NCAA seeks to rule on M. Williams quickly

The NCAA might be in big trouble by now. I haven't seen any news about it but Texas' Mike Williams (no relation to the other Mike Williamses.) was supposed to have a hearing this morning with the University to decide whether or not he should be eligible. The NCAA has been dragging their feet and dragging Williams through the mud with no proof and no hurry.

Hopefully this will be resolved with the kid's best interest in mind.

The other great debate

Everyone is talking about who should be ranked number 1 and number 2, and which of the three undefeated teams is going to be left out. The race for who is number 4 is actually much closer, and the consequences of being left out are much worse.

Texas gains on Cal in latest BCS

Texas is now only .0013 points behind Cal in the latest BCS poll released today. A loss or even a close win by them next weekend versus a crappy Southern Miss team could cause Texas to jump them and head to the Rose Bowl.

Eli Manning to start for NY Giants

Eli Manning has been named the starting QB for the New York Giants this week. I'm not sure why, if the offensive line could protect Kurt Warner at all he would be having a pretty decent season. All I care about is how this affect my fantasy team. Will they give Tiki Barber the ball more? Will teams gang up to stop the run and force the rookie to beat them. Damnit there are fantasy playoffs to consider here!

Latest BCS standings released

Latest BCS standings are out and as expected Texas is screwed. Utah is sixth and Cal is fourth, therefore both would currently be guaranteed at-large spots and we would be left out.

Bevo Beat

Okay, yeah it's a pretty lame name but it's actually usually a pretty good read. "Bevo Beat" is a blog from the Austin-American Statesman covering UT athletics. It's written by all the beat writers that cover the Horns on a daily basis, so it often has some interesting stuff. It's just random news, observations, and opinions but I enjoy it.

Update:Berg and I have started our own Longhorns sports weblog with an equally lame name, check us out at BevoSports.com. (8/29/2005)

D-Backs fire Backman after 4 days

The Arizona Diamondbacks hired Wally Backman without doing a background check. Now after the recent revelations about his history, he's been fired.

Just a couple days ago Diamondbacks' officials stated they would have hired him even if they did know about his history. Why the change in opinion?
Not to be too judgemental, but he does kinda look like white trash. I guess years and years of chewing tobacco isn't good for your smile after all.

QB attempts 101 passes

Jesus, that's a lot of pass attempts in one game, the previous record was 92 attempts. I wonder how many times they ran the ball.

Lensch completed 56 passes for 507 yards and two touchdowns, with three interceptions, and remarkably was not sacked. He is averaging 59 attempts and 308 yards passing this season for Dana College, a 500-student NAIA school in Blair, Neb.

To put that in perspective, Texas quarterback Vince Young has attempted 143 passes all season!

The candidates on sports

It may be too late to sway your vote, but check out where Bush and Kerry stand on sports-related issues such as steroids and Pete Rose.

There's a quote from Kerry claiming he was at the Red Sox vs. Mets game in `86 when the ball went through Buckner's legs. I remember hearing a report claiming it was impossible for him to have been there because there was proof he was in some place else that evening.
