The glory of disdain

One of college football's grittiest rivalries gets a do-over Saturday for the first time since 1903, and once again this week we've been treated to the reason the college game is so much more outright fun than that stuff they play on Sundays.

It's Oklahoma vs. Texas for the Big 12 title, a rematch of the October game in which the Longhorns handed the Sooners their only loss. And, boy howdy, the enmity is flowin'.

To sum up: OU's quarterback doesn't like UT's quarterback. UT's quarterback doesn't much care for OU's quarterback. None of their teammates like the other team's quarterback either.

Best quote of the week so far?

This from Texas defensive tackle Chris Nelson: ""It's gonna be a dirty game. You'll probably see hitting after the whistle. You'll probably see a lot of stuff if you keep your eyes open.\

"It's gonna be a dogfight. But I love it, man."

Who doesn't?
