Fiesta Bowl: West Virginia 48, Oklahoma 28 (final)

Talk about a guy getting what he deserves. Jeez. West Virginia is officially a smarter school than Nebraska was when they hired Bill Callahan instead of Bo Pelini.

FWIW, I listened to CC for a short bit on ESPN radio this morning. I couldn't believe my ears. He said that he was going to "tazer" anyone who bashed the Buckeyes today (1/3/08), because last year's game was "just one bad game". He then went on to lambast Stoops and Choke-lahoma (his words). I was surprised.
Every once in a while, the real, logical Colin enters college football discussion. Logical Colin is almost always present in MLB and NFL topics. I love listening to him talk about those two leagues. Especially the NFL draft. But, he is generally illogical in regards to NCAA football.

Of course, maybe I am a bit biased, because he sticks up for Ben Roethlisberger and bashed on the Pirates for announcing their new manager the day after the Colts - Patriots game, which was the day of the Steelers - Ravens Monday Night Football Homecoming Game at Heinz Field. I believe he uttered the words "Where is the story going to show up? Page 6, Local News?"

But yeah, anyway, the Big 12 really is quite overrated.

-They are 5-8 in BCS Bowl games.
-Since the BCS era began, they are 5-5 in the Cotton Bowl (Generally a mismatch for an SEC team, as it is Big 12 #2 against SEC #4)
-They are 6-4 in the Holiday Bowl in the BCS era, which is a mismatch against them. Luckily, the Pac-10 is a one-deep conference.
-In the Alamo Bowl, they are 4-6 against our Big 10 in the BCS era. This includes but is not limited to these mismatches:
1998: #4 Kansas State loses to unranked Purdue 37-34.
2002: #14 Colorado loses to unranked Wisconsin 31-28.
2006: #18 Texas barely beats 6-6 Iowa 26-24.
-In the BCS era, they are 5-5 in the Insight Bowl.
-In the BCS era, they are 3-7 in the Independence Bowl. One of their wins was against Miami (OH).

It is about time the media bashes on the Big 12, specifically Oklahoma. They are the true culprit.

I took it more to be sarcasm because he got a call earlier that basically asked the same question, why does Stoops always get a pass.
