Oklahoma State Post-Mortem/Down the Stretch Temperature Check
I’m not going to get into a microanalysis of this game because I think we all get it at this point. Texas’ formula for winning games against outmatched opponents is smothering defense, manufacturing offense by finding mismatches, and not giving away possessions on the glass. They don’t...

Stupid NCAA Rules Changes, Plus Other Items
-- Boo. Currently, players who are penalized for taunting on their way to the end zone draw a 15-yard penalty on the extra point attempt, 2-point conversion attempt or the ensuing kickoff. Beginning in 2011, live-ball penalties will be assessed from the spot of the foul and eliminate the score....
Tuesday Items
-- Congratulations to Duke. And kudos to Brian Zoubek, of all people, who proved surprisingly valuable down the stretch. Y'know, I thought I'd grown numb to the success of our neighbors, but it's tough having to deal with this championship crap for two consecutive years. -- Oliver Purnell is...
