Linklater's "Hook 'Em" at Cannes explained?

I'd been wondering why Richard Linklater decided to flash the "Hook 'Em Horns" sign during Cannes last week. Perhaps it's because the local director has been filming a documentary about the Longhorns baseball team, as the Austin American-Statesman reports today. The documentary's been following the college team for the last seven months. The Texas baseball team has won six national championships, but none consecutively -- the documentary will focus on the team's efforts this year to become champions two years in a row. UT gets copies of the footage once shooting is complete. No word yet on the potential audience/distribution: could be theatrical, cable, or PBS.

Thank you for linking to the new blog, and may your marriage be long and happy.
This documentary could be a better movie than the last one with a UT team - Tommy Lee Jones still has some explaining to do about why he chose to make Man of the House.
Jette, we just saw the Puffy Chair this week, with the Duplass Brothers in attendance - it was lots of fun, and there were some great questions. I don't think you were too fond of the many, many close-ups, but I loved that part.
