Better late than never -- here's a video clip of college football's play of the year. Last Saturday, players from San Antonio's Trinity University pitched the ball back and forth 15 times on the final play of the game to score a touchdown and defeat Millsaps College, 28-24. Just as amazing as watching the on-field action, where the play goes on for more than 60 seconds, is listening to the reaction of announcers Jonathan......

Sunday. Usually, a quiet, contemplative day in the Blogosphere. But not here in the Ist-a-Verse. Nonono! Just look below and see all of the wild and crazy stuff our staffs are up to. In Austin, bands are beginning to confirm for SXSW and the rumor mill is up and running. Good thing, too, because we all know how much Austinites love live performances. Austin also found itself in the national spotlight, with Longhorn Legend......

Photograph of Rick Santorum conceding defeat with his family by Gene J. Puskar/AP The -ists this week had politics on the brain. And what goes better with politics? Partying-- that's two great tastes in one. Oh, and Kevin Federline...can't forget about Kevin Federline. That's three great tastes in one. -Bostonist discussed two big state issues-- what sort of math constitutes a marriage and what kind of alcohol can be sold in most grocery stores.......

Let's take a look back at a week that raised this Zen koan: if Kevin Federline got into a wrestling ring with a wrestler, who would you root for? Austinist was in an entertainment state of mind as they covered the dickens out of the Austin Film Festival, depicted all the Big 12 football coaches as South Park characters, and interviewed Jose Gonzalez. Chicagoist talked about the passion as they bid adieu to Bell......

In Small Town Gay Bar, director Malcolm Ingram explores the lives of members of the gay community in the Backward South. A place where many people consider homosexuality a vile lifestyle choice at the least, and often a contemptible sin against God. The people featured in the movie do not have the luxury of myriad gay bars and gay-friendly townsfolk. Sadly, they are forced to hide their ‘sin’ at night in the small bars......

Ahhhh. Summertime youth baseball. We remember those wonder years when we took on the Yankees after a highly improbable season engineered by our drunken curmudgeon of a coach who, nowadays, would probably be executed on the spot by rabid soccer moms for yelling at errr.. "motivating" us. (Not to mention supplying us with, gasp, beer after our final game!) Do you remember that time when he recruited his ex-girlfriend's daughter, Amanda, to pitch and......

As coach Augie Garrido said in his post-game press conference, when a few people in the dugout asked why he was allowing his injured first baseman Chance Wheeless to stay in the game and bat in the ninth inning, he responded, "For Chris'sake, the kid wants to be a hero." And on an 0-1 count, the slugger's dream came true. He belted a fastball deep into the right field stands to beat the Baylor......

Benson was drafted by the Chicago Bears franchise and joins other former Longhorns Vance Bedoford and Nathan Vasher. Before making arrangements to get his favorite number from Todd Johnson (S), Benson was quoted as saying "We'll try to work it out, but if doesn't work out......
