We were almost robbed as college football fans, but Pac 10 commissioner Tom Hansen made sure that that didn't happen. This weekend's Oregon-ASU game will be shown nationally on FSN and ESPN. Basically, if you're east of the Pacific time zone, the game will be on ESPN. If you live in Pac 10 country,click here to see where you can watch the game.

You know, I should be downright ecstatic that I will attend my first ever Red River Shootout here in a few weeks. And I am...sort of. It is not the RRS itself that mixes my feelings however. It's the simple fact that it's on the same damn day as Florida-LSU. The RRS (according to the Big12Sports.com's TV grid) will kickoff at 2:30 and the Florida-LSU showdown is scheduled to kick at 7. If I'm lucky (by lucky I mean the driver of the Texas Exes bus does 100 the whole way back to Austin), I'll be able to catch part of the second half. The moral of the story, friends, is that it is sometimes hard to perform my duties as a diehard Longhorn fan and my duties as a diehard college football fan. Rest assured though, I am up to the task......... I think.

Right now, my preseason optimism about the Cowboys seems pretty far-fetched. They're losing 20-3 early in the 2nd quarter at Troy, and they simply don't look good at all. I don't know whether Reid is hurt or not, but Zac Robinson is in at quarterback. We were all suspicious of their defense (which has been accurate to this point), but I just thought that their offense would be awesome. They have lots of talent on that side of the ball, but it appears that it's just not clicking. They did struggle at Georgia, but I think most people expected that that would be a very difficult game. I'm not saying that the 'Horns can now walk into Stillwater and expect to win easily, there's still a lot of time before the game for the Pokes to improve. I still think that their offense can explode at any given time (i.e. vs. Nebraska last year) However, I'm far less worried at this point about the game than I was before the season started. As I write this, Robinson throws a TD to Pettigrew to make it 20-10. Time will tell us how tough the Pokes will be this year, and most importantly, how well-tuned they are come November 3rd.

Hilarious!!!

I was not a BON member when the Scott Ware threads were the hot topic, but damn am I glad that they've been immortalized. That is some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard. It would be cool to get something like that going again, although I don't think that it's something you can force. Scott Wares don't just grow on trees...
