All Things Longhorn: Once more, altogether now

Once more, altogether now

We’re kind of beating on the dead horse here, but there’s indications that Selvin Young may be playing this Saturday. Mack Brown gave the media this mysterious nugget yesterday:

“Selvin practiced really well and there was no swelling. We will look again tomorrow and see. Usually that third day, if something is going to pop up, it will, but he practiced really well. His birthday is Saturday, so it would be good for him to get back for a birthday present from me.”

I like Selvin Young. He seems like a good young kid. He’s reportedly done a great job working with the freshmen. He used to have a fair amount of potential, too. But last year’s ankle injury has clearly taken its toll. He’s not as fast as he used to be, the injury keeps recurring, and he’s still way too fumble prone. Why are we messing around here? I’m not opposed to a token birthday appearance by Selvin if the game is in hand, but we’d better be getting heavy doses of Jamaal Charles on Saturday. Or? Say it with me boys and girls: Mack Brown should be drug tested. And then fired.
