Big 12 rankings after the third week. It looks like a race for second at this point after Kansas had a big week with back-to-back critical wins. Plus one for a road win, minus one for a road loss. 1. Kansas (20-1, 6-0, +3) – The Jayhawks may have secured the regular-season title last week with a […]

The Good and The Bad in this week’s rankings. Note OSU getting a nice bump with the huge win against K-State, though I don’t expect the Cowboys to finish that high in the standings. For a week at least, they’ve earned it. Plus one for a road win, and minus one for a home loss.

I read somewhere you should blog three or four times a week to build a following. Once every three weeks probably isn’t going to cut it. My apologies to the six people who actually do read it. Now, on to the Big 12, the best conference in college basketball (yes, better than the Big Overrated

“Time, why you punish me, like a wave passing into the shore, you wash away my dreams …” I was going to blog about 2009. Seemed to make sense considering today is the last of the year. It was an interesting year. One that included everything from three apartments to two jobs to one (or
We live in a strange society. People slow down to see the carnage in wrecks, others can’t look away at awkward scenes in movies (Am I the only person who changes the channel when I know somebody is about to be embarrassed?), some listen to crap like Marilyn Manson. A lot of morbid stuff out
Miscellaneous notes, news and thoughts on Big Ten expansion and Missouri potentially leaving the Big 12: Megaconference coming? Much of the speculation this week has been about the Big Ten adding Missouri, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, etc. But according to the Chicago Tribune’s Teddy Greenstein, the conference may look at adding up to five schools.

Missouri to the Big Ten. If you’d asked me that two months ago, I’d say the odds were about 10,000-to-1. Last week, 100-to-1. But if the following report http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/chi-15-big-ten-foot-dec15,0,2684882.story is true and the conference looks to expand, Missouri needs to aggressively pursue an invite. Here’s a breakdown of some of the advantages and disadvantages

1. Wonder Years: Yes, Seinfeld is my favorite show, followed by The Office and Cheers, but those shows are available in syndication and on DVD. The Wonder Years? It’s only on in Canada right now. And it may never be in syndication because the RIAA thinks it should be paid a fortune for the rights to

I love notes columns. No one did it better than longtime Topeka Capital-Journal writer/editor Pete Goering … TCU vs. Boise State. Seriously? It’s hard enough for the little guys in college football in this archaic system to get a shot at the big time. So two mid-majors have a monster season, and they’re reward is

I was going to blog about the BCS rankings and make a case for TCU to play Alabama for the national championship. I figured this would be somewhat easy because the Horned Frogs have dominated basically all season. While you can make a case for TCU, you can also make good ones for Cincinnati and Texas.
Forget about the rankings, it’s time for a college football playoff Read More »
