As I sit here and type, I’m watching the Chiefs-Colts game and wondering if Todd Haley is drunk. An onside kick on the road against Indianapolis on the opening kickoff? Going for it on fourth-and-2 down 3-0 in the first quarter … and HAVING MATT CASSEL THROW on that play when you’ve got two great […]

We’re five weeks into the season. And what have we learned? Oklahoma and Nebraska are probably the best teams in the league, Kansas is bad, really bad, and Colorado fans are desperate for success. Oh, that and the eight or nine people who read this blog enjoy the ongoing theme of rankings with movies. With

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.

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

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

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 …

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

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
