A TEXAS-CENTRIC THIS WEEK IN SCHADENFREUDE. So much Longhorn anger, including yet another attractive female's anger being caught on camera. Even in defeat, those Longhorns come out better than Texas Tech (dancing ginger), Baylor (dancing nerd), and A&M (yell leaders - no link necessary to explain this one). Personally, I enjoy this Shaggy Bevo thread about how long Longhorn fans have been suffering.

MAC WINS! Dan McCarney's North Texas squad pulled off an upset win on the strength of a 78(!) yard TD pass. Yeah, I don't believe it either.

PAT FORDE IS GANKING CYENTIST'S IDEAS. A very politically driven Forde-Yard Dash.

SOLID #2. The Big 12 falls further behind the SEC in conference power rankings this week.
