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 [...]

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 [...]

Texas Tech Bounces Back, Defeats Virginia, 31-28
January 1st, 2008 · No Comments
A game-ending 41-yard field goal by Alex Talica sealed the deal for the Texas Tech Red Raiders as they defeated the surprisingly strong Virginia Cavaliers, 31-28, in the Gator Bowl. In a post yesterday, I predicted Coach Mike Leach’s system — Graham Harrell to Mike Crabtree et al — would run roughshod over the boys [...]

Hunger Strike Organizer Lacks Commitment
December 11th, 2007 · 3 Comments
It’s hard to take Luke Johnson’s call for an end to the war in Iraq very seriously. In the video below, the long-haired anti-war activist says he plans to “abstain from eating for a full 72 hours” Jan. 4-6, 2008, while conducting what he calls a “Hunger Strike for Peace” at the Lincoln Memorial in [...]

Sooners Control Own Destiny After Ducks’ Fall
November 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Today, five months after writing and publishing a decidedly anti-Oregon Ducks post, I deliver positive news for the Oklahoma Sooners football team: The number two-ranked Ducks football team got spanked last night by the Arizona Wildcats who, by the way, are coached by Mike Stoops, brother of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. As a result of [...]
