Random College Football Thoughts (Sports Intensive)

• UT fans and I share a common bond this morning: We are truly suffering from Beat Down Syndrome.
• For those unaware, it was OU 63 UT 21 and TCU 49 and Baylor 21.
• It's like mutual Blackjack, only different. 
• OU/Texas thoughts first . . . 
• The 95 yard run by Damien Williams was absurd. How does that happen. I took this picture off the television invention before he put on the after-burners. But how did he get out of that?
• You have to see OU's Trey Milliard hurdle a Longhorn while simultaneously knocking another Texas player to the ground. That was demoralizing. 
• I've always believed a National Championship will buy a coach five years regardless of what happens. Mack Brown earned some more credit by getting back to the National Championship game but losing against Alabama. Some UT folks are rumbling about him retiring, but I bet he can stay there another five years regardless of what happens to the program. I like the guy.
• I also like it when UT is really good. (Did I just say that?)
• The television coverage implied that UT fans were leaving the Cotton Bowl at halftime. I don't thing that's true. They may have bailed in the 4th but that half of the stadium looked pretty full in the 3rd.
• Now Baylor and TCU . . . 
• What a beat down of epic proportions. Baylor scores on the second play of the game and it was all downhill from there.
• Baylor turned the ball over six times which means there is no way you can win. But I believe Baylor would have lost with no turnovers. 
• The new TCU quarterback looked fantastic. Really fantastic. TCU might want to think about implementing the spread offense. Put him in the option read and they are scary.
• The TCU defense is already scary. I forgot the name of their freshman defensive lineman, but that guy is a beast. 
• Other thoughts . . .
• Texas Tech just kills West Virginia? I laughed earlier in the week about WVU only being a four point favorite. How does Vegas know what they know?
• How the Big 12 perceptions changed in just one weekend. OU, KSU, Texas Tech, and TCU are the major players. Baylor, UT, and WVU are average at best.
• Baylor plays Texas this weekend. I've not looked at the line, but I'll guess Texas by 7.5.
• They will win by more than that.
• I've never seen a game in Lubbock but I need to. I'm beginning to agree with everyone who says, "That's just a weird place to go into."
• The most important Big 12 game may have already been played: Kansas State over OU.
