Ardent fans of superstar quarterbacks like Florida’s Tim Tebow, Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford and Texas’ Colt McCoy might soon find themselves falling into a trap similar to one that members of the Obama Administration and Congress found themselves earlier this year — that is, they’ll be telling their buddies that their team’s star quarterback is, like [...]

Only hours away from the kickoff of the FedEx BCS National Championship Game in Miami, I find myself reflecting upon how the college football bowl season has kept this former Oklahoma quarterback-turned blogger busy during the last two weeks. The bowl season began for me Dec. 28 when I published my second annual college football [...]

Blogger Shares a Lot in Common with Sam Bradford
January 8th, 2009 · No Comments
I’m excited about the opportunity to watch the #1 Oklahoma Sooners take on the #2 Florida Gators in the BCS National Championship tonight in Miami. Why? Because I share a lot in common with Oklahoma’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford. For instance: I know what it’s like to be the starting quarterback for an Oklahoma [...]

In the first game, played in Pasadena, Calif., the #5 USC Trojans defeated the #8 Penn State Nittany Lions, 38-24, [...]

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 [...]
