A kid ran out onto the court during last night’s Baylor/Oklahoma game. OshKosh B’gosh promptly fined him for wearing Nordstrom Baby.

In a better world, this is a Baby’s Day Out situation where the kid is super aware of what he’s doing and is trying to motivate Baylor/get on SportsCenter. It’s better than the alternative, which is, “whoops, lost my baby, and there he goes.” (via Bob’s Blitz)

My favorite part of last night’s complete ass-kicking that the Oregon Ducks handed the Kansas State Wildcats was how ESPN’s announcing crew refused to even acknowledge the existence of the AT&T Cotton Bowl on Fox tonight. Of course they mentioned the BBVA Compass Bowl, but God forbid they toss Fox a bone and mention the bigger, better bowl with the bigger, better teams.

Par for the course, I guess. Honestly, the ESPN stuff amuses me more than it bothers me now. Big changes in 2013, that’s what I attribute this new attitude to. Huzzah.

North Carolina State men’s basketball coach Mark Gottfried created/contributed to some rumblings on the old Twitters last night, saying that he has heard that Texas A&M and Florida State may join the SEC. Texas Governor Rick Perry has been praying daily for the SEC to call on A&M, and that shouldn’t surprise anyone because he’s an Aggie alum. But the news about FSU is a bit of a surprise, since the ‘Noles have been ACC mainstays for 20 years. Either way, the Internet is awake so the spin machines are working.

From the Orlando Sentinel:

If the rumors about Texas A&M do pan out, though, it would send the SEC to 13 teams and a potentially swollen SEC West division. That probably would send the conference looking for a suitable SEC East counterpart to balance the sides. For that reason, most believe Florida State, a team already located in the heart of Dixie, and with a big SEC-style following, would be that 14th team.

Sucks for you, University of West Florida. But won’t somebody crap on that rumor?

It looks like I’m going to have to turn “Texas football guys dying” into a daily feature. Yesterday, we shared the story of Prestonwood Christian School assistant football coach Wade McLain, who collapsed and died when he stood outside all day in one of the state’s 40-plus days of 100-degree-plus weather. Today’s story takes place amidst air conditioning but is no less brutal — the storied college sports rivalry between the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas at Austin evolved from aggressive car decals to full-on knife fighting at a San Antonio Applebee’s. Applebee’s©, where stacking food on top of different foods constitutes a new menu item!

The report and video, courtesy of Alamo Graphics News:

An argument over college football escalated into a knife fight at a San Antonio Applebee’s that sent two men to the hospital.

Police said officers were called to a northwest Applebee’s restaurant just before midnight on Monday in regards to a fight that started as an argument between an Oklahoma Sooners fan and Texas Longhorns fan. The argument escalated, and the Oklahoma fan pulled a knife and attacked the Texas fan.

Both were taken to University Hospital, where the Texas fan was last reported in stable condition; the other man in critical condition.

State pride legislation permits me to point how how the Oklahoma fan is the one who pulled the knife and attacked, but is the one in critical condition. Oklahoma, ladies and gentlemen, the Poland of the central United States. I hope by “pulled a knife” they mean he picked up the steak knife he was using at the Applebee’s and tried to stab a guy. I wonder if he got Garlic Mash in his wounds.

While most of the country was undoubtedly celebrating UCF’s victory over Memphis to capture the CUSA East title, Oklahoma State was playing to move one step closer to the school’s first-ever Big 12 championship. Unfortunately, the Cowboys had to get through Oklahoma first and that didn’t work out well in the end. The Sooners won a 47-41 slugfest, as both teams traded late touchdowns for an exciting finish, but the Cowboys’ title hopes are dashed as the Sooners moved to No. 9 in the BCS rankings and will play No. 13 Nebraska for the conference title on Saturday.

OK St. played valiantly, but ultimately a loss is a loss is a loss, so they don’t have much to be happy about, except for what will possibly be remembered as the play of the year in FBS college football this season. With 5:26 left in the second quarter and his Cowboys trailing by 11, Brodrick Brown fooled the cameras when he tipped an overthrown pass by Oklahoma QB Landry Jones into the waiting hands of Shaun Lewis for the interception. Enjoy Brown’s perfect form and execution now before this play is ruined by 30,000 frat boys trying to pull off similar plays in intramural flag football games next year.

After the jump you can relive Brown’s awesome interception, as well as a collection of almost-as-impressive interceptions (feel free to remind me which famous interceptions that I egregiously omitted)…

When the University of Florida and Ohio State (sorry Punte) sucked ballhole on Saturday, college football pundits predicted that the BCS rankings would debut with Boise State atop the rankings. Wrong. Instead, Oklahoma has jumped to the top of the college football world, much to my drunken surprise, and BSU rests at No. 3 behind Oregon at 2. But I’m not here to rip on Boise State or the guy in my office who pretends to be a fan of the… um, crap. Broncos, right? Whew, almost had to Google for a second there.

Instead, I’ve come here to praise BSU. Originally, I was hoping to find video of Boise State’s team entrance against San Jose State University on Saturday, because the Broncos supposedly trampled a SJSU cheerleader or dance team member or just some girl cheering on the Fighting Alpacas* and while that’s not something we should necessarily laugh at, I’m really too hungover to care. The moral of the story is that I’m disappointed in people who didn’t get that damn video on YouTube. Like this dude, for instance…
