Texas got smoked by UCLA, Oklahoma survived Cincinnati, K-State survived a close call against Central Florida, Nebraska looked lackluster. Not a banner week for the Big 12 as it heads into conference play. Week One was “Tommy Boy” edition http://tinyurl.com/29anpkt, Week Two “Dumb and Dumber” http://tinyurl.com/2aamn56 and Week Three “Napoleon Dynamite” http://tinyurl.com/23rrux5.

Week One, the “Tommy Boy” version http://tinyurl.com/29anpkt. Week Two, the “Dumb and Dumber” edition http://tinyurl.com/2aamn56. What to do for Week Three? Well, since it was on Saturday during the Kansas State game, it’s gotta be the “Napoleon Dynamite” cut of the Big 12 rankings, gosh: 1. Texas (3-0, 1-0): Beat Texas Tech 24-14. The big-spending

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

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

Big 12 resurrection, the movie casting call, Part II

2 Comments / Uncategorized / By

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 …
