Competitive Balance
It’s going to be a quirky year in college football. The key words in 2010 are (air quotes) "competitive balance." Free BC tote bag to the Barker or Carnival-goer that correctly predicts which talking head at the WWL is the first to use the phrase. Get ready, it’s inevitable. The NCAA football...
Conference Change Impact by the Numbers
There's a lot of discussion right now about how the conference change will make it easier for Texas to go undefeated in a season but will hurt both our computer ratings and our media perception, the latter which will affect our human poll rankings. I can't scientifically address that media...
Postgame by Debbie Downer
We deserved to lose and here is why. Let's say you're a baseball team on the cusp of your first World Series in 80 years. You blow game 6 because your crippled first baseman let a ball get by in the 9th. You still have game 7, but your shitty bullpen, which has been an issue all year long, let's...
Hey Fate – F*ck you!
Wow. Fate sure swooped in and pulled the rug out from under Texas last night. Well, fate coupled with a few bad decisions, some instances of poor execution and a history of whistling past the graveyard of a potential Colt McCoy injury. That said, I couldn't be prouder of this team. Hit below the...
The BCS Championship open thread
It's on. PASADENA, Calif. -- Neither Alabama or Texas has taken the field, but that should be starting in a few minutes. The biggest ovation of the night took place a couple of minutes ago when a replay of Vince Young's game-winning touchdown run in the 2006 title game was flashed on the...

DJ Monroe Christian Scott Eligible for Title Game
Mack has reported it at his press conference. Halliburton is there, so if you need a "source", it isn't up on TexasSports yet, but it's up at her Twitter: @suzhalliburton and Inside Texas is also there and reporting it. This is good news for us. Scott can help out on Special Teams after practicing...
BCS Title Game Probabilities
Based on game winning probabilities that can be found using my college football matchup analyzer and which, in turn, is based on my college football ratings. My system's undefeated probabilities (takes into account probability of playing Nebraska vs. probability of playing KSU): Texas:...
The Greatest Game Ever Played and the NFL Talent in it
I googled the first five words of the post title and up popped a link to a movie starring Shia LaBeouf and another link to a book about the 1958 NFL Championship game. Horse-Puckey. Add Texas as a sixth word and google gets it right. The talent that night went far beyond VY vs Reggie. I don't...
In Classic Fashion, FTRS' Bowl Pick 'Em Is Coming Down To The Wire. Tiebreakers Could Matter
