In a manner reminiscent of Col. Nathan Jessep, Jack Nicholson’s character in A Few Good Men, I’m tempted to tell Texas Longhorns football fans, “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!” It appears, however, that someone beat me to the punch when it comes to clearly spelling out lessons learned by fans on both sides of the [...]

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 [...]

BCS Formula Places Oklahoma Over Texas (Updated)
November 29th, 2008 · 39 Comments
ATTENTION: People who cast votes in the polls that count toward college football’s BCS rankings. A new formula suggests the Oklahoma Sooners squad is the clear-cut winner in the Big 12 South. Now that a three-way tie exists between the Oklahoma Sooners, Texas Longhorns and Texas Tech Red Raiders, I have a suggestion for resolving [...]

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 [...]

Oklahoma vs. Texas — Liveblogging the 2nd Half
October 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments
The Oklahoma Sooners went into the locker room at halftime, leading the Texas Longhorns 21-20. Soon after the second half began, Bob Stoops’ club continued to battle the same 11 players and game officials as they did in the first half. Replays clearly show two personal foul calls against Oklahoma linebacker Travis Lewis should not [...]

Sooners Rank Too Low in USA TODAY Coaches Poll
August 2nd, 2008 · No Comments
Big-time college football coaches across the country ranked the Oklahoma Sooners fourth in the USA TODAY Coaches’ Poll released Friday. I, for one, however, believe the Crimson and Cream’s ranking is too low. OFFENSE My optimism about the Sooners rests largely upon the fact that coach Bob Stoops will have 6′ 5″ sophomore Sam Bradford [...]
