The Sad Chron

I can't figure out if Neil Hohfeld's article in the Chron is a wrapup of the Big 12, a wrapup of Texas college football, both, or neither.

The headline is In subpar week for Big 12, UT, Tech stand tall

In the article, Hofeld writes about Texas's impressive victory. I think that's an exaggeration, but it was definitely better than their game against North Texas. And Hohfeld writes about Texas Tech's victory, which was certainly solid, but not (in my opinion) as exciting as he makes it out to be.

Hohfeld talks about the Big 12 losers this week (Nebraska, Colorado, Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Missouri), and neglects to mention the other winners, two of which are a couple of Big 12 powers (OU, KSU) that could easily derail Mack Brown (again). He also mentions Texas A&M was off this week.

So if this is a Big 12 wrap, why not cover all the action (and omit the discussion of Rice at the end)? If it's only a Texas college football wrap, why cover the non-Texas losers in the Big 12? And why no mention of TCU or SMU?

Hell, if Hohfeld is anything like Fran Blinebury, he may not know that Rice isn't a member of the Big 12!
