Men's basketball assistant coach Al Johnson is taking a medical leave, lets hope everything is okay. Billy's radio show kicks off today at 7pm CST. For out-of-towners you can stream the broadcast from WTAW's site. I have been to a number of these shows, Billy is a pretty funny guy. Made fun of the players constantly.

Big news for the football team, they will be playing in the Holiday Bowl against Cal and our players are "trilled". Okay maybe it is not big news, but it is nice that the Gator Bowl yahoos are no longer holding this up, at least for us. We have some interesting, and previously unknown to me, history with Cal. The 12th-man kickoff team debuted against Cal in a 1983 19-17 loss at Kyle Field. Now THAT is good trivia.

It is also interesting that in the year of the young QB, the only two seniors staring at QB in the Big 12 meet in the championship.
