If you're hiking, consider charging up your iPod, as Seattlest finds out that a man lost during a hike was found by the glow of his iPod. That cleverness seems to be devoid in cops who were using police cruiser instant messaging clients - although we imagine IMs "so are you nakie" to be included in cop shows, just for realism. If only the cops were busting the Hummer-driving jerk who made a poor......

Lucky McKee’s cult began to grow like wildfire the day his first feature May was released on DVD. Since the release of that film, he has directed The Woods; been crowned a "Master of Horror" by Showtime; and produced and starred in Roman, a companion piece to May. Tonight, Lucky will be in town at Fantastic Fest for the world premiere of Roman and the U.S. premiere of The Woods. He was kind enough to......

This is the time of year for which number crunchers live. They compare the national champions to previous years' champs. They take a step back. They try and get a sense of historical context for what transpired over the previous five months. Well, the good folks over at College Football News have come out with a ranking of the Greatest College Football Seasons of all time. The formula takes into consideration the following components:......

But the price of stamps is about to go up, kiddos. Beginning January 8th, a 1 ounce first-class stamp (man, that's a classy piece of paper) will cost you 39 cents. FYI- they cost 37 now. The two ouncer will go from 60 to 63. And even our friend Mr. Postcard will go up a Lincoln to 24 cents. Get all the new rates here. You can still use your 37-cent stamps, but you......

That is about all we could say by the end of, and pretty much all throughout, last night's game. (We apologize for being delinquent in our wrtie-up, but we are pretty sure the night ended for us sometime around sunrise. With that said, expect this review to be pretty scatter-brained.) Where do we start? How does one man (and we know this was a team effort and will give props later) but, seriously, how......

Wherein we admit that we only watched snippets of the game, and missed the glorious finish. Well, a new Project Runway was on, and it seemed every time we switched over to the game, Texas fumbled or lost the ball. So we decided, better not to jinx the game and watch it. We are so proud of our team! We always knew UT was the best, but now everyone does. We swear we saw......

We will not be attending the Rose Bowl. Not only are we not the type to fly cross country for a sporting event, we are also not the type to sell our first born in order to pay for tickets for a sporting event. One major contributing factor to the astronomical ticket prices for this year's Rose Bowl is that demand for tickets to the game -- which pits first-ranked USC against the second-ranked......

You may remember last year was a bit sticky for the Horns vis-à-vis getting an invite to the BCS. There were issues surrounding who voted for whom and, of course, the very public politicking by Coach Mack Brown. His pleadings, and probably the fact that the Horns were a better team and a better draw, got the Horns into the Rose Bowl. The funny thing about winning is it changes everything. Now, instead of......

*Photo by Dallas Smith* The University of Texas and its fans have been waiting for this day for 35 years. The Longhorns destroyed the Colorado Buffaloes in the Big XII Championship Saturday in Houston, securing their first 12-0 season in history and a place in the National Championship in January. After squeaking by then-#4 Ohio State on the road in the second week of the season, Texas finally got the Oklahoma monkey of its......

Before we talk about the Big 12, let's look at the top ranked squad. To no one's surprise, USC crushed Hawaii 63-17. Heisman trophy winner Matt Leinart threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns. The Trojans looked good as they start their quest for their third consecutive national title. and now Big 12 news .... Dancing bears and raining frogs after the jump.......

The Longhorns had said throughout the postseason that they do not dog-pile unless they win it all. Well, all of that pent up emotion came spilling out Sunday afternoon after J. Brent Cox struck out the final batter of the College World Series, and the Horns mobbed one another in a massive pile of bodies near the pitcher’s mound. The Longhorn defeated the Florida Gators 6-2 on Sunday, sweeping the Gators in two games......
