The Bob And Skippy Show

For many years, the Pac 10 has enjoyed (suffered, really) a reputation as a pass-happy, non-physical, all-finesse football conference. For those of us who are fans of the Big 12, it's very much a different style of football, and even though Oklahoma and Texas Tech run finesse passing attacks, they still are extremely physical football teams all told. That's why I laughed out loud at this article on ESPN's website today. Turns out UCLA coach Bob Toledo is whining because Washington coach Rick (Skippy) Neuheisel is whining because someone whined to somebody's recruit that the other coaches are whiny. Or something like that. Pretty soon, I think Toledo and Neuheisel might really get mad. And say something mean about the other's mother. 'Cos that'll show 'em who's the real man!

Get real, guys!

As much as I dislike Mack Brown, at least he doesn't engage in such whining. Nor does Bob Stoops. Or R.C. Slocum. Or anyone else I can think of in the Big 12. Thank goodness.
