Everything you would want to know about Mario (other than how he is gonna do next year) is contained in today's blogpost that was just put up: Fanblog: Texans
There is a really good article about him in high school that I am not sure has been posted here. And factual odds and ends you might find interesting if you don't know them already. And a little bit of Chronic smackdown. ![]() Hope you enjoy it.

Chick , I will forever use the term "Stupid Dummyhead " when refering to Richard Justice ... it just fits .

Texans_Chick, you dont need to be righting a fan blog......You need to be the head sportswriter, what you write is better than what three baboons at the Chronicle's Sports Section Write!

Stephanie, that piece was great. Great. You can't buy the passion you have for the players, the team, and the game. If you could buy it, McClain & Justice would be readable.

Thanks y'all. A lot of that has been a little pent-up for a while. I could have probably made it twice as long.
But I figure since at least one of the Chronicle sports editors read my blog, I have to do my best to try to get them to give us more of the news we crave.

I had a great post, tuned into the same vibe that you were writing in...in my unique FILOgirl style of prose.
Then I let it go. Why? It was good! Talked of 'media hype, spoonfed to the sheeple', trust in Kubes for having a pair and high-fiving your 'how it is' style. One of my better posts. But I was afraid it would have been too much for the Chronic. Those here know of my 'no excuses' way of thought, the Chronic crowd aren't conditioned to my ways and logic yet. Great blog! Keep up the great work!

Alot of people say that Mario didn't do anything when he played against a good school.
Julius Peppers didn't do anything when he came to play Texas. |

As posted over at the Chronic - Another great post by our official Texans Bloggette.
Great work on the story Steph - Like you I also havea lot of frustration about our local medias lack of coverage. I tried to keep it civil for the most part and appreciate your candor and information alot on Mario. ![]() I'm really looking forward to your piece on DeMeco of course being the Bama fan I am.[goes looking for a Bama - Roll tide Elephant avatar] hmmm well I guess this is as close as we have - Kind of reminds me of DeMec on the field - Waiting to pounce...Keep up the good work TC - looking forward to reading more from you soon at the blogspace!!
