Season tickets for Texas Tech football will increase in an attempt to keep the school's athletic programs competitive, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. Most sections of Jones AT&T Stadium will see a hike of either $14 or $19, the newspaper reported. "We realize there's a point to where you just can't go higher anymore," athletic department chief of staff Craig Wells said. "We are hoping that we're not to that point. What we hope is...

With starting point guard Dogus Balbay out for the season with a torn ACL, Rick Barnes is looking for a replacement among his depth chart. His three main options are freshman J'Covan Brown, junior Jai Lucas and senior Justin Mason. Brown would appear to be the obvious choice given that he was recruited specifically to be Texas' starting point guard, but Barnes has not been happy with Brown's lack of energy, poor effort on defense...
Recently fired Texas Tech coach Mike Leach joined Joe Rose on WQAM in Miami recently. Some highlights as transcribed by sportsradiointerviews.com: On if he is worried about getting back into coaching: "You know I don't worry very much. I try to do the best I can, be passionate about what you are doing, do the best you can and see where it takes you. At the years at Tech we won 20 games in two...
Credit Oklahoman columnist Berry Tramel for getting an extensive, exclusive interview with Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds about the future of the Longhorns in the Big 12. Dodds praised the Big 12, Texas' home since the breakup of the Southwest Conference. "It's been good to us and for us," Dodds told Tramel. "Geographically, it works. It works politically, and it has to work politically. It works competitively. It's worked financially. I don't think we need...
Texas received the news that it both feared and expected about junior Dogus Balbay. And the point guard situation for the Longhorns became even more unsettled. MRI results showed that Balbay tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will miss the remainder of the season, athletic trainer Eric Fry said. Balbay was injured in the first half of Saturday's win over Texas Tech on a drive. He said his knee "twisted and... February 20, 2010
Maybe it's a smokescreen. Maybe it got lost in the fine print. Or maybe the Big Ten really isn't targeting Texas like a lot of people think, based on that report in a Kansas newspaper. Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that 15 schools were mentioned as possible expansion candidates in the initial conference report by a research firm. Nowhere to be found, according to Alvarez, was Texas. "In our initial...
There's a lot of ground to cover from Texas' 71-67 basketball victory today over Texas Tech. 1. Big win for Texas, which was starting to spiral after losing six of nine and could have dropped to .500 in the Big 12 with a loss. 2. Damion James makes a senior play, forcing 6-1 Nick Okorie into a difficult runner that could have tied things in the final minutes. "My instinct just took over," the 6-7...
Texas leads Texas Tech 37-30 at halftime but will the Longhorns have enough players to finish the game at United Spirit Arena? First, center Dexter Pittman fell into the end zone photographer area after being dazed by an inadvertent shot to the head from teammate Damion James just 58 seconds into the game. Pittman was down for a couple of minutes, taken to the locker room and has since returned to the game. The prognosis... February 19, 2010
This from Laken Littman ... In Mel Kiper's final mock draft before next week's NFL combine, he predicts Texas OLB Sergio Kindle to go to the New York Giants as the fifteenth overall draft pick. In Kindle's four years at Texas, the 6-4, 255 lb. Kindle recorded 176 tackles, 43 for a loss. In 2009, Kindle's adept quickness helped the Longhorns rank first in rushing defense (62.2 ypg). His strongest performance of the 2009 season...
Throughout the season, Rick Barnes has repeatedly said, "I'm not going to fix something if it's not broken." Well, the Longhorns started out as No. 2 in the nation, going on a 17-game winning streak, beating last year's NCAA champion and runner-up and then all of the sudden, collapsed. You do the math. Now we're edging toward the end of February and they've dropped six of their last nine games, they can't get their big... February 18, 2010
David Ash of Belton knew he was meant to wear Texas' burnt orange before a scholarship offer was on the table. "There's no school like them," Ash told Alex Byington of the Killeen Daily Herald. "They have so much tradition. I really respect what the coaches do. They just do things the right way - they treat people right. And they win that way and I'm just glad to be a part of it."...
During Texas' Junior Day last weekend, 13 recruits committed to the Longhorns. Defensive tackle Desmond Jackson of Houston Westfield, one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation, is one of Mack Brown and Co.'s proudest snags. Before committing to Texas, Jackson went to Alabama and Oklahoma Junior Days. But after visiting Austin, he's likely done with the recruiting process. "I wanted to focus on my senior season," Jackson told Rivals.com. "It would be... |
