Chris Fowler is interviewing the president of the Heisman Trust at 3:30 EST (I believe) today...I guess that means like, right now?
EDIT: Yes, right now.

I hate to see Saunders go, but as Travis Haney said, the writing was on the wall. Time for DiMarco and Cunningham to step up!

Texas has been robbed of 2 heismans in half a decade. VY and Colt McCoys junior years should have won them each a heisman. But VY didn't win the national championship till after the vote and Colt McCoy in his junior year....well he beat Bradford in pass percentage and head to head but the heisman committee doesn't care about facts. Am I bitter? hell yeah I am.

A friend of mine who's back in school getting a graduate degree called me last night from Raiderville, the campout for the best student tickets at Texas Tech games. Since this week is Texas week, I knew it would be pretty crazy, but I didn't expect it would be this crazy:
-He said the first campers started setting up Sunday night. When he called, there were like 450 tents out there already, and almost 1800 students signed in as "citizens" of Raiderville. That was on Tuesday night.
-He said the partying was pretty ridiculous, but everyone keeps it fairly low-key, respectful of the neighbors, and keeps the hardcore partying in the tents. "What happens in the tent, stays in the tent," aparently. The PD hasn't really bothered anybody, nor have they had to.
-He was surprised how many girls were already there...usually they just try to ride in on some guy's coattails, maybe just staying a night or two before the game for fun, but they've changed the system this year, so that it rewards people who actually stay there, minus the hours that most classes are going on. This certainly makes the partying better, but I'm sure the hardcore guys miss their stag night a little too.
_The weather has been perfect for staying overnight in the tent. Upper 70's at night, dropping to the high 60's in the morning.
-As far as GAF's traditional interests are concerned, he this year, there's more electronics at the Raiderville campground than a Best Buy. Last year a few people had HDTVs and stuff. This year, you can go from tent-to-tent until you find someone watching the show or movie you want to watch, or the video game you want to play, or the band you want to hear.
-He said they moved it to a much nicer area this year. They aren't just out there baking on the asphalt in the parking lot in front of the stadium. This area has grass and trees, and facilities available. They can do this, because they can keep track of who's there by the students who run Raiderville swiping your student ID at random times in the after/before class times--evening, night and early morning--to see who is actually there. You collect more swipes, you get closer to the front of the line when they line up for tickets on gameday.
-He Twittered this afternoon that a bunch of the coaches from various athletic programs had come by the camp and delivered pizzas for lunch. Sucks that they came around when hardly anyone was there. Most were either in class or out getting a bite already. But then again, they don't probably want to be around Raiderville at night, so it's understandable.
...
So it sounds like it's going to be another great Gameday atmosphere at The Jones for the Longhorns vs. The Red Raiders. I was kinda worried, since I hadn't heard much hype for this game, and since I thought 2008 could never be topped, this might be a letdown, but it sounds like the students are pumped for this one.
One thing that will be topped since the 2008 game--the stadium has been expanded.
If Mack Brown and the Horns thought it was loud two years ago...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcW7Up7nIaU (Warning...speakers may blow)
...wait 'till they hear what adding a giant wall on one side of the stadium, a partial bowl, and 10,000 more seats sounds like.
Have fun in Lubbock, 'Horns, but not as much fun as we do! Can't wait for the game. Brian Duncan looks pumped, are you?
Now fuck off, because I'm not saying anything nice to any Horns for the rest of the week!

I thought you were a Horn, not an Aggie, Chaos. Are you going to start calling us "Tceh" too? 'Cause that's another one of their really clever jabs, too.
I understand why Aggies are jealous of our female situation, and have to downplay us. We have the hottest girls, and they have "females" and goats. But you guys actually have some hotties. I should know, I live in Austin and see them every day.
Shit, I said something nice again, to a Horn...
Now fuck off, it's Texas week, jackhole!

Exactly. If the vote had been close then maybe I'd buy this, but it wasn't at all. And you can't retroactively assume he should have won it based on a MNC game in which his knee was down. The award is based on regular season play. VY got the MNC trophy and game MVP, what more does he need?

Thought on Week #3 Match-ups:
- GT v UNC was tough to pick, but UNC only has 1 player back from the probe
D). Could go either way. - I expect Pelini's squad to keep LOLcker in check.
- UF will continue to roll until simply because they have a good coach and more talent than nearly every team they will face.
- USC should win until they face a solid defense. Possible upset here.
- FSU is 3-0 all-time versus BYU. Expect FSU to get the jump on them early and force BYU to make mistakes. FSU is better team than they showed last week.
- No clue on UT v TTU....like UF, I expect Texas to roll simply because of better talent and good coaching. Possible upset here
- No clue on ND v MSU either. But no D-Rob on the MSU team makes me think ND can win.
The plan really makes perfect sense--the reason home-field advantage works is because the other team is intimidated. Everybody knows that!mre said:
And it's especially ingenious, because nothing is more intimidating than organized silence!
(Note to student government: psst... it's because the opposing offense has trouble calling plays and communicating when it's so damn loud... fucking morons.)

ESPN did an in depth look at how Texas prepares for cream puffs, and its quite interesting. Plus, Mack Brown is a charismatic sonuvabitch: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=texasfootball&num=1

Shit, if we knew we just had to ask, we would have done it years ago!
Texas Tech students getting ready for a big game or a cesspool getting ready for a riot.. is there much of a difference?
I've seen cinder blocks thrown at our team bus. I've had rows of bleachers thrown at me when I went to UT. An entire row of bleachers. Which would be impressive if they had not previously ripped out a goal post, marched it across the field and assaulted the visting section with it after a game.

Wow...that is pretty awesome in a train-wreck kind of way.
I always have a reserved confidence when it comes to BYU against tough opponents, but I'm really not feeling too good about the game with FSU this weekend. Last year was just a mess, and we were a much better team last season than we are this season. I know that last year was just the team on a real down week, but I still don't think they match up well against FSU this year in any aspect. Speed is always the biggest killer for BYU, and that's something that FSU always has.

Bleachers got thrown into a UT student section while I was at the game, would have been my lat year there.. so Senior year, 2004 game. That would have been the same game where cinder blocks were thrown. It wasn't the team bus though, I mispoke (mistyped). It was our 18 wheeler. It had the bad taste to be parked near the students before they let the students into the game.
And what their "goal" was with the goalposts, they wound up being shoved into the visting fan base. I mean, look they are Tech students. It's entirely plausible that they mistook the stands for an exit. They are going to Tech for a reason.

Well there are not quite the "big name" match ups that we had last week, but still there are some very intriguing games, foremost for me is the Iowa v. Arizona game. I think Iowa is a very good team, and would put UA in the top 3-4 in the Pac10, maybe a notch below Iowa as a team, but playing at home could be the equalizer here. Plus, maybe its just me but it seems like the late night west coast games often turn out to be classics pretty often. Cannot wait to see this game.
I would say that the second most intriguing game for me is the Texas - T Tech game. Not a fan of UT, but Mack is a coach, along with his program, that I have a lot of respect for.

I was at every event you mentioned. I was in the crowd of students before they got in to that UT game in 2004, only 15 yards or so from the truck itself; I was sitting with the students only a couple of sections away from the visitor section during the game; and I was on the field when the goalposts went into the Aggie visitor section.StoOgE said:Bleachers got thrown into a UT student section while I was at the game, would have been my lat year there.. so Senior year, 2004 game.

There were no cinder blocks thrown at the truck, and no one was "throwing" bleachers anywhere, they were removing broken objects from the student section. Those things are awkward as hell to move through a huge crowd, and I wouldn't put aside the possibility that during the moving process part of them ended up in the UT section, but the idea that a student section could actually maliciously throw an entire row of bleachers at the visitor's section without any kind of fight breaking out or any kind of video or headline hitting the news is absurd.
