Let us see how the championship picture looks like. In the North, the winner of the Kansas - Missouri match will go to the Big XII championship. If Texas and Oklahoma both win tomorrow, then Oklahoma will become the South division champion. If only 1 of the 2 teams wins, then that team is going to represent the division. In case both teams manage to lose, it will drop them into a 3-way tie with Oklahoma State. And they will have to go to the massive Big XII tiebreaker procedure.

It was obvious the California Poly students were ready for North Dakota State last Saturday. The players began showing up at least an hour before the match armed with “thundersticks.” The California Poly are inflatable noisemakers that can make it hard to hear on the football field. North Dakota State University head coach Craig Bohl noticed them during warmups before the match and discussed the issue with the officials and the university athletic director Gene Taylor.

Michael Oher and many other top juniors now have to a make crucial decision about whether to stay in college without knowing all the facts. Oher likely has only a couple of hours left in his NCAA football career.
Fans of University of Mississippi football, where Oher now plays, have NCAA rules that are made to keep football players in college to thank for his departure.
Michael Oher is a promising left tackle for a disappointing Ole Miss. He is the subject of a book, “The Blind Side,” written by Michael Lewis. He is also set to be the subject of a 20th Century Fox new film due to start shooting in 2008.
Michael Oher’s personal story is perhaps even more thrilling than his athletic ability. The player has gone from nearly being a homeless high school drop out to the adopted son of a wealthy Memphis family on the cusp of National Football League riches in just a few years.
Michael plays left tackle. It has become one of the most valuable positions in the League. When he started researching his book, Michael Lewis discovered that left tackle has actually become the 2nd best paid position in the National Football League, trailing only quarterback. This fact has become really surprising for both NFL team officials and football fans.
Michael Oher, who is six-foot and six-inches tall and 322 pounds, is ranked as the Number 7 offensive draft prospect by SI.com, even though Oher is only a junior playing for a team that is 3-7 and winless in its conference games.

The Cardiac Tigers did it again Saturday night, after having scored 2 touchdowns in the final 3 minutes to rally Number 3 LSU to a 41-34 win at Number 17 Alabama, which should serve as payback for the coach winning a title in Cajun Country but is now believed to be a turncoat by the purple and gold. LSU (8-1, 5-1) pulled this out in typical fashion, going down to the wire in their 4th straight match.
