Red River Rivalry and State Fair photos from the Wiz. I can’t believe I had to give up my tickets and work through the game

Aaron Ross has two interceptions and a touchdown in NY Giants win. He’s getting more and more playing time and performing well.

Upcoming opponents offer Texas chance to be 2-2 in Big 12. Iowa State and Baylor should mean two conference wins.

It’s never easy to lose to [tag]Oklahoma[/tag] but the Horns played their best game of the season and gave some hope that the all is not lost. ESPN’s highlights are below:

ESPN talks about Gut Check Saturday including the two young quarterbacks that will face off in Red River Rivalry.

Ricky Williams officially applies for reinstatement to the NFL. It could still be two months before commissioner (and others) makes a decision on his future.

Vince Young says the team needs more unity… “This team right here has all the talent in the world. They just need to pull together.”
