Just read an article on ESPN that stated that the Big 10 will be "aggressive" in finding a 12th team to add to their conference.  I'm sorry but my linking skills are poor so I will let someone else post the actual article.  Would the Big 10 be interested at all in Iowa St?  I don't think so either, but it does start an interesting chain reaction.  If the Big 10 were to take Iowa St. to pair with Iowa in the new Big 10 conference, it would open a spot in the Big 12.  Who does the Big 12 invite as a replacement for Iowa St.?  TCU?  Hmmm......interesting.

Jerry Palm says it is official.  We will be in the national championship game.  The other teams will be begging for other BCS game slots.  So tell TCU fans that they can go to hell.  Also, Cincy can go play some Big 10 team.  Go Horns, go Colt, Go the University of Texas Longhorns.  Mt. cody will be a lot easier to play then Suh.  Anybody says anything else can suck it.  Yes, I have been drinking.

What if, and this is merely speculation at this point, Texas plays the perfect game?  The UT offense is firing on all cylinders.  The defense turns it up to 11.  Special teams gives a score and great field position all day.  Does OU have any shot to win or is it just about keeping it close?  I assume our ceiling is higher then OU's , but is there an ass-spanking of epic proportions if everything goes right?

He's a bad bad man!

I don't know if anybody else noticed, but when John Chiles caught the ball against ULM he looked to inflict harm on the guys trying to tackle him.  That young man is going to run over and hurt someone one of these games.  The dude isn't the biggest receiver at Texas, but he is by far the most physical.  He will be a huge weapon for this team and Colt.

I've got a question on a situation that could happen during the game Sat.  Let's say that Texas jumps out to a quick 14 point first quarter lead, do you as Coach Brown put Gilbert in with the ones to start getting his playing experience for a drive or two?  Or do you keep Colt in to get his stats for his Heisman race and just turn over the game to Gilbert and the second teamers in the second half?  Let me know what everything thinks.

    As I've been reading the preseason mags and websites, I've noticed that a lot of places have Stoops ahead of Brown as coaches.  I know that Coach Brown has gone 3-1 vs. Stoops the last four years, but I think the 5 year losing streak in the early '00s still works in Stoops's favor.  I know the conference champsionships OU has won vs. UT has won also plays a part as well.  But with the team that Coach Brown has this year, what will it take for Brown to overcome the '00s debacle and thus finally pull ahead of Stoops? 

a.  beat OU on field.

b.  win Big 12 South

c.  win Big 12 title game

d.  play in the national championship game

e.  win the national championship

f.  This can't be done in just one year.

In my humble opinion, it will take another national championship ring for Coach Brown to vault ahead of Stoops.  Nothing less I think will work.  Does anybody have any other ideas of what it might take?

I read this and had to share it with everyone here:

"Colt is living in The Matrix.  He should just start wearing all black and talk in barely audible whispers.  If you can't beat Tebow's Christian bonhomie, just go to the Dark Side.  Have a beer.  And a threesome.  On the same night!  Right before the Tech game.  Wearing a zorro mask!

I laughed so hard I cried when I read this paragraph.  Enjoy the good!
