Just wanted to pop in to find out how good the Horns are going to be this year. From what I understand, they are supposed to have one hell of a year. Just curious to your thoughts on the season. This was a day for the hype to become real, for the kid with the golden hair to quit living off 1998 recruiting lists and last year's spring practice reports and start flashing that golden arm. This was a day as fresh and crisp for the Texas Longhorns, finally, as the morning paper.
Man bites dog.
We've seen it in practice. It had hardly been a bad two seasons for Simms, just not golden. His playing time was Major-ly inconsistent. Only once had Simms thrown for more than 113 yards in a game this season and his knack for throwing picks and forcing balls had become troubling. Simms knew what people were saying of him before Friday because he was saying it himself.
