Utah Ranked Above Oklahoma State in BCS?
November 2nd, 2008 · 14 Comments
I’ve been so busy writing about politics during the past few weeks that I haven’t had time to cover college football much. Tonight, however, I had to share my disgust with the latest BCS rankings. Somehow, those rankings place the Utah Utes above my Oklahoma State Cowboys. My question is, “How?” A comparison of the [...]

Missouri Pummels Arkansas, 38-7
January 1st, 2008 · No Comments
As predicted in my post yesterday, the Missouri Tigers soundly defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks, 38-7, in the Cotton Bowl today. Most surprising about the game — other than the greater-than-predicted margin — was the manner in which the Tigers, lead by Heisman finalist Chase Daniel, manhandled the head coachless Hogs. In addition to a strong [...]

OU Fan Shares Observation with Tigers Faithful

Congratulations to everyone associated with the Missouri Tigers football program. Never during the seven years since my family moved to Missouri from God’s Country (a.k.a., Oklahoma) has my fanhood faced as many challenges as it has this year. When I say “fanhood,” I’m referring to my staunch loyalty to the team I’ve followed since birth [...]
