Given that Dallas fans are fanatical college football fans, this well thought out article is worth the read. There is a lot to debate on the expense allowance. See below for an excellent recap.
The Board did reaffirm the desire to provide a $2,000 “miscellaneous expense allowance” for athletes on full scholarship. The Board voted 14-4 to send it back to a work group to come up with the details of the allowance, and present it again in April. The stipend will probably go into effect during the 2013-14 academic year. Since the original proposal was passed by the NCAA last October, any who signed in November will receive the money they were promised. (more…)

Enter redshirt freshman Randy McEachern. For those of us at the game, there was that moment when Jon Aune tried to come back into the game. He dropped back to pass and his knee buckled. I felt sick for him and admired him for the courage to play knowing the extent of his injury.
This game was an exceptionally strong defensive battle – SEC style.

We respect Tony Dungy, so when we came across a video showcasing his predictions, we thought Dallas college football fans would like to see what the man had to say.
The Rose Bowl is the best BCS Bowl game period and this year the Wisconsin Badgers will play the Oregon Ducks. We took a look around the net to see what people were saying about the game and this is what we found. On the basis of uniforms alone, should the Ducks win?
We will be pulling for Oklahoma State to beat Stanford, but we came across a dissenting view as shown below.
As for the Orange Bowl, who cares? Well West Virginia plans on having some fun in Miami.
The Sugar Bowl features Michigan and Virginia Tech. Really?

In the latest saga that is Aggie, Texas A&M unceremoniously fired Coach Mike Sherman. Our burnt orange-tinted view is that Sherman is a class act. His firing is a good lesson in how not to treat people. We have heard from fifth hand sources, so read this with some degree of skepticism, that President Loftin told Bill Byrne to fire coach Sherman. Byrne then called the media first and that is why word leaked out before Coach Sherman was informed. We have a hard time thinking the Texas A&M would allow this to happen, so we will continue to follow the story.
The following came from aggieathletics.com.
Q: What was your message to the team last night and how disappointed were you that you didn’t get to tell them in person?
A: “Well, I was disappointed on a couple fronts there, that it had leaked out previous to my own knowledge and my ability to sit down with my family. A football family is totally connected and they’re very defensive. I have five kids and they’re so protective of their dad and what’s said. I can handle anything, I don’t put a whole lot of stock in what’s said usually, because 90 percent of time it’s not true. But they are very protective of their dad and their husband. So I would have liked to have that opportunity, that they didn’t have to experience that on their own. I wish I’d have had an opportunity to tell the team before it was let out, but I didn’t, so we made the most of the situation. My message to them was to win the ballgame. My message to them was they are good football team. Don’t let anybody tell them anything different. My message to them was simply, be great men and men of character.”
