This info comes to us by way of The Daily Texan, who has the info up on their sports blog, Views From the Press Box.

Apparently the Texan got a tip from an email signed “concerned citizen and undergraduate.” The email depicts Chiles riding in a vehicle with a teammate and slapping a woman inside. This is still unconfirmed. (more…)

The Longhorns were named the No. 5 team today after Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA. This was probably done assuming D.J. Augustin and Damion James are coming back. Augustin said after receiving the Bob Cousy Award on Monday that the decision would be tough and he’d have a decision in a week or two.

Without Augustin, Texas’ stock drops severely.

This is a little unexpected for local media, as Feldhaus is a notoriously bad SID in terms of returning phone calls and emails from reporters, let alone setting up interviews. Part of the problem, though, is Feldhaus is also the SID for the men’s and women’s golf teams and tennis teams. No other SID has more than two teams to themselves, whereas Feldhaus has six. (more…)

Sounds like he’s a little less sure than he was earlier this year when he said he was staying in Austin for next year. Augustin also said he’d have a decision “a week or two.” He has until April 27 to put his name in for the draft. (more…)

After redshirting a year and watching classmate John Chiles ascend to the backup position, G.J. Kinne announced through a Texas media relations press release that he wants to transfer but hasn’t picked a new destination.

“I chose the best school at what was the end of a very successful, but difficult high school career,” Kinne said in the release. “I have definitely become a better quarterback with the help of one of the most knowledgeable offensive coaches in college football, Greg Davis. However, the quarterback position is unique in terms of playing time, and I have to find a program that best fits my skills.” (more…)

Dodds also said the game, which is the return trip for Arkansas after this season’s game in Fayetteville, won’t be played in Austin until after the 2013 season.

Texas filled out what could’ve been an interesting 2009 non-conference schedule with … Louisiana-Monroe (home), Wyoming (away), Central Florida (home) and Floria Atlantic (home). (more…)

This win, just his second-career over Federer, comes on the heels of his announcement in Sports Illustrated that he’s marrying a swimsuit model.

We wish the best for Roddick and hope the wins and a successful engagement continue.

The symposium is also a big reason why we didn’t have any posts up earlier today.

Also, we have gotten a few comments correcting our posts, and we love it. Seriously, one of the things we’ve never quite liked about blogs as opposed to more formal news organizations is the lack of an editing process. So we’re glad you all are helping us, and we apologize for the sloppiness lately.

So, no more hometown Astros, Rockets or Texans coverage for you Houstonians out there living in the Capitol City. To be clear, you won’t be getting this Sunday’s paper.

According to the letter, “economic factors caused this decision; specifically, extremely high transportation costs, driven by gasoline prices.”

We have a feeling the dying out of printed news products is more the root of this problem, but we do appreciate a soid explanation. In the end, though, blaming gas prices is placing the responsibility somewhere else instead of facing the truth about the industry. (more…)

It’s not known yet whether or not it was steroids, narcotics or some good-ole-fashioned marijuana. Either way, he didn’t make the trip to San Antonio, and it sucks for him and the Memphis team that this came out today.

Allen only played 12 minutes and scored just three points against Texas last week, so there is absolutely no reason to think there’s anything fishy about the Memphis players or that they somehow had their performance enhanced. So don’t say it, for our sake and everyone else. (more…)
