They were talking about Patterson this morning on local sports radio in Austin. Still seems more like Luck is the right choice. If you don't see Luck in the stadium on Saturday, he's the man.

Texas official: ASU's Steve Patterson will be next Longhorns AD Patterson apparently was offered and accepted this morning. I think this is a play by the regents because Powers wanted Luck. Edit: The Statesman has it, too.
Should have known when this was reported last week. The game versus WV should be interesting. http://www.foxsportsarizona.com/col...down-Texas-to-sta?blockID=956205&feedID=10262
Steve Patterson also worked for NFL Houston after the Oilers left, he was the key player in Bob McNair's team who got the NFL back. he freaking drafted Robert Horry!
Dude, no. This chump tried to trade Hakeem to the Heat for Seikaly and scrubs, then ran the Blazers into the ground. F him.
that was a controversial topic and we didn't know who was telling the truth. however Dream did re sign under his watch .
The Horn said he cleaned house when he got to Arizona St. Wonder if he focused on "changing the culture" in the program. Seems he would be more likely to fire Mack. If it comes to that, I hope Mack goes somewhere else and wins.
