Madness

Well, no sooner had the fireworks died down from the thumping OU put on Texas Tech in Norman did the heated debates start.  Texas and OU are bitter rivals and it's just going to get worse from here.

I'm not going to discuss it in this post; I'm just going to take a step back and simply be amused by how ridiculous all this is.

I love college football.  I love the talking and the debates.  I think the BCS is a major upgrade than what we had in the past.  However, this goes to show once again that we need to fix things.  It is the height of absurdity that we're even having these discussions in the first place.

Don't get me wrong; it can be great fun.  But it is nonetheless absurd.  I remember both OU and Texas fans, after the Cotton Bowl, were congratulating each other for a great game (well, the smart classy ones were), and many shared the thought that we witnessed a great battle between the true #1 and #2 teams in the country that morning in Dallas.  There are probably still many OU and Texas fans who think the Sooners and Horns are the best two teams in the country (though I do think Florida is very, very good).  Yet for now, we are trying to talk each other down so we can get that extra hundredths of a point in the BCS to leapfrog the other to play... the Big 12 North champ.  I think I speak for everyone when I say:  WTF?!

Maybe we need a playoff.  Maybe we need the "flex" system.  Something needs to be done so this isn't so irrational.

All that being said, it ain't changing, so... I guess we might as well have fun with it.  I'll be joining everyone in the coming weeks fighting and scraping and yelling for those fractions of a point.  Bring it on.
