Staff and Wire ReportSAN ANTONIO -- Oklahoma State defender Carson Michalowski headed in a corner kick from Colleen Dougherty in the 53rd minute Sunday and the Cowgirls defeated Texas A&M 1-0 to win the Big 12 Conference soccer tournament at the ...

1. Colt McCoy, Texas–McCoy is coming off a 470-yard outburst against UCF.  On the year, he is completing 73 percent of his passes for 2,447 yards, 17 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.  He is on pace to have 3,534 yards, 25 touchdowns and 13 interceptions by the time the Heisman vote is due.  His re...

2. Weird point spreads. Late moves in point spreads could point to Vegas wisdom that somehow escaped most of us. Oklahoma opened as a 5 1/2-point over Nebraska. That line is now 4. And the line in Texas A&M-Colorado has moved from Aggies by 5 1/2 to 3. Based on the eye test, the Sooners and Aggies...

Our beaver pelt trader of the week is, be still my beating heart, my coaching crush Mike Leach. As if it weren't enough that he went on "Friday Night Lights" -- spoiler alert, I have to wait until January to watch the show because I don't have DirecTV -- after the loss to Texas A&M, Leach bla...

Of course, that assumes the oddsmakers have got this weekend pegged and that's no certainty. Kansas is less than a field goal favorite over Kansas State in Manhattan this weekend. Oklahoma is seeing their spread over Nebraska dwindle to four and half points in some places. Texas A&M has...

Granted, there have only been six games since that day against teams ranked in the top 20 in Lincoln. There were losses to #7 Texas and #13 Colorado in 2002, a loss to #15 Texas Tech in 2005, another loss to #5 Texas in 2006, a loss to #1 USC in 2007, and a loss to #4 Missouri in 2008. And there were a pa...

Ingram may control his Heisman destiny, but McCoy is there to potentially pick up the pieces if the Alabama running back falls apart.  A favorable schedule the rest of the way seems to point to Texas ending up undefeated and McCoy finishing strong.  If Ingram slips up, McCoy is in the best pos...

Scott, ranked as the top running back prospect in the nation as a California high school senior in 2007, announced he will transfer. He chose Colorado after a recruiting tug-of-war with Texas. He came to Colorado overweight, and struggled with injuries.

Texas Tech coach Mike Leach took advantage of his team's off-week to get the full multimedia treatment during a visit to the ESPN studios Monday. Here's an interview with him. Leach was also a presence at Texas A&M's press conference Monday, at least by inference if not by name.

This was a meeting of the Big 12 South's two top teams, but it was clear from the outset the Longhorns are by far supreme as they took a major step in locking up the division title while staying in step for the coveted BCS championship bid. Texas (8-0, 4-0) just needs to run the table against Bayl...

ESPN puts out weekly college bowl projections. Guess where they have the Huskers? Bruce Feldman has Nebraska sitting home over the holidays with Texas A&M, Colorado and Baylor. Mark Schlabach thinks Nebraska is Independence Bowl bound (and Missouri ends up missing a bowl game). It's...

Naaaah. —Bizarre turnaround of the week:  Kansas State goes from being crushed 66-14 by Texas Tech to doing some smashing of its own in a 62-14 romp over Texas A&M.   Can Mike Sherman be long for College Station? Rose Bowl–Iowa vs. Oregon Fiesta Bowl–Texas vs. TCU

4. Speaking of a ship that may be sinking ... yeah, that's a transition to Texas A&M. At worst, I figured the Aggies could get two or three wins against the worst of the North and get to a bowl. After Saturday's 62-14 loss at Kansas State, the Aggies could be descending beyond the 2008 depths. "We g...

Texas Tech's Mike Leach is a different kind of coach. And while many people are defined by what they are, Leach at times seems defined by what he lacks. Tact, for example. While most coaches would be careful about taunting other programs, Leach seems to go out of his way to put down Texas A&M....

Well, the trio took it to a ridiculous level Saturday as the receivers bested each other during the Jayhawks' 41-31 win over Iowa State. First Briscoe set the school record for career receptions, then Meier jumped ahead of him. Meier, a converted quarterback, has 167 career catches while B...

2. The selling point of the coaches poll is that the guys in the headsets and school colors know more than the rest of us casual observers. I would agree when it comes to football knowledge and next week's opponent. When it comes to the best teams nationwide, I would dispute it. If the starting poi...

Sloan is reportedly very fast. No doubt, that's why he's been so highly rated. But he's also a bit undersized at 5'9". Look at the other schools who have offered him scholarships to date: Mississippi, Mississippi State, Hawaii, Kentucky, Texas A&M and Nebraska. Sure those aren't terrib...

1. The invaluable College Football Talk did some sleuthing and discovered where those two first-place votes for Texas originated in the AP poll. It was nowhere close to the Lone Star State. Think Pittsburgh and Raleigh. And another voter apparently hasn't flipped the calendar, with Utah No....

Getting wins in the Big 12 has seldom seemed tougher. OU and Texas recruit as well as any teams in the country. And then teams like Texas A&M, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Colorado, Missouri, and Texas Tech that creep into the top 25 of recruiting rankings. Then you’ve got a team like Kansas t...

The Texas A&M University Athletic Department is facing difficult economic decisions like many companies and universities across the United States. Charged by the University to reduce the budget by $4.5 million for the 2009-2010 fiscal year, our goal was to make spending cuts that w...

Kansas State's Morgan Moon and Texas A&M's Ashley Freeman are tied for second place at 1-under 72. The average individual score for the first round was 79.75. In the team standings, Oklahoma State (295, +3) holds a nine stroke lead over runner-up Texas ...

By Kevin McNeill Griffin should be back in the lineup for the matchup against Texas Tech on Saturday, but it may now be too late to salvage a Big 12 regular season title.  The Jayhawks final three games are against underachieving Texas Tech and Texas (at home) and a revenge game against arch-rival Missouri (...

By Chip Brown Texas established in victories against Oklahoma State and Colorado that it needs Dogus Balbay on the floor at point guard. So what happens in an 81-66 loss at Texas A&M? Balbay gets into early foul trouble, and the Longhorns struggled without him in a big setback. Now the team has to regr...

By Evan Dorey Texas A&M has a nice record and some decent wins, but a statistical look at the Aggies finds them sitting well behind the conference’s best teams, and doesn’t suggest they’ll be too competitive, especially with a difficult South division schedule. This is a critical game for A&M...

By Todd Wills Baylor and Texas A&M have a great thing going with this Battle for the Brazos rivalry. The chippiness of the players. The intensity of the coaches. But when you get into a rivalry game, and you talk openly about the fact there is no love lost between the players, and you have a faceoff early l...

By adam@thefire.org (Adam Kissel) Indeed, FIRE opened and closed 2008 with Texas on our mind. In January, Texas Southern University was FIRE’s Speech Code of the Month. Texas Southern’s Student Code of Conduct prohibits “intentional mental or physical harm,” which it defines as follows:

Style points matter in college football this time of year, especially in the Big 12 South, with three teams vying for a conference championship and the national title. However, Texas could beat the stuffing out of Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night and be left on the sideline without a ch...

By Bill Jempty Six college students commit plagiarism, which is defined as literary theft, but guess who ends up getting fired? Texas A&M International University in Laredo fired a professor for publishing the names of students accused of plagiarism.

INSIDE SLANT    On paper, last week's win over Texas A&M will go down as Baylor's fourth of Art Briles' first season as coach, and probably its final win of the 2008 football season. But that doesn't mean it wasn't important.   "First of all, it puts a good taste in our mouth, that, like, we...

Texas Tech @ Texas A&M » The Red Raiders were a few key plays away from coming off a disappointing loss last week. It probably sobered them up to the possibility that anyone can win at anytime in this league. Texas A&M was able to get their highest point total of the year against an porou...

By Keltic Gator At one time Florida had what was called the “Big 3″.  Currently there seems to be the “Big 1 and Little 4″.  Florida still dominates the television airwaves, the polls and the mouths of college football pundits but mostly from the current incarnation of the University of Florida.  Florida St...

By Kendall Rogers Texas winning conference titles in baseball is starting to feel like clockwork, as the Longhorns added another title to their lengthy list in 2007.

He was a great hire. Let's begin with that basic point. No matter how bitter you are, no matter how betrayed you feel, don't ever forget what Billy Gillispie did for Texas A&M. He left a blueprint for the lucky coach who follows him. Never again should Texas A&M take a backseat to Texas in...

Houston Chronicle says Texas A&M"s big bucks deal with basketball coach Billy Gillispie goes to private review by the university's governing board today, gets public approval Friday and then Gillispie signs Monday at opening of construction for a new arena. Who knows?

2. Please Forgive Me, Captain Kirk. Defensive specialist Dominique Kirk had two options coming out of Dallas Bryan Adams High: Texas A&M or Liberty University. What seemed like a reach at the time has turned out to be quite a hit as of late. Kirk scored 16 against Penn and followed it up with...

LEXINGTON, Ky. Acie Law was there when Texas Aamp;M hit bottom, wallowing through a winless Big 12 season three years ago, often wondering if hed made a mistake by choosing to play for the perennially underachieving Aggies.

You guys should know by now that I skim as many blogs around the country as I do so-called "mainstream" sites. So if you want to know what the blogosphere thinks about what should be a very entertaining and closely fought Texas A&M-Louisville second-round match, look here. And here.

Who has Texas A&M Corpus Christi fever?! For crying out loud, we're talking about the corpse of Christ, people! 3:11: Mike Brey reminds me a lot of Paul Giamatti. I think if Paul Giamatti was an NCAA head coach, he'd wear a blazer over a muck turtleneck.
