A Better Big 12 For 2012
Ah yeah, the Big 12 is back baby! Oh well, it didn’t really go anywhere. Compared to last year, this offseason was a walk in the park. Why is that? Well, we have some new faces in the mix and some old faces hit the road. I think truly for the first time in the last 3 years, there is some stability here. That makes me happy. What makes me happier is the new season so let’s see how this conference shakes out. Continue reading A Better Big 12 For 2012

College Football Lost It’s Gloss But Not It’s Heart
Wow, what a year it has been for college football. Okay, it’s kind of cliché but what I thought would be a rather quiet off-season after a bogus BCS National Championship game, turned into a major circus yet once again. Yes, there were ups and downs but mostly downs. I think this off-season fully solidified the fact that college football is all about the money. I’m going to do my best to hold on to the tradition as tight as I can before it all goes away. Seriously, I’m not trying to bum you out. We did get some great news too.

Who boy it’s that time of year again. Yup, I’m postponing filming the ole podcast to crap out this info fast and furious. College football season is less than a week and a half away and to be honest I haven’t done a thing. So first things first, time to sign up for Pick It and Stick It. Yes, it’s back again, but this time I’m keeping the chatter on Yahoo! It doesn’t make sense for me to regurgitate stuff back from the fantasy league. But all is not lost.

Purple Yeti Roar 28: Media Daze
Welcome back to another week fo the Purple Yeti Roar. I’m so completely dazed by the sports media this week that I had to take some extra sips of my bold beverage. You see, I was excited to hear about college football but what I got was a double knockout punch of Penn State and Olympic coverage. I’m fully recovered and ready to talk about that as well as the Big 12, Joe Paterno, Twitter, Silas Redd, USC, LSU, and Rob Bolden.

Purple Yeti Roar 27: A Cold Wind A Blown’ From Up North
It’s getting chilly down here in Austin in the middle of July. Wah, you say? Yes, but not that kind of chill. It’s the kind that’s blowing over college football and it’s coming from Happy Valley. This week I try to stay warm and protected from the goings on at Penn State as well as talking about Joe Paterno, Jerry Sandusky, NCAA, Iowa, Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, Missouri, Gary Pinkel, Kansas State, and Collin Klein.
