Knee-Jerk Reactions

I'm in shock. I'm almost so numb I can't get upset. The Oklahoma Sooners blew a 24-7 lead and lost to Colorado, 27-24. The Sooners started playing not to lose in the 2nd half, turned the ball over three times, and couldn't find a way to win. The Big 12 is anyone's to win.

Elsewhere, the Fighting Ron Zooks put themselves on the map, as Illinois beat Penn State, 27-20. Illinois has won four in a row after an opening week loss to Missouri.

My, how Notre Dame has fallen. The Irish played in the spare 11:00 AM game on ESPN today against Purdue. Purdue took them to the cleaners in the first half, and led 26-0. The Irish made it interesting in the second half before Purdue scored again to provide the winning margin of 33-19. Notre Dame is 0-5. Purdue is 5-0.

More knee-jerk reactions later on. I'm going to go absorb defeat.

OU AND Texas lose. It would have been a perfect trifecta if the stupid Aggies would have lost to Baylor.

I wonder when the last time was that OU and Texas lost on the same day. It was probably when John Blake was coaching OU and John Mackovic was at Texas.

The Ags just happened to be playing Baylor when the newsletter stuff went public. Otherwise, they probably would have also lost.
