Borrowing from Yogi Berra, I must say something about the Big 12 Conference Championship set to take place Saturday between the #2 Oklahoma Sooners and #20 Missouri Tigers: “This is like deja vu all over again.” There are, of course, some obvious differences such as the fact that the 2008 title game is taking place [...]

Things worked out for the Oklahoma Sooners after all as they leapfrogged over the Texas Longhorns (now #3) and Florida Gators (now #4) into the #2 spot in college football’s BCS standings released this afternoon.

Bob Stoops’ fifth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners delivered the #2 Texas Tech Red Raiders football program its worst defeat ever — that’s right, EVER! — a 65-21 drubbing Saturday night at The Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium in Norman.* More importantly, however, the boys in Crimson ‘n’ Cream sent a strongly-worded message to the rest of the college [...]

As a college football fan and political junkie, I see similarities in the seemingly-disparate activities which lead me to believe John McCain can succeed by waging a fourth-quarter comeback over Barack Obama.

Stepping away from politics for a moment, I had to point out one of the best graphics I’ve seen online in quite a while — the teaser that appeared on the front page of ESPN’s college football section and points to the College GameDay Final report about the battles between four Big XII Conference “unbeatens” [...]
