jones Top Ten 2011 Season in Review
Welcome to the first annual Jones Top Ten season in review. What follows replaces the annual bowl preview, largely because the bowl season sucks. Outside of a handful of games, any given Saturday during the conference season is more compelling than the almost endless exhibition of 7-5 versus 6-6...
Big 12 Games Preview – 11/19/11
Time for the weekly look at the upcoming Big 12 games based on ratings and adjusted stats to date. As always, keep in mind that personnel matchups, coaching decisions, injuries, etc. will not play into the numerical predictions and are all important information that will still need to be...
jones Top Ten - Week Five - 2011
Robert Fulghum did his best to convince us that everything we needed to know we learned in kindergarten. We are supposed to share and take our turn and be kind and, perhaps most importantly, not to take joy in the misfortune of others. College football fans tend to suspend this last one on fall...
BCS Week 4 -- Kicking Off a New Season
Bad economy got you sad? Market meltdown freaking you out? Rumors of rogue traders at European banks rattling your confidence? Starting to see a few more foreclosures and short sales pop up on your block? Wait a minute, let me think about this some more. Oklahoma is number 1 early, Florida is...
Realignmentality
Take the title of this post however you want. The reality of realignment, the mentality of it, a ridiculous portmanteau intended to give me somewhere to start this post, whatever. The point is that I have gotten tired of reading all of the ridiculous takes on this realignment saga available from...

Texas vs. the Big 12, Pt. II
We're back from the Dallas Zoo where the mountain lion hides in the shade and the tattooed handler feeds mice to the bearded lizards before your eyes! In part I, we examined the lesser squads of the league as well as some of the more troublesome teams. Tim's anointing of the Red Raider defensive...

Scouting Report
Done with basketball yet? I am, although I admit that I do enjoy a nonsensical Fire Rick Barnes rant. Tantō, anyone? Some folks are into masochism (read: still absorbed in hoops). In the event you haven’t had enough, I recommend reading Trips’ wrap-up or a Jayhawk’s take on the state of the...
Aloha, No. 1 seed?
If you have a copy of the first half of Texas's 69-49 win at A&M on January 31, burn that sucker. Save it. Savor it. Review it frequently during the long, hot summer. It's likely the best half of basketball Texas will play this season. They peaked that night. Yeah, I said it. That's the bad news....
