Auburn Hires Gus Malzahn As New Offensive Coordinator

A PHENOMENAL hire by Gene Chizik, I am impressed he was able to pull this off.

With the failure of the Air Raid last season, I wonder how patient the Auburn fanbase will be with Malzahn, though, as he installs his spread offense.

A&M Is The Conference Darkhorse, Per Sporting News

Well, another writer thnks we're the dark horse or possible surprise team in the Big 12. It is difficult to take a writer seriously when they can't even spell Billy Gillispie's name correctly.

And I happen to be a big fan of the "absurb map of Texas" on our court.

Bryan Davis Says Basketball Team Mature Enough To Keep In Shape Over Break

I don't think the break for the basketball team is such that they need to worry about conditioning (they'll be back at practice tomorrow night for the SHSU game Saturday), but a little leadership from Davis never hurts.

President Bush Pardons An American Hero Of Isreal

There have been many things I have disagreed with 41 about, but one of the few I have never questioned is his vocal backing of Isreal. His pardoning of Charles Winters follows in that mold.

Stephen McGee Is One Of Three Finalists For The Bobby Bowden Award

Stephen McGee Is One Of Three Finalists For The Bobby Bowden Award

The award is given out by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to a student-athlete who "epitomizes the student-athlete ideals-- a young man who conducts himself as a faith-based model in the community, in the classroom and on the playing field."

After earning his Bachelor's degree in three years, and being close to completing his Master's degree while being a starting and then back-up QB for the football team, McGee certainly exemplifies those ideals.

Takia Starks Is On The Naismith Trophy Watch List

Takia Starks Is On The Naismith Trophy Watch List

I'm kind of ambivalent about the Naismith, because I'm still bitter about their failure to recognize the greatness of Acie Law in 2007, but it would be cool is Takia became one of the finalists for the Naismith Trophy. That would mean everyone recognizes her as one of the best players in college basketball.

With the hiring of Brady Hoke by SDSU, I guess it means Fran is still on the Aggie payroll for another year.

Sam Bradford Wins Heisman Trophy

Sam Bradford Wins Heisman Trophy

I'm just happy the voters ultimately agreed with my choice for who should win the Trophy.

I finid it interesting, though, that Bradford essentially won because he had the most second place votes, which helped him out-point both Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy.

Women's Basketball Destroys Texas State 94-45

Holding the opposing teams to 2 points for the first 11 minutes of the game is impressive defense. Six players scored in double figures as the Lady Ags ran away with thiis one, starting out with a 23-2 lead and never looking back.

Fuller, Hunter, Johnson, Tannehill Earn CollegeFootballNews.com Post-season Accolades

I'm really glad some people are taking notice of what Fuller, Tannehill, and Hunter did, because I was beginning to wonder if the stellar play of those three was being lost in the negative reviews of our losing season.
