Jayhawks face tall task in clash with sixth-ranked Cowboys Wed Oct  5 11:10:43 2011 EST
Kansas opened the season with back-to-back victories over sub par opponents, but the team has lost its last two outings, surrendering a total of 111 points in eight quarters of football. Last weekend, the Jayhawks jumped out to a 20-0 lead over Texas Tech to the delight of the Homecoming crowd, but the Red Raiders roared back to claim the 45-34 victory. "You can't turn the ball over three or four times against a good football team and a win," said Kansas head coach Turner Gill, identifying the m

rt in a 41-21 final. As for the Wolf Pack, they should have registered their second straight win since suffering an ugly 69-20 loss to Oregon in the opener, but the squad couldn't hold up its end of the bargain in a 35-34 defeat at the hands of Texas Tech on the road last Saturday. This week's matchup marks the fourth and final bout on a season-opening road trip for a Nevada program that doesn't play at home in 2011 until October 8 vs. UNLV in a battle for the prestigious Fremont Cannon.

Why is Alabama playing Texas A&M this week and going to Texas Tech next weekend? And why is Syracuse going to Miami in basketball this week and next week they're going to play Florida State?" The crazy thing about the move for Pitt and Syracuse is that, for both schools, the basketball programs have been far m

They were 52-3 losers at Arkansas on September 10 and one week later the Lobos were beaten, 59-13 at home against Texas Tech. New Mexico dropped a 14-10 decision to Colorado State to start the season. The school announced George Barlow, the associate head coach and defensive coordinator, will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Locksley was j

r Big Eight Conference commissioner Chuck Neinas will serve as interim commissioner of the Big 12. Other than Texas and Oklahoma, the remaining members of the conference are Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. "It's a very strong conference," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "I'm pleased at the outcome because I look at the players, their families.

It's the first game against an FCS team this season for Texas State, which has lost a pair of games to FBS opponents Wyoming and Texas Tech, in addition to gaining a win against Division II Tarleton State. Stephen F. Austin has done a superb job of keeping quarterback Brady Attaway upright, as the sophomore signal-caller has only been sacked twice this season. Prediction: Stephen F
Pac-12 decides against expansion Wed Sep 21 08:33:53 2011 EST

There had been speculation that the Pac-12 might expand with as many as four more schools to become a 16-team conference. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech were among those thought to be among the schools considered. The recent talk of 16-team superconferences has increased throughout college sports, particularly in the money-making sport of football, especially after the SEC and ACC both announce

en all it was really interested in was more money.

Both things happened in the span of a few hours Tuesday night, though you wouldn't know it simply by reading the official version of events.

For nearly a year now, Texas and Oklahoma - with Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in tow - have been considering bailing out on the Big 12 Conference to join the Pac-12. This week, both schools finalized details that made it possible to do just that. They didn't even reach the threshold when word came back

Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech were considering a move from the Big 12 to the Pac-12 - a move that could have killed the Big 12. After expanding from the Pac-10 with new members Utah and Colorado last year, members of the new Pac-12 decided not to stretch the league farther

Realignment focus shifts to Oklahoma, Texas Mon Sep 19 02:18:00 2011 EST
eaving last year - Nebraska to the Big Ten and Colorado to the Pac-12 - the Big 12 is in a precarious position as its two richest, most powerful programs flirt with new partners. Oklahoma State is likely to follow Oklahoma wherever it goes, and Texas Tech would likely do the same with Texas.

If all four go, and A&M heads to the SEC, it would leave just five Big 12 teams in the same quandary as the Big East's orphaned programs.
