Since my ideal outcome of the power going out at Cowboys Stadium, leaving the Big 12 Championship without a winner, did not happen, I am fine with Nebraska losing the final Big 12 Championship. Even to OU. It seems fitting that the Huskers should lose the last Big 12 Championship to bookend losing the first Big 12 Championship game. It was a fitting reminder that he strength of this conference has been in the South throughout its existence.
Bob Stoops captured his 7th Big trophy last night, which brings me personal pain as a Horn fan. But, at least Pelini didn't win a championship, something his antics this year did not deserve. Have fun in the Insight.com or Holiday bowl. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
From what I can gather online, it looks like Texas may have some big staff changes to announce in the next few days. Thanks to all the coaches who have led Texas to some impressive seasons in recent years, but I'm looking forward to some new blood in a few positions. Rumors have been flying about potential departures or reassignments for Greg Davis OC, Bobby Kennedy WRs, Mac MacWhorter OL, Mike Tolleson DTs/STs, and possibly Jeff Madden S&C. Could be interesting.

Even if Osama Bin Laden was Quarterbacking the Huskers...
This Saturday is the Big 12 Championship game between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Nebraska Cornhuskers. After my Longhorns were knocked out of contention for any post season activity that didn't involve job postings, I really hoped that a team I could get behind would win the Big 12 South this year. I would gladly have listened to the Baylor fans come out of hiding to cheer on RGIII against the Huskers. I'd have routed for that 43 year man in Stillwater. Their offense was so potent this year.
I would have pulled for almost any team to send Nebraska out of the Big 12 on it's ass. Bo Pelini has shown his true colors this year with his tirade during the A&M game. Its hard to believe that Nebraska has succumbed to having a man like him as their coach after having the great Tom Osborne for so long. I want them to leave the conference knowing that they just weren't ever good enough to be "The" team in the Big 12. But alas, the Sooners took it to the Okie State Cowboys last weekend and claimed the right to play against Nebraska. As a fan, I am torn and crushed.
I don't want OU to win the Big 12. I don't want Nebraska to win the Big 12. Logic says that I should want Nebraska to win b/c OU winning another title just makes the Texas coaches recruiting challenges that much more difficult. But I can't stand the ".01" t-shirts and all the crap the Huskers have dished out against Texas in the last year. I was reminded this week about Bob Stoops' response to a reporter's question last year about who he would be routing for in the National Championship game, "I'm sure not routing for Texas." Ass. Someone on The Zone, a local Austin radio station, said, "If Satan fielded a team, quarterbacked by Hitler, I would still rout for them to beat Oklahoma." That's pretty much where I've settled. I don't want NU to really beat OU, but just enough to get the win. My best case scenario is that with timing running out in the 4th quarter of a 0-0 game, that Landry Jones of OU would trip over himself in the Sooner endzone and fall out of bounds. The result, a 2-0 victory by safety. That would be nice.
I do think however that OU will win this game because of its experience, its talented QB- Landry Jones, RB- DeMarco Murray, and WR- Ryan Broyles, and its head coach.
Here is to next year!
