It's just about the last week of regular-season college football.
Today's important games:
Iowa State at Kansas State, 11:30 p.m. central time
Texas at Baylor, 2:30 p.m.
Oklahoma-Oklahoma State, 7:00 p.m.
Wisconsin at Michigan State, 7:00 p.m. (for Big 10 championship)
Unfortunately, UCLA couldn't handle Oregon last night, losing 31-49.
Another game of interest today might be Georgia at Louisiana State; the gut says Georgia might give Louisiana State some trouble, making it a good game.
I'm divided on feelings about the Big 10 championship game today; normally one cheers for one's division, in this case Michigan State (which had been defeated by Nebraska earlier in the season), and normally I do that, but on the other hand, Wisconsin (which defeated Nebraska earlier in the season) is clearly the best team in the Big 10 right now, and as the Omaha World-Herald pointed out three weeks ago, one should hope Wisconsin goes to the Rose Bowl, as any other team from the Big 10, this being such a crummy year, would be an embarrassment to the Big 10.
So it's six of one thing, half a dozen of another thing, in my feelings about that game.
Go Sooners.

Iowa State 0, Kansas State 0, first quarter.
Looking at the whole array of scoreboards for today, it looks like the guys paid to sit in a cubicle in front of a television set watching a game, and punching in the numbers as they happen, were told to take the day off.
-
Finally.
At long last.
A score.
Iowa State 13, Kansas State 17, halftime.
-
Texas 0, Baylor 6, first quarter.
-
Texas 0, Baylor 7, first quarter.
Baylor apparently scored 22 seconds into the game, unless the guy in the cubicle messed up something.
-
Well, I'm compelled to use another scoreboard.
Iowa State 20, Kansas State 23, fourth quarter.
Texas 7, Baylor 14, second quarter.
Georgia 3, Louisiana State 0, first quarter.
I said Georgia might give Louisiana State a tough time.

We got Wisconsin-Michigan State and Oklahoma-Oklahoma State coming up at 7:00 p.m. central time.
And franksolich is being buried in snow.
The first snow of the year on the eastern slope of the Sandhills (the western slope had a couple of storms since mid-November). But since I'm in a bad mood, I shut off the yard-light (which can be seen from the highway) and didn't turn on the Christmas star atop the William Rivers Pitt (which can be seen about a mile away).
<<not in the mood for guests.

I relented and turned on the star, but I'm not having the yard light on.
Somebody gets stuck, it's 32 degrees. Nobody's going to need haven in 32 degrees.

Wisconsin 7, Michigan State 0, first quarter.

Oooops.
Even when Oklahoma defeats Oklahoma State tonight, it's not going to help Oklahoma a whole lot.
Current standings:
7-1 Oklahoma State
7-2 Kansas State
6-2 Oklahoma
6-3 Baylor
5-4 Missouri
4-5 Texas
4-5 Texas A&M
3-6 Iowa State
