    Jaydon Blue Texas

    after watching U Texas all year my favorite player was Jaydon Blue . Not sure how he did in the combines etc but to me the most dangerous man in the backfield . Runs the wheel route and is explosive . Unfortunately was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 3rd round .

    Coogs-Gators Final night

    Houston +1 over Florida ** Two teams that are very different in their style of play . So much has already been written about each team ...Not going to bore you with all the backgrounds I like the Coogs slightly because they are the better defensive team . But Florida has Clayton who can score...

    Houston

    Houston +4.5 over Duke **** Think defense has the edge and Sampson has a game plan to slow down Dukies . Coogs need to contain and slow down Dukies Off. Think they keep this a very close game and although they might not win it outright think they cover the 4.5 pts

    Texas fires coach XU's Miller new coach

    Texas has fired its basketball coach Rodney and hired XU's Sean Miller . Great movie and hire. Rodney has been on the "hot" seats here in Austin for awhile.Miller has taken his teams to the Sweet 16 and final 8 but never the final 4. What I like about the hire is Millers teams is always one of...

    Johnnies-Marquette

    Johnnies -3 or-4 over Marquette *** Johnnies won both games vs Marq in conference . But this game is a tournament game so it doesn't mean as much as trying to beat a team 3 times during the season. Its hard to beat someone 3 times but I'm sure Johnnies coaches have told their players forget the...
