Texas Football

All the Associated Press All-State teams have been released, as well as the Texas High School Coaches' Association Academic All-State team. The only major teams left are the Texas Sports Writers Association All-State teams (February), as well as our own Dave Campbell's Texas Football team (February). Those will be posted here when they are published.  

With Texas Tech losing and hiring a head coach in a week's time — and with that new head man, former Red Raider QB Kliff Kingsbury, sparking a fair amount of interest state-wide — it can be fairly easy to overlook Bryan Harsin's departure from Texas. Make no mistake; that move is going to stir some conversation, too.

When news broke early Saturday morning that Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville was leaving Lubbock for the University of Cincinnati, the first tidbit of news to accompany the stunning announcement was that the Red Raider administration was completely caught off guard by the third-year man's departure.

Who's ready to make travel plans?

I've never been one for the short sleeves-and-tie look. 

Welcome to Texas Football's Playoff Central 2012!

TCU QB Casey Pachall has been suspended indefinitely by the team following a DWI arrest early Thursday morning. This comes on the heels of a tumultous offseason in which Pachall admitted to hardcore drug use to police following a significant on-campus drug bust. You can read about the DWI here. 

Did you miss the annual Texas High School Coaches' Association All-Star game? We've got the archived YouTube link of the broadcast — enjoy the call from Craig Way and, yours truly, Travis Stewart of Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine. 

Dennis Alexander, who with 322 career victories sits fourth all-time in state history, is probably making a career move.
