Congrats to the Big (Bad!) 12!

[Lancer6]

All 12 teams of the Large Dozen won their respective games y'day. Some scored early and often in the process. Others struggled a bit but managed to eke out wins.
Not all teams played quality opponents but those that did proved themselves worthy.
Non-B12 related...How 'bout dem Pirates of East Carolina??? (is that a state I've somehow overlooked) Last week they beat VaTech and y'day they downed West "By God!" Virginia. Two ranked teams beaten on two weeks!
Bad news from "My" game; Our opponent's gutsy and dangerous QB suffered a season-ending broken leg when nailed by the Sooners. Cincinnati played hard and made a fight of it in the second qtr...hats off to them. (OU 52 'Nnati 26) I wish the wounded Bearcat the best.
Other good news: Mike Sherman, latest in a string of coaches at Texiz A&M, got the "First Win" monkey off his back. Gig 'em!
Still more glad tidings...My old HS, San Antonio MacArthur, notched another shutout, 28-zip over Taft, to add to their 42-zero blanking of John Marshall in Week One. Not bad for a team picked one-from-the-cellar in their TOUGH district, according to pre-season polls. Of course, Marshall and Taft are non-district foes but they too are Class 5A. The real tests are yet to come.
OU note: Bob Stoops is two victories away from Win #100 in his tenth year in Sooner Land. When he achieves same, OU will be the first and ONLY school to have had four coaches with over 100 wins each...Benny Owen (pre-WW2, BTW), Bud Wilkinson (3 NCs), Barry "The King" Switzer (3 NCs), and Bob Stoops (1 NC and counting).
Like y'all give a pewp, right?
Well, off to raid the fridge.
God Bless All! God Bless America. God, PLEASE bring me Sarah Palin for Christmas!
