Sergio Kindle to get snaps at DE? Muschamp has big plans for Longhorns’ defense.

SEC coaches hoping for early signing day in late November. Nothing will change unless they can force the NCAA to do something.

Joe Paterno backs playoff system, calls excuses ‘bogus’. He doesn’t think we’ll have playoff by the time he retires in 15 years.
