I’m not a video poster. And not a huge banana-eater. But I am in love with this banana man. He says so earnestly at the end of this under-a-minute video, “My whole adult life, I never knew the right way to open a banana. And now you do too,” that I cannot HELP but post…

Texas 360 Now: Former Longhorns Come to the Web
Both the Statesman and TexasSports.com have covered this, but I think it’s just too cool not to jump on the bandwagon: on Monday, TJ Ford, Royal Ivey, Kevin Durant, D.J. Augustin, and LaMarcus Aldridge launched a website to connect with fans and basically just share their lives: www.texas360now.com. I’ll let TJ Ford, who pairs with…
