Yeah, that's what I've been hearing on the local radio shows (ESPN & Fox Sports) here as well. Texas has a huge football banquet tomorrow night and it could be a "going-away" party for Mack (should he decide to step down).
Players can voluntarily use the facilities as much as they want. The limit is for coach organized activities.
And yes it was Rich Rod at Michigan...
the path to "the playoff" is easier from the B12. that's what its all about now, making that Final Four.
Depends on if they get Jimbo Fisher or not.
How awkward would that be, to offer Fisher before the National Championship game?
The Roanoke one has a better design, easier reader comment function. But that means I also have to deal with all those commenters, 95% of which I loathe.
The site's all changing in a couple weeks anyway, though.
I'm pretty sure they make Texas drivers eat a bucket full of lead paint chips before they issue driver's licenses
I'm pretty sure they just feed them that as kids. Apparently it "builds character"
I went to Thomas Johnson High School, we played against Walter Johnson in the state finals for soccer. We got our entire section to chant "Bigger Johnson" for about 5 minutes, our principal was not too pleased but we thought it was hilarious.
Adam Spolane of SportsRadio 610 (CBS Houston) says Mack Brown will resign on Friday: http://houston.cbslocal.com/2013/12/12/source-mack-brown-to-resign-frida...
A better metric might be the graduation rate of players that don't leave early for the NFL. I still think the likes of LSU would fall far short.
That said, many moons ago, I was in an advanced writing class taught by, well, let's just say it is one of VT's bigger faculty stars. Several football players were taking the class as well.
And by "taking" I mean sitting in about as many days as they weren't, turning in rubbish papers on occasion, and enjoying very soft grading that the regular students weren't afforded, (and to the credit of most of us, didn't want.)
I'm not going to get any more specific than that, as I truly respect the faculty member outside of this one practice, and when the players were actually in class, the professor did manage to get them to participate in activities rather than let them just sit there and act like it was a waste of their time.
Point being, even though our grad rate by every metric is better than most others, there is often a different grading scale at play between athletes and the regular student body.
I've heard all the excuses about how some people should be afforded more lenient grading due to background and such, but certainly my background as a poor person with crappy no-advanced math from small-town Va wasn't good enough to get me a free pass in 5 hour calc and keep me in Engineering, where I was getting A's & B's.
But for all the flaws, at least we can always take pride that we aren't a public Ivy like UNC with fake classes invented just for athletes.
All hat, as they say, and no catel.
The thought around here (Austin) is that Mack Brown is slowing the process down for Saban to be hired. ESPN Austin has been naming every coach and their mother as a candidate for the next HC at UT.
Don't forget a blown time out.

No, will you break it down for me?
I have a friend named Peter Johnson who was referred to as Dick Dick by his fraternity.
What about former Virginia Tech WR, Richard Johnson? Am I the only one that giggled every time he caught a pass?
Ok, so the scariest environment imaginable. Thanks, that's all you gotta say. Scariest environment imaginable.
This would be the Ron Burgundy of the College Football Coaching World.
And the running back position ceased to exist in the state of North Dakota

I wondered why all of the UVA players wore white towe-errr i mean, flags on thier hip....
I threw 4 picks against goal line defense against my roommate once. I am not good at Madden.
Edmunds was a good back for us and the best we had but by no means was he a Ryan Williams this season. Marshawn could be better and if that is the case I want Edmunds at LB. If the OL isn't opening holes it won't matter who the RB is and if they are opening holes then it doesn't matter who the RB is. We have a serious need at LB and significant depth at RB. I have 0 problems if they moved him to LB right now.
