* The Scoop Brothers - CBSSports.com | This is a great story and I don't know if anyone recalls, but brother Pete emailed me to let me know he broke one of the position coaches being hired at Texas Tech. I showed him the timeline where actually it was RRS.com. He got mad, said he didn't know about RRS.com. I told him that it didn't matter if he knew about them or not, they beat Pete by a few hours with the news. I think he then called me a name and told me I was juvenile or something like that.
