Yes...I grew up in the DFW area. Texas-OU weekend was a HUGE thing.HOOK 'EM HORNS! I LOVE IT WHEN TEXAS BEATS OU!
Still is!
They used to always play in the old Cotton Bowl on the State Fair grounds in Dallas.
Come on Dallas Cowboys...give Kellin Moore his chance!
He was the Boise state QB here and was unbelievable.
He is not big...but he is accurate, has a great arm, is durable...and he knows how to win. His four year college record was 50 wins and 3 losses!
I'd love to see him become the next Dallas Cowboy franchise QB after Romo.
And if he fets a chance, I think he will perform and deliver.

Wow! The Arkansas - Ole Miss game was one of the best I have watched in a long time. Epic football, back and forth the whole game ties at the end of the 1st quarter, tied at half, tied at the end of the 3rd quarter, and tied at the end of the game, 45 to 45, when Arkansas came back and scored.
Ole Miss scored a TD in OT and then Arkansas had 4th and 25 from the 40. A pass, well short and the receiver literally simply threw the ball backwards as he was going down. It bounced off a Arkansas player's hand and then hopped right to their running back at the 40 and he ran all the way down to the 11 yard line for a 1st down.
Arkansas scored and then went for two to win the game. But he QB was sacked...but wait...he was face masked and they got another chance and went for two again and the QB scored! Arkansas won 53 to 52. If you get a chance to see this game, do so...it would be well worth your time.
See the 4th and 25 with the hail mary lateral video here:
Here's a picture of that lateral:
Here's a picture of the winning 2 point conversion:
105 total points scored. 1,195 total yards of offense!

Next fall a promoter (Isay hopes to) put on several exhibition NFL games in NZ. I think they are made up of players who did not make the draft this season, so I dont know how good they will be.
There will be full on American stadium food and cheerleaders to recreate the American atmosphere. Im not crazy about that sort of stuff as my idea of food and entertainment is a cold pie, warm beer,and the "Salvation Army Band" playing at centrefield at halftime. So I dont know whether its worth going

Well, if they are true NFL exhibition games, then they will be the actual teams during the pre-season, and they will definitely play the newer players to see how they do.
If that is in fact the case, the games are apt to be pretty good.
Holmgren will be coaching one team and Mike Shanahan the other..
But it won’t be a pair of preseason games; instead, squads reportedly will be selected from the players who fail to make the final 53-man rosters of six NFL teams.Three of the Six teams announced from where the players will be drawn are the Cowboys, 49ers, and Cardinals.
We might even get to see a couple New Zealand rugby stars — Jarred Hayne of the 49ers and Paul Lasike of the Cardinals — could be among the players returning to play American football.
lol, Chinese NT most likely out of the soccer WC qualifications after 0-0 draw against Hong Kong. They might qualify but it's all about luck most likely from now on. It's good to be Chinese soccer player - European wages, the best of them aren't even able to go through the second round of Asian qualifiers. Classic from Chinese men soccer NT.

I don't follow soccer closely, but I do know soccer is never a China's forte. That is already well known, actually, lol. Despite its size, it could never cut any mustard, unlike Hong Kong, which has been showing up bigger rivals. China shines in sports that yield a lot of medals like shooting, diving, table-tennis, badminton. You can see their medal standings in the Olympics put other some other big nations to shame and that is classy.
