08:20 AM ET 06.26 | One of the "need" positions in Austin could be taken care of in the form of defensive tackle Brandon Moore. Texas may have struck gold on the JUCO front with Moore and offensive lineman Donald Hawkins. Hawkins should start on the offensive line after an impressive spring, and the 330-pound Moore could make coordinator Manny Diaz's defense even more scary. In spring drills he looked unmovable in the middle of the defense. If he could keep his weight under control and have a productive summer, this Longhorns defense will be dominant because DT was the one position of concern entering the spring. Honorable mention for the 'Horns: quarterback David Ash, who must be consistent in his first full year as a starter.

And they were slow joining "the times". Should have shored up some crappy positions with JCs the two previous years. JMO though.

Me thinks they were too proud and stubborn to admit they made recruiting errors with some of those classes.

What does that mean exactly, what are doing with the p's and q's that they need minding, and why not mind the rest of the letters? You know you open yourself up to a big fat lawsuit from the other letters.

Well, Mr PC....

It has to do back in the day with printing presses and p's and q's looking so much alike, especially since eyeglasses hadn't been invented yet by Thomas Paine. But once Franklin flew his kite in a storm, they were able to print The Color Purple and life has never been the same since.

So there

All this time I thought p's and q's were for pints and quarts of beer. Hmmm, well learned something new today on this edumacational site. And as for Purple, I say....Go Frogs!
