  1. Jalen will be just fine. He is tough and his feet are unhappy. His mind is serene. He's the only college or pro football player or coach I have ever heard use work "stoic" in an interview (postgame 2016 SECCG). I am not, however, familiar with all Mike Leach interviews.
  2. The former M Creosote here, pleased to discover, after so many months of mourning its demise that Shaggdom yet lives. If I can cipher out the combination on how to get my old name back I'll shed this temporary sobriquet. I was at the double watershed 2009 UT/Bama game and I'll tell you one thing Mack or the Horns' special teams coach did well. Bama had the national punt return leader, Javier Arenas, a points maker extraordinare, a field flipper. On that night, fateful in so many other ways, ole Mack took Bama's return game "right off" like Ned Beatty's painties. Arenas needed like only nine or eleven return yards to set some kind of record. He did not get them, much less flip a field or take one back for a score. Every kickoff was a sky kick, the first of which Bama booted, and every punt but a couple was long and out of bounds. I've been watching Bama since 1956 and that was the most effective defensive kicking I've seen. The Horns now remind me of Tuscaloosa before Saban. Great fans yearning for a return to what was once called glory. All we wanted was to sniff it again. It clicked about halfway through his second year. I hope it clicks for Texas this year as well. Looking forward to an epic home and home.
