The Wiz of Odds

This Guy Is on Radio — He Must Know Something

A week has passed but The Wiz never forgets. Listen to WFAN's Mike Francesa break down last week's Oregon-Stanford and Oklahoma-Baylor games.

It's a good thing he resides in New York instead of, say, Las Vegas, where opinions like this can get one into a lot of trouble quickly.

Thanks to John.

Team Entrance Videos, Part 3

The last installment of entrance videos, starting with UCLA, which specifically designed this humorous entry for the opener against Nevada.

Oklahoma

Oklahoma's fate could be known by midseason. A three-game stretch — at Notre Dame, Texas Christian, Texas (in Dallas) — will likely determine the direction of the Sooners' season.

Oklahoma

This was going to be the year. Oklahoma would win the Bowl Championship Series title and Landry Jones would be the runaway winner of the Heisman Trophy. That line of thinking lasted until Sept. 22, when Kansas State rolled into Norman and beat the Sooners, 24-19. Now Oklahoma is gearing up for Saturday's trip to Texas Tech. The Sooners haven't beaten the Red Raiders in Lubbock since 2003.

Thanks to Land Thieves.

Here's Your Highlight From the Insight Bowl

The Iowa-Oklahoma matchup in the Insight Bowl was the latest installment in what is becoming a long line of bowl snoozers this postseason, so you are excused if you didn't make it to the end of Friday night's game.

However, you missed the most exciting moment. The overhead camera at Sun Devil Stadium tumbled to the field with 2:22 left in the fourth quarter, nearly hitting Hawkeye receiver Marvin McNutt.

The Story Behind the Collapse of the Pac-16

The Longhorn Network claims another victim.

The Pacific 12 announced Tuesday night that it would remain a 12-team league, ending the expansion talk that included Big 12 members Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.

It's the second year in a row Pac-12 had flirted with the four schools and like last year, the deal-breaker was Texas' reluctance to share revenue from the Longhorn Network. Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott is said to have met last weekend with officials from Texas, but the Longhorns' financial demands simply did not fit into Scott's "culture of equality."

That left Oklahoma and Oklahoma State as possible additions, but with little discussion it was determined that expanding to 14 teams was awkward and not financially worthwhile.

An earlier report had Oklahoma demanding the ouster of Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, pictured above, as part of a deal to keep the Sooners in the league. But when the Pac-12 slammed the door, Oklahoma appeared to lose its bargaining chip. For the time being, Beebe still has a job.
