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 [...]
