These Texas Longhorns do not suck!

Wow, #1 Texas just absolutely put a hurtin' on #11 Les Mizzourables (who dropped to #16 AP / #15 BCS) this weekend, leading at one point 35-0 in the first half before putting it on cruise control and winning 56-31. Link here for story / highlights.

While Texas got about 2/3 of the AP first place votes last weekend (Alabama getting the rest), all of the remaining AP voters switched their votes to Texas after 'bama had a close win against Ole Miss.

This Texas team looks scary good right now, perhaps even better than Vince Young's 2005 championship team. With McCoy / Shipley / Q. Cosby / Ogbonnaya moving the offense and that freak Brian Orakpo--my wife thought the announcers were calling him Brian "A Rat Hole"--leading the defense, is it possible that the Longhorns are the best football team in the state of Texas? After watching the Cowboys get crushed by the Rams and Houston struggling to beat winless Detroit, they may be!

The KLBJ 590 AM morning radio show crew were joking about Obama approaching Texas' defensive coordinator Will Muschamp (pictured below, on left, with head coach Mack Brown) for a job as Secretary of Defense if Obama wins.
