College football fans in Texas appear to be suffering from severe cases of what might best be described as “Irritable Bowl Syndrome,” an affliction caused by a third-place finish in the latest BCS rankings.

The Joke’s on Voters if Oklahoma Sooners Quarterback Sam Bradford Doesn’t Win Heisman
December 7th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Thankfully, Al Franken will have nothing to do with counting Heisman Trophy ballots. If, however, record-setting Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Sam Bradford isn’t named the winner of college football’s Heisman Trophy Dec. 13 in New York City, the joke is likely to be on voters. In Saturday night’s Big 12 Championship at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas [...]

Big 12 Title Game: ‘Like deja vu all over again’
December 1st, 2008 · No Comments
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 [...]
