Vince Young is going pro.

OK, make that twelve coaches. I'm sure USC doesn't want to face him again.

Your nephew just got very depressed.

I guess he saw how well that second year worked out for Matt Leinart. :-)

Seriously, though, I don't think the Longhorns are going to be hurting for talent any time soon.

Patty, I'm sure he'll understand if I can't manage to work up much sympathy to his psychological state. And I'm sure that a certain ROTC major is looking forward to visiting with him tomorrow (which may be part of the problem).

Bryan, the raw facts don't support your thesis: ONE red-shirt quarterback who's never taken a gameday snap, and some promising recruits.

I'm the last one to underestimate Mack Brown's coaching ability, but Young is leaving some huge empty shoes.

How 'bout a whole Cadillac dealership?!

Amazing, but I saw on the AP report that Young is the first player to leave early for the NFL draft in Brown's 8 year career at Texas. That speaks to a high level of commitment to academics.

And hey, Brown's lost like, what, two games per year so far? I'm sure he's got something up his sleeve. Whatever it is, I predict they'll be a lot heavier on the running back game next season.
