The Daily Texan Roasts OU

The annual editorial war between the Texan and the Oklahoma Daily came out today and not surprisingly Texas won. OU's response is anemic at best, but I had to FanShot this because the Texan's letter was undoubtedly the best I've seen them do in this series.

Colorado Leans on Stewart, Not Scott at RB

Darrell Scott was awesome against West Virginia. 4 carries for 5 yards.

Baylor Star QB Robert Griffin Out for Season

Griffin tore his right ACL during the first half of Baylor's 68-13 win against Northwestern State. Make no mistake about it, Baylor is cursed.

HB adds- Bumped to front page because of PB's man-crush on Mr. Griffin. I hope that he comes back at full strength next year. You never know with ACL injuries.

ESPN's Anti-OU Smear Campaign Uncovered

Don't know how I stumbled upon this, but it's worth a chuckle to see how one delusional OU blogger caught 4 examples of ESPN burning the Sooners for not giving more attention to Landry Jones historic performance against a Conference USA runner-up.

Check out this fan at the Clemson- Georgia Tech game. Clemson came back from 24 down but still lost by a field goal. This kid took it very, very badly. Chris Fowler, Jesse Palmer, and Craig James provide hilarious commentary (some of which was aired on ESPN).

CNNSI's Andy Staples believes Sergio's hit on Taylor Potts was textbook and clean, albeit "especially hellacious."

Leach on Kindle's Hit: "Really obvious helmet-to-helmet"

I prefer Muschamp's Take:

"I liken it to holding. If they call it, it's holding. If they don't call it, it's not. They didn't call it." So there was nothing wrong with Kindle's hit? "Nothing. Great hit," Muschamp said.

Mandel: UT had Struggles but Beating Tech is Still Noteworthy

Mandel: UT had Struggles but Beating Tech is Still Noteworthy

I commented something very similar to this at the DTN Game thread. Yes, Tech was not ranked. But, you're crazy if you don't think they will be at the end of the season. We beat a team a lot better than Tennessee today. Also, we learned that UT can win against a quality opponent even when Colt has an off night.
