The idea came soon after Keri Timmerman was named the Marble Falls Independent School District’s athletic director and football head coach.…

Reports surfaced that head coach Steve Sarkisian will add another special assistant the staff, much like he did in 2022 when he hired former TCU head coach Gary Patterson. The belief is this time, it’ll be someone to help on the offensive side of the ball. My take is it should be Todd Dodge. Let’s…

The Big 12 Conference will host its annual Football Media Days Wednesday and Thursday, July 13-14, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Therefore, the reporters and fans have speculated on what conference officials will address and who will be doing the talking. Expected talks about conference expansion are at the top of the list with the recent announcement that UCLA and USC are headed to the Big 10 about a year after news broke that Texas and Oklahoma, the founding members of the Big 12, were seeking membership into the Southeastern…

Burnet High School has had three different football teams play for state championships that are special memories for the players, trainers, coaches and everyone who wears the Kelly green. Those experiences is why 1988 Burnet High School graduate Randy Denton started the Burnet Bulldog Football Alumni page after attending a Bulldog Dads gathering with head coach Bryan Wood where attendees were brainstorming ideas on how to get more community involvement. “We want to get people excited and try to do things,” Denton said. “It was something we came up with…

Previewing Houston and Kansas City: Chiefs facing a different Texans team months later

September 16, 2016 Jennifer Fierro0 comment

It wasn’t that long ago that Kansas City crushed Houston in both head-to-head matchups in 2015. In fact the Chiefs’ last win was in the playoffs in a 30-0 beatdown where all five turnovers were credited to then-quarterback Brian Hoyer. But the Texans (1-0) may end up thanking Kansas City (1-0) for that. Houston entered the offseason and made changes to the personnel on offense. The biggest was signing quarterback Brock Osweiler. The Texans also signed running back Lamar Miller and drafted receivers Will Fuller and Braxton Miller. That explains…

Previewing Dallas and Washington: will the season end already for the losing team?

September 16, 2016 Jennifer Fierro0 comment

A popular point of conversation is that the team that exits FedEx Field with the loss will have little left to play for. And yet that’s the reality facing Dallas (0-1) and Washington (0-1) after week one losses. Neither wants to be 0-2 because the odds of making the playoffs drop dramatically. So if you’re Washington, you already know the uphill task waiting in November and December. Minnesota, Green Bay, Arizona and Carolina are waiting. And with another NFC East opponent up next in week 3 (New York Giants), it…

These NFL draftees will be on team rosters to begin the 2016 season

August 7, 2016 Jennifer Fierro0 comment

The NFL begins its preseason schedule Aug. 7 by matching the Green Bay Packers against the Indianapolis Colts. Besides the superstar native Texans on the roster (such as Colts quarterback Andrew Luck from Houston Stratford), the contest will feature several players making their NFL debuts from the Lone Star State. And that got us thinking about the 2016 draft. The state of Texas led the way for the most former high school players drafted by the NFL in the spring with 32 in all. Of that number four were drafted…
