Sportswriter Michael Hurd Is a Cheesecake Genius

Michael Hurd’s love affair with cheesecakes began with a challenge from an Air Force co-worker in 1968. “Everyone was talking about how hard it was to make a cheesecake,” Hurd recalls. “I thought I could do it, and I did.” Read More | Comment »

Another Texas Honor for Manziel

Who’s the greatest Texas football player of Middle Eastern descent? According to the reference book Syrian and Lebanese Texans, that distinction goes to former Texas Longhorn running back Chris Gilbert (’66-’68), whose mother was Lebanese. But since that book was published in 1974, it’s not exactly up to date. Read More | Comment »

Oh, Who? Manziel Affirms Life After Heisman.

Almost as soon as Johnny Manziel took home college football's most coveted prize, talk began of what he'd do next: Would he win another Heisman? Would he crack under the pressure? Would he relax and somehow forget how to play football? Would he run away with Megan Fox? Try out for the NBA? Read More | Comment »

Johnny Manziel Blah Blah Blah

His name is the first to fill a Google search under the letters "J-O," before Joanne's (fabrics?) and Jaxon Shipley's big brother. Since the Aggies last played on Nov. 24, the freshman QB has won the Heisman, read Letterman's Top 10 list, posed with Bron-Bron, flirted with Megan Fox, and played through with brothers named Jonas.

Texas State’s First Year in Big-Time Football

My grand experiment: Watch/listen to every game this season as the Texas State Bobcats embarked on FBS (Big-Time Football!) in an expanded stadium with new/old coach Dennis Franchione in a dying Western Athletic Conference. Do you want the good news or the bad news? Read More | Comment »

Texas State Set To Pummel the Other Aggies

Ouch. Yes, Eric Guajardo — who would have me “fired” as a blogger for failing to expect a win by a UTSA team with what has been deemed the weakest schedule in all of FBS (Big-Time Football!) — I was wrong ["Postmarks," Nov. 26]. Well, not really. I was correct. Read More | Comment »

The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

Saturday night at Kyle Field, the Aggies put an emphatic stamp on a season that exceeded everyone's expectations but Aggieland's. With the win, Texas A&M finished the regular season 10-2, winning 10 games for the first time since Bill Clinton hosted the Spice Girls at the White House. Read More | Comment »

UTSA Looms as Texas State’s New Rival

Back in the day, the boys from Texas Lutheran College would load ice chests with longnecks, cram into pickups, and shoot down Highway 123 to San Marcos. In the silence of an inky early morning the paint buckets would come out in the quad of the school then still known as Southwest Texas State. Read More | Comment »

Aggies Sleepwalk Through Rout Over Sam Houston

Before the season even started, Hurricane Isaac threatened to define 2012 for the Texas A&M Aggies. Forty-eight hours before kickoff against Louisiana Tech in Shreveport, school officials canceled the game due to the impending storm. Read More | Comment »

Bobcats Face Midshipmen on National TV

Sometimes a loss really, truly is a win. Losing is miserable. Your face is squished in the dirt and your ego crushed. But losses can be turning points. Texas State’s wild slugfest with Louisiana Tech last Saturday resulted in a 62-55 loss, but there’s a win hiding under there. It may rear its head during this week’s televised matchup with Navy.

How the Aggies Won and Won My Heart

I didn't go to Texas A&M for a feminist-spurning M.R.S. degree, but I think I've found true love. Yes, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it. I'm in love! I'm in love! I'm in love with … winning. Read More | Comment »

Texas State Aims To Survive 'Fight Night' Against La. Tech

Tommy Gainey looked like an Irish fighter from a century before – wavy blond hair, rangy but stout of chest. Billy Ray Robbins was a big country boy from Marlin – olive complexion, piercing eyes, a crooked grin and a sturdy frame. Read More | Comment »

'Ghosts of Ole Miss' Comes Off as Obtuse

Remember the scene in A League of Their Own when an African-American woman throws a foul ball back to Dottie Henson and the audience is given the heavy-handed message that, Hey, black people are just like us! Well, that was a better lesson on civil rights than anything from Ghosts of Ole Miss, an unimpressive film in ESPN's 30 for 30 series. Read More | Comment »

Johnny Manziel Takes Texas A&M on Tour

When I was 17, my parents packed our family in the minivan, stocked the cooler with Cokes and candy bars and ham sandwiches, and set out across the South on a tour of colleges, none of which I would later attend. The van was a Chevy Astro the color of the Cowboys' star, with deep-blue velour upholstery and more cup-holders than even our family of five could use. Read More | Comment »

Texas State to San Jose State: You’re Fired
