Dan Patrick, DIRECTV and You

Posted by    |    February 28th, 2012 at 1:55 pm

YouPlusMedia, owner of www.youplusdallas.com, has created a totally unique web and mobile platform designed to generate crowd-sourced content for television.  American sportscaster and radio personality, Dan Patrick, the driving force behind The Dan Patrick Show and The Box Score, and DIRECTV, are collaborating with YouPlusMedia on this groundbreaking project.

For the first time, avid sports fans in Dallas and around the country will be able to audition to be part of The Box Score television segments produced by YouPlusMedia.  Sports fans can “audition” to be on the show from any sports bar, office, or their own living room, via The Box Score app.

Download the free iPhone app by visiting the iTunes store. Once the app downloads to your mobile device, you are ready to answer a variety of sports questions. Don’t have a smart phone? You can also answer questions by visiting the Dan Patrick Channel on YouPlusDallas.com.

Patrick currently hosts The Dan Patrick Show, which is a nationwide radio broadcast on Premiere Radio Networks. He can be heard on Dallas station 1310 The Ticket at 9pm CST Monday through Friday, on Austin station 1300 The Zone at 9am CST Monday through Friday, and seen on television on The Audience Network for DIRECTV subscribers.  Patrick also co-hosts NBC‘s Football Night in America, and serves as a senior writer for Sports Illustrated.

The Box Score, which airs Monday through Friday at noon EST on DIRECTV channel 101, will be the primary test ground for this effort.  The Box Score features the “Danettes”: executive producer Paul Pabst (“Paulie”), director of operations Patrick “Seton” O’Connor, talent coordinator /”guest wrangler” Todd Fritz (“Fritzy”), and official show blogger/Sports Illustrated writer Andrew Perloff (“McLovin”).  Patrick is an important and regular contributor to The Box Score.

1977 Texas Versus Oklahoma Football Game: Part 2

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.

 

 

Mustang Football Season Preview

Posted by    |    August 14th, 2011 at 4:16 pm

The Mustangs have now had two decent seasons and a bowl win under their belt (as well as a very poorly played and frustrating bowl game).  Now they are ready to take the next step: win C-USA.

SMU had the best recruiting class in about 25 years.  Margus Hunt is back after surgery, and is better than ever.  The offensive line now has six senior starters, and is stronger and faster than ever.  The defense is improving by leaps and bounds, and SMU continues to reload at the wide receiver position.  Aldrick Robinson is gone to the NFL, but Terrance Wilkerson (a three year player who can replace Robinson) is back from injury.  Derrick Johnson is a deep threat, and there is a solid incoming class.

Now for the [skinny] elephant in the room: Kyle Padron.  This gentleman did not have a great season last year (though it was OK).  The Achilles heal (on offense) of the team in critical situations was the inability to convert passes in critical situations.  One of the reasons for this was that other teams knew SMU was going to pass 4 out of five times any time it was third and >5 yards to go.  The other problem was that Padron would not adjust is said situations (rather, he would stare down his primary receiver and force in a pass).
