As they always do for home games, the Longhorn Band played at the halftime of the game between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Texas Longhorns. As I usually do, I shot video of it.

Jackson Jeffcoat hasn’t had the great year we expected so far, but he’s beginning to heat up. Saturday’s game against the Kansas Jayhawks was easily his best of the season.

And he made a great tackle for loss right in front of me.

With new seats this season, we’re closer to the action (and more likely to be out of the sun), but don’t have quite as good a vantage point for shooting the halftime shows. Here what I could get of the Longhorn Band halftime show from the Oklahoma State-Texas game.

So, does that make Tim Tebow the white Barak Obama?

Bryan Harsin dialed up some trickeration in the Oklahoma State-Texas game this weekend, with David Ash handing off to Malcolm Brown on a Statue of Liberty play. Brown took it to the house, although I’m blocked by someone jumping up in front of me.

Heck of a fake, however.

If you look at the numbers, pretty much any of the numbers, the Texas Longhorns don’t have any chance of beating the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday in the Red River Shootout (as it will always be known, as far as I’m concerned). And, going into the season, I would have agreed.

But, something strange happened on the way to winning our first four games: I began to believe in this team.

Don’t get me wrong, I still think the most likely …

Looking back at the blog, I just realized that I hadn’t posted any pictures from the season-opening Rice-Texas game. So, here they are, very overdue.

We have new seats this year, lower deck, west side, next to the south end zone. I certainly don’t miss the long walk to the upper deck, but the view is very different.

On the upper deck, we could see everything well all through the game. With these seats, it’s either a very good view, …

Texas A&M’s road trip to the SEC had major brakes put on it this week. Baylor has refused to waive their right to sue the SEC over the recruitment of Texas A&M.

This is in contrast to their verbal agreement not to sue given two weeks ago. But at that point, it looked like the Big 12 Conference would survive A&M’s departure. With OU looking west, that won’t happen.

I can’t blame Baylor for taking this stance. They haven’t been …

This morning, the Texas A&M Aggies officially gave notice that they plan to leave the Big 12 Conference. While their intended destination is not stated, everyone knows they’re heading to the SEC.

I have mixed emotions about this.

On the one hand, I’ll miss the history of the rivalry. It’s been a game I’ve both looked forward to and dreaded.

But make no mistake, Texas will not play A&M ever again in any sport (after this school year), unless …

Surprising no one, except perhaps the Big 12-2′s Dan Beebe, Texas A&M University has given notice that they intend to leave the conference.

The reality is that A&M has been under Texas’ shadow for a long time. I can’t blame them for wanting out. In fact, they should have gone last summer when everything was happening with Nebraska and Colorado.

But they didn’t. And the Aggie fanbase just got more and more angry and frustrated.

I, for one, will …
