You think Mike Anderson wishes Rob Childress was still around? I wasn't kidding when I said Anderson would follow Frankie to a choking job, er, coaching job at Ohio U by 2012.

Normally, these types of highlight reel posts are saved for the LeBrons and Howards of the world, but sometimes you run across something that’s just so cool, you can’t help but sharing.

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin With Texas' spring scrimmage approaching on Sunday, Vondrell McGee has emerged as the leader in the Longhorns' tight battle at running back.     Brian Bahr/Getty Images   Vondrell McGee has taken the lead in the race to be the Longhorns' starter. Earlier in the spring, redshirt freshman Cody Johnson appeared to have taken a step forward to claim the starting position. But the bullish, 255-pound Johnson tweaked his hamstring last week... and has been kept out of the lineup. Since then, McGee has been the best player at the position, Texas coach Mack Brown said Monday. McGee has been challenged by sophomore Fozzy Whittaker and redshirt freshman Tre' Newton since Johnson has been idled. "Vondrell has been the experienced guy who has practiced every day," Brown said. "The other guys have had some little something wrong with them throughout the spring. Vondrell's been the most consistent and the most healthy. If we lined up to play today, Vondrell would be our starting tailback." McGee, a junior who has made three starts earlier in his career, has shown flashes of potential throughout his time with the Longhorns. But his running skills have been negated by blocking difficulties and inconsistency. He is the leading returning rusher among the Texas running backs after rushing for 376 yards and four touchdowns last season. Texas will play on a 90-yard field at its Sunday scrimmage because of construction at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. But the short field will enable Brown and his program to honor the military for its contributions. "We'll work on a 90-yard field, but we're going to take out the 40-yard line in honor of the 40 percent of our reserves and current active military that are deployed right now," Brown said. "We're inviting our military back from across the state back in their honor."more>>
