Sergio Kindle News

For Texas, Thanksgiving Day wasn't about style points or making a statement -- unless you were Colt McCoy taking a major step toward winning the Heisman Trophy.

Texas and Texas A&M don't play each other for championships anymore, and the state's biggest football rivalry has changed in other ways, too.

For months, Texas defensive end Sergio Kindle had no problems with metaphors. Through the Longhorns' first 11 victories, Kindle played with words much like he toyed with opposing offensive linemen, and there rarely was a week when he wasn't talking about a "momentum train" or a "moment in the light" or some other such description of UT's season.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I want to belatedly thank everyone who listens to my show , thank everyone who takes the time to read my posts here on Hair Balls, and thank all of the athletes, coaches, and fellow broadcasters who continue to do outlandishly stupid shit every day so I have something to talk/write about.

Texas leaned on its massive offensive line to push its lead to 35-21. After Sergio Kindle recovered Texas A&M's Christine Michael's fumble at the Texas 42, the Longhorns ran on every play on a 58-yard scoring drive against the Aggies.

Texas A&M reached bowl eligibility with offensive balance. To upset No. 3 Texas and give the ESPN audience a perfect antidote to tryptophan overload Thanksgiving night, the Aggies' best hope lies with quarterback Jerrod Johnson.

Colt McCoy fired the cannon. He banged the big drum. Then he left the field to chants of "Colt for Heisman!" There's still plenty of work to do for the quarterback of No.

Though Kansas did show grit in answering Texas scores in the second half, the Jayhawks never mounted a serious challenge, losing their sixth straight game after starting the season 5-0. 2. Would the Texas defense stay No.

They did not go out with a Hail Mary, or with a furious rally, or with a tension-filled goal-line stand, because that wouldn't have been their style.

No one covers University of Texas sports like the American-Statesman beat writers.

Texas freshman kick returner D.J. Monroe has been suspended indefinitely after being arrested on a drunken driving charge.

When the wins come by the dozens, some are going to be easier than others. For Colt McCoy, count No.

It wasn't the most team-oriented thing to say, nor did it do much for his reputation of humility.

On the field, Texas defensive end Sergio Kindle always has been considered a beast.

Colt McCoy has made the right career choice. He's not imaginative enough to be a sportswriter, it seems.
