More Thoughs on the BCS
Here’s a thought for the whole BCS mess. Texas and Oklahoma will never play nice in the same sandbox. If the powers that be will not work out a system to decide a national championship, I will. Ever since the Big 8 invited the Texas schools to join the conference, the OU vs. TX game was no longer just about bragging rights, and recruiting; it was a conference game that would lead to the league championship.
It’s time for Texas to walk. Texas needs to leave the Big 12 for the PAC 10. I would recommend Texas use its clout to bring along UTEP out of Conf USA as well. BOOM! The PAC 10 now has roots in Texas! USC and Texas are now in a 12 team league with a championship game. The recruiting advantage would be great for Texas…”Son you can stay in state for school and we’ll travel to cities like Las Vegas and Los Angeles…Not Stillwater OK or Lincoln NE. You’ll also be playing in a bigger media market!” Additionally you can no longer discount the PAC 10 champ because they didn’t play in a conference championship game.
The annual OU vs. TX game will now be a non conference game and will add to both schools strength of schedule.
What happens to the big 12 you ask? Well, Arkansas needs to get out of the SEC and come home. The Cotton Bowl will now be home to the OU vs. TX game and we’ll move the Arkansas vs. A&M game to Dallas as well. The SEC can cherry pick any team it wants from the ACC or the Big East.

Thoughts from a Sooner....Bob Stoops does not "run up the score" because he has no class.
This whole argument that Stoops runs up the score is ridiculous. There have been so many fourth quarters this year where Joey Hazle, the backup quarterback as well as second and third string players got put in to play the game. A coach cannot tell a second or third string player to “ease up” especially when that may be the only time he is on the field in front of his friends and family. Also, Stoops did not design the system. The simple fact that Texas beat OU and yet now OU is playing for the national championship, should tell any UT person who made it even through one semester of school that “style points” are just part of the game/system and that class has nothing to do with it. Mack Brown, should figure out that if you want to be a “nice guy” you should not be a college coach and that a game where you try to knock the snot out of the guy in front of you does not involve allot of "class."
Many UT fans get confused between the
This is the first season, UT did not choke the rest of the season after losing one game. Good for

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WW II US RANKED 4TH
After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.
"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."
Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories--Japan and Germany. The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."
German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said "Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."
The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented " France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."
Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.

Author David Sedaris, on undecided voters
funny either way you are going in this election!
“I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

This essay was sent to me.
Have you ever looked at a map of the world? Look at Texas with me
just for a second. That picture, with the Panhandle and the Gulf
Coast , and the Red River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of
you as anything ever will be. As soon as anyone anywhere in the
world looks at it they know what it is. It's Texas . Pick any kid
off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas in the dirt
and he'll know what it is. What happens if I show you a picture of
any other state? You might get it maybe after a second or two, but
who else would? And even if you do, does it ever stir any feelings
in you?
In every man, woman and child on this planet, there is a person who wishes
just once he could be a real live Texan and get up on a horse or ride off
in a pickup. There is a little bit of Texas in everyone.
Did you ever hear anyone in a bar go, 'Wow...so you're from Iowa ? Cool,
tell me about it?' Do you know why? Because no one gives a crap about Iowa
.'
Texas is the Alamo . Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing
thousands of Mexican nationals, fighting for freedom, who had the chance
to walk out and save themselves, but stayed instead to fight and die for
the cause of freedom.
We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and James Bowie and
Crockett, and do you know why? Because those men saw a line in the sand
and they decided to cross it and be heroes.
John Wayne paid to do the movie himself. That is the Spirit of Texas .
Texas is Sam Houston capturing Santa Anna at San Jacinto .
Texas is huge forests of Piney Woods like the Davy Crockett National Forest .
Texas is breathtaking mountains in the Big Bend
Texas is the unparalleled beauty of bluebonnet fields in the Texas Hill
Country.
Texas is the beautiful, warm beaches of the Gulf Coast of South Texas .
Texas is the shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas.
Texas is world record bass from places like Lake Fork .
Texas is Mexican food like nowhere else, not even Mexico .
Texas is the Fort Worth Stockyards, Bass Hall, the Ballpark in Arlington
and the Astrodome. (guess now the Reliant Stadium too)
Texas is larger-than-life legends like Michael DeBakey, Denton Cooley,
Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Gene Autry, Audie Murphy, Tommy Lee Jones,
Waylon Jennings, Janis Joplin, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Landry, Darrell
Royal, ZZ Top, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Nolan Ryan, Sam Rayburn,
Howard Hughes, George H. Bush, Lyndon B. Johnson, and George W. Bush. and
let's not forget GEORGE STRAIT
PANTERA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Texas is great companies like Dell Computer, Texas Instruments and Compaq,
Bell Heilocopter And LOCKHEED MARTIN AEROSPACE, Home of the F-16 Jet
Fighter and the JSF Fighter.
Texas is NASA.
Texas is huge herds of cattle and miles of crops.
Texas is home to the most amazing sunsets of gold over an empty field.
Texans have pride like no others.
Texas is hundreds of deer running around neighborhoods and fields.
Texas is skies blackened with doves, and fields full of geese.
Texas is a place where towns and cities shut down to watch the local high
school football game on Friday nights and for the Cowboys on Monday Night
Football, and for the Night In Old San Antonio River Parade in San
Antonio.
To drive across Texas is to drive 1/4 the way across the United States .
Texas is ocean beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and prairies,
and modern cities.
If it isn't in Texas , you probably don't need it.
Everything's bigger in Texas !
No one does anything bigger or better than it's done in Texas .
By federal law, Texas is the only state in the U.S. that can fly its flag
at the same height as the U.S. flag. Think about that for a second. You
fly the Stars and Stripes at 20 feet in Maryland , California , or Maine ,
and your state flag, whatever it is, goes at 17 feet. You fly the Stars
and Stripes in front of Klein Oak High or anyplace else at 20 feet, the
Lone Star flies at the same height - 20 feet. Do you know why? Because it
is the only state that was a Republic before it became a state.
Also, being a Texan is as high as being an American down here. Our capitol
is the only one in the country that is taller than the capitol building in
Washington , D.C. and we can divide our state into five states at any time
if we wanted to! We included these things as part of the deal when we came
on. That's the best part, right there.
Texas even has its own power grid!! ... Did I mention Live music capitol
of the world?
If you are a REAL TEXAN, you won't even need to be told to pass this on.
