About

I generally love all sports, but have a passion for college football. Moving from Arizona to Texas three years ago has given me a better appreciation of how the game impacts community, culture and lifestyle. I'm also a fan of the NFL and NBA. Published my own college football blog for three years in Phoenix, AZ, mainly focusing on the BCS and the Fiesta Bowl.

    You are INSANE! Texas A&M will be underdogs in 8+ of the games on its schedule: Arkansas, at Oklahoma State, Mizzou, Texas Tech with Tuberville, at Kansas with Turner Gill's stud staff, OU, Nebraska, and against UT. That doesn't even count at Baylor (where we lost two years ago 41-21), with the Bears getting their 5-star QB back after missing last season. Sherman, at best, will go 6-6 in the regular season, get blown out again in a bowl, and have his 3rd consecutive losing season with an overall losing record of 58% of his games. Remember, Sherman has only won ONE game on the road in 2 YEARS. Plus he is on track to recruit OUTSIDE the ESPN Top 25 for the 2nd time in 3 years. OU, UT, Texas Tech, OSU, Nebraska, Mizzou, and Arkansas are now recruiting far better than A&M (not to mention UH). So if the other teams have done better the last few years, have better coaches, and better recruits ... why do you think we will magically revenue the Decade of Despair under A.D. Bill Byrne and Medicare Mike Sherman?!? CoachesHotSeat.com has it right.

    I have just published a battle cry for (LSU) Tiger Nation. It's a must read for Tiger fans and it might be my best literary effort to date, I hope everyone will enjoy regardless of team or sport affiliation.
