Texas needs to get some type of points out of this drive, or the game will be over for sure. They have a short field, so they'll need to get something out of the drive.

every time i see Texas' running back Tre Newton touch the ball iscowl a little bit. he played at Southlake Carroll in Texas, and he is not even close to being the best tailback thatnearly always all-White school has produced. yet negro Newton has a skolly and is a starter for Texas, while all those White kids who were more talented and more productive disappeared into the shadowy abyss of the caste system.

to anyone who might think i don't know what i'm talking about ...
you don't even have to dig into the archives to find an example of what i'm talking about. just this year, Southlake Carroll's senior tailback was Tommy Avers. scouts called him a faster Aaron Luna, who, asyou can see by clicking on the link, ran a 4.4 and had ideal size. (Luna, who also was all-everything at tailback, wasn't wanted by any colleges looking for a tailback, either. he decided to play baseball.) now, let's compareAvers' senior year to that ofTexas' starting tailback, Tre Newton. (we could do the same thing for Luna, as well, but let's keep things simple, shall we?)
Newton: 1,373 yards rushing (8.3 yards-per-carry) for 16 touchdowns and 10 catches for 155 yards and 1 touchdown.
Avers: 1,701 yards rushing (8.4 yards-per-carry) for 23 touchdowns and 41 catches for 421 yards and 1 touchdown.
so the White athleteAvers (and for that matter Luna), who is virtually identical in size and much faster than the black afflete Newton AND is much more productive against the same competition, is not wanted by ANYONE as a tailback, and is headed off to play baseball in relative obscurity. meanwhile, Kirk Herbstreit is drooling over theaffleticism of Newton onnational television in the national championshipgame...
a more suspicious mind might think there was something odd going on here ...
Jimmy Chitwood said:how about the "proud son" and the "proud father" that the announcers blessed us with? they were referring, of course, to Ingram and his felonious father who's currently in the Big House.
then they had the audacity to speak of how great an example it is for all the rest of us ... really?
