Ah Scipio — the UNSAVORY BOWL. Wonderful. And what would the trophy look like for said game?

Handcuffs around a bottle of snake oil mounted on a partially burned copy of NCAA rulebook with numbers of Bail Bondsmen on the back cover?

I have always had a list of teams (outside the big 8/XII) that I just couldn’t like or root for and eventually I grew to hate them. The list has slightly adjusted over the years but in general the top three or four teams have always remained the same.

The teams I have maintained a

When one conjures up images of Miami most are the picturesque pearl beaches and aqua-green waters of Key Biscayne, flamingos, scantily-clad women on South Beach and the glitz and glamor of the neon skyline.

However, for the Sooner Nation, most still have nightmarish images of Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Vinny Testaverde and

Only six games involving Big 12 teams and five conference teams taking the week off. I believe there’s a Tony Robbins retreat scheduled at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City

My Dad grew up near La Grange, so I’ve spent a fair amount of time in that area during my life. I took a shit in Giddings once, say around 1990 or so.

I may or may not have an internet crush on Scipio for his ability to use the English language in such creative and stimulating ways. The elephant analogy was fabulous.

I was so sad to hear about Griffin. Tough loss for Baylor. But, perhaps we’ll see exactly how good of a coach Briles

Both. Nebraska’s schedule is such that if they beat us, it is going to be tough to get ahead of them for the North title. I realize that winning the North serves only to offer us up to the alter of the South, but that’s the only route to a BCS bowl and

parlin –

Pelini camo is effective, but I was actually just looking at our opponents. That’s why no coverage of ISU, KSU either.

parlin commented on the blog post Football Around the Big 12 1 hour, 56 minutes ago

Scipio, your post confirms Pelini’s “camouflage” factor vis-à-vis press coverage. He’s such a strangely two-dimensional personality that people can do write-ups of the Big 12 and stop after 11 teams, forgetting to mention him.

It’s great that Tiger fans bring this blind spot to your attention: they hold bitterness in their hearts still, and can

Absolutely, there are several non-BCS teams that have a chance to crash the party. The lack of undefeated BCS conference teams at the same time there is potential for several undefeated non-BCS teams could make things very interesting. I like interesting.

Thanks, man.

Gene Claude:

Regarding a preference for beating NU over UT – are your feelings strategic in terms of the Big 12 North title game or are you simply motivated by a desire to crush Nebraska?

What about UH? They have better non-conference wins than Boise St. and will be favored in the rest of their games provided they keep winning. This is going to get real interesting with the possibility of Bama/Florida, Texas (fingers crossed), UH, and Boise St going undefeated. Not to mention TCU. I want as many teams

BCS Guru has put together a preliminary BCS poll based on the human polls and 4 of the 6 computer polls. He also points out some very valid criticisms of the human polls.

The biggest beneficiary of the RG4 tragedy and the Leachplosion is likely Nebraska. Having to play at KU and at Missouri put them in the hole to start, and a road trip to Waco was looking like a possible deal breaker, not to mention TT at home. Now they can afford to drop

Tim, I always appreciate your optimism, and in this case, I share it. We’ve got to keep Batch/Jeffers/Stephens involved thoughout the game, if not run the offense through them.

Good write up, and completely agree ded this is a good football team.

The reason Tech gets to keep Leach is because his insanity scares off all the schools that he is interested in. Sometimes you gotta take the bad with the good. He is still an offensive genius.

Mike Leach is not a genuis. Mike Leach is an idiot savant.

With a full month of football in the books, we have a deep enough database of non-conference games to take a look at how inter-league play has gone so far among the BCS conferences. First a couple of generalities.

Obviously the six BCS conferences know they are working from a position of strength
