UT vs. UCLA: Lesson in Futility
2008-09-03 11:38:39
Embarrassing.   There are no other words to describe it. Maybe a few choice words that shouldn’t appear in print, but that one word pretty much sums it up.   The game wasn’t close. It wasn’t supposed to be close. And through three quarters, it looked like, despite the lack of any offensive rhythm from Jonathan Crompton, the Volunteers [...]

Miami Bound - The BCS Hunt - Week 6

Week 6 did not show much of a change from the previous week’s rankings in the USA Today Polls. The only movement was a flip flop of the number 2 and 3 ranked teams. This week will warrant more of a change than that though. I will not spoil it by saying the reasons here, [...]
