Barnes Blogs about... old friends at the baseball alumni game
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for baseball alumni games at the Disch. I went to come cold games as a student, but it was great seeing Longhorns and former Longhorns play on the same field. And I've covered quite a few through the years,

Barnes Blogs about... rooting for the Harbaugh brothers
I don't have a brother. Only a sister. Her name is Diane, but I call her Boggs. And the prospect of coaching against her in the Super Bowl is unfathomable. Forget for just a second that she doesn't know what strong side and weak side mean...

Barnes Blogs about... when's the rubber match?
Shouldn't there be a rubber match? That's what they call it in baseball when a team wins game one and the other team wins game two. Game three is the rubber match. It's a term that actually comes from Bridge, but I digress.

Barnes Blogs about... non conference basketball

Barnes Blogs about... the problems with Twitter
Remember the great line from Ferris Bueller's Day Off: " My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night."

Barnes Blogs about... a Thanksgiving memory
But things were different in 1973. I was only six, but already a HUGE fan of the Cowboys. I knew the roster and most of the history. I knew about the Cowboys and Dolphins in Super Bowl VI in New Orleans.

Barnes Blogs about... the Bowl chances for UT
You're going to hear the same phrase each of the next three weeks. "This is a must win for the Longhorns' Bowl chances." It's bold. It's brazen. It's feisty. It's strong. And it's true.

Barnes Blogs about.... only 5 points in Missouri
The 17-5 loss to Missouri has UT scrambling. The BCS dreams are dead. The Cotton Bowl dreams are fading. And some people are pointing toward the Car Care Bowl in Houston again

Barnes Blogs about... remembering 44-0
The journalist in me says the Cowboys just didn't show up in Philadelphia on Sunday night. The Eagles had an extra week to prepare for the game. And it's never easy to win in the City of Brotherly Love.
