BEVO Edition #1

Ok dear reader(s)...time for a new Friday feature which will run throughout the college football season.

***Update*** 1:41pm ET
Texas and BYU add home and home games to schedules.

Now back to our regularly scheduled blog:

The BEVO edition, named after the stalwart symbol of the glorious Texas Longhorns will of course cover the 'Horns, but also a couple of other favorite teams; the University of Wyoming Cowboys and the Auburn Tigers.

For fans of OU and CU and yes, Nebraska we extend our apologies in advance.

This past week, ESPN re-ran the National Championship Game between Texas and 'Bama. We didn't watch. Once was enough to see Colt go down. But a new season awaits and all is well with the world.

The Big 12 almost folded itself into what might have been the PAC 16. We would have liked the opportunity to visit new venues in cities like San Francisco. Now the Big 12 is the sort-of Big 12. With Nebraska heading to the Big 10 this years match-up between Texas and the Huskers will overshadow the OU game if you can believe it.

Lots of changes coming to several converences in the coming years. How it will all shake out remains to be seen but we'd be disappointed if there is no championship game in the Big 12 or whatever it ends up being called. It's very likely one or more teams will be moving into the conference depending on what kind of television deals can be made.

Then there's the whole mess with USC. We're not fans of Lane Kiffin, who is? But it's sad players who came to USC after Reggie Bush left will pay the price.

We're just weeks away from the happiest time of the year, college football season. It should be a grand one.
