It is Wednesday two days before one of the biggest rivalries in Big 12 and the nation, the Red River Shootout. This game will have two of the top quarterbacks in the country (sorry Chase) in the game with Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford. As a Texas fan, you have to be happy at the way Colt is protecting the ball, and how he is now making plays with his feet.
I know a lot of Texas and Oklahoma fans who wish that they could just take a little cat nap and when they wake up it is Gametime! Wouldn't we all love to do that!?!!? But just think if you did that, you would miss out on all of the trash talk during the week that leads up to the game. Peter Bean wastes no bones and tells us what
he thinks of Oklahoma.

By now we all know about the ever so popular
Fulmer Cup that Spencer runs at EDSBS, but that only includes incidents by football players. I am hereby starting a grassroots program to have Marching Bands added to the Fulmer Cup for this offseason.
You ask why? In the past two weeks
two marching bands have been suspended for sexual harrassment among other things. Those bands are UC Davis and the Wisconsin's band. It's too easy to make the..."This one time...at band camp" joke here.
It's week six and two topics will be ramping up in interest in the coming weeks, the Heisman Trophy talk and the BCS debate. The first we have to deal with...the second well a lot of us have a problem with. If you are really jonesing for some Heisman rankings, go over to
The Quad as they have ranked their top 5 players.
The BCS standings don't come out for a few weeks, due to the fact that many computer polls are not up to date yet, but with the Harris Poll now officially published and 5 of the 6 computer rankings out,
Jeremy over at MWC breaks down some of the rankings.
I mentioned in the last post about how Adam and I are going to talk about some surprise story lines so far this season. Bruce Feldman at ESPN.com has a nice list of the
top 5 compelling story lines so far this season.
Predictions, predictions, and more predictions. We all love making them and feel even better when they come right. One person who I trust making predictions is my pal Jim Gindin over at Football Frontier. He's great at breaking down games and finding the strengths and weaknesses in a team.
Check out his predicitions for this weekend.
