NCAA Football

Old School and High Tech

I remember visiting my divorced father on weekends. He’d be cradled in his recliner, eyes fixed on two smallish televisions on at once, each tuned to a different football game – college on Saturdays, pro on Sundays, natch. No remote control. No wall-covering screen. No high definition. Read More | Comment »

Barnburner: A Hot Time in Shreveport Saturday Night

"Late last night …"
Early Sunday morning, the Aggies eked a red-eye win from their trip to Shreveport, beating the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 59-57 in regulation. The final whistle didn’t sound until 12:45am, nearly four and a half hours after Saturday's kickoff. It was an agonizing win for the Aggies, who take a 5-1 record into this week's matchup with LSU.

Stoops and Franchione

Editor's note: Joe O’Connell claims to have intercepted this message left by OU Coach Bob Stoops in Dennis Franchione’s voicemail box, but O’Connell also claims to have the power to steal elections and to understand the inner thoughts of Gruyere cheese. We don’t believe a word of it and neither should you. Read More | Comment »

Texas A&M vs. Ole Miss

As the Aggies prepared to visit Oxford for their first away game in the SEC, I experienced a peculiar but common phenomenon: my ears, previously deaf to Rebel revelry, suddenly heard the words "Hotty Toddy" everywhere. Read More | Comment »

New Mexico Is Stand-In for Bobcats’ Festering Horns Fantasy

All proud graduates of the school that shall forever be known as Southwest Texas State dream of the day when the Texas State Bobcats finally get a chance to be shellacked by the Texas Longhorns. Or just maybe … Read More | Comment »

Aggies on Autopilot

Researchers at Texas A&M's Transportation Institute told KUT they'd soon visit the creative geniuses at Google to learn more about their new driverless, or "self-driving" cars. Developed at Stanford under the leadership of Sebastian Thrun, the vehicles use sensors to navigate roads without human aid (or, engineers might say, human interference). Read More | Comment »

Texas State Bobcats Remain Invisible

It’s not easy being invisible. Just ask the Texas State Bobcats. For much of the past 30 years they’ve been a footnote at best in what should be expected to be home television markets in Austin and San Antonio. It was true even in 2005 when they fought their way through a good chunk of a national football playoff before faltering. Read More | Comment »

Football and Existentialism

Saturday night at Kyle Field, the Aggies hosted the Bulldogs of South Carolina State. And by "hosted," I mean the Aggies obliterated (destroyed, whipped, crushed) a team that traveled across the country to participate in their own slaughter. Read More | Comment »

Murder and Football

The story goes that John Kendrick Castleberry, a respected doctor in Nacogdoches, had a thing for his nurse Dora. They first poisoned her husband, Luther, then put a dab of the same potion in a cup of tea that John’s wife, Oriter, was drinking. Read More | Comment »

Hurts So Good

Legend has it that in 1920, pressed for money and disillusioned with their ornery new mascot, the University of Texas cooked and served Bevo I at their annual football banquet, where both Longhorn and Aggie players feasted on what must have been some seriously tough meat. Read More | Comment »

Nevermind the Score, Texas State Beat Tech

Texas State won last week. OK, technically they were stomped 58-10 by Texas Tech in the Bobcat’s first real home game as an FBS (translation: Big-Time Football!) team and transient Western Athletic Conference member. But they still won. Read More | Comment »

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

Why the Aggies Don't Have to Win to Win My Heart

In honor of the Texas A&M Arts and Humanities building scheduled to open this fall, I want to tell you a love story: In the autumn of 2010, that time of year an old friend calls, "the twinge," when intolerable heat gives way to the jet stream and we can all wear our jeans again, I fell for Aggie football in a way I hadn't since the days of Dat Nguyen.

The Texas State Bobcats will compete at the Football Bowl Subdivision for the first time this Saturday, putting them at a semi-even playing field with those big shots at the University of Texas.

Sucking the Life From Penn State

Last night I watched a television show called True Blood in which vampires discussed how they should approach relationships with humans and the outside world. There are buckets of supernatural critters in the HBO series, like werewolves, and fairies, and I keep waiting for bigfoot to show up, but vampires are clearly the baddest beasts on the block.

'The NFL Beat': The End of the Super Agent

I have actually been around Drew Rosenhaus more than the average American, and I can tell you one thing is true. The whole phone thing, the thing about him always being on the phone: This is true. In fact, I am under the impression that the bluetooth conspicuously implanted in his ear is actually dedicated to a separate line than his handheld blackberry. Read More | Comment »

'The NFL Beat': Jenkins Island

Janoris Jenkins will one day have an “island” of his own. Like Darelle Revis, or former University of Florida teammate Joe Haden, Jenkins possesses the ability to be a true NFL shutdown corner. A cover corner who leaves the opposing receiver feeling stranded, frustrated, and helpless like Tom Hanks in Castaway. Read More | Comment »
