Uh oh,....What's this...this sucks

Both the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns, the state's most beloved football consortiums, have some similar issues: The cornerbacks. The 'Boys are dealing with the foot injury of their best cover corner, Terrance Newman. He's got the dreaded plantar fasciatis, which affects his ability to plant and cut, which is a bad deal fo' a corner. It can linger all year, or it can go away in a week. If he can't go, safety Roy Williams will be more exposed than ever (in space), which is also below average. As for the 'Horns, they have opted to go with upperclassman Ryan Palmer over the super talented frosh Chykie Brown on the right side, and are casting their lot with senior Brandon Foster over super soph Deon Beasley on the left side. That means the kids (Brown and Beasley) ain't ready. Texas is still great upfront and has some talented LBs, along with a great set of offensive skill players, but know this: There are 3 positions in football that if you suck, everyone sees it, and it always costs you games some where. They are: QB, Left Tackle and yes, you guessed it: Cornerback. I'm not saying that Palmer and Foster will be bad, I'm just saying I don't know. I do know that 35 year old Aaron Glenn is a steep falloff from Terrance Newman, and that injury could be a season wrecker...... In other news, Baylor has determined that QB Mike Machen (the projected starter), who couldn't cut it at Kent State, isn't quite up to Baylor standards either, and they are going to wait until about an hour before the opening kickoff against TCU this Saturday to name the starter (Blake Szymanski, anyone?). Enjoy, Comra,...errrrr, Bear fan.........Football season officially begins tomorrow with LSU vs. Mississippi State.
