Longhorns to snatch "world’s biggest HD display" title from Dolphins?

The guys over at Engadget have the scoop on the “biggest HD display in the world”. It will reside in Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, which just happens to be the home of my beloved Longhorns. Now, if only they could replace the “Running of the Horns” video while they’re at it.

Lonestar Showdown – Game 1

The game between the Spurs and Mavericks certainly lived up to the hype; coming down to the final seconds. The Mavericks had a chance to tie or win as time was expiring, but Jerry Stackhouse got caught in the corner and had to jack up a three-pointer as the clock ran out. It [...]

Lonestar Showdown

Two of my favorite teams begin what should be a great NBA Playoff series today. The San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks play two very different styles of basketball, which should make for an interesting series. I’ve got to give the edgo to the Spurs, however. They’ve got home-court advantage and their [...]

Texas Longhorns – Zimbio

I created a Zimbio portal for my beloved University of Texas Longhorns. It will be interesting to see if I can get any user participation. I’m curious to see just how useful other people will find this type of resource.

NFL Draft

One of the biggest crap shoots in sports-the NFL Draft-is taking place this weekend. From a purely business standpoint, it’s amazing to see the amount of guaranteed money professional athletes are getting today.
I can’t imagine any Fortune 500 company paying a key executive a $15 million signing bonus, yet it is common place among [...]

Survive and Advance

My Texas Longhorns are still dancing in the NCAA Tournament, thanks to an unbelievable buzzer-beating three pointer to win their game against West Virginia. The shot was made by senior Kenton Paulino, who has been basically a role player during his career. Therein lies the beauty of “March Madness”; anyone can hit the [...]

March Madness

I’ve said it before, probably on this very blog, that this is my second favorite time of the year (behind the start of football season, of course). The NCAA Men’s basketball tournament reminds me each year of why I love sports, and, more specifically, college athletics. Each year some tiny team from some [...]

Finally

I’ve been an avid University of Texas fan as long as I have been cognizant of sports. Last night, in the greatest game my eyes have witnessed, Vince Young, in the greatest individual performance I have witnessed, beat USC to claim the National Championship. I have been waiting for this moment for around [...]

Work is good and bad.
My wife is lovely.
The Texas Longhorn football team is 60 minutes away from the Big Prize.

One of the Best

I witnessed one of the greatest clutch performances I have ever seen in a sporting event tonight. Robert Horry, of the San Antonio Spurs, hit 4 key 3 point shots and a monstrous dunk to single-handedly win the 5th game of the NBA Finals for the Spurs. I admire athletes, or anyone else [...]
