• OU Gotta Be Kidding: Oklahama to Face BYU at Jerryworld in '09?

  That's what The Oklahoman is speculating this afternoon: OU and Brigham Young will kick off the 2009 college football season at Jerryworld in Arlington. And Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops didn't do much to stifle the speculation when asked for a comment today. Said Stoops, "Has that been released? All I can say is that I know they were working on it. I'm sure it would be exciting for our fans to go down and be in that great stadium." You know who I don't think will play in the new Cowboys stadiu

• Don't Mess With Texas. Oh Crap, Too Late.

     I don't love Texas. I don't hate Oklahoma. But what transpired yesterday in the Big 12 is absolute bullshit.   I know life ain't fair, but college football should be. Or at least it should use common sense trying.   Let me apologize to Texas. I posted some of the best assets of Texas Tech and Oklahoma, but am just now getting around to the Longhorn lovelies. Obviously, I'm the reason UT is getting royally screwed, right?   Okay then, you tell me. How is

• Texas Fight: After "Freakiness" in Dallas, Recruit Chose OU Over UT

  Lufkin High School's Jamarkus McFarland, a highly coveted defensive tackle, committed to the University of Oklahoma yesterday; Merry Christmas, Sooner Nation. And it's a double kick to the Longhorns' pants: The University of Texas had hoped to land the 6-foot-3, 280-pounder, but instead a post-Texas-OU party in Dallas helped McFarland decide to move to Norman instead of Austin. He even wrote a paper for his English class about the shindig, which The New York Times excerpts in its behind-the-scen

• The Top 10 Best Current Rivalries in Sports

  Tonight's the next chapter in one of sports' best rivalries. That's right, I said best.To be a true sports rivalry - more than just a plethora of games between teams in close proximity (see Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals) - the meetings between opponents must: *Take place at an advanced level, with championships on the line. *Feature sustained excellence by both teams over a period of time. *Include some form of contentiousness, be it physical alternations or trash-talking

  Bad, but nowhere near the worst.Dear LeBron James, Just ask, and I'm sure Dancing With The Stars will have you on their ridiculously cheesy show next season. I'm sure millions of potato-chip snackin' housewives would be fixated on your every silly, pre-fabricated step. But as a basketball fan, I demand you immediately cease and desist with your bullshit pre-game choreography. It's stupid. It's illogical. It's degrading. It's unbecoming of a player who has the talent - but not th

  Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Dallas Police Chief David Kunkel can apologize all he wants for the indefensible actions of Robert Powell, but unless the officer is fired it will be a complete and utter injustice. Powell, who detained, lectured and threatened NFL running back Ryan Moats despite the player's mother-in-law dying as he spoke, in no way should make a living that requires/allows him to use a gun. Kudos to Moats - wh

The bad part? There were only 50 or so people there to party with him.And, whether it was the lack of a crowd or his constant drinking throughout the show, it seemed like Har Mar was slightly bored on stage, just going through the motions. Basically: It looked like he was re
