		<title>Pickin&#8217; Ain&#8217;t Easy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So putting together my prediction for the end of year Top 10 was something akin to a Dr Seuss book I read to my kids.  Chaos that is somehow presented as genius, which is distinguishable only to someone with the attention span of a two year old. I plowed through at least fifteen sheets of [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s 105 Degrees and Football Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh yes, the time has come.  Gone are the dog days of summer where headlines are filled with nothing but players getting arrested, Universities wishing to be anywhere but the conference they’re currently in, and endless clips on Nick Saban hoisting the crystal trophy.  It’s finally time to gear up, wrap those ankles and get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Texas Tech Football Program: R.I.P.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At 10 a.m. December 30, 2009, after years of mediocrity capped by flashes of greatness, the Texas Tech football program died a tragic death resulting from fatal blows from the University Athletic Director’s ego. Tech fans can thank Adam James, his inability to run routes properly, general laziness, and his father’s use of his position [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breaking the silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s amazing how the addition of a seven-pound person to your home can disrupt, well, everything. Thrice I have sat down to write a bowl picks article. One attempt ended with a blank sheet, one with words that were clearly out of order, and another with a readable piece that was so boring, it made [...]]]></description>

		<title>McCoy&#8217;s No-Math Major</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thursday night we decided to celebrate the impending birth of Brooklyn by taking a few friends to dinner (Mandola’s … is there anywhere else?). Afterward, we put little man to bed and settled in for a romantic evening with some red wine, chocolate cheesecake, and Oregon v. Oregon State. What a lucky woman. Several hours [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Thanksgiving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we made the annual trek to Norman for Thanksgiving &#8211; making it a short trip and skipping town before the impending Bedlam of Oklahoma State arrived. Apparently we didn&#8217;t leave fast enough because our car was broken into Thursday night (Happy Thanksgiving)! Friday morning as the women folk prepared to go shopping, my mother came [...]]]></description>

		<title>Les Is Never More</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So let’s work this one by the numbers. 1. Down by two scores, so you quickly get a TD with less than two minutes to play. 2. Successfully recover an onside kick. 3. 4th and 26, desperation play as the clock ticks down, pass to the five-yard line, one second on the clock 4. Field [...]]]></description>

		<title>California Dreamin&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend might have not been the most exciting college football weekend ever, but the results of some games certainly will have a dramatic effect on the BCS bowl landscape. It’s always too soon to start predicting who will go where, since one little field goal can change everything, but some teams are certainly in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Mess with BYU Chicks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If there’s ever anything that is consistently true about college football, it’s that no team is ever safe. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at the win/loss column for this week &#8212; we’ll start with the losses: Iowa Michigan Notre Dame Kansas Oregon Cal Penn State Oklahoma And the respective wins: Indiana Purdue Navy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making a Statement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My son is 19 months old (that’s just more than a year-and-a-half for the mathematically challenged) and enjoyed his first “real” Halloween this year. At his school, a.k.a. daycare, they did a parade of costumes in which each class would march through the other classes showing off its costumes in hope of spurring envy and jealousy from [...]]]></description>
