Vince Young is ABC’s tenth greatest college football player ever. Definitely would have been higher if he returned for senior season.

No Texas game today so you can spend all day rooting against teams ranked ahead of the Horns, or you’ll have time to catch up on the chores your wife has been bugging you about since August. Either way you’ve got a busy day ahead of you. The game of the day is Ohio State at Michigan. Not as exciting as we thought it would be a week ago but the outcome will decide the Big 10 winner.

If you choose to tick off the misses, here’s what to watch today:

(7) Ohio State at (21) Michigan – 11:00 am on ABC. Winner goes to the Rose Bowl and Ohio State could still back their way into a national title shot if they win.

Duke at Notre Dame – 1:30 pm on NBC. Please don’t actually watch this, I just wanted to point and laugh at the worst nationally televised game in history.

(6) West Virginia at (22) Cincinnati – 6:45 pm on ESPN. Cincinnati “upset” South Florida and UConn the last two weeks but I don’t think they can hang with the Mountaineers if White and Slaton play the whole game. The Big East has been terribly overhyped all season but I think WVU is legit.

(17) Boston College at (15) Clemson – 6:45 pm on ESPN2. This is a game between two decent, ranked teams but I still couldn’t be any less interested in watching it. The media keeps screaming about how many second ranked teams have lost this season, maybe it’s because they keep putting decidedly average (or worse) teams like BC and South Florida in that spot?

(4) Oklahoma at Texas Tech – 7:00 pm on ABC. A win by the Sooners means they clinch the Big 12 South. If the dirt burglars win out they also are probably going to get a shot at the MNC. So in other words… GO RAIDERS!

AJ Abrams leads Men’s Basketball to 73-42 win over UC Davis. Close first half but Texas defense holds UCD to 13 points in second half.

Kevin Durant drains buzzer beating 3 in double OT for the win. Great long range shot with people in his face.

Rookie Clint Chapman exhausts himself for game’s sake. Good thing he’s a hard worker because he’s a skinny SOB.

Jamaal Charles won’t tolerate a let down against Aggies. If JC can keep running like he has been Horns will be fine.

For our geekier readers this is a cool video of the Cal band’s halftime show against Washington State earlier this month. A musical tribute to video games featuring theme music and scenes from games like Super Mario Bros., Zelda, and Tetris. Check it out:

Hey their team may suck and the actual music was pretty mediocre, but that was definitely a cool idea and they did a great job with their routine. (Is that the right word? Routine?) Certainly a lot more interesting than a band that just does the same exact thing every single time.

With no more Kevin Durant, Horns expecting inside help. Will be fun to watch Chapman and Wangmene develop this season.

Jamaal Charles named Doak Walker semifinalist. He’ll find out next week if he’s a finalist for nation’s top running back.

Aaron Ross is a big-time player in big city. Making a few mistakes but looks like Giants expect a lot out of him.
