My cue to stop reading any political blog post

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 14:31:18 -0600

When a blog post begins this way, it's a great time saver for me: I just got off a blogger conference call.... When that pops up in the feedreader, I know it's safe to move on to whatever is next without wasting any more time.

Blogger space? Power strips?

The Annise Parker mayoral campaign has done pretty decent new-media outreach. They sent out this info last night about their watch party: The Annise Parker Campaign will be hosting the Election Party at the Hilton Americas on Tuesday at 7pm on the...

Big 12 Wrap: Week 9

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 22:18:34 -0600

Let's see if I can actually get this thing from editor to blog without losing it this week.... Texas 41, Oklahoma State 14 It was a Halloween of horrors for Boone Pickens State in general and QB Zac Robinson in particular. It does not appear any...

Big 12 Wrap: Week 8

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:51:15 -0500

Umm... So, I remember typing out a real Week 8 wrap on Sunday in my html editor.... and I was fairly certain I posted it. But I just glanced on the front page today, and no post.... and I don't seem to have saved it from my editor either. Weird....

Big 12 Wrap: Week 7

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:06:31 -0500

Sorry, I kinda forgot to do the wrap this week as life has been busy busy busy. Here's an abbreviated version: Texas squeaked to a victory despite a fine defensive effort from an otherwise depleted and overmatched Oklahoma team in the Cotton Bowl....

Big 12 Wrap: Week 6

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:37:23 -0500

This was kind of a fun week in a down conference.... Texas 38, Colorado 14 The Big 12's only great team had a slow first half, then turned it on. They surely will come out focused and romp at the Red River get together Saturday (we don't expect a...

Big 12 Wrap: Week 5

Mon, 5 Oct 2009 08:10:11 -0500

It's a belated wrap this week, due to travel, web moves, and general disinterest in a conference that's down.... But here are the games. Miami 21, Oklahoma 20 Oklahoma fails its second test of the season to determine whether it belongs in the Top...

Big 12 Wrap: Week 4

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:41:55 -0500

Because I'm about a day-and-a-half behind on all things and seemingly not gaining ground, the best I can do this week is this placeholder. BUT.... if you're seeing this post, you should be seeing the blog on its new webhost. So that's something, r...

Big 12 Wrap: Week 3

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:21:24 -0500

It's Week 3 in the Big 12... Texas 34, Texas Tech 24 Texas gets "revenge" I guess. Not a bad effort from Leach's crew, though. Look for lots of points to be scored in Houston next week. Oklahoma 45, Tulsa 0 Strong performance from an improving O...

Big 12 Wrap: Week 2

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 21:57:29 -0500

We'll just crowdsource the editing up front after last week's terrible effort. Please let me know what I've left out or screwed up, and we'll correct it quickly. :) Thanks! Substantively: In Week 2, I think we learned that the conference has falle...
