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

“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
