After being tackled on Texas' fifth play of last night's national championship game, quarterback Colt McCoy signaled to the sidelines that he needed to come out as his right arm dangled at his side. That motion was the equivalent of a boxer's trainers throwing in the towel. Less than five minutes into the first quarter and the contest was effectively over. more ›

We’re not going to count our chickens before they hatch. Still, it’s been heartening to see an improvement in the perception towards marijuana laws of late, even if a very, very slight one. We’re already hearing tales about the green rush in California from friends -- even Arnold seems up for a debate. Locally, we’ve always had Willie speaking out in favor of reformed laws and earlier this year, Austin lawyer Charles Roadman shared his thoughts on the issue. We may soon have an Attorney General furthering the cause as well, if all goes to one Barry Cooper’s plan that is. This Sunday, Club de Ville hosts a fundraiser benefitting Cooper, a narcotics interdiction officer from Texas, currently in the running for the position of the state’s Attorney General. more ›

In a four-second burst of speed and power, the 255-pound Kindle blasted past Marlon Winn in 10 steps and crashed into Potts, knocking the quarterback's helmet off, the ball from his hand, and dislodging his contact lens. Watching the play again and again (as Texas fans have done all week), you wonder how Potts was able to recover. more ›

Shawn Gillespie completed the city's newest, and perhaps longest, mural, called "The Austinites" on September 16th. As Gillespie was dabbing on the last bits of purple paint, Leslie Cochran dropped by to inspect his portrait. Leslie, best known for his minimalist approach to cross-dressing, then said, “I really like your art, but could you give me a little more hair?” The artist obliged, but drew the line at larger breasts. Now you will always know where to find a formally attired version of Austin's best known street person: the south wall of the Hickory Street Bar and Grill. more ›
