2009 Oklahoma Football Preview: State of The Union

Posted by Scipio Tex on September 3rd, 2009 under Football

There are rituals of autumn known to every Sooner. The foliage on the state's dozen trees turn to fiery hues, the summer dust and grit coating tooth relents, and the harvest of copper wiring from homes commences before the bank's short sale. And then there's Sooner football... Oklahoma is led by Heisman Trophy winning QB Sam Bradford - a very

Cotton Bowl Goes Primetime

Posted by srr50 on September 1st, 2009 under Football

Fox lost the BCS to ESPN, but they will hold on to at least one college contest, as the network has renewed its contract with the Cotton Bowl through 2014. The game has a new home, Dallas Cowboys Stadium, and begining in 2011 it will move from an early morning kickoff to a primetime slot. The game will be played between Jan 4-6 from 2001 through 2014, no doubt avoiding any day that the BCS is

2009 Texas Tech Football Preview: State of The Union

Posted by Scipio Tex on August 24th, 2009 under Football

I dreamed it! In my roommate's coke lab!

In 2008, Texas Tech’s Greatest Season Ever was highlighted by Michael Crabtree’s improbable last second tightrope touchdown to upset Texas. At least that’s how I remember it. I can’t seem to find the replay. Tech concluded their Greatest Season Ever by losing a 2nd tier bowl to an Ole Miss team led by Colt McCoy’s understudy and headset Hee-Haw Houston Nutt. They rewarded Mike Leach by nearly driving him away with

The NCAA is putting some teeth into its NCAA Taunting Rules Click the link for Phenom's breakdown of the proposed rule changes; it's well worth the read. My thoughts: I support these stiff penalties wholeheartedly. Why? I just went back and re-watched the '91 Miami Hurricane Cotton Bowl. Love that opening kickoff With these

Live Blogging the Cotton Bowl

Posted by Trips Right on January 2nd, 2009 under

I'm late, sue me. Ole Miss gets the ball. Tech's front seven make two nice plays to put Ole Miss in a hole. Snead with an NFL caliber deep out for a first down. Colt beat this kid out, and quite handily. Jeez, four plays into the game and there is a blocking infraction called on Ole Miss. Where was this crew November 1st. The Rebels can't get

Some thoughts from the game

Posted by Huckleberry on October 11th, 2008 under Uncategorized

I lucked into some tickets at face late on Friday. So I told the old lady to start packing because we were going to Texas/OU for the 4th time. No hesitation whatsoever from her. Of course, I knew there wouldn't be. Why? My wife cares about only one football game all year. This is it. We went to the game three times when we were students and she had the displeasure of

Texas-OU: It Is Kind of a Big Deal Pt. 2

Posted by srr50 on October 8th, 2008 under Football

Taylor TRoom makes an impressive argument for the value of the Texas-OU contest being played in Dallas. He bases it on the neutral site and the national championship implications of the rivalry. Today I would like to make the case for keeping the game the way it is, and where it is, from another angle. This is a unique rivalry because even when the stakes are low on the national scene, or when both teams
