Big 12 Cob of the Week

With Corn Blight is pursuit of four legged animals, I'm posting this week's cobs.

Josh Freeman
It's bad enough to only complete 7 of 18 passes for 114 yards...but to lose 49 yards on four sacks as well? NFL? Not F'in Likely.

Bill Byrne
Yes, Baylor is improved. But for your football program to trail Baylor 41-7 at the end of the third quarter? Between Fran and Sherman, it's starting to look like you're better at building buildings than programs.

Dan Hawkins
....whom I think is a good coach, but it's his third year, and Colorado is showing improvement? Where is it? He's in danger of being heated up, and it isn't helping matters that his son is mixed up in all of this. If this isn't a reason for the coaches kid to go somewhere else besides where daddy is coaching what is?

Elusive Deer
Come out, come out, wherever you are! Corn Blight has seen fewer deer this fall than defensive stops by the Blackshirts last fall.

I nominate the CU fans for always being classy. A laser pointer, a laser pointer, it’s Division I football! It’s the Big 12! It ain’t intramurals. Go play intramurals, brother … go play intramurals.

Wow...I knew I forgot something...

I remember seeing that and saying to myself to remember that for a cob as well. Shame on me for forgetting.

Dr. Saturday...

…had the whole Zac Robinson/Laser incident.

ESPN has it at the start of the OSU/Puffalo highlights. ESPN’s Tim Griffin wasn’t amused either.

Is it a real testiment to the true Buff fan?

I like to look for the good in everybody. But, Colorado fans haven’t helped themselves out over the years. I have heard of incidents where if you have a Nebraska license plate at CU during the game it gets keyed, the whole student section getting ejected, and this last incident. It just doesn’t make Colorado University or their football team look good.

i think..

Dan Hawkins should be given a break due to the numerous injuries they’ve encountered. And that laser thing is just in bad taste. Thanks for filling me in on that.
