Big 12 Cob of the Week

Lordy what a week it was. Nebraska beats hated Colorado in life-sucking fashion. Mizzou chokes. Oklahoma dominates, while Texas gets screwed or depending on your perspective, gets what's coming to them!

Big 12 Cob of the Week Nominations are:


From Husker Mike:

Bo Pelini
I've watched several replays of that fake field goal, and it just keeps looking dumber and dumber.  The tight end who apparently was supposed to be the intended receiver never blocked Colorado's Jimmy Smith, who then could have blown up any play at that point.  Nevermind the play looked exactly like the trick play Nebraska ran three weeks prior.  It turned into an easy touchdown for the Buffaloes which changed the momentum of the game.

Missouri
Tank job.  Choke job.  Slow start.  Whatever you want to call it, you took your eye off the ball in a rivalry game, and Kansas pounced on it.  Then letting Kansas drive the field in the last 2 minutes of the game, including a touchdown on 4th & 7?  You Pinkeled it away, and now have to share your Big XII North trophy.

From Corn Blight:

Cody Hawkins
Cody Hawkins for his impersonation of me attempting to tackle Ndamukong “My name is Suh, how do you do, now you’re gonna die!” Suh. I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching it!

The Texas Fan Base
Their players have come out and taken getting screwed by the Big 12 and BCS like men. Their fan base, not so much. Here’s my problem with Texas. They have everything. They have every advantage that could possibly be given to a NCAA school.

They a limitless number of athletes from which to choose, they have as much money as anyone else in the nation. They used their political clout to slant the rules in their favor when the Big 12 conference was formed.

Well, you Texas guys missed the tie-breaker rule. The conference where you got most of what you wanted just screwed you, and yet you blame them as if you were never in charge. Ever hear of karma? This is what the shit end of the stick feels like!

Trampled

LOVE that video clip! Somebody used the word “trampled” — pure genius.

I just

dont understand why everyone wants to dismiss Texas Tech. Even Tom Shatel got into the act in yesterdays paper (print addition, not sure about online). He thinks we should adopt the SEC tie breaker which says to throw out the lowest BCS rated team and then go head to head. Why is that better then taking the highest ranked BCS team? How do you just throw out one team? The only reason Tech is the lowest rated is due to the timing of their loss. Had they lost when OU did they would be back to the top now just like OU. If OU or Texas had lost in the last two weeks then they would be the ones out. This is the fifth tie breaker rule and it is what it is and it is fine as far as I am concerned.

Dont like it? Dont lose.

let's face it.

Oklahoma beat the living snot out of them. That’s why I dismiss them. I like Tech, like Crabtree, like Leach, but man, did they get destroyed.

So, they’re out of the running.

Go Big Red Nebraska!

The only reason they're last is because they lost late?

What about the fact that they barely won at home and got absolutely crushed on the road in the three-way head to head. If Tech had barely lost, they would be higher, but the fact that they didn’t even put up a fight is what dropped them so far. That and playing two 1-AA schools.

What I am

saying is that they are the lowest ranked of the three do to the fact that they lost last. If they had lost first and Tex would have lost to Tech when Tech lost to OU the Tex would be the lowest ranked of the three. Every team drops when it loses. And it doesnt matter how bad they lost as that is not one of the tie breakers. I think it is funny that Tex got left out since they had to throw their weight around to get the rules in their favor when the league started.

Hell maybe Texas should be thrown out since they lost to the team that got beat the worst. Anyway it doesn’t matter it was a THREE WAY TIE, and that is all that matters. There is no rule about who lost worst or anything like that so just live with it and move on. Isn’t that what you always say Jon? It is what it is and its done so just move on.
