Last Saturday, as Colt McCoy's passes floated in the thin Wyoming air and the senior quarterback was struggling through a first-half performance that was not up to his usual high standards, an old and feared monster reared its head: The Fickle Fan.

Each Friday, we'll be offering up a sampling of Longhorn- and Big 12-related sports coverage making its way around the Web. This week: Lots of watch-lists, lots of camp coverage, and lots of rankings.

Before the season began, many people felt Texas would have a loss or two by this point in the season. Instead, the 8-0 Longhorns find themselves the No. 1 team in the country after notching impressive wins over highly ranked teams. Quarterback Colt McCoy is the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy and with a win on Saturday, Texas can see a clear path to the national championship game.

Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium TV: KVUE (ABC) Radio: KVET (98.1 FM, 1300 AM) As the Kansas State Wildcats come to town this week, the Texas Longhorns insist they don't have revenge on their minds, but it would be easy to allow them that sentiment.

This is the first in our Longhorn player profile series, leading up to the season-opening game on Sept. 1. The enduring images from Colt McCoy's first season as the starting quarterback of the Texas Longhorns are a study in contrasts. On one hand, there was the sight of him winging a school-record six touchdowns in a single game against Baylor and battling the snow and wind to put the Longhorns in position for a come-from-behind...

No one has had their fame stripped away from them in such short order as UT quarterback, Colt McCoy. The red-shirt freshman out of Tuscola, Texas had the enormously unfortunate job of replacing the most famous (and entertaining) Texas football athlete of the modern era--Vince Young. As that January 4th hangover started to wear off, Texas fans were uncertain as to who would replace VY during the preseason, McCoy or true freshman Jevan Snead....

The supernannies are coming! Coach Mack Brown has given Colt McCoy the green light to play this Friday against the Aggies. Peter Jackson will not be directing the movie based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel “The Hobbit” or a planned prequel to “The...

Texas may be trotting out a freshman quarterback (Colt McCoy) for the first time in years, but the team is still extremely solid. The defensive line may be the best in the country, the wide receiving corps may be the deepest in school history and, despite the fact that another UT running back (Ramonce Taylor) had a run-in with the weed over the off-season, the tailback position is well staffed, as well.

Is it a coincidence that one day after The University of Texas is named #1 Party School In The Nation, the school offers a campaign aimed at tackling drunk and inappropriate fan behavior?

Good news for Colt McCoy and the rest of Longhorn Nation. Junior offensive tackle Justin Blalock used his few minutes of speaking time at Sunday night's pep rally celebration to let everyone know that he'll be back for his senior season. The Third-Team All America helped anchor one of the best offensive lines in school history for a team that set an NCAA record for points scored in a season. Blalock explained his decision:
