Around the Big 12

Bugeaters fall to Austin City Jail - Jamaal Charles runs for over 200 yards in the fourth quarter to secure the W for the Horns. Nebraska led 19-7 at the start of the fourth. Charles is the primary candidate to be the Big 12 offensive player of the week. This would be the FOURTH WEEK IN A ROW, that the Big 12 Offensive POW played Nebraska. Nebraska travels to Kansas this coming week, so my prediction is Todd Reesing or Brandon McAnderson will be next week's POW. The Bugeaters must go at least 2-1 in their remaining three games at Kansas, hosting K State and at Colorado.

CU Later defeats Dust Pirates - Harrell throws 4 picks for second straight week. CU CB Terrence Wheatley accounts for three of the picks. The bright spot for the Red Raiders continues to be freshman Michael Crabtree, who continues his attack on Big 12 receiving records.

Shamanginos defeat Cash Machine U - my daughter who doesn't read this blog, walks into the room and says, "why do they have ATM on their helmet?". Kansas D was impressive in win against Coach Fran. I've never seen so many Aggies torn between losses indicating coach departure, and rooting for the W for the alma mater. If I weren't a Sooner fan, I'd be rooting for the Aggies to run the table, and for the Sooners to defeat the Cowboys. That would give the Cash Machines their first Big 12 south title in 10 years, and then we could see if they still wanted to fire their coach.

Willie and Friends Lambast Baylor - Baylor plays three QBs again. JD Weed plays, but does not fire up the passing arm. Josh Freeman has a big night against the Bears.

Mizzou beats Baylor North - Cyclones outgain Mizzou and control time of possession 38 minutes to 22. However, Tigers outscore Cyclones 42-28 in the final 60 minutes of the game.
