Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Granted, when you’re a King and Tyrant&#153, you don’t go around apologizing very much.&#160 But in this instance, I think it’s probably warranted.

Arlington Heights 30, Wichita Falls Hirschi 27
TCU 17, Oklahoma 10
Dallas 27, Jacksonville 20
North Texas at LSU, postponed

Heights shot out to a 30-14 lead, then held on to beat the Huskies.&#160 This is good experience, should the Yellow Jackets reach the playoffs, where close games are not uncommon.

Jacksonville played second- and third-stringers all game last Thursday, but it’s an encouraging sign that the Cowboys took care of business against them.&#160 Julius Jones ran well, and the o-line protected Drew Bledsoe well enough that he was able to complete seven of eight in limited playing time.

New acquisitions Jason Ferguson (free agent) and Marcus Spears (draft choice) each saw their first action of the season and played well.&#160 Spears contributed a sack.

UPDATE:&#160 Damn @*&%&@~!~$! post gremlins…

Two teams played a college football game last Saturday.

One team had competed for the national championship the last two years.&#160 The other team couldn’t even manage a winning season last year against vastly inferior competition.

One coach was being pleaded with here in the Realm&#153 to come coach the Dallas Cowboys.&#160 The other coach was hearing calls for his head on a platter – not just from here, but from home fans, as well.

So you would think&#160 that the Oklahoma Sooners would have, should&#160 have decimated the TCU Horned Frogs.&#160 This should have been something on the order of 35-70 at the hands of Texas Tech last year.

The Frogs, however, had other ideas.

TCU played OU evenly in the first quarter, then the Frog defense began to flat-out kick Sooner ass.&#160 An interception due to quarterback Paul Thompson being pressured led to TCU’s first touchdown, a 16-yard pass from Tye Gunn to Derek Moore on 3rd-and-11.

The Frogs would extend their lead to 10-0 on a Peter LoCoco field goal.&#160 LoCoco positively sucked as a freshman walk-on, but seems to have his head right with ball this year.

OU tied the score at 10 after having opened the second half with a touchdown drive of their own, then tackling TCU punter Brian Cortney before he could get the kick away from the TCU 16.&#160 OU made it to the TCU 5 before the Frog defense stuffed the Sooner offense.

TCU scored its final points off a turnover by OU backup quarterback Rhett Bomar.&#160 Jamison Newby sacked Bomar and caused a fumble, which was recovered by linebacker David Hawthorne.&#160 Running back Robert Merrill scored the winning points with just under 12 minutes to play, and a late Sooner comeback was thwarted by a Drew Coleman interception with under nine minutes remaining.

It was Bob Stoops’s first September loss at Oklahoma, and the first time OU had lost a home opener since 1996 – oddly enough, the last time the Sooners opened with TCU.

So, Gary Patterson – consider that apology made.&#160 I wanna see you manhandle SMU next week, but maybe you’re not in over your head after all.

The PFW will return Thursday or Friday or for another crack.
