They paid their assistants the bonuses that were tied to reaching the Big 12 title game. Doing that is understandable, and a solid gesture for the staff, with the 3-way tiebreaker that was used to give it to Oklahoma.

But claiming a Conference title with an asterisk is a stretch.

They did. Mack Brown shows a little dignity in not stooping to asterisk levels. In addition, it was a really classy move by the university to pay the assistants the bonuses - essentially they only lost those (per the contract stipulations) by a coin flip.

Reportedly it was supposed to be on the wall for Big 12 South Championships (Which they could make a legimate claim to)

Personally I think it's just a motivational ploy for the team, much like Tressel's 4114 passcode to the WHAC.

But the '99 and '01 South Titles aren't listed there. They lost the CCG those years, so they didn't get Big 12 titles.

Thats what I'm saying... reportedly it was supposed to be on a wall for divisional titles but it "somehow" got onto the wall for conference championships.

You'd have to be pretty delusional though (Read: scUM fan) to believe that.

Here's a look at each team's schedule - South gets looked at before the North.

Folks will want to give Texas the benefit of the doubt when it comes to getting into the BCS Title game this year, but a very weak non-conference schedule (La-Monroe, at Wyoming, UTEP, UCF) will make that harder to justify.

While Oklahoma and Texas will likely start the season ranked in the top five (possibly even the top three), it'll be Zac Robinson's Oklahoma State that could be the star of the Big 12? Why? Check out the schedule. Check out the analysis and breakdown for each Big 12 South team's slate.

KU frosh hospitalized after accident


KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Ben Lueken, a freshman football player at Kansas, is hospitalized with injuries sustained in a traffic incident earlier this week.

A spokesman at the University of Kansas Medical Center told said Wednesday that Lueken was in good condition and his injuries were not considered life-threatening. No details were available on the accident Sunday outside Jayhawker Towers, an on-campus apartment complex.

Lueken, of St. Louis, appeared in nine games last season and is expected to challenge for a starting spot on the offensive line next year. Hospital spokesman Dennis Minich said Lueken's father was with the athlete.

Texas plays AT Wyoming? How the heck did they get locked into that one? As long as you're scheduling a doormat, you might as well make it a home game and bank the ticket sales. Wyoming's stadium fits 33,000 people.

Arkansas cancelled the second game of their home and home with us to play a game with aggy. So we get stuck in Laramie. Though I think it will be interesting to see what it's like to watch a big time program like Texas play a real game on a playground.
