And this year's Heisman goes to...

Sam Bradford. Shit, better than Tim freaking Tebow. I can't stand that guy. Nobody is that good of a person. I wanna know what he's hiding. I still felt like McCoy was the guy who deserved it. Oklahoma's skill players and O-line are some of the best in the nation (big emphasis on O-line here--they're absolutely ridiculous). Put McCoy, Harrel, Daniel, or even Reesing for that matter in there and every single one of them is gonna put up crazy numbers. McCoy had comparable stats and a higher completion percentage with much less talent around him. Tebow honestly deserved it last year.. that guy was Florida's team last year. This year he had more developed talent and took less of the load, which is what should happen. But the award goes to college football's most outstanding player, and I think Tebow, who finished third, should be honored to be a finalist.

Alright, on to the post game thoughts about the Big 12 Championship... a week later. I had to collect my thoughts. It's painfully obvious everytime Mizzou plays a big time school that even though we have seen tremendous improvements, we are still a long way off. Hey, I'll take it. Competing for the North title every year is a long way removed from getting beat by Nebraska 70-3.

Trenches. That where GP & Co. need to get recruits. Big, huge, strong, angry men that just push people around. If Chase gets protection he can pick apart any secondary. ANY secondary. He's that good, and every quarterback gets better when they have time. On the flip side, defense starts up front. I don't care if we had the Ravens secondary back there last Saturday, if Bradford gets 10 seconds every down to throw the ball, his receivers are gonna get open. You can't put that much pressure on a secondary. Our 'backers are gonna be a good group next year, and our secondary will return the starting corners. Next year we need to see improvement on defense, or Eberflus will have to go. A defense that returns 10 of 11 starters from last year's 11-2 team should not be this bad. And they are bad. I mean, 10 starters returned! At the absolute least, they should be about the same. They took a step backwards this year. To me, that says the coaching is not there.

On a rounder note, the MU basketball team is 8-1 on the year, their only loss to a now ranked Xavier team. The loss can be credited to less than 50% from the line and they lost the game by 4 points. Free points. You gotta knock down the free throws.

Also, a big congratulations goes out to Chase Coffman, winner of the Mackey Award, given to the nation's top tight end. That guy is absolutely sick.
