Big 12 Game Of The Week

Texas can save us a lot of fretting if they would just lose to Kansas today but I wouldn’t bet on that happening. However, it doesn’t mean that I won’t cheer or hope for it. A Texas loss in Lawrence would put the Sooners in control of their own destiny once more. I just don’t see Kansas having the firepower to match-up with Texas. The Jayhawks average 34.5 points per game but that is just a little off the pace from the Longhorns 44.3.

The thing to watch here is going to be the Longhorns play on the offensive line. Due to an injury and some racism the Longhorns find themselves playing their third string center against Kansas. If the Jayhawks can find a way to exploit that then things could get interesting.

Big 12 Football Schedule

11:30 – Texas at Kansas

2:30 – Nebraska at Kansas State

3:00 – Texas A&M at Baylor

5:30 – Missouri at Iowa State

7:00 – OSU at Colorado

Nationally I’m interested in seeing Steve Spurrier’s return to the swamp. South Carolina shouldn’t be able to give the Gators a game but then again Mississippi shouldn’t have either. Then there’s Notre Dame and Navy. This game will be interesting just because when you think that the Irish are improving they drop another game in the tank. We also have to keep a watchful eye on Mississippi State/Alabama. Not because we actually think that the Bulldogs can win but because, just like the Kansas game, we can hope.

I'm hoping

the flying Manginos or fighting Manginos or whatever they are called put the whoop-ass on the Whorns. Both teams deserve that out come.

That didn't work out for us.

Someone has to lose today. Maybe it’ll be Bama.

It sure didn't

Reesing looked like it his first time on a football field. Every single team I was wanting to yesterday LOST. Only Cincinnati got a win. That means next weekend the outcome will be much better. :-)

The Bulldogs are putting up a good fight so far.

Sunday morning

well, that was a boring day of football. No real big games. The Minnesota/Wisconsin game was interesting. USC had a game against Stanford, and the more I see USC, the more they are going to the Rose Bowl.

Texas is good, and while I’ve read all the articles saying if OU wins out, we will be higher rated then the horns, but I’m a little worried. OSU looked tough against a not good Colorado team. Florida looks to me the best team in the country right now. The NC looks to be SEC winner vs Big 12 South winner.

The good news, my 2nd Alma Marta Colorado State won, and needs one more win against Wyoming to be bowl eligible. (They need Utah to beat BYU and go to the BCS to free up a bowl opening for the Mtn West)

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

USC

Only way USC gets in the Rose Bowl is if Oregon State loses one of their last two games. They own the tiebreak.

Sad, just sad.

It’s not going to make any difference what the Sooners do. Anybody watch “Gameday”? Even though Fowler was a little taken-a-back by Howards remarks; said he would still vote Tech higher than OU if Tech LOSES a close one in Norman, it goes to show you what kind of morons have a say in how the college season will shake out. OU to the Cotton Bowl to play LSU. Sad, just sad.
