College football is back and so am I. That means there is at least one good thing in there to be found.

All kidding aside, Not liking these cupcake games early. They aren’t good for anyone (This looked like a one-sided Little League game….I am surprised someones mother didn’t appear and yell at a coach) .

OU put up big points in the first 4 games last year, then we fell asleep in two games in the regular season. Seems to happen each year, this pattern. I believe these easy games contribute. The players are not truly tested (starters exit at some point and don’t play enough under adverse enough conditions), they get a false sense of who they are as players and as a team and then it happens, someone plays them tough and they get that deer-in-the-headlights look. You will know it when you see it and say there, Jeff In VT is right! Then OU will be a casualty to the next Colorado or in this years case, watch out the week before Texas and the 4 weeks after. It is going to happen in there if it does. I believe we can run the table and get to the final. Then all bets are off……I would love to play that plodding big 11, scarlet and grey/gray team who pads their schedule with the likes of Kent State, Ohio, and Youngstown State, along with Our Lady of the Lake Nursing home for women.

I say, strengthen the schedule a bit more early on so that the players get tested a bit more.

Berry, please don’t get too excited about the NBA……yeah, its professional sports….but it is the NBA.

Hats off to those teams (Ala- Clemson, UCLA-Tenn etc) that went for it early on. Yeah, someone is out….but are they really, in this system, these days? Lose early, I am always told, and you have a better chance then if you lose late.

Well, I have to go. I vow to be back each week as I love what all of you folks write. Berry, you most of all!

Go Sooners!

TWO POLLS, FEWER BOWLS! Has a great ring to it…

BYU will play anyone, anytime, home and home, with the exception of Notre Dame’s 2 for 1 deals.

Oklahoma-BYU home and home, let’s do it , right now.

Nebraska won’t come to Provo, ever, in a home and home. The invitation has been out to them for 30 years.

Even though BYU can and will match any payout Nebraska offers. If you won’t give a home and home to quality programs like BYU, Utah, etc. then you are stuck with D-2 schools and even they are getting smart and demanding huge payouts to be somebody’s whipping boy.

Miami, Penn State, Texas, Texas A& M, etc. have all come to Provo, and left defeated. Nobody want’s to risk it anymore, thank you BCS for completely screwing up college football.

Great intersectional games will be fewer and fewer because nobody wants to risk defeat, nothing but a bunch of pansies, all of them.

Bring back the old system, 2 polls, fewer bowls, and arguments as to who is really number 1. It was more pure than it is now. And not in violation of anti-trust laws.

And more enjoyable!
