The mistakes I have made have put my colleagues, my friends and school in harm’s way and they do not deserve to be part of such a bitter cycle.” — Excerpt from a statement of resignation by SMU junior and Texas College Republicans chairman Charlie McCaslin, who resigned from his post on Thursday.

SIDELINE BASEBALL SpringFever RANGERS Texas uses Spring Game to RED SOX take a look at quarterbacks, look at a revamped defense

By Austin Laymance Daily Texan Staff PHILLIES With the spring season in the books, Texas fans head into the summer with a bevy of questions, most notably the naming of a starting quarterback. But it’s not just the Longhorn ASTROS faithful that are unsure who will take that first snap of the 2011 season — the coaches don’t know either. “We really don’t think anyone is ready to take over at this point,” BY THE NUMBERS said head coach Mack Brown.
