Saturday Scrimmage?

[North Texas Shep]

Are they doing what they did last year? I need my football fix.

Here's something from the NYT I found to help on this slow Saturday...

" ...decades of mediocrity in major sports, with the lows far outnumbering the highs. Then, before the 2008 season, the university hired Art Briles as its football coach. And things changed.

"Mr. Briles was Texas to the core — a quarterback for his father at Rule High School, a wide receiver at the University of Houston and a coach at five Texas high schools before he entered the college ranks. Along the way, he devised an explosive offensive system that seemed to attack the end zone on every snap.

"He inherited a Baylor program that had not had a winning season since 1995. What’s more, schools like Baylor, then a second-tier choice for top recruits in one of the country’s most football-mad states, rarely experience quick turnarounds. But the new coach pulled it off; by his third year, the Bears were winning more than they lost.

"The university and its alumni responded, reportedly paying the charismatic Mr. Briles one of the highest salaries in college sports and embarking upon a fund-raising campaign that led to the $266 million construction of McLane Stadium — a breathtaking football cathedral that abuts the Brazos River and Interstate 35."

    It is a lengthy but thorough and well written article and it might satisfy a      temporary fix. I'd say a textbook of exactly what not to do:
