Connor Wood Is A Colorado Buffalo
Best of luck to Connor Wood in Boulder. CU will lose senior starter Tyler Hansen after this season and Wood can compete for a starting gig in 2012. Final thought for Connor: Take up hackeysack. Questions for the audience: 1. Did the right guy transfer? 2. Will the Longhorns ever face Wood in...
Aloha, No. 1 seed?
If you have a copy of the first half of Texas's 69-49 win at A&M on January 31, burn that sucker. Save it. Savor it. Review it frequently during the long, hot summer. It's likely the best half of basketball Texas will play this season. They peaked that night. Yeah, I said it. That's the bad news....
Welcome to the jumble
All you need to know about the kind of month it has been in Big 12 basketball is to understand that Oklahoma, which lost its first three league games, now is tied for third place a little more than two weeks later. What’s great about that is that while it tends to explain everything, it tells us...
Building Blocks
Big 12 notes FTC Some more to take out of the Texas win over Kansas: First of all, nobody saw that comeback coming. Not at KU, where Texas never had won, and KU had won 69 straight. Texas happened to go through a game like that exactly 52 weeks ago, up 10 at UConn and losing by 14. Of course,...
The Hawk Will Coach Intramurals
Dan Hawkins will have to do his spirit quests on someone else's dime. Because he's gone at Colorado. Hawkins was 19-39 leading the Buffs in his tenure, despite a sterling 53-11 record at Boise State where he played a significant role in building the Boise State brand. Which gives pause and...
Dan Hawkins Has What it Takes to Sell Real Estate
I missed this news when it surfaced a week ago so in case you did too, here's the deal: When asked earlier this year what the athletic department might do to help the football program succeed, Colorado Head Coach Dan Hawkins suggested a contract extension. Apparently, with a straight face....
Colorado: Broke Ass Mountain
Colorado wants out of the Big 12 ASAP and they're currently in negotiations with the league to leave in 2011 rather than 2012. The only problem is that Colorado is broke. Dead-ass broke. So broke that they couldn't afford Dan Hawkins' buyout after his 4th consecutive losing season in Boulder. ...
Texas Doesn't Want Special Payout; AM And OU, Well, Still Thinking
Iowa State's proposal - endorsed by the six dwarves - that A&M, Texas, and Oklahoma split up to 18 million dollars in penalty fees from Colorado and Nebraska's departure has, once again, been publically rejected by the Longhorns. The Horns favor a normal split of that money amongst the remaining...
Anticipatory Breach of Contract
If you don't understand what that is, get your education at Better Off Red. The comments section is particularly illuminating. Nebraska went into the meetings with a strategy that was not meant to create understanding or compromise so much as provide court fodder that Texas and others were...
The New Big 12-2: How Does It Stack Up?
Big 12-2 Weakness I took the last five years of performance (final AP rankings), threw out Nebraska and Colorado, and found myself raising an eyebrow. I'm using rankings because forced rankings against peers, however flawed, at least assigns a useful hierarchy. Some observations: - Since 2005,...
