...most annoying thing about this mess is what a silly controversy this is. Having grown up in Texas, it’s easy for me to empathize with Southern-stereotype frustration. From northeastern editorial pages that reference “Bonanza,” six-shooters and tumbleweed every time they write about Texas to Dean’s unfortunate flag comment, we have to put up with a lot.

Through the third week of the season, sophomore tailback Ryan Tyler had been splitting carries with the speedster Dawson. But when Tyler bruised his ribs against Northeastern, the transfer from Northwestern started to see the large majority of the carries. The result? 287 yards in two games...
