I haven't listened to any sports shows, so I don't know if anyone is talking about the critical blown call that went in UT's favor: the bogus defensive pass interference call when McCoy was about to be sacked deep in his own territory, and heaved it out of bounds. It was clearly not a catchable ball: it was 5 yards beyond the receiver and 15 feet in the air when it crossed the sideline.
That set them up for a field goal, without which they would have lost.

If today's Texas plays today's Alabama in January, there are going to be elephant-shaped footprints all over Bevo.

They're sending a group around to promote OTC. This was on a Shreveport station:

It's not Big XII, but...
Boise State proved today why no one cares that they're undefeated, and why they'll remain without respect until they join a real conference.
Boise State and Idaho both entered the game with 4 WAC wins, but Boise won 63(!!!) to 25. Seriously, what kind of beer league do you play in where you can score 63 points on a team that was 4-2 in conference play?

What are the restricted dates on the bring-a-friend passes?
My 2009 experience (first time I've bought season passes) left me with a bitter taste because the date restrictions were not what I expected when I purchased the season passes.

Texas could only manage a 35-3 win over UCF, a middling C-USA opponent?
Unless they didn't play anyone 2nd string or higher, that should actually move UT down in the ratings.
Alabama got yet another of those SEC miracle calls that seem to favor a Bama/UF championship matchup.
Hogs looked good in their win over South Carolina. I couldn't believe Spurrier wasted two timeouts and tried to burn his third in their first possession, less than 6 minutes into the first quarter.

Just to thrust a little SEC news into the forum, the horrible Mark Curles officiating crew has been suspended until November 14, pending review.
While I'm a huge Razorbacks fan, I'm not a Gator hater. If Florida had legitimately won that game, I'd shrug it off and remind everyone that the Hogs are a rebuilding team of freshman, and just wait 'til next year!
Yes, the Hogs blew some game-winning scoring opportunities (two missed short FGs, one overthrown TD pass). On the other hand, the winning margin was a field goal... not the 4th quarter FG Florida made, but the FG Florida kicked when the play clock read :00 before the snap.
I am forgiving of officiating mistakes, and I don't think we should overly scrutinize live mistakes under a microscope with instant replay and high def. But, if a crew makes mistakes, those mistakes should balance out for both teams. That obviously didn't happen in UA@UF. Six sacks, four forced fumbles, constant backfield penetration, and not a single holding penalty, even accidental or unintentional? Sorry, that just doesn't add up. (Especially when you watch the game and see holding on almost every UF snap.)
Final score: Razorbacks 20, Gators 10, Zebras 13.

Texas barely beat a second-string freshman QB on Saturday. I was not very impressed.

As I said on Facebook, if Bradford breaks that easily, he should take up chess.
OSU beat Mizzou. One of my fraternity pledge brothers posted pics of his wife and Garth Brooks before the game. (I'm kinda ashamed of him, since we're from Arkansas!)
I'm very surprised that OSU scheduled a conference contender for Homecoming -- almost as amazed as I was to learn that Florida scheduled Arkansas for Homecoming. It's an insult to be scheduled as the Homecoming opponent, because it implies you're an automatic blowout. Florida found out different! No matter what that lying scoreboard said, the final score at The Swamp was: Razorbacks 20, Gators 10, Zebras 13.

I can't hate on Holliday. One error in 63 regular season games, and that was his second since joining the team.
Yeah, it was critical. Yeah, it sucks to be him. But I still can't hate on him for playing his best, especially since he's one of the key players who got us to the post-season.

A local buddy is from KCMO, and a Missouri grad.
I couldn't help it: I had to post on his Facebook wall:
"Lessee... Chiefs still suck, your ATM card got skimmed and your account raided, you had an IT audit at work, Mizzou gave up 27 in the fourth quarter.
"Wow... this just ain't your week, pardner!"

Part of LaRussa's success is that he sticks to the formula: he plays the statistical probability. He never makes emotional decisions.
But every now and then, particularly when you've got some slumping players, you need to go with your gut and shake things up.

The way the bullpen has been performing lately, it scared me when they didn't let Waino finish the game.
Franklin scares the crap out of me in general, but especially with a 1 run lead in the bottom of the 9th.
And this is why.
