But before the polls and the computer algorithms and the recriminations can be considered, the Longhorns (10-1 Overall / 6-1 Big 12) have a game to play (and win). Texas is heavily favored in a Thanksgiving night matchup with Texas A&M (7 pm, ESPN), but as Aggie fans are quick to point out, their team has beaten the Longhorns two years in a row. more ›

Ah, the fates are fickle. Regardless of how you feel about him, you have to admit he is a pretty sharp guy with a good mind for public relations. more ›
