Random thoughts about football ...Cam Newton was clearly the best college player this year. He deserved the Heismann. But I seriously hope this never turns into another Reggie Bush give-it-back scenario.
It's hard to believe the Rams are actually in the playoff hunt. Except for Sam Bradford, the offensive talent is no better than previously and probably worse. The defense is remarkably better, anchored in the middle by the surprisingly good James Laurenitis. If they finish at .500, it'll be a fine year for them, and if they luck into the playoffs by virtue of the NFC West, so be it.
Have you noticed all of the Mizzou grads who are doing well in the NFL? Brad Smith is an exciting contributor on the Jets, Jeremy Maclin is an elite receiver, Justin Smith is doing well, Chase Daniel just moved into the #2 slot behind Drew Brees, and there are many others. I guess those are the rewards of a successful program.Oklahoma bested Nebraska in the Big 12 championship, and all I could think of was "don't let the door hit you on the way out of the conference, Nebraska".
