While I'm here, I've got to send a MAJOR shoutout to my alma mater, Coppell High School, who upset Southlake Carroll in double overtime last night, snapping Southlake's 38-game district winning streak since moving to Class 5A in 2002. Many, many touchdown handshakes to my hometown Cowboys.

I should clarify...
Coppell is the only team called the Cowboys I want upsetting a team led by a quarterback from Southlake this weekend.

Todd McShay did well there...
…he’s still a tool, but yeah…“Have a great front 4” is pretty much the blueprint. Not that any of us have said that a million times by now or anything…

Chase is wearing the No. 25 tonight
Wow. I had figured they were slotting him for it on senior day.
http://www.RockMNation.com
Chance McDanielson for Heisman
That is awesome. I was wondering if they’d have him do it…though that does make me wonder who’s doing it on Senior Day…

Van Alexander?
Do they go back to the linebackers?
Or does Willy Mo get the nod?
http://www.RockMNation.com
Chance McDanielson for Heisman
His best friend on the team, I believe, was Jerrill Humphrey (they were roommates, at least), so that doesn’t apply…so yeah, maybe they go back to the LBs. Or not. Maybe Van…maybe Willy Mo…maybe Hood or Chavis…Colin Brown? Jimmy Jackson? I guess I’d probably go with Moore, if I had to bet…

i would guess tommy saunders maybe
i don’t think OL’s can wear that # so brown or madison? would be out
can't believe I forgot Saunders...
…he’s as close to being the heart of the team as you can get—I would love this pick.

Why would you ever give Lee Corso a gun?
Under any circumstances?

i had a dream last night
that i somehow missed watching the game today and had to get the score on my phone. when i finally found it, we won 63-6. hope it works out like that!
It'll be tough to beat...
…unless you can combine a dream about us winning by 50+ with one about bagging Megan Fox.

Here's the question.
OU gets a touchdown, UT gets a field goal on the first possessions.
Is OU’s offense at the point where it can be shared with Mizzou’s, in the sense that settling for FGs = death by a thousand cuts?
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
WOW
Broyles with a ridiculous ricochet TD catch.

Jordan Shipley to the house in a kickoff return
Good weekend for the Shipley family. Jordan has a KO return for TD the morning after his father coaches Coppell to the upset of Southlake.
And, yes, I’m going to continue bringing that up.

rpt- re: the number question above
this is from the ncaa rulebook
it says ‘strongly recommended’- does that mean you get a stern look from the ref if you violate the rule?
i guess there are no recommendations for defensive players
SECTION 4. Players and Playing Equipment
Recommended Numbering
ARTICLE 1. It is strongly recommended that offensive players be numbered
according to the following diagram that shows one of many offensive
formations (Rule 1-4-2-b):
End 80-99
Tackle 70-79
Guard 60-69
Snapper 50-59
Quarterback/Backs 1-49
Gotcha
I wasn’t sure if the lack of number regulation was only extended to backs/receivers. I guess that explains why we don’t see any centers wearing 13.

Sam Bradford, you are the suck.
Although I’m wholly unimpressed by Texas right now.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
I am not sure...
…if this is a good sign or a bad sign for Mizzou tonight.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
Flutie...
…has been one of the major victims in the move to HD. He was never a good-looking man, but…yeah, dude suddenly looks about 64…

Anyone notice that Illinois has only put up six points on Minnesota?
http://www.RockMNation.com
Chance McDanielson for Heisman
Yeah
I was pretty surprised by that. I also retract my previous statement about Texas’s running game.
Is it just me...
…or are you guys pretty unimpressed with both OU and UT, too?
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
I
concur. Pretty sloppy play by both teams. Also, that ref was at the nebraska game and I think he could snap my neck with one hand…..
I was about to say...
…I realize Texas is beating OU, and I therefore should be scared of them, but all I can think of watching this is a) there are holes in both of these defenses, b) we might get into a shootout with them, and c) I like our chances against some NFL teams if things become a shootout.

WHOA
QUAN COSBY CLEANS HOUSE ON THE BIG SHIPLEY CATCH.
That was one of the most vicious wide receiver blocks I’ve ever seen.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
was pretty sure he scored on that play...
…but I guess it didn’t matter.
Rock M Nation

I've also
noticed a lot of hostility between the two teams. That might be upping the “sloppy” factor. And yes, that’s what she said.
When I saw they were making that game...
…I laughed and laughed. My wife wants to get Dance Dance Revolution 2, so if she wins that battle, I’m insisting on getting Beer Pong as well.

Texas goes up 10 with 4:02 to play.
This is TREMENDOUS development for Mizzou.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
If Texas and Mizzou both win
That probably means it’ll be the 8pm ET ABC game next Saturday. I guess that means I’m pulling for Texas….
And potentially No.1 vs. No. 2.
If Mizzou wins.
If Texas wins.
If LSU loses.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
nice...
…another Game of the Century of the Week possibility for Mizzou…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
well...
…it was 16-14 early in the fourth…I figured they’d stay in it a while, but they just don’t have any playmakers on offense to catch them up.
Rock M Nation

I would argue
that this game enforce what I always said about OU: If you can get in Bradford’s face enough, he’ll start making mistakes. A lot like Chase. But I also think he’s significantly more fragile than our lilliputian leader.
UT's pass rush...
…could get to Daniel if UT can cover everybody for 4-5 seconds. Not totally sure about UT’s secondary, but their rush is good.
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
meanwhile...
…8 minutes in, it’s 0-0 in Tech-Nebraska. Figured it would be 21-0 by now.

Texas takes over, up 10, 2:31 to play.
This one’s over.
Not to put the cart before the horse, but you know that road to the NC Game? Traffic just cleared up.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
seriously?
Minnesota just beat Illinois? WTF is up with the Big Ten???

Ughhhh.....
I just became 18234000 times more nervous for next week. That atmosphere is going to be ELECTRIC.
