vaughn on sports: Remarkable
http://vaughnonsports.blogspot.com/2009/01/remarkable.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2009. The 12-1 Texas Longhorns should get a few votes for #1 and a lot of votes for #2. Nothing original here but let's review reality, without coach speak, regarding this team's season. Not much of a running game. We saw glimpses of good from Chris Ogbonnaya. A short passing game. Two of the best possession receivers ever in Quan. Cosby and Jordan Shipley. Game Minor injuries and a Buck Buchanan brain hemorrhage. Damaged continuity and depth. Missouri, and Oklahoma State discs and ...

Sunday, December 14, 2008. Sam Bradford did not win one of those. Cheap' Heismans, and there have been a few. Sam Bradford is a superb player leading a superb team. But he has something in common with Reggie Bush. They both finished close Heisman races one spot ahead of University of Texas quarterbacks who deserve better. In Reggie's case, Vince Young proved on the playing field who was the better athlete, for all the world to see. Vince had the good fortune of meeting Reggie Bush head-to-head. Oklahoma ...

vaughn on sports: About the BBCS—Bowl Beauty Contest Series
http://vaughnonsports.blogspot.com/2008/12/about-bbcsbowl-beauty-contest-series.html
Thursday, December 11, 2008. About the BBCS—Bowl Beauty Contest Series. Joe Barton is a little behind the times but I like his idea anyway. Yesterday Texas Congressman Barton, ranking member of the U.S. House Commerce Committee, filed a bill that will make it illegal for the NCAA or BCS to call its post-season system a “championship.” His is the correct perspective on what is actually a beauty contest. Subdivision. By lesser schools, I mean the ones that never make the serious polls, that only get on...

http://vaughnonsports.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-coaches-poll.html
Monday, January 12, 2009. Why a Coaches Poll? Best question of the collegiate post season: "Why do the coaches have a post-bowl poll? Or maybe even, "Why do the coaches have a poll?
