The stage for a contentious in-state rivalry was set this Valentine’s Day in a matchup between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats. But it was no bed of roses for Kansas, as they became the latest number one seed to fall, losing 84-68 to the Wildcats in a Big 12 showdown.
 Kansas State, who had been unranked in...

This year Tom Brady became the first ever unanimous AP selection for the NFL MVP award. I would have to agree with those 50 voters. Brady had an unbelievable year by leading the league in passer rating and touchdowns. He led the Patriots to a league best 14-2 record and earned them the #1 seed in the AFC playoffs. What’s...
The Texas Longhorns are playing great basketball down the stretch of their season.
Since they lost to Connecticut on January 8, 2011, the Horns have won their last twelve games and beaten eleven out of twelve of their opponents by ten or more (the only exception was against Baylor and the Longhorns beat them by nine points).
Victories against Texas A&M,...
So I’m a measly 4-6 for my playoffs picks this year. If you’re starting to think I’m not qualified to make these picks, I understand. Hopefully this week I can change your mind.

It all comes down to this. The Packers and Steelers meet at the Death Star (Cowboy Stadium) this Sunday for Super Bowl...

The Packers and Bears are the oldest rivals in the NFL. They...
Well, I think we can all agree that firstly I am definitely not an NFL scout and secondly the art of scouting quarterbacks, even for professionals, is like trying to see when the digits of pi repeat. This is obviously a failed science and who knows; in three years we may be talking about how great Nathan Enderle is (he...
Cam Newton adds another trophy to his case--and another college football title-- accompanying the one he won with Florida two years ago and the one he earned in his Junior College championship at Blinn College.
Carrying the team for most of the season, Newton was glad to share the glory with freshman running back Michael Dyer, whose 37 yard...
The Texas House of Representatives sent a message of pragmatism and cooperation Tuesday by re-electing Rep. Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, as Speaker of the House.
Who could believe that Texas, a state that epitomizes hard-headedness and acts as a breeding ground for far-right thought, would set such a premium on compromise to get things done?
In the midterm elections, an...
