While I am thrilled that Cain is currently the GOP front runner, I am concerned that numbers two and three are Romney and Gingrich. To me this indicates a Republican party which still does not firmly embrace any sort of conservative ideal. Because of this lack of conviction, one must wonder if it is time to send the GOP packing, and to find another vehicle to advance the concepts of limited government and fiscal responsibility.

Bob Stoops, you’ve heard of the concept of “attaboy…awshit”, right?

Arlington Heights 38, South Hills 12

TCU 69, New Mexico 0

Oklahoma 38, Texas Tech 20, Texas Tech’s C-USA zebras 21

#13 Nebraska 41, at UMinnesota 14

St. Louis 7, at Dallas 34

Heights followed their usual formula of toying around with an opponent, then shutting them down in the second half.&#160 I’m rather surprised – I expected the Scorpions to give them more of a fight.

Something interesting, though:&#160 apparently Ged Kates has moved QB Omar Valadez to running back – and down the string at that.&#160 Vince Berrones started at quarterback for Heights Friday night, and Valadez only got one carry for eight yards.&#160 Hmm.

Some “dangerous”.

First New Mexico play from scrimmage was a run up the gut…and a fumble.&#160 And a Frog recovery.&#160 And a drive up a short field for a touchdown.

Lather, rinse, repeat.&#160 Boom, TCU up 14-0.

How bad was it for New Mexico?&#160 Eighty-five yards of total offense.&#160 A single-digit number of plays run on TCU’s half of the field.&#160 TCU scout-team quarterback Rick Settle running the offense in the fourth quarter – and scoring.

New Mexico is where TCU was about forty years ago, back in the Billy Tohill era.&#160 And they might stay there for a while.

Sad.

And if you think that’s&#160 bad, how pathetic is the UMinne-haha program nowadays?

The Huskers (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) took over TCF Bank Stadium in their first trip to the Twin Cities since 1989. More than two-thirds of the stadium was filled with red-clad Nebraska backers, and they had plenty to cheer about.

They got a show, alright.&#160 Taylor was 13-22-162 and a score, Burkhead ran for 117 and a touch, part of a 346-yard rushing clinic put on by the Huskers.

Almost like the old NU-Iowa State days.&#160 Right down to the Minne-haha unis.&#160

Outside of a couple of Stephen Jackson runs (one for a score), the Ram offense was dreadful.&#160 And even Jackson wasn’t a cure-all, as most of the time they were just running him into a brick wall, almost literally.&#160 Kinda reminded me of the Troy “What do ‘voluntary’ mean?” Hambrick days for the Cowboys, when it was half-a-yard ‘n a cloud of Astroturf.

As for the Cowboys – well, who needs Romo when you have DeMarco Murray?&#160 The former OU standout ran for a club-record 253 yards, 91 of them and a touchdown the first time he touched the ball.

Even Dez Bryant got into the act in the second half, catching about three or four passes (one for a score).

Rob Ryan’s defense, not having to defend the object of the NFL’s worship, Tom Brady, this week…did remarkably well.&#160 Then again, when all you have to do is make sure AJ “Touchy” Feely doesn’t hurt you, and as long as all they were doing was running Jackson straight into the line…well, anyone can defend a no-dimensional offense.

Still, it was a loss for me, as I refuse to pull any longer for El Choko, so I’ll take my lumps here.

And speaking of taking lumps…Bob Stoops? Aw, shit.

Congratulations, Bob-o.&#160 You just lost to a vastly inferior team.&#160 At home.&#160 Where you hadn’t lost since dropping one to a good TCU team six years ago.

Still, it wasn’t all your fault.&#160 Texas Dickhead-o-logical brought SMUT‘s officiating crew with them.&#160 How else do you explain two blatantly ignored block-in-the-back penalties that led directly to touchdowns, plus a phantom roughing penalty that led to another one?

But you can’t expect good things to happen when you guys start believing your press clippings – and that’s part of what happened here.

Perhaps you should go have a talk with Gary Patterson – both about letting your teams get the big head…and not letting biased officiating crews work your games.

This week:&#160 3-2 (Dallas’ win counts as a loss).&#160 Overall:&#160 31-8.

In other news, Bucky lost at Lansing again, and Kansas got destroyed by K-State.&#160 KU to their head coach:&#160 So long, Turner, been nice knowing ya.

The PFW will return Thursday, when we take another look at a former Cornhusker who seems not to watch his own Chrysler commercials.
