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

Gutlessness.&#160 Pure, unadulterated, one hundred percent, non-biodegradeable gutlessness.

Ladies & gentlemen…your&#160 Allas Cowgirlz.&#160 (That’s right – still no D.)

#14 Oklahoma 31, Iowa 14 (Insight Bowl)

#20 Nebraska 13, #9 South Carolina 30 (Capital One Bowl)

#10 Wisconsin 38, #5 Oregon 45 (Rose Bowl)

Dallas 14, NY Football Douchebags 31

As expected, OU didn’t have that much trouble with Iowa.&#160 In fact, the game was more notable for the fact an ESPN camera came crashing onto the field.

Other than that, we saw the future of OU, as Blake Bell came in for an woefully ineffective Landry Jones and ran for three touchdowns, the last one in the closing seconds to close out the Hawkeyes, who had staged a minor fourth-quarter comeback.

Shame Bucky didn’t have TU’s hand-picked Big-12 Championship zebras to give them one more second on the clock.

Driving with under a minute left and no timeout, the Badgers had gotten to the Duck 25 and a first down with 0:02 on the clock.&#160 But as the ref set the ball for play & wound the clock, even with Bucky’s line set, it apparently took 2.1 seconds to snap the ball & spike it.

Strange.

Other than that, Oregon was – as predicted – too fast for Bucky.&#160 The Ducks ran over, around and through the Badger defense, to the tune of 345 yards on the ground and 268 through the air.

Bo Pelini has to be on the hot seat now.&#160 This is the second year in a row the Huskers have mailed in a POS effort in a bowl game, and one has to start wondering if he’s just another in a long line of good-coordinator-bad-head-coach types.

Up 13-10, they allowed a Hail-Mary TD pass from Gamecock quarterback Connor Shaw to go into the locker room down 13-16.&#160 Given the ball to start the second half, Nebraska drove down for a field-goal attempt, which the usually reliable Brett Maher pushed to the right.

NU mailed it in after that.

I’d have fired Pelini after that, but that’s just me.&#160 As it is, my estimation of him has gone down about five notches.

Shades of Phuckadelphia, circa 2008.

Having pissed away a chance to lock down the NFC East three weeks prior, the Cowgirlz now needed a win in Noo Joisey to close out the Douchebags.&#160 Lose, and they’re out of the playoffs entirely.

And knowing that, they dropped to the ground, figuratively speaking, and turned their yellow bellies up to the Douchebags.&#160 It was easily their worst effort of the season.&#160 Terence “Bust” Newman once again showed he couldn’t cover me, much less an NFL receiver.&#160 Anthony “Bust” Spencer showed that, when it’s a big game, he comes up needle-dick small.

There about about 30 folks on that excuse-for-a-team that don’t need to be there next year.&#160 And if we had anything resembling a competent owner or&#160 general manager, they would&#160 be gone.

Unfortunately, we have Owner Jethro – so the Cowgirlz will continue to be irrelavant for years, if not decades.

All that said, it’s still&#160 a Perfect Football Weekend, for this reason:

#19 Houston 30, #22 Penn State 14 (Ticket City Bowl)

Case Keenum closed out a fine career, and will make some NFL team an excellent quarterback.&#160 Someday.

This week:&#160 2-3.&#160 Perfect Football Weekend achieved (7).&#160 Final 2011 record:&#160 57-20.

And as I write this, Green Bay is stinking up the joint against the aforementioned Douchebags.&#160 Congratulations, Green Bay – you just did what even the Washington Redskins couldn’t do:&#160 Lose to an inferior team.&#160 Bastards.

The PFW will return in August.&#160 If someone manages to nuke Douchebag Stadium before then, I might be in a better mood.&#160 But I doubt it.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled ranting.
