    Well Mack has named David Ash as his QB to start the opening game, but kept the probability that Case McCoy will also see action. I think most Texas people are hoping that Ash seizes the job and puts his stamp on it. If we are playing 2 QB's then we won't be very good.

    One place we don't have any problems at is RB. We have the #1 RB in HS for the last 2 years. Malcolmn Brown in 2010, and Johnathon Gray in 2011. Plus a big stud in Joe Beregeron. Those 3 guys would be starters on any other team but will share the carries for the Longhorns.

    The other place we don't have problems is defense. We have an awesome defense coming back, certainly top 10 maybe top 5. In Jackson Jeffcoat and Alex Okafor we have two of the best DE's in college football. Over all the defense should be very tough in Manny Diaz's second year. Big, Fast, and hit like a ton of bricks.

    OL is growing. We have some good WR's, but not really proven. Not to mention QB play was so bad last year how do you know if the guys were good when the ball was flying over their head or diving at their feet.

    If we can get good QB (not great) play from David Ash, and by that I mean protect the ball. We should be at least a 10 win team. Most are really looking forward to WVU coming to Austin and giving them a big Texas welcome...by kicking their asses!!

    For your pleasure I have this aerial tour of the campus, better known as the 40 Acres.

    Is there anybody left in that conference besides the Lhorns or did they all move out?

    Well there are enough "Okies" in So.Cal, descendants of the dust bowl migrations. My Uncle who grew up and lived his whole life in No.Cal, hated So.Cal and never missed an opportunity to take a shot at those Okies in So.Cal! :)
