Recall is tired of summer school

BREAKING NEWS: The AP is reporting that Texas A&M has signed a contract with Adidas. In other news, the solar system is heliocentric, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and we landed on the moon.

The deal strengthens Adidas' presence in the Big 12, with the Aggies becoming the third school in the conference -- along with Texas and Nebraska -- to contract with the German company, which has its U.S. headquarters in Portland.

Bless their hearts, the AP really does try, but I'm fairly certain that Texas is still with Nike. Kansas is the other BigXII sporting the 3 Stripes.

In case you haven't already seen the photos of the new uniforms:

(I'm fairly certain Jack Bauer penetrated the Bright Football Complex security and took these with his camera phone, which he then uploaded to CTU with his wireless PDA..)

Our personal favorite aspect of the new uniforms:

Class Councils revealed the 2007 Maroon Out shirt last week

I'm a big fan of the T-Star and I like the 12th Man image on the back.

This year's official Maroon Out game: 11.23 The Lone Star Showdown

Shirts are $5, get yours here.

Someone has posted a badass video featuring Mike Goodson and Jorvorskie Lane highlights. Although YouTube has degraded the video quality, but the soundtrack alone makes it worth the watch ("Brush Your Bittersweet Shoulders Off" a Jay-Z vs. the Verve mashup). That, and the trail of bodies and jocks that these two left on the field.
After watching this video, it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that these guys are merely two weapons in our massive offensive arsenal.

Oh we're not done with videos, here's Ag9496's 3rd video this offseason "Remember the Name". Again, this guy's source of footage is incredibly deep and there are great rarely seen angles. Only drawback: Fort Minor..

Major props and congratulations are in order for Peter Bean of BON. The cover is so sexy and glossy that I'm almost tempted to read the blasphemy that is surely contained within. A quick glance at the contributing authors reads like a who's who of CFB's most influential bloggers as well as the Texas beat writers for the Dallas Morning News and Houston Chronicle.

Peter's The Eyes of Texas 2007 is a monumental, groundbreaking glimpse into the future of sports media. A future where the traditional perceptions and boundaries between bloggers, MSM, and recruitniks are broken down for the sake of quality sports information and analysis.

Take note Rachel Cohen, Brent Zwerneman, Billy Liucci, and fellow Aggie bloggers, Peter and the Longhorns have set the bar very high.
