About this Blog

The past 10 years of my life (dating then marriage) have been with a wonderful woman, but she and her family are BIG fans of the University of Texas. Her dad, my father-in-law is a graduate of the school from the “glory days” of Earl Campbell. I have had the great privilege for the past 5 football seasons of being a frequent guest of his (and his season tickets) to most of the UT football and a few UT basketball games. I am not a Longhorn fan. Much to my in-laws chagrin, I am not really a fan of any team. I am generally an objective person, and in football, more so. My father coached high school football in Texas while I was growing up. As a coach, you cannot be too much of a fan of any one team because they may your opponent the next year. Your loyalty cannot lie so much with the University of Texas (or any school) that a phone call and job offer to coach football at Texas A&M (or any other school) is not something most coaches would turn down! Therefore, though I love football, I am an objective observer to UT athletics and will blog from that viewpoint. Please join me as we discuss UT football, coaches, players, recruits, and the like. Along the way (because there are a lot of days between early January and late August), we might even chat about those lesser sports (a bit of sarcasm from the beginning) basketball, baseball, track and field, or the like. If we get real bored, we might even talk about the country club sports like tennis, golf, or swimming (which I have heard UT does pretty decent in…) The Objective Eyes of Texas are upon You!
