Big 12 Wrap: Week 12
Packing is taking precedence over football watching right now, which may not be a bad thing this season. Here's this week's action:
- Texas 51, Kansas 20 The Longhorns are on cruise control to the big BCS game. Too bad the competition in the conference this year probably won't have them ready for the SEC buzzsaw.
- Oklahoma State 31, Colorado 28 Too bad the second best team in the conference can't have another crack at Texas in the title game.
- Nebraska 17, Kansas State 3 They don't resemble Tom Osborne's better teams, but the Huskers ARE the champs of the North, and their defense may even give the Longhorns trouble (for a while).
- Texas Tech 41, Oklahoma 13 Coach Leach had to enjoy this beatdown. It's crisis time in Norman (no matter what the media cheerleaders may say), because this team appears to have quit Coach Stoops. With a bedlam matchup against a better team awaiting, the most expensive coaching staff in college football is set to produce the worst season of the Stoops tenure.
- Missouri 34, Iowa State 24 Mizzou breaks their three-game home losing streak. Sorry, that's all I have.
- Texas A/M 38, Baylor 3 No bowl game for Baylor fan. Maybe next near, Coach Briles!

Big 12 Wrap: Week 11
I actually had a few games on in the background this weekend, amidst cleaning and packing and such. I can't say I found it interesting enough to look up very often, though.
- Texas 47, Baylor 14 Rolling right on to the BCS title game...
- Oklahoma State 24, Texas Tech 17 Not quite the season OSU was hoping for, but they still have a shot at a real nice record.
- Nebraska 31, Kansas 17 Nebraska's in the driver's seat in the North... this week anyway. How about that Big 12 record for Kansas? I didn't see THAT coming.
- Oklahoma 65, Texas A/M 10 This Sooner team is talented enough to beat hell out of below average teams... .and just poorly coached enough on offense and special teams to lose to every above average team they face. A&M still has much work to do.
- Missouri 38, Kansas State 12 Who wants to win the North? Apparently not KSU!
- Iowa State 17, Colorado 10 It's crazy that both these teams have a better Big 12 record than Kansas, because they are BAD (Iowa State's bowl eligibility notwithstanding).

Big 12 Wrap: Week 9
Let's see if I can actually get this thing from editor to blog without losing it this week....
- Texas 41, Oklahoma State 14 It was a Halloween of horrors for Boone Pickens State in general and QB Zac Robinson in particular. It does not appear anyone in the Big 12 will be capable of derailing UT's date for a BCS thrashing courtesy of the SEC.
- Oklahoma 42, Kansas State 30 Can cheerleaders at the Daily Oklahoman and Tulsa World please STOP calling this one of the best OU defenses of all-time now? Mmmkay, thanks.
- Nebraska 20, Baylor 10 Workmanlike win from Nebraska. Baylor's bowl hopes are dimming.
- Missouri 36, Colorado 17 Surely Dan Hawkins won't be back next year.
- Texas Tech 42, Kansas 21 Texas Tech prevails with "only" 350 yards or so of offense. When does that happen?
- Texas A/M 35, Iowa State 10 A&M may yet make a bowl game.

Big 12 Wrap: Week 8
Umm...
So, I remember typing out a real Week 8 wrap on Sunday in my html editor.... and I was fairly certain I posted it.
But I just glanced on the front page today, and no post.... and I don't seem to have saved it from my editor either.
Weird.
Well, we'll try again next Saturday. Maybe. Blar.

Big 12 Wrap: Week 7
Sorry, I kinda forgot to do the wrap this week as life has been busy busy busy.
Here's an abbreviated version: Texas squeaked to a victory despite a fine defensive effort from an otherwise depleted and overmatched Oklahoma team in the Cotton Bowl. And the conference's lesser teams played some games.
I'll eventually get things cranked up here again.... although the next few weeks may prove to be just as busy if the final details of our homebuying work out (fingers crossed).
