Texas is big and beautiful and weird, especially, at times, most of the time, actually, East Texas.

A Denton, Texas judge explains how he and his old 1980s frat bros on a group trip stumbled across a Colorado playbook in a Boulder hotel, with his guy VivaTerlingua trying to stir it up amid his fears of a Mike Leach-style “lost” playbook scheme. espn.com/college-football/st…

The Texas Quote of the Day: "Darrell Royal wasn't speaking to me and I had nothing to say to him, but both of us were trying to conduct a conversation with President Ford. As we became visible walking toward the field, there is some old redneck drunk Okie (obviously) who stands up several rows behind us and roars in this voice you can hear all the way out to the 50-yard line on both the east and the west side, 'Who are those two **sholes with Switzer?'" ----- Barry Switzer, former coach of the Oklahoma Sooners, in his autobiography "Bootlegger's Boy," 1990. Background: President Gerald Ford had showed up to watch the Texas-OU game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, 1976. This was after Darrell Royal had accused the Sooners of spying on his practices. Royal didn't want to be anywhere with Barry Switzer, but when the President of the United States shows up, you do what you have to do to make nice. As you can see, Royal doesn't look too happy in the photo.

A day on tour in Kinnick Stadium tailgate lots with Van Hayden, the world’s greatest (and only) Van Halen/Hayden Fry tribute band made up of cargo-shorts Midwest dads living their rock and roll and Hawkeyes dreams and everybody wants some. @vanhaydenband espn.com/college-football/st…

They needed a singer, then remembered Robby did the Thriller dance at his sister’s Hawkeyes tailgate and thought “say no more.” I asked Robby why he happened to be doing this to begin with, and his answer made perfect sense.

Would be a newsworthy event
OU fans: in case of victory Saturday, skip the goal posts and head straight for Big Tex. We’re tearing him down and dumping him in the Trinity River.

Houston Christian’s stadium is definitely the closest to a CVS.
Hey @SickosCommittee is Tulsa’s H.A. Chapman Stadium the closest CFB venue to a Taco Bell?

Ethan was shot while trying to get away to protect his aunt and his 3-year-old niece in the back seat. After months trying to regain his speech, he called and asked, “Tell me. Did I save y’all? I just wanted you to know that I did my best for you.”
On Aug. 31, 2025, Florida State LB Ethan Pritchard was shot in the head in a case of mistaken identity. For 30 days, he lay in a coma. Then he opened his eyes. This is how a miracle happened. espn.com/college-football/st…

Covered the 1994 Kilgore-Blinn game right before Willie got Michael Bishop and the Buccaneers rolling. Good story by Mike on a a coach’s coach.
Willie Fritz' former players love telling war stories. But they love him even more. “I think it is a shame that he doesn’t get the flowers that he should." On the best coach in college football that no one talks about. #GoCoogs texasfootball.com/article/20…

After Oklahoma State shocked Oregon, Eric Morris celebrated his first win with a Coors Banquet. Then he sat down in a seat overlooking Boone Pickens Stadium and explained to me how @CowboyFB bounced back and pulled off a historic upset: espn.com/college-football/st…
