Council to address tractﾕs legal issues with hired counsel By Collin Eaton Daily Texan Staff The City Council will meet July 29 to conduct a public hearing on whether to include the Bracken･ridge Tract in the Central West Aus･tin Combined Neighborhood Plan･ning Area. The meetingﾕs agenda shows the city has also entered contracts with outside legal counsel for their ser･vices regarding the Lions Municipal Golf Course and the UT System. According to the agenda, the council will go to executive ses･sion to discuss legal issues regard･ing the Brackenridge Tract. Mary Arnold, a member of Save Muny who has been working to preserve the course for decades, said Mon･day that by hiring legal counsel the city may indicate it is trying to see how much they can negotiate with the UT System. ﾒThe fact that the city manager is recommending the funding for some outside legal counsel with re･gard to the Brackenridge Tract and the golf course is a good sign,ﾓ Ar･nold said. ﾒI think thereﾕs been some hesitation on the part of the city staff with regard to how far the city could go in working with the University on uses for the land, particularly if those uses are not University uses.

The posting comes nearly seven weeks after the system announced a realignment plan on June 2 to fo･cus on intellectual-property com･mercialization. Randa Safady, vice chancellor for external relations, had said June 3 that the UT System could ﾒdo better with intellectu･al-property revenue,ﾓ and that the three new positions would help the UT institutions increase their intel･lectual-property revenues. According to several reports from the Chronicle of Higher Education detailing all university licensing rev･enue from several different years, UT-Austin generated $11.5 million in fiscal year 2008, the most mon･ey it has generated since 1997, the first year for which the Chronicle has available data. That was also the largest amount generated by any UT institution that year. Meanwhile, other large public re･search universities generated more than twice that number in fiscal year 2008. The University of Michi･gan generated $25 million; the Uni･versity of Utah generated $26 mil･lion; the University of Georgia gen･erated $24 million; the Universi･ty of Massachusetts generated $35 million; and the University of Flori･da generated $52 million.

Jeremy Yager, vice chair of the Legislative Policy Committee, has experience with encouraging stu･dents to become involved in polit･ical activism and has been work･ing with SG to brainstorm on how to get students involved. He said he is particularly interested in cre･ating long-term student interest in policy issues. ﾒOne of our biggest focuses will be trying to translate the level of en･ergy that I think students have into more sustained activism,ﾓ he said. Talarico said that the issues are not ones that would be contentious when involving student groups with political affiliations because of the general nature of the challenges that come along with budget cuts. ﾒWhen it comes down to it, tu･ition, textbooks, financial aid ﾑ theyﾕre not Democrat or Republi･can issues, theyﾕre just student is･sues,ﾓ he said. Kabir said that the push to involve students with these issues comes from a fundamental belief that pol･itics should not scare students away from issues they care about. ﾒItﾕs not super political because most students can recognize the need for something and try to go after it,ﾓ Kabir said. College Republicans President Melanie Schwartz said that al･though both liberal and conserva･tive students agree that something needs to be done about issues such as tuition reform, they do not neces･sarily agree on the way they should be handled. ﾒWe donﾕt want Student Govern･ment to present things to the Leg･islature and say that this is what all 50,000 people believe, because itﾕs not.

The festival and bull run were spotlighted in English-speak･ing countries when they be･came the central setting of ﾒThe Sun Also Risesﾓ by Er･nestHemingway.Sincethen, thousands of foreigners have joined thousands of Spaniards each year to watch or partake intheincrediblyexhilarating, butalsodangerousﾒencierro,ﾓ orrunningofthebulls.

By Joshua Avelar Daily Texan Columnist The University received negative attention in the past few months for stalling on a decision to remove the name of William Stewart Simkins, a former UT law professor and Ku Klux Klan or･ganizer, from a campus dormitory. The national media portrayed the decision as a no-brainer, so the three-month ponder-fest made the University seem overly cautious, to say the least. When UT President William Powers Jr. recom･mended to the Board of Regents that the name of the dorm be changed, he had an opportunity to show the nation that UT is not as behind-the･times as some might think. Instead, Powers recommended that the dorm be named ﾒCreekside Residence Hall.ﾓ The re･gents unanimously approved the name, and the Universityﾕs hopes of sweeping the fiasco under the rug came to fruition. UT administrators had an opportunity to re･name the dorm after someone who actually de･served honor and recognition, but they named it after its proximity to a creek. In renaming the dorm Creekside, officials demonstrated their neutrality on issues of social change: They just want the bad press surrounding the University to go away. Many namesake suggestions came up during the dorm-renaming fiasco. One was Rev. Jacob Fontaine, a Baptist minister who in 1881 orga･nized Texas blacks to vote for the newly char･tered state university to be built in Austin. At the time, many Texans felt Austin was too much of a corrupting environment for the stateﾕs brightest to attend college, but Fontaine traveled across the state to ensure this ﾒuniversity of the first classﾓ would be built in this first-class city. Some suggested the dorm be named after He･man Sweatt, who successfully sued the Uni･versity after being denied admission to the UT School of Law on account of race. His victory in the Supreme Court made Sweatt the first black law student at UT. Professor J. Gilbert McAllister, who taught an anthropology class in 1940 on topics such as the unscientific basis of racial discrimination, also came up in the potential namesake discussion. There are probably dozens of other histor･ical UT figures who deserve to be represent･ed on campus. With such a storied history, UT has had plenty of donors, students, faculty and staff who have contributed greatly to this community. The honor of having oneﾕs name on a building on this campus should be tak･en seriously. UT is pulling a LeBron James by taking the easy way out with this decision. This bland, ge･neric, Hill Country Fair of a name passed by the Board of Regents really shows a lack of initia･tive. UT is not renaming the dorm for the right reasons ﾑ just for public relations. Avelar is a government senior. GALLERY LEGALESE Road trip on a budget By Lindsey Purvin Daily Texan Columnist Who among us hasnﾕt entertained the thought of running away from it all, even if itﾕs only for a few harmless days? No itineraries, no declarative Facebook up･dates, and no elaborate planning ﾑ just an im･promptu decision between three friends. As we baked on the sunburned porch of a lo･cal hangout one Friday afternoon, sipping chilled beverages and contemplating weekend plans, we became increasingly aware of the stagnant heat and city congestion that made going to a place that was not remotely Austin necessary. A change of scenery was in the works. Summer courses have kept the pressures steady for many students and, for the most part, with･in Austin city limits. With work and a negligible transition between summer sessions, it is increas･ingly evident that summer is ending, and some of us have yet to find a way out of town. For the budget-conscious, money-strapped col･lege student, affordable summer excursions are often reliant on car travel. Five-day summer class schedules ﾑ and the improbability of crossing the Texas state line in less than five hours ﾑ further extinguish any opportunity for a rejuvenating es･cape and satiation of a small need for adventure. For many students, the easiest out-of-town op･tion involves visiting family or friends for the weekend. My options were no less limited, but an opportune moment arose when the fishing cabin my parents shared at Lake Whitney became avail･able. Fortunately for me, my friends obliged my road trip urges and eagerly agreed to a girlsﾕ weekend away. Because neither of them is from Texas, it promised to be a fruitful exploration of the Lone Star countryside and the curious attractions of a conventional, historic town. For me, the simple act of being road-bound is invigorating. A couple of friends, a full cooler and competing iPod selections occupied our first two hours northbound. Once outside Waco, we exited to maneuver a labyrinth of farm roads, with the occasional stop at roadside attractions. Sometime after sunset, under a blanket of stars, we pulled into the final drive and encountered a glaring in･dicator that we were in the countryside. My low-beams brought into full relief the eight･legged movement of huge spiders crossing the pathway. As my toes instinctively curled into my flip-flops, I made a mental decision not to alert the attention of my citified friends to avoid a pan･ic-stricken retreat before exiting the car. I quickly killed the ignition, popped the trunk and exchanged my flip-flops for durable, spider･eradicating, sneakers. Once inside, I intended to suggest we look out for the creepy-crawlies, but my attempts at keeping the peace were defeated when the indoor lights illuminated a 9-foot spi･der web in the living area, trailing from the ceil･ing to the floor. The ensuing screams were followed by hyste･ria, which was amplified by the difficult choices at hand. We darted the hell away from that cabin, but then we remembered the bigger, scarier crea･tures inhabit the outdoors. Facing our fears and armed with swatting objects, we disengaged the web, checked corners and crannies unsuccessful･ly for the occupant and fortified ourselves in the adjacent room for the rest of the night. The morning light and cool breeze from the lake eased the stress of our first nightﾕs encoun･ters. Fortified by sunlight, we re-established our dominion over the cabin and renewed our enthu･siasm by preparing for a day on the lake. The lake was explored at top speed and even･tually we anchored in a protected cove to swim, sunbathe and reinvent the sport of fishing. As the afternoon crept along, my efforts to cast a line en･couraged continuoual laughter and resulted in the freeing of a dozen or so purchased minnows. Pan･ic, fear and high-pitched screaming ensued after an unpleasant capture of the eellike, sawtoothed Alligator Gar. No longer interested in keeping our dinner, we opted for dining out at a local restaurant. Like good dinner parties, the best road trips reveal se･cret diners and dives with surprisingly good food. My parents had previously recommended a hunt for the GPS-challenged: Melﾕs Steakhouse. After several missed turns and one ludicrous computer command to take a nonexistent right into a fenced-in field, we stumbled into the en･tranceway of Arrowhead Resort. Intending to ask a human for directions, I pulled up to the main building surrounded by a series of 1970 family･style bungalows. Upon turning into the driveway, we once again encountered an indigenous country creature. Strutting across the lawn in all its striking plum･age was a male peacock. Walking up the pathway, we were again stopped short by a trio of peacocks trotting across the pathway. The birds seemed largely unperturbed by our presence, so we head･ed inside ﾑ and discovered the steakhouse. Patio seating was encouraged, and we wan･dered onto a deck overlooking the expansive Lake Whitney in the grips of sunset. Above us, a white peacock balanced on the wooden canopy. My friends chirped excitedly about our surround･ings as I privately weighed the pros and cons of sitting beneath a peacock (this had the potential to be much worse than the spider debacle). Less than 24 hours after our last-minute departure and with chilled beverages in hand, my friends and I marveled over the unexpected change in scenery and dazzling sunset that a two-hour journey re･vealed. Nearby, a peacock screech echoed like a car alarm. I turned to my friends and casually sug･gested, ﾒHe must have seen a spider.ﾓ Purvin is a rhetoric and writing senior.

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 NEWS Leaders defend NASA program Texas delegation works to ensure continuation of manned space flight By Nolan Hicks Daily Texan Staff Members of the Texas delega･tion to the U.S. House of Repre･sentatives vowed to save what they could of NASAﾕs troubled Constellation Program, which was supposed to develop the space shuttle replacement. The U.S. Senate Commit･tee on Commerce, Science and Transportation passed an au･thorization bill Friday recom･mending funding be drastical･ly reduced for the Constella･tion Program. ﾒPresident [Barack] Obamaﾕs plan to cut the manned space･flight program is a mistake,ﾓ said Mike Rosen, a spokesman for U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin. ﾒ[McCaul] wants Constellation to be the succes･sor to the space shuttle.ﾓ An official on the Commit･tee on Commerce, Science and Transportation said the com･promise marked a significant move away from the initial pro･posed shutdown of the Constel･lation Program, calling the pol･icy a ﾒrepackagingﾓ of NASAﾕs troubled program. ﾒConstellation, as it was, was not doable,ﾓ the aide said. ﾒ[It would be] if they repack･aged and repurposed it, so budgetarily, it fit into the pres･identﾕs budget but also was workable.ﾓ The plan calls for NASA to use the assets and personnel who staffed the space shuttle and Constellation programs wherever possible to develop a spacecraft capable of leaving low Earth orbit. ﾒWhat [the repurposing of the Constellation Program] did is it streamlined it, and it has construction beginning on a heavy-lift program [similar to the Ares I heavy-lift rocket] in 2014, with something ready to go by 2016,ﾓ the aide said. While the Obama adminis･tration announced in February it would ask for an additional $6 billion for NASAﾕs budget, it also called for the termination of NASAﾕs manned space pro･gram to reduce costs, a move administration officials said would help free up resources to pay for additional probes and research. The University has received $25 million in funding from NASA over the past two years, UT spokesman Tim Green said. He said the University has worked with NASA on pro･grams that helped to identi･fy massive ice sheets under the surface of Mars. UT professors who head programs funded by NASA werenﾕt available for comment by press time. At the time, experts pre･dicted the shutdown of the manned space program could cost Houston between 7,000 and 11,000 jobs, and a political firestorm erupted as luminar･ies of the space program such as Neil Armstrong and John Glenn harshly criticized the ad･ministrationﾕs proposal. ﾒFor the United States, the leading space-faring nation for nearly half a century, to be with･out carriage to low Earth orbit and with no human exploration capability to go beyond Earth orbit for an indeterminate time into the future, destines our na･tion to become one of second･or even third-rate stature,ﾓ as･tronauts Armstrong, Eugene Cernan and James Lovell wrote in an open letter to the presi･dent. ﾒWithout the skill and ex･perience that actual spacecraft operation provides, the U.S.A. is far too likely to be on a long downhill slide to mediocrity.ﾓ Former professor faces allegations in Avandia case By Collin Eaton Daily Texan Staff A spokesman for the UT Health Science Center at San An･tonio said Monday that the uni･versity had no knowledge of a former professor allegedly al･lowing his name to be used for a ghostwritten article on a dia･betes medication called Avandia, a drug that until recently had come under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Steven Haffner was accused in a July 12 letter from the U.S. Sen･ate Committee on Finance to the FDA of having an article ghost･written for him, which was part of GlaxoSmithKline PLCﾕs ﾒso･phisticated ghostwriting pro･gram to promote its antidepres･sant Paxil.ﾓ According to the let･ter, Avandia was also apart of CASPPER, the ghostwriting pro･gram that was discovered in an internal GSK memo. Committee Chairman Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana, and ranking member Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, have been investigating the company. According to the letter, an e-mail sent on Aug. 13, 2001, shows that an employee of the company wrote, ﾒSee attached manuscript that has been ghost･written for Haffner.ﾓ The journal Circulation published the ghost･written study in July 2002. ﾒI can confirm that, to our knowledge, the Health Science Center learned of the ghostwrit･ing allegation of the time of last weekﾕs published reports about it,ﾓ center spokesman Will San･som said. ﾒHaffner retired from the university in August 2009.ﾓ Sansom said Haffner began employment at the center in July 1981. Haffner is currently em･ployed part-time by the Baylor College of Medicine. ﾒDr. Haffner recently joined Baylor College of Medicine as a part-time faculty member. He travels to Houston once or twice a month to assist in support･ing education and training ini･tiatives,ﾓ college spokeswoman Claire Bassett said. ﾒWe were un･aware of the ghostwriting issue until it was brought to our atten･tion this week.ﾓ Bassett said the college will conduct a review on the possi･ble effects the allegations will have on Haffnerﾕs part-time em･ployment. In 2007, Steven Nis･sen, chairman of the Robert and Suzanne Tomsich Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Cleveland Clinic, published a study in the New England Jour･nal of Medicine that established a link between Avandia and heart attacks. According to a document from Jan. 30, 2008, Grassley said the study spurred the committee to begin the investigation of GSK. According to the FDA, 18 mil･lion to 20 million Americans suf･fer from Type 2 diabetes. The FDA announced Feb. 22 that it was investigating the possible cardiovascular risks of Avan･dia. According to a July 14 GSK press release, 12 out of 33 mem･bers of the FDAﾕs advisory panel voted for taking Avandia off the market, 20 voted to either recom･mend no changes to the drugﾕs label or to place additional warn･ing and restrictions on the drug. ﾒFollowing todayﾕs recom･mendations, we will, of course, continue to work with the FDA in the best interest of diabetes patients who face this chronic and serious disease,ﾓ said Dr. El･len Strahlman, GSKﾕs chief med･ical officer, in the press release. ﾒGSK is dedicated to sharing data about its medicines trans･parently and in a timely man･ner. We remain fully committed to maintaining best practice dis･closure of clinical data to serve the interests of regulators, physi･cians and patients.ﾓ Bloomberg News reported that the company agreed to set･tle a class-action lawsuit for $460 million. In 2006, Avandia sales were about $2.5 billion, but those sales dropped to $1.2 billion last year, while a competing drug made by Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. made $4 billion last year, ac･cording to a July 13 story in The Wall Street Journal.

Although the Jalopy is still new and working on improv･ing and adding to its menu, it already serves up cheap sand･wiches with a bit of eccentricity and attention to savory details. With large abstract murals painted on both sides of the trailer, itﾕs hard to miss, next to the Seven Eleven at the corner of 15th and San Antonio streets, just south of West Campus. A large purple octopus stretches its tentacles across multicolored panels, some painted to look as though theyﾕve been pulled away to reveal a black painting within the painting. The Jalopy is not your typical trailer eatery. Purchased from Pok-e-Jos BBQ , the Jalopy fea･tures an interior that is a little larger than most trailer stands and half-globe glass light fix･tures that add a classier touch. Try to imagine a slightly up･scale restaurant ﾑ just in trail･er form. Pressed rotisserie-chicken sandwiches out of a trailer may not scream ﾒupscale,ﾓ but the Ja･lopy pays striking attention to the flavors in each of its sandwich･es. The traditional Caprese sand- wich made of tomatoes, mozza･rella and pesto is sweetened with chopped parsley, and its version of the classic PB&J sandwich is given a spicy twist with jalape･no-spiced peanut butter. The Ja･lopy even pays homage to the trailerﾕs original owners with its Poke In Da Eye sandwich with homemade barbecue sauce. The Jalopy also offers a side of veggie chips that have been quickly dunked in the fryer and seasoned however you like. You can also choose from a number of creative potato chip flavors, such as margherita pizza. As with any new restaurant, these taste refinements arenﾕt quite perfected yet. Take the Son Hong sandwich, for example. On the plus side, itﾕs a sweet sandwich with the slight crunch of pickled jalapenos and scal･lions. Itﾕs even got a sweet chili sauce that finishes with a spicy bite. But with all the different sauces, the bread tends to get soggy and the flavors are lost in translation. Even though the Son Hong has a lot going on, it still isnﾕt as flavorfully complex as the Caprese. Thatﾕs not to say that the Ja･lopy doesnﾕt have potential. The minor tweaks made to the Caprese sandwich and the made-to-order veggie chips suggest there are more refine･ments in the future for the rest WHAT: The Jalopy Rotisserie & Press WHERE: 15th and San Antonio Streets, next to Seven Eleven HOURS: Monday-Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; closed Sunday WHAT TO GET: The Caprese sandwich and veggie chips of its menu. But for any college student, the best part of a trip to the Ja･lopy is that all of the sandwich･es cost $5.50. That means you can get two filling sandwiches, a drink and some veggie chips for $13. The Caprese and Son Hong sandwiches sizzle on the skillet at The Jalopy Rotisserie & Press, located at 15th and San Antonio streets. ﾔMad Menﾕ season premiere set to air TV TUESDAY By Gerald Rich Despite the recent fears that ﾒMad Menﾓ wouldnﾕt air, the showﾕs fourth season will pre･miere Sunday at 9 p.m. on AMC, featuring a new agency and all the old, suave remarks. Hereﾕs a quick recap of events, in reali･ty and in the showﾕs plot, to pre･pare for the premiere. After reaching an agreement this past Sunday, AT&T said it will keep the Rainbow Media channels, including AMC, whose contract expired Wednesday. The two companies were in a stand･off after Rainbow Media asked for higher fees to air its channels, but the two companies reached a deal and AT&T agreed not to pull any channels. According to The Associated Press, the exact terms have not been negotiated, but AT&T said they have reached a ﾒfair deal.ﾓ Actual business matters aside, letﾕs continue on with the fiction･al business matters of the show. ﾒMad Menﾓ refers to the adver･tising men working in various firms on Madison Avenue dur･ing the 1960s. The show focuses on the Sterling Cooper ad agen･cy, a medium-sized firm known for its alcoholic executives and its philandering, yet impressive, creative talent. If you donﾕt be･lieve me, watch the pilot epi･sode, where they spin cigarette advertising to respond to the on･slaught of medical research link･ing smoking to lung cancer. However, this was a full three seasons ago, before Sterling Coo･perﾕs parent U.K. advertising agency was bought out by a much larger firm, McCann Erickson. Cue the good old American sentiments of independence and self-enter･prise, and the third season ends with the core characters splinter･ing off to create a new firm, Ster･ling Cooper Draper Pryce. As for the charactersﾕ personal matters, Don Draper, the showﾕs debonair leading man, is offi･cially single. After his wife Betty found out about his womanizing ways, she hopped on a plane to Las Vegas ﾑ where divorces and marriages were easy to get, even in the 1960s ﾑ with her boy toy, Sen. Harry Francis. Then, thereﾕs the newly wed･ded but equally scandalous co･owner Roger Sterling. Season three offered a more intimate look at his divorce and remarriage to a 20-something secretary. Whether BOOK REVIEW HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER Essayistﾕs second volume too negative to entertain By Kate Ergenbright Daily Texan Staff Collections of humorous essays have become increasingly popu･lar over the past decade. Essayists such as David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs and Nora Ephron have found success chronicling their life experiences with witty sarcasm. In 2008, famed publicist Sloane Crosley entered the personal essayist game. Crosley, a book-publicist-cum･humor-essayist, has been labeled by The New York Observer as the ﾒmost popular publicistﾓ in New York City. Crosleyﾕs best-selling first collection of essays ﾒI Was Told Thereﾕd Be Cakeﾓ gained Crosley critical acclaim and comparisons to established essayists such as Se･daris and Ephron. Shortly after its release, HBO bought the rights to the book, but the network has yet to turn it into a series. Crosleyﾕs latest book of essays, ﾒHow Did You Get This Num･ber,ﾓ was published by Riverhead Books this month and includes more of an intimate glimpse into Crosleyﾕs life than her previous work. In the book, Crosley writes about her experiences, ranging from traveling alone in Lisbon to searching for her dream apart･ment in New York City. Although Crosley does not match the humor or entertainment value of literary heavyweights like Sedaris, she has potential. Her writing style is witty and sarcas･tic, though Crosley herself does not necessarily translate as likeable through her writing. Her negativ･ity digs deeper than the pessimis･tic outlook of Sedaris, which may turn some readers off. ﾒHow Did You Get This Num･berﾓ may be more well-suited to New York residents who can re･late to essays about cramped apartment buildings and offen･sive smells in taxis. The funniest of Crosleyﾕs essays in the collection is a modern twist on the classic ﾒfish out of waterﾓ tale that describes her experience traveling to the Alaskan wilderness for a friendﾕs wedding. Crosleyﾕs stories are interesting and pique readersﾕ curiosity about her life, but they lack entertainment value and fail to hold the readerﾕs attention for prolonged periods of time. Overall, ﾒHow Did You Get This Numberﾓ may elicit a smirk or two from readers, but thatﾕs about as far as itﾕll go. this lustful union will last is ques･tionable, seeing as the two have al･ready started fighting after Sterling tried to curb her friendly gestures toward his resentful daughter. Known for adding personal reactions to the events of a de･cade well-reviewed in HIS 315L, ﾒMad Menﾓ features a startling･ly clear image of the racism and sexism of the ﾔ60s. The fourth sea･son premiere is set in November 1964, not too long after the Civ･il Rights Bill was passed in July and Democratic Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson was offi･cially elected to office. In previous seasons, histor･ic events such as Richard Nix･onﾕs failed campaign for presi･dency in the 1960 election and John F. Kennedyﾕs assassination have been played out and have led to some deep emotional scars for the cast. Itﾕs unknown at this time how this more liberal turn of events will affect the fledgling ad agency, but donﾕt expect them to go unnoticed in the ﾒMad Menﾓ universe. Itﾕs already been revealed that the first episode, ﾒPublic Rela･tions,ﾓ will prove that people rarely change, despite how tu･multuous politics can be. Drap･er apparently will drop an inter･view with an important newspa･per, which could have helped the young company, because of his taciturn behavior, and Sterling will, of course, try to set him up with a new girlfriend.

Make sure you take advantage of these few last moments. Remember to go see that movie, eat at that res･taurant and have all that special time with your loved one before the opening kickoff. Because once that ball goes up in the air, weekends will become mara･thons of watching nonstop football. A date night on Saturday will be exchanged for ordering a pizza and listening to Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit call a game. Attending church Sunday morning will become tailgating outside an NFL stadium. While the people who donﾕt buy into all the hype football brings are dreading the begin･ning of the season, the rest of us are salivating over the idea of seeing our favorite team back on the field. It has been way too long since that awful day in Pasadena, Ca･lif., and since the Saints took home the Super Bowl trophy. Simply put, football season canﾕt come soon enough. The Decision was made. The World Cup was won. The British Open was a bore. And the MLB All-Star Game was a waste. FOOTBALL Texas hopes to find successful running game By Chris Tavarez Daily Texan Staff Since Jamaal Charles left Texas ear･ly after the 2007 season, Texasﾕ running game hasnﾕt had a featured back and has been severely lacking in legitimate pro･duction. In 2008, Colt McCoy carried the entire offense as the leading rusher on the countryﾕs 38th-best rushing attack in addition to quarterback duties. For the Longhornsﾕ run to the nation･al championship last season, head coach Johnsonﾕs role this year wonﾕt be much differ･ ent from last year; heﾕll still be Texasﾕ goal-line and short yard･age back. Peter Franklin Daily Texan file photo CODY JOHNSON #31 Mack Brown and offensive coordinator Greg Davis scaled back McCoyﾕs touch･es as a runner and instead used screens, bubble passes and short crossing routes as the alternative to a legitimate run game. Needless to say, as bad as Texasﾕ num･bers were in 2008 on the ground, they were even worse in 2009. Last season, Texas averaged less than 150 yards a game and barely broke 2,000 total yards on the ground. During spring practices, though, Junior 2009 stats Johnson is Texasﾕ big boy. In short yardage situations, heﾕs the back who steps in and bulldozes the defensive line. 5ﾕ11ﾓ 14 appearances, one start He led the team in touchdowns last year with 12, which mostly came in goal-line stands. His biggest flaw, though, is his weight. 250 lbs 87 carries, 335 yards, 12 touchdowns Newton impressed the coaches in the spring and is seen as the Chris Ogbonnaya of this run･ning corps: dependable and a great pass blocker. Bryant Haertlein Daily Texan file photo TREﾕ NEWTON #23 football game on each day of the week except for Monday, which, of course, is reserved for ﾒMonday Night Football.ﾓ So, donﾕt expect to be seeing much of the remote control for a good five months as it will be in the hand of the beer-drinking, popcorn-munching slob who has gone days without showering. More importantly, you may want to invest in another DVR. Newton is expected to be the starting back come Sept. 4 against Rice. The sophomore led the team in rushing last year. While he wonﾕt burn defenses in the open field, heﾕs quick and shifty enough to get away. This leaves us 44 days until games that count begin Sept. 2. With less than two weeks until NFL training camps begin and Texas starting practice in the first week of August, it is time for The Daily Texan to turn its focus to football. Football has recently overtak･en baseball as Americaﾕs sport ﾑ not just because it has be･come the most popular sport among Americans but also be･cause the majority of, and best, players in the sport are actually American. Football is as American as apple pie while baseball is as American as sopapillas. There is a reason baseball is referred to as the ﾒnational pastime.ﾓ Foot･ball is the present. Football is the future. Want proof? Letﾕs look at how ESPN, or ﾒThe Mother Ship,ﾓ as radio host Dan Patrick refers to the cable network, covers football. ﾒThe Worldwide Lead･er in Sportsﾓ has an individual show for each major sport that is shown almost nightly during the season. For football, ESPN has two shows, ﾒNFL Liveﾓ and ﾒCol･lege Football Live,ﾓ that air five times a week throughout the en･tire year. When there is no news, ESPN finds news. During the season, football has priority in coverage. It could be the MLB playoffs and ESPN will bury the story ﾑ unless the Sophomore 2009 stats Peter Franklin | Daily Texan file photo Fans cheer as Texas comes out of the tunnel before the season opener against Louisiana-Monroe. Yankees or Red Sox are playing ﾑ and cover an injury update on an offensive lineman for the Rams instead. And on the actual game days? ESPN announced July 12 that it has extended its weekly ﾒCollege GameDayﾓ show to three hours of programming beginning at 8 a.m. But make sure you donﾕt sleep in too late on Sunday, or else you might miss a moment of the three･ 14 appearances, 6ﾕ0ﾓ five starts 116 carries, 577 yards, 200 lbs six touchdowns houwr ﾒSunday NFL Countdownﾓ show with a panel of nearly a doz･en men talking about football. For those of you who will be af･fected by a loved oneﾕs love for an･other, in this case his or her favor･ite team, you might as well give up on the weekends. But ESPN has extended its coverage of football away from just Saturday and Sunday. It has found a way to broadcast a college there was a newfound emphasis on the running game, the likes of which hadnﾕt been seen on the 40 Acres before Vince Young came in and Davis turned Tex･as into a spread and zone-read option offense. Part of the decision to empha･size the run game and bring Garrett Gil･bert, the Longhornsﾕ quarterback of the future, under center was to help take pressure off him with what Texas hopes will be a successful ground game that will open up the play action pass and FOZZY WHITTAKER #28 Whittaker is the yang to Newtonﾕs yin as far as the running game goes. Whittaker is more of the speedster who, when in the open field, will be hard to chase down. He dealt with some injury issues last year, though. Junior 2009 stats 11 appearances, 5ﾕ10ﾓ three starts 53 carries, 212 yards, 195 lbs four touchdowns give Gilbert more room to work with. While all three backs showed flashes of brilliance during the spring, the coach･es said one never stood out because each back is great at one thing ﾑ but not at everything. So, if Gilbert keeps playing like he did in the orange-white scrim･mage, and the run game looks as weak as it was before, Texas will most likely stop trying to force the runs and let Gil･bert roam free with his arm as Texas did with McCoy and Young before him. Bryant Haertlein | Daily Texan file photo For Mack Brown and Greg Davis, their biggest concern is whether Whittaker can stay healthy. He missed the first three games of the season last year, but came through in the clutch against Oklahoma where he had a game-high 71 yards rushing. CHRIS WHALEY #21 Whaleyﾕs performance in the orange･ white scrimmage opened a lot of eyes. He was the leading rusher for the game, and despite his size, he showed his speed when he broke off an impressive 17-yard run down the sideline. Whaley came to the 40 Acres as a prized recruit, and if he plays this season the way he did in the spring game, Texas will have a much stronger backfield.

Agent Joel Segal confirmed the deal Monday to The Associated Press. Segal would not say how much of a raise Johnson is getting, but did say the running will get a pay in･crease. Johnson will reportedly earn $2.5 million this season under the revised deal. Itﾕs not the minimum $30 million in guaranteed money the AP 2009 Offensive Player of the Year had been saying he wanted after becom･ing just the sixth back to run for at least 2,000 yards. However, he no longer will be the lowest-paid running back on the Titans roster with a base salary of $550,000. The raise will also prevent him from missing training camp when the Titans report on July 30 after sitting out the entire offseason in protest. Rangers pitcher hit in head by line drive, walks off unassisted Texas Rangers right-hander Dustin Nippert left the field under his own power after being hit in the head by a line drive off Austin Jack･sonﾕs bat in a game against the De･troit Tigers. The Rangers say Nippert was taken to a hospital for a CT exam, which was negative. He then re･turned to the teamﾕs hotel where he is resting. Jacksonﾕs drive up the middle Monday night appeared to hit Nip･pert above the ear and ricocheted into shallow left field for a double. Texas catcher Matt Treanor was al･ready sprinting toward the mound before the ball hit the ground, and was quickly joined by teammates and the Rangers training staff. Nippert quickly was able to sit up, and after being examined by trainers, he walked off the field. He was replaced by Darren OﾕDay.
