Breakout Players: Big 12 South

Posted by dedfischer on February 15th, 2010 under Football

I've heard some recent complaints about Ivan Maisel's breakout player picks for the Big 12.  I can understand your frustrations, but I didn't think those were too bad of picks outside of Dixon possibly never making it to campus.  Here are a couple of guys from each South team that I've got my eye on headed into the season: Texas Longhorns Offense - OL Tray Allen - I'm not sure if he's an inside or outside guy this year,

Two Loops & a Hooey – Valentine’s Day Edition

Posted by dedfischer on February 14th, 2010 under Football

I got my Valentine's Day wrapped and slapped two days ago, so I've got the rest of the day off.  I've mentioned in passing that my neighbor, Panama, has claimed to be a relative of Vince Young's by marriage.  Now, I've never really questioned his claim as everything he has told me over the last 4 or 5 years has panned out.  On Friday night, Panama bangs on the door about 7:30, pops his head in, and

Two Loops & a Hooey – Pioneer Edition

Posted by dedfischer on February 7th, 2010 under Football

This is a new feature I'll try to do a better job of keeping up with this offseason.  The Cheerleader of the Week gig kind of got old.  I still looked at pictures, but I ran out of material quickly.  Since I can't sleep past 6:30 anymore, Sunday mornings will serve well for the matter. It's kind of a stupid, interesting or funny story how I came up with that name.  I'll tell you how it

Recruiting Retort: Offense

Posted by dedfischer on February 6th, 2010 under Football

Well, Kadron Boone gave us a 6-month lap dance before bolting to a swankier joint and better tips in New Orleans.  Let me tell you something, Kadron, it's not all its cracked up to be.  Next thing you know, you're stuck in a dive fetish joint off Bourbon Street asking how your life has come to a series of $100 transactions for Louisiana Congressmen to urinate on your leg.  Good luck. Onto the new Red Raiders and we'll use

Dallas Recruiting Roundup Notes

Posted by dedfischer on February 5th, 2010 under Football

 Per Willis: - Porter is an NFL corner. - Phillip Warren might turn out to be the best player in the class. He really, really likes this guy. - Whigham will be looked at on offense first.  - The only guy he previously knew about or recruited at Bama was Fred Harvey, who camped there.  Not necessarily the type of athlete he is targeting at the ILB position to chase Dan Buckner and Ryan Tannehill.  Thank God. -

Horns Lose Mason Walters for Spring

Posted by dedfischer on February 5th, 2010 under Football

The Barking Carnival reports Frenship native Mason Walters will miss spring practice after undergoing foot surgery.  Walters was expected to compete for a starting job, possibly at left tackle to replace Adam Ulatoski. RT Kyle Hix will most likely be given a shot at the left side in the spring.  Serious competition will come from the next best option on the Longhorn bus, an empty propane bottle, which showed promise in fall practice while redshirting.

Recruiting Retort: Defense

Posted by dedfischer on February 3rd, 2010 under Football

The good football teams I have witnessed typically consist of 3 to 4 primary playmakers on each side of the ball surrounded by role players.  Now, the quality of the 3 or 4 stars definitely has an impact on the upside of your win column, but the quality of the role players determines the degree of sucktitude at your weak spot.  We know who the 3 or 4 linchpin guys are heading into this season on defense, and we also

2010 NFL Draft – TR Top 10 Big 12 Ballers

Posted by dedfischer on January 31st, 2010 under Football

While we're patiently waiting for recruiting to wrap up, I'll jot down some thoughts on the best players in the conference, so Barking Carnival and Boomer & Sooner colleagues can come tell me how I've lost my mind.  I'll just list these guys in order of least likely to bust.  There is no way I can miss on the first guy: Can't Miss Dudes: 1.  DL Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska - Duh.  He's the best I've ever seen at the position

Stupid Neutral-Site Games That Would Never Happen

Posted by chicagottu on January 21st, 2010 under Football

So the hot new thing in sports is to host sporting events at unlikely venues. Last year I attended the Blackhawks vs RedWings game on New Year’s Day at Wrigley Field. Aside from being ultra-pricey, it was pretty cool. (Thank you wasted Southside-Irish guy for smuggling in that bottle of Admiral Nelson. Genius.) Actually, now that I think about it, this isn’t really anything new. The NFL has played in Mexico and is playing across the

    There are no laws in Oklahoma.

    So, I think the Horns might be good enough to make the quarterfinals of the NIT. And maybe not. Just a team completely adrift.

    Trips,

    I hear you and I agree. And I know most are just frustrated, angry, and beaten down by this year. I really hope that any staff change that takes place will bring energy and maybe a little joy. Just a little. Obviously we need to rework our offense. Barnes installed

    Yep…this is just like watching the 2003 Holiday Bowl, for two months straight.

    Hey, did anyone else watch the 2003 Holiday Bowl while on their honeymoon, in Louisiana?

    I won’t even get started on the offense because there is no prayer in getting that changed this year.

    Well the year appears to be one more game. Thus, love to read your thoughts for next season.

    Patrick, yes, I know. It’s cool. There’s no way he gets fired. I’m just saying that an Offensive minded AC isn’t going to help unless our kids are having fun.

    “So basically Trips is saying that Barnes can’t coach the game, and can’t motivate the players.

    Rebuttal anyone? Not from me.”

    You could make the case that he can recruit, runs a clean and reputable program and represents the University with class and dignity while helping bring the program into the national spotlight which generates revenue.

    I mean, I don’t want to be overly dramatic, but do any of you get the sense that this is turning around anytime soon? Something really fucking shitty has happened to our program over the past two years. And with what we’re losing and what we’re bringing in, it’s going to get a lost worse

    I watched it on the DVR. It was after 9 by the time it was over. Thank god, or I’d be about halfway through some crap gin by now. I didn’t think we’d win this one but I didn’t think we’d struggle to lose by only 19.

    Good write up, btw.

    “Patrick, I’d agree with you if you could guarantee the AC would be a buffer between Barnes and the kids. We have x’s and o’s issues, but we also have a problem with kids having the fun coached out of them.”

    I started this with just under 8 minutes to go in the game. Otherwise this would have been a list of 50.
