Did you ever slide off the runway?

We did last night. While we were taxiing, the plane lost all hydraulics and we went off into the grass on the left. A little scary, but no biggie. Let's just hope they get it fixed so we can come home. Everyone was fine, although Coach G and a few players were upset they didn't get to use the slides to get off the plane.

No show today since I'm in Lincoln, but I'll hit a quick story here. Looks like another big time university president is thinking about a playoff for college football. This time it's the guy from Georgia. I love it, but why is it always the guy that either got screwed or almost got screwed that brings it up. Last year, the Florida guy lost it, but only after they almost did not get in. Anyway, Georgia pres. is thinking 8 teams. He wants the four quarterfinals at the Sugar, Rose, Orange, and Fiesta. Miles Brand says they will bring it up at their meetings on Monday. Remember, the Fox deal ends in 2010, and the Rose Bowl deal with ABC runs through 2014. The PAC 10 and Big 10 will never go for it because of the Rose Bowl. But I'll bet you if one of their teams gets left out next year, they'll be the first one to bring it up at a meeting. Either way, I'm just glad some presidents are starting to see the light. Come on PAC 10. Come on Big 10. Walk towards the light. There's a lot of money over here. And you'll get a ton. Plus you can still have the Rose Bowl parade.

Big match up for the UT Women tonight in Nebraska. The Huskers are unranked, but good. Plus, we don't know how much Carla Cortijo will be able to go, if at all, because of the shoulder injury. Nebraska just got a starter back from a rib injury, so they are at full strength. Catch the game on AM 1300 the Zone in Austin, or online at texassports.com
