Wait! Practice Day 6
Yeah, I went to the open practice. When it ended, I went home, packed a bag, got 17 minutes of sleep, then boarded a 6am plane to SFO. I brought a BB gun in case I saw any joggers. I'm back now and there are a two things that will play significant roles in this upcoming season. First, without...
Practices: Days Thirteen and Fourteen
Slim pickings for Friday's practice, but we do have some pics. Derek Johnson is huge. He looks like a 6'3" Casey Hampton. Saturday's scrimmage was better. At least a little bit. Pics. Applewhite is now wearing a visor as well. This ends now. Antwan Cobb tries to find a way around a prone Ahmard...
Practice: Day Twelve
Mack Brown had a press conference today. Some pretty good information about the team that is taking shape. He talked about playing Tray Allen on both sides of the line, and he mentioned some players who played more than one position at Texas. Now it's not that hard to be a defensive tackle and also...
Practice: Day Eleven
Yesterday's Longhorn scrimmage had a couple of special guests. Mack Brown says on his blog that both Spike Dykes and Joe Greene (whose name Brown misspells) stopped by. No jersey for you, Mack. That kid later died of auto-erotic asphyxiation in that same tunnel. No video is up as of yet, and the...
Practice: Day Ten
Texas had a single practice on Tuesday. I talked to a source within the program, and he indicated that the practice was either in the morning or the evening. Or possibly in the afternoon. Mack Brown informs us that it's pretty fucking hot in Austin on his blog. Kenny Boyd, the head athletic trainer...
Practice: Day Nine
Mack talks about the freshmen on his blog. Regarding which of the freshmen will play this year, "it's too early to know and honestly isn't even in discussion with us yet. " And then Brown talks about something I've never heard of. You’ve probably heard me talk about the MACK 8 committee...
Practice: Day Eight
Texas only had a single practice today, and it was partially in the bubble because it's like 180 degrees in Austin right now. We begin as always with Mack Brown's blog. Mack's got a new stat that emphasizes the importance of depth. We talk about building depth – creating and maintaining a mental...
Practice: Day Seven
Texas had their first two a day practice yesterday. In the morning they were in shorts, but in the evening they went full pads. Mack Brown says on his blog that they're trying to develop depth at this point, and he reiterates his desire to get the best eleven players on the field. We're mixing...
Practice: Day Six
No more open practices. And now the quality of information available starts going downhill until the first game. Mack Brown phoned in another blog entry (I wouldn't know anything about that). With the heat or any other adversity you face, concentration is critical. A good friend of mine, Kathleen...
Practice: Day Five
The first day in full pads. Finally. Mack Brown goes full cliche on his blog and quotes both Joe Jamail and Zig Ziglar. He's clearly aiming for srr50's demographic and is probably kicking himself for posting this before Les Paul died. Jamail makes people feel, uh, less positive than...
