Last week it was “Tommy Boy.” This week, another great 90s flick: “Dumb and Dumber.” A special thanks to the imbed Nazis at youtube who make writing a blog including your videos TWICE AS TIME-CONSUMING … 1. Oklahoma (2-0): Sure, Florida State, as usual, is overrated and plays in a conference that might as well drop to […]

I’m going to miss Sweet Lew Perkins. The Kansas AD has been such an easy target of late, whether it’s ticket scandals, angling for free exercise equipment he never used, taking private jets and limos to games or attempting to bully female TV reporters, he’s chicken soup for the soul of bloggers. Thing is, Perkins

A blog about something other than sports? Really? Oh, it be so …. Move it or lose it … I’ve grown to loathe Highway 75. That the hour commute to and from work ends in one week makes me pretty damn happy. Nothing’s worse than slow drivers. Especially on a two-lane highway. But I did

Seventy-three days between blogs. That’s how I roll. At least now we’ve got something to talk about … college football. I’ll try to update this weekly. That’s the promise I’m making to the three people who read this blog. Week One rankings, “Tommy Boy” edition: 1. Texas (1-0): The Longhorns struggled a bit without Colt McCoy

Last week I blogged about a Big 12 resurrection movie and which actors would play the various roles (http://tinyurl.com/2bsfopb). Unfortunately, I didn’t bother casting for cameos and lesser roles (I figured Jesus as DeLoss Dodds and Yoda as Lew Perkins couldn’t be topped). But a lot of folks (OK, more than three) seemed to enjoy it. So

It’s not that I hate soccer (seriously, I don’t). It’s just not that interesting a sport. Yeah, the rest of the world loves futbol, but we Americans would rather listen to Celine Dion sing “Shook me all night long” than watch a nil-nil game. And, yes, she did actually butcher the legendary AC/DC song. The

Thousands of columns, stories and blogs have been written about conference expansion lately, particularly how the seemingly dead Big 12 (minus-2, or does Texas count for three?) was saved. The story had so many twists and turns, there should be a movie. So who’s going to play who in this epic? Here are a few ideas …

1. Kansas (26-1, 12-0, +6): Closing on yet another Big 12 championship. Projection: 29-2, 15-1. 2. Kansas State (22-4, 9-3, +2): Clearly the second-best team in the league. Projection: 25-5, 12-4. 3. Texas A&M (19-7, 8-4, +2): Aggies have won five of six. Projection: 22-8, 11-5. 4. Baylor (20-6, 7-5, +1): Outside of win at

Not much change. Plus one for a road win. Minus one for a home loss. 1. Kansas (25-1, 11-0, +6): Can only lose the conference title with an epic collapse. Projection: 30-1, 16-0. 2. Kansas State (20-4, 7-3, +2): Rolling in the midst of soft part of conference schedule. Projection: 25-5, 12-4. 3. Texas A&M

So I got ripped for having Missouri second last week. I would like thank the Aggies for putting a clown suit on that ranking (I deserved it). A look at my Big 12 rankings midway through the conference season (plus-1 for a road win, minus-1 for a home loss): 1. Kansas (22-1, 8-0, +4): The
