jones Top Ten: 2010 Final Edition
When Notre Dame plays USC, I have always thought the game was in Technicolor. Saturated hues play in the twilight of either one venerable stadium built to look like the Roman Coliseum or another that looks like a 1940s movie set (well, it is a 1940s movie set, actually). The same uniforms, the same...
Pre-conference ramble
I'm doubtful that anyone is looking forward to the conference season in college basketball more than I. I keep seeing things that confuse me. (I know, I know, easily confused, so what?) But the music from that Corona Light commercial that keeps running on the games I watch is now running through my...
Pac 10 Network – Why it Was A Deal Killer For Texas
A few weeks back, the Pac 10/12 quietly announced that there was a "strong likelihood" that the Conference would start its own cable channel in 2012. As with any other major undertaking the "Devil is in the Details," and buried in the details of the conference's plan for its own network are a...
Larry Scott Paul Finebaum
First of all, if you haven't checked in to The Paul Finebaum Radio Network before, make a New Year's resolution to give it a whirl some time. Generally, the audience calls in and hilarity ensues. This Fall you would have learned Nick Saban may not be the guy to get it done at Bama. Today he had...
jones Top Ten 2010 Bowl Preview Spectacular
My fellow Texas fans: Please set aside your animosity and neurosis for a brief moment and revel in all that is good about the holiday spirit and the bowl season to come. For there is still football to be played. If that is not enough, Andy Williams will join us for a song later, plus Shields...
We Are Not The Knights
At Texas, we've often said we're the Joneses but apparently we are not the Knights. Oregon is trying to wrestle the mantle of University with most bad ass facilities away from us with the new Howard Roark-designed Len Casanova Center, which will be privately funded through the philanthropy of...
Pac-12 Football Divisions Set
And as far as the schedule is concerned it breaks out almost like 8 teams in the South and 4 teams in the North. The South Division looks like this: USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State with Colorado and Utah. The North division will consist of Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and...
BCS - Week 1 - Quick Update
We still have yet to see the biggest BCS related match up of the weekend (Boise/VT), but that game is pretty clear cut as far as NC implications. As I've said previously, I believe Boise can make a serious NC game run as an undefeated team if: a) teams from the big boy conferences (SEC, Big 10,...
jones Top Ten 2010 Season Preview
Ponder South Carolina. I use "ponder" as a verb here, not as reference to some mythical Conroy-esque small southern town. To be precise: meditate with me on the South Carolina Gamecock football team; for I believe they are the greatest program the sport has ever known. The ‘cocks—whose fans sport...
Pac 10 Commish: Blame Texas Politics
There is no Pac 16 thanks to "Texas politics," and UT playing both sides by leaking the story before it was a done deal . That's what Pac 10 Commissioner Larry Scott told reporters Wednesday at the conference's media day. Scott made several points while talking to reporters on the floor of the...
