I got up way early in the morning for college football last week, but I also took some time out Thursday to watch some games as well.  It was better than Saturday.  But hey, at least Kansas State kept laying that wood.  I’ll talk about them as well as Texas Tech, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Texas, Case McCoy, Jonathan Gray, Malcom Brown, West Virginia, TCU, Iowa State, LSU, Alabama, Michigan, Nebraska, Bo Pelini, and Brady Hoke.

Stadiumspotting Was Back At Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium

Time to dust to cobwebs again.  This time, I was actually at a football stadium to watch live college football!  So I don’t travel as much anymore which means that it was again at Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium.  And yes, it was again Kansas State taking on the Texas Longhorns.  While the outcome was different, the tailgating was not and it still made for a fantastic experience.

In a week where there were no real matchups to watch, I found myself off at Darrel K. Royal Memorial Stadium to watch my Kansas State Wildcats take on the Texas Longhorns.  It didn’t get exciting until the end but the whole stadium experience made up for it.

Pick It and Stick It: Coming Up Dry

indynosepcking

Last week wasn’t too hot for me but at least I had the Game of the Century of the Week called.  In fact, there were so many great games last week, I almost didn’t mind that I did pretty dang poorly in the picks.  Well, I hope this week I hit hard on my picks because the slate of games looks pretty dang dry.   Let’s see what we got.

Crib Sheet: It’s PMA Day

There could be a big ole disparaging parenthetical here about how the Big 12 will go away and how badly it will affect my peeps and schools back home around the Kansas City area, but I’m deciding that we’ll focus on the good things this week.  Sure there may be moves, but our teams will play this Saturday and many Saturdays to come.  Whether or not they will play for a national title might still be going away real quickly, we’ll get enjoy the regional rivals and funky inter-conference matchups.  It’s time for some PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) and for this week’s Crib Sheet: Continue reading Crib Sheet: It’s PMA Day

Crib Sheet: Spring Fever Pitch

Spring is in the air and unfortunately, some of it stinks.  Now I could be talking about the Fiesta Bowl scandal or perhaps the NFL lockout.  Nope, it’s none of that.  It’s the fact that I have to suffer through another summer of baseball before the real American pasttime takes the stage.  Fortunately for me I have the Crib Sheet to keep my occupied.  Oh and thank you Beano Cook for being awesome.

  • Now that the Fiesta Bowl report came out and the bowl’s CEO John Junker got canned, people are speculating about the BCS and its ties with the Fiesta Bowl, including David Ubben.  It seems that the Cotton Bowl and its home, the Jerry Jones Cowboys Stadium spectacular, would be a great fit for the BCS.  It is the largest football stage out there.  If the BCS moves forward with Cotton, then this report and subsequent firing will also seem a little to coincidental.  The real loser here is the cancelled spring retreat for the Fiesta Bowl.  Well, that and the FEC complaint against the Fiesta Bowl filed by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.  It’s nothing a meeting with the NCAA can’t fix.
  • A former Texas A&M coach said that Willie Lyes, the same guy who was paid $25,000 from Oregon and is under NCAA investiagion, approached him and stated that he had beat $80,000 for a star recruit.  With all of this money blowing up and flowing around college football, it was onlya a matter of time that recruitment services looking to get a cut of the pic made moves like these.
  • Former Kansas assistant athletic director Rodney Jones gets 4 years in jail for the $2 million dollar ticket scandal involving him and some other cohorts, including Kassie Liebsch who got 3 years.  I’m pretty sure he’s going to get the fluffly white color crime prison and not the dark, stank, blue collar crime prison.  Still, he was all Niagara Falls during the sentencing.  Yet, ticket scalpding still goes on.
  • The Pac 10 is open for business and they’re letting the world know it.  The exclusive negotiating rights for Fox expired and now it’s time to shop the conference across all of the television networks.  Oh, they’ll get bank.  It’s the big time now.
  • ESPN filed suit against Conference USA for dipping into the FX deal for prime time football games.  It’s always cute when television stations and football conferences fight.
  • Soslan Gagloev was a Russian in Japan’s waters and kicking it sumo style.  And he was winning.  But he was busted for weed and now he’s playing some college football at Webber International Univeristy.  Defensive back he ain’t.  That said, sumo and any other kind of wrestling requires leverage work and that applies fantastically to line work in football.  He should do alright.
  • Here’s a shocker:  drug policies across all facets of college sports completely varies in policy.  I think the AP suggests to streamline the whole process.
  • Colt McCoy’s younger brother, Case, is looking to take the reigns for the Texas Longhorns.  He had a stellar spring practice.  Who knows?  Maybe that magic can happen again.
  • Speaking of Texas, their new network will be called the ‘Longhorn Network.’ There’s no deal for satellite deistributors but I’m guessing that it will blow up once they annoucne a couple of football games on the network.
