Friday, October 10th, 2008Heading into week 7 of our 2008 season, the Big 12 looks stronger than I’ve ever seen it look before. Six teams are ranked in the top 20, with four of the top ten, three of the top five, and in the Coaches’ poll, both of the top two.
Five teams are unbeaten, and we’ve got [...]
Graham Harrell is our Army “Find Your Strength” Player of the Week
Monday, October 6th, 2008Texas Tech prides itself on teamwork, and Head Coach Mike Leach is fond of military labels for his platoon of players. He also is fond of pirates, but that is a different story.
QB Graham Harrell seized the all-time school career passing record this weekend on a magical day at Kansas State. Harrell shocked and awed [...]
Big 12: Top 25 Matchups Don’t Live Here
Friday, September 19th, 2008So here’s the problem with your conference playing three games before Saturday. It’s Friday night, I’m scrambling to write this up, and already two games have been completed and a third is in the second half. I guess you could say my effort this week matches the conference’s effort in their Saturday scheduling, which features [...]
Notes from the Margin: Concussions, spliffs, soft QBs and fumbles
Friday, September 19th, 2008As a major weekend of college football approaches, one that looks to separate the contenders from the imposters.
I scour the nation’s newspapers once more to find out the lowdown on collegiate football’s six major BCS conferences, and find Clemson’s Tommy Bowden telling Cullen Harper (right, Icon SMI) to lay down [...]
Big 12 Week 3 Preview
Thursday, September 11th, 2008Texas
To the surprise of many, Texas looks like they could be the third-best team in the conference, despite huge hype for Texas Tech and Kansas. Colt McCoy has been sizzling in these opening games, and freshman Foswhitt Whittaker stepped up to lead the ground attack. Quan Cosby was the go-to guy this game for McCoy, [...]
Ohio State at USC lead off a great schedule for Week 3
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Three games this week pit Top 25 teams together in non-conference matchups, but the one that will focus the national attention will clearly be on the Rose Bowl where the Ohio State Buckeyes meet the USC Trojans.
I mentioned a couple weeks ago in my Top Games of 2008 that despite ten first-day NFL Draft picks [...]
Big 12 Preview for Week Two
Friday, September 5th, 2008Cincinnati @ Oklahoma
Both teams had impressive week 1’s, but we know who the juggernaut here is. The game is also played in Norman, where OU now has a 55-2 record under Stoops. This game will probably be more ugly than Midwest fans think, as the Sooners will dominate both lines and Sam Bradford looks even [...]
Big 12 Rewind
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Baylor - The Bears saved the ACC from complete and utter humiliation, refusing to upset Atlantic division contender Wake Forest. In fact, they really got blown out here, and given how bad the Deacon offenses is that’s a bad sign. Freshman QB Robert Griffin was the leading rusher with 29, passer with 125, and scorer [...]
