This is getting boring; PLUS: Barton tackles the BCS
By Jim Dallas
Down at Reliant, it's time for Mack Brown to start suiting up the Band (or maybe the cheerleaders). Colorado just can't catch a break. Except when Texas throws it to them.
The USC/UCLA game better be more interesting.
Meanwhile, Smokey Joe Barton has decided to solve a serious problem facing his constituents:
A House Energy and Commerce subcommittee has announced it has called a hearing on how to repair what it called the "deeply flawed" Bowl Championship Series, designed to crown college football's national champion. "College football is not just an exhilarating sport, but a billion-dollar business that Congress cannot ignore," committee Chairman Joe Barton [R-TX] reportedly said.
The hearing, scheduled for next Wednesday, was termed a "comprehensive review" of the BCS and postseason college football. Barton said he does not have legislation in mind to force a change, but said he hopes congressional hearings will spur discussion and improvements. The supreme irony of this is the fact that, barring a major upset in either of two games being played today (Saturday), this year's championship will indeed be a legitimate showdown between the two acknowledged top contenders for the title, Texas and the University of Southern California.
UPDATE: I see Kuff beats me to the good stuff. Go over to his place, will ya?
