Great Honkin’ Cthulu.  The Cowboys are off and I still  can’t get a fucking PFW.
Arlington Heights 21, Dunbar 50
at @11 Texas Christian 10, #10 Utah Fucking Mormons 13
at UBuffalo 37, Miami (Ohio) 17
#6 Oklahoma 66, at Texas A&M 28
at Nebraska 45, Kansas 35
From the kind folks at DFWVersity.com:
Nicholas Rockwell completed 17 of 23 passes for 327 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, and Dominique Sanders had a touchdown catch and a touchdown run as Fort Worth Dunbar won the District 7-4A championship game against Fort Worth Arlington Heights. Sanders had three catches for 48 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown. He ran for 101 yards on four carries, including a 71-yard touchdown. Darius White added six catches for 145 yards and a touchdown, and Rashod Favors ran for two touchdowns for Dunbar.
Now, I dunno whether Heights was simply looking ahead to the playoffs, or pulling a Dallas Cowboys’ late-season tank job on us.  But this was not  the way you wanted to go into the playoffs.  Steve Hale & crew need to tighten things up.
…
It’s beginning to be a formula for the UBuffalo Bulls:  Have James Starks run wild over an opposing defense long enough for Drew Willy to launch a couple of bombs, and you win.
Starks rumbled for another 177 yards on 26 carries and Willy was 18-29-245 and 2 TDs in the win over the Redhawks.  It would have been 3 touchdowns, but Nathan Roosevelt was ruled down at the one on the first bomb.
Starks ran for two touchdowns, including a 62-yard score in the fourth quarter to seal the win for Buffalo (5-4, 3-2 Mid-American Conference). It was his third TD run of 50 yards or more this season.
…
In like fashion, it’s now a formula for the Oklahoma Sooners.  The opening line says it all:
Another fast start, another easy win for Oklahoma.
A&M managed to score two touchdowns in the first half.  Trouble was, they were sandwiched around five OU TDs and a field goal.
Bradford was 22-33-320, and both Chris Brown & DeMarco Murray each ran for over 100 yards in the romp.
…
From this writeup over at ESPN.com:
Joe Ganz passed for 324 yards and three touchdowns, Roy Helu Jr. ran for 115 yards and two scores, and Nebraska bounced back from a humiliating defeat at Oklahoma to beat Kansas 45-35 on Saturday.
The Huskers (6-4, 3-3 Big 12), coming off a 62-28 loss to the Sooners, became bowl eligible with their 20th straight win over the Jayhawks in Lincoln. Kansas (6-4, 3-3), which throttled the Huskers 76-39 in Lawrence last year, hasn’t won on the road against Nebraska since 1968.
That’s the difference between Bill Callahan & Bo Pelini.
Murphy’s Law will now kick in and have the Huskers play TCU in a bowl somewhere.  Just watch.
…
And speaking of TCU – Is there any way we can bring Chris Manfredini back, somehow?
Way to go, Ross Evans.  Or Andy Dalton, take your fuckin’ pick.  Boys, how’s it feel to know you cost your team a chance at the Orange Bowl?
You especially, Evans.  Because you can’t kick your fuckin’ way out of a paper bag, we’ll have to settle for another fucking named-for-a-city-minor-bowl instead of tasting BCS gold.
Dalton threw two picks, one at the end of each half.  The first one allowed the Fucking Mormons™ to drive down and get a field goal at the end of the first half.  The second one, with under a minute to go in the game, cost the Frogs any chance of even tying the fucking game.
In between, Evans – a freshman who probably should either be interning for the soccer team or going through a redshirt year until he FUCKING LEARNS HOW TO KICK – hit the upright from 26 yards in, then pushed another one wide from 35 yards out three minutes later.
Other than that – except for the last Fucking Mormon drive – TCU owned  Utah.  At least defensively, they did.  The Fucking Mormons couldn’t do shit  against the TCU defense.
As for you, Petterson – once a-fucking-gain  you show how in-over-your-head your ass is.  Knowing  that you’ve already got a kicker with the upright in his head, and only needing one fucking yard on fourth down to convert, you send the already-skittish freshman  out there.
You shove that thing down their throats at that point, you go in to score a touchdown and break their backs, and we’re tossing bags of Tostitos all over the place in twelve days.
But now, the 35,000-40,000 that would have been tossing Tostitos and oranges around the stadium all day long will be about 25,000 going “ho-hum” at another minor bowl bid.
Don’t get me wrong – this is a far cry from the Frogs of the 70s & 80s that went 1-10 and 0-11.  I much prefer this to that.
But at some point, Patterson’s charges have to buck up and go take a game that they were favored to win to get to that next level.  They didn’t this time again – and then they wonder why there’s apathy in Fort Worth over the program.
It would help if Patterson would hire Todd Dodge over from N. Texas to spruce up his offensive game.  The Frog offense can run it up against the Stephen F. Austins of the world – but they choked massively against the Fucking Mormons.  And we’ve seen this before, and we’re getting pretty tired of it.  Hiring Dodge and getting rid of Mike Schultz would go a long way towards reassuring the Frog faithful.
But for now, it’s probably Las Vegas and the Pioneer Bowl.  Yawn.
This week:  3-2.  Overall:  46-14.
The PFW returns Thursday, when we refuse to let UBuffalo get another early jump on us.

The Dallas Cowgirls had a bye week.
And still managed to give up 400 yards.
Bucky managed to win a “misery loves company” game against the Hosers of Indiana. The final score was 55-20, Bucky. Trust me. The game was A LOT closer than that. Badger drive after Badger drive after Badger drive stalled after stupid penalties, bad decisions, inability to gain small amounts of yardage…the only reason the Badgers were even in the game in the second half was because the Hosers were just as inept.
And then, the wheels fell off the Hosers game plan. The Hosers QB got injured on a sack, and it was all Bucky from that point on. THREE Badgers had 100 yards or more rushing on the day, and the leading rusher for the Badgers was a WIDE RECEIVER! David Gilreath took two end-arounds for loooooong gains (one of them for paydirt), PJ Hill slammed into the Hoser defense for a buck twenty or so, and John Clay added a bit over a buck in garbage time. All of this was made possible by the Hosers no longer having any confidence in their ability to move the ball (already a suspect skill for them) after losing their QB. When the offense can’t stay on the field, the defense gets tired. Fast.
So was Wyoming-TCU, so yeah – I know.
Darth my friend,
The solution is to give up football, and start watching figure skating. 🙂
I’ll shoot him the second he does.
For humanitarian reasons, of course.
The Dallas Cowboys needs a Karl Rove. Or maybe THE Karl Rove…
