The Big 12 Was Fun While It Lasted

I was sad when the Southwest Conference disbanded, but the Big 12 was a much needed upgrade. Now that the Big 12 is imploding, I’m just frustrated.

I blame Nebraska and its sour grapes.

Oh, I’m sure I’ll get used to the PAC 16-or whatever it will be called. Who knows(?), it might even be better than the Big 12, but I hope Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma State crush Nebraska this year as a farewell statement. I really wish Texas Tech played Nebraska this year, a 70-24 score would be nice.

And I feel sorry for Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State. A little less so for Iowa State, but only because I barely got to know her. But not at all for Missouri because she’s been playing the harlot all along just begging for someone to ask her to dance.

The Texas schools should thump Colorado, too, this year for jumping the gun to avoid being displaced by Baylor, and because everyone in Texas is going to have to listen to Baylor alums whine for the next 2 years.

Oh well, I’d rather watch a Pac 16 championship game with Texas-USC, Oklahoma-Oregon, or Texas Tech-Cal than suffer through one with any Big 12 North offense.

Ode to Texas

Texas, fight. Texas, fight,
in the title game.
For it is a BCS championship
that you shall claim.
To Colt, Mack, Bevo
and all the rest,
all that is expected
is your very best.
So that when it is all over,
and the stands have cleared,
may it be to Alabama,
the worst they could have feared.
Not because they are unworthy,
or likely cheating again,
but because I’m a selfish fellow,
and I really want UT to WIN!

I Can Smell Football in the Air, Ahhh!

touchdown_jesusFor any of you who aren’t my friends on facebook, I just updated my status as follows:

Peter M Lopez can smell football season in the air, ahhh. I expect Texas to win the national championship, narrowly defeating Notre Dame 35-34 in the championship game, and the Dallas Cowboys to win the Superbowl.”

This would, of course, be my dream scenario…but, for the first time in many, many years, this is not such a laughable possibility.

So, what does this have to do with the Bible? Well, let’s see, having been born and raised Catholic, “Touchdown Jesus” is iconic. The only acceptable defeat for the Irish would be to the Texas Longhorns. “Touchdown Jesus” is also  perhaps the greatest legend in football…

…second only to the hole in the roof of Texas Stadium so God can watch the Cowboys.

So, there you have it.
