  • I'd love to play poker against #Missouri BOC. They're fumbling through this presser trying to hide that they are leaving and failing #Big12 #
  • #KansasState is looking pretty good out there. They are giving up some scores but they play better in the 2nd half. #SunflowerShowdown #
  • I seriously think Turner Gill's job is in trouble now. He smells of Ron Prince. #KansasState #Kansas #BorderShowdown #Big12 #EMAW #

GameDay: Rivalry Awry

Leave a comment

Well, Missouri had their Board of Curators meeting in Kansas City, Missouri this week.  After the long battle to decide teacher stuff, the administrators for the university came out to do a press conference and somewhat announce their intentions on conference realignment.  They did their best to say that they are exploring their options, but fumbled about and pretty much exposed their favor for the SEC.  They also tried to leave an open for their rival.

Pick It and Stick It 2011 Week 08: Ready, Flick, Fight!

Leave a comment

It’s high time to duke it out on the field for dominance on the college football landscape.  The unbeatens will dwindle down here real soon, if not this weekend, and it’s everyone team for themselves.  Please remember, however, by fighting I mean actually playing tough football.  I do not mean actually fighting the opposing players.  It seems in the last couple of weeks some players have been confused and took to fisticuffs.  Heck 41 players are suspended because of a big brawl that happened last weekend.  Please, when you go out there fight well in terms of football, not Mortal Kombat.  Now, it’s time to go over the Pick It and Stick It and look for some fatalities.  Finish Him!

Barspotting: Lavaca Street Bar

Leave a comment

It’s all downhill from here.  We are halfway through the season and I’ve had some sweat bars to check out around the Austin area already.  Now, I was real close to the big hoopla that is sixth street downtown, but I managed to stay just far away enough not to be in the heart of it.  Well, this week I’m taking one step closer to some of the bars around the much hyped street way.  Saturday, I’ll be heading to the Lavaca Street Bar.  Now, I’ve been there before waiting for a band to got started across the way at Antone’s so I know what it’s like.  I haven’t seen it on a college football Saturday, however.

Crib Sheet: Hello Goodbye

Leave a comment

We may be seeing the search for Missouri end real quick.  We also may see the search for the Big 12 heat right up.  The Tigers are planning on leaving for the SEC and we may know about it here by tomorrow.  Alot of people, including myself, thought that they would wait unilt the end of the season to get the ball rolling but apparently they want to move fast.  So in the middle of the football season, we will see even more conference realignment.  I’m just going to avert my eyes from the pain and check out this week’s Crib Sheet:

Pick It Standings 2011 Week 07: BCS Countdown is a Go

Leave a comment

Finally, the week has come.  That week I’m talking about is the BCS Standings Week 1.  We’ve been hemming and hawing about who’s best and who’s overrated.  Now we the dip stick to check the levels of college football awesomeness. There are some surprises and not so surprises in the fresh standings.  But we’ll get to that later.  We also have a new week of Pick It and Stick It Standings to go over.  Will Keltron3000 hold the top spot or will some young up and comer take over and turn the league upside down.  It’s too close to call so let’s check it out right now.

GameDay: Harmless Rival Fun

Leave a comment

So last week there was a big stink about what some Texas Tech fans did to the bus for the outgoing Texas A&M Aggies before their game.  Apparently, there was some messages painted on the buses and some stank smell planted within.  Both administrators for the schools came out afterward and fanned the flame of this story.  The Aggie administrator complained about the total lack of class exhibited by the Tech folk.  The Tech administrator played down the type of things used in the defacing and stated that they provided some farewell fruit basket before the game.  What side do you fall on?  Was it harmless fun or totally classless?

Pick It and Stick It 2011 Week 07: Dripping Down the Middle

1 Comment

It’s the middle of the season and we are looking completely different from where we thought we were at.  That’s okay.  That’s how college football works.  The way things changed week to week is what makes it the best sport in my mind and hopefully yours.  So will the rest of the season prove even more unpredictable?  We’ve yet to see any real upsets yet and we’re knee-deep into conference play.  So chances are the 13 or so undefeated teams will start to dwindle down.  I know this will happen because sports writers are talking about the possibility of 4 undefeated teams at the end of the season.  Here’s this week’s pick set:

Barspotting: Pluckers

Leave a comment

We are halfway through the season and it is time to get all franchised up in here.  That’s right, for the mid-season barspot, we’ll be heading to one of the local franchise Pluckers Wing Bar.  Outside of the tasty appetizer I had at the Draft Pick, there has been no major wing place I’ve been to this year.  So, I’ll be trolling South Lamar looking for the hottest wings they can muster.  It’s the Southwest, they damn well better be way hotter than Buffalo Wild Wings’ tame excuse for nuclear hot wings.  Plus, there’s some games!  Join us!

Crib Sheet: Horned Frogs Homecoming

Leave a comment

In today’s college football, things can change dramatically week to week both on the field and off.  One week, Missouri is leaving the Big 12 and will blow up the conference.  The next, the Big 12 invites TCU to  join to lock things up.   TCU head honchos met to make it a done deal.  They made the announcement Monday night.  I can breathe a sigh of relief because for the first time, the Big 12 will actually grow and Missouri should stay put for the rest of the year.  We’ll have to find out next week if something else that’s huge will go down.  In the meantime, here’s this week’s Crib Sheet:

Pick It Standings 2011 Week 06: Consistency Counts

Leave a comment

We are still neck and neck.  It’s been 6 weeks and the difference between first place and last place is about 4 points.  I was hoping that changing up the league this year will lead to this and now we are seeing it in its full force.  Another hope for change for me was Kansas State’s winning ways.  They seem to be straight up and consistent and its been working for them up today.  They are 5-0.  That kind of consistency also leads to winning ways for Pick It and Stick It.  Let’s check out the standings:

Cuatros Makes It Count

Leave a comment

It has been a long time since I’ve seen some rain.  I would’ve never thought that it would take this long living down here in Texas to see a downpour.  What’s even more incredible is that this here downpour came in the middle of a barspot that featured an outside patio for most of the bar!  That’s right, Cuatros was the place to be last Saturday and I had the opportunity to watch some football both inside and outside.  So, yes, I got a little wet but it was totally worth it for the great time that I had there.
