Oklahoma State Cowboys National Champions?
November 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment
Politics aside for a moment, I must point out the fact that my Oklahoma State Cowboys are on the verge of a 10-win season, a Big 12 South title and a possible BCS bowl bid. Who knows, a 12-win season is possible with wins over Kansas, Oklahoma and a bowl opponent. And a national title [...]

Texas Tech Lets Down Big 12, Falls to Ole Miss
January 2nd, 2009 · 3 Comments
Though I only watched portions of the ATT Cotton Bowl today, the parts I watched showed an ugly effort by Coach Mike Leach’s #7 Texas Tech Red Raiders as they lost in Dallas to Houston Nutt’s #25 Ole Miss Rebels, 47-34. Yes, I know; in my “crystal ball” post last week, I predicted the game [...]

Kansas Defeats Minnesota in Insight Bowl — Yawn
January 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment
The Big 12 North’s Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Big Ten’s Minnesota Golden Gophers, 42-21, late yesterday afternoon in the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. Because the game was aired on NFL Network, I didn’t watch it and will not give spend much time writing about the efforts of these two unranked teams. I will, however, [...]

December 31st, 2008 · No Comments
It appears I blew it when it came to predicting the outcomes of the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl played last night in San Diego. In my second annual college football bowl game predictions post, I had picked #13 Oklahoma State to defeat #17 Oregon, 29-20. Unfortunately, the Ducks had other plans for the Cowboys of [...]
