Bringing the storm clouds: Defense against the run
I'd like to zoom in on our defense's execution of Diaz's mantra of "Stop the run, hit the quarterback" in game 1. At first glance, it would appear that we failed miserably but given that we allowed only 9 points, we need to evaluate the performance more carefully than "they ran the ball and we...
Mondays In the Humidor: The Cigar on The Ash Package and More
I suspect Saturday night’s Texas vs. Rice happenings made the Big Cigar’s evening rather satisfying. Just after David Ash and Jaxon Shipley took back-to-back Wildcat snaps I pictured El Cohiba Grande somewhere high up in the sky from his perch in a plush DKR box with his custom Lucchese’s...
2011 Texas-Rice Post Mortem: Defense
I'm a little surprised by some of the angst over the defense, the gist of which seems to be that we were run on a little (how unexpected) and that people didn't feel particularly entertained or something. Rice's game plan had a lot to do with that. If you expected Rice to throw 50 times from 7...
2011 Texas-Rice Post Mortem: Offense
Our OL didn't play all that well, the WRs had some drops, our QB didn't play at a high level...and we ended up with 506 yards of offense at 6.7 Yards Per Play and 34 points. With another two easy touchdowns left on the field with execution errors. I find it refreshing to watch an offense with a...

Resident Handicapper VegasKyle Talks Texas -23 vs. Rice
Texas -23 just happens to be VegasKyle's favorite pick of the week. Cappers love the first few weeks of the season because the linemakers in Vegas don't have a good feel yet for how teams will come out of the gate. All of the current lines are projections based on what a team has on paper, how it...
David Ash: Red Light on the Redshirt Talk
There seems to be a bit of misdirection coming out of the Texas program this week and, while familiar, it looks nothing like Bryan Harsin trickeration. Just the same, it is meant to disguise and deflect. If you followed the coaching change saga, you know exactly what I’m talking about. This round...
The Week That Will Be -- 9.03.2011
What we learned this off season... We learned that you can ride on a yacht and party with strippers and get a one game suspension, but you trade in an autographed glove and you’re getting five games. Nice consistency, NCAA. We learned that Texas A&M has self-esteem issues that will only be...
LHN Help Line
If you are not one of the tens of households that have the Longhorn Network, then you will need a central clearinghouse for what bars in what cities will be carrying the game. I consider this a better alternative than speed balling meth and heroin to dull the pain and rot the toofs. ...
You Are What Your Record Says You Are
At 3-0, I’m getting a little worried… Before I get into the overly complicated, comparative analysis, let’s consider some sobering statistics: Texas is 71st overall in passing yards, 65th overall in rushing yards, 50th in points scored, and 9th in points against. These aren’t impressive numbers...
