Oklahoma’s Jason White, It takes one to know one, right?
by Travis Normand
Former Oklahoma quarterback, Jason White, won the Heisman trophy in 2003. As with all former winners of the trophy, White will have a vote in deciding who wins the trophy from now on.
So, in early December 2012, Jason White appeared on CampusInsiders.com [link is now apparently dead] revealing who he placed on his Heisman ballot. The article/video that was posted on CampusInsiders.com was titled “It takes one to know one,” in reference to the fact that it takes a Heisman winner to know another Heisman winner.
VIDEO: The CampusInsiders.com video was also posted here at NewsOK.com
Unfortunately, someone is wrong. Either CampusInsiders.com is wrong and it doesn’t take one Heisman winner to know another, or Jason White is wrong in that he wouldn’t know what a Heisman winner looked like if he was staring into a mirror.
The Right Call – Chip Kelly will apparently stay at Oregon
by Travis Normand
According to several reports, Chip Kelly will turn down several NFL offers and remain the head coach at the University of Oregon.
While some will bash Kelly for flirting with the NFL two years in a row, I don’t really have a problem with it. After all, he appears to be one of the few coaches who is able to keep his team focused and unaffected by the numerous NFL rumors.

While I don’t like to reblog other’s work, I couldn’t resist this one.

OPS mentioned in Huffington Post article

This caught me completely off-guard.
I was reading an article on HuffingtonPost.com when I realized that the article had a direct reference to my blog. It even quoted my “about” page.
I was totally blown away.
Oregon scores one-point safety
by Travis Normand
I feel like a cryptozoologist. I am constantly searching for a creature that is so rare it is considered mythical. Most people have never heard of this “monster” and when I tell them about it, they give me a funny look as if they don’t believe me. Despite the crazy looks I keep getting, I have continued to keep a watchful eye open, hoping to someday catch another glimpse of this strange creature.
A one-point safety — college football’s Loch Ness monster.
Texas Aggies win 2013 Cotton Bowl
by Travis Normand
Its been a long wait but I finally got to see Texas A&M win another Cotton Bowl. The last time the Aggies won the Cotton Bowl was at the end of the 1987 season (January 1, 1988). However, tonight (January 4, 2013) the Aggies defeated the Oklahoma Sooners (Big 12 co-champions) 41-13 and added another Field Scovell Trophy to the trophy case in College Station.
The One Point Safety strikes again
by Travis Normand
This post is a work in progress as I am away from my laptop and am having to work via the iPhone.
In what appeared to be another routine and normal extra point attempt, Oregon became one of the newest members of a very small and unique fraternity.
Oregon scored a one-point safety in last night’s Fiesta Bowl (Jan. 3, 2013) against Kansas State. If you missed it, the best you can hope for is to see a replay of the safety because these things don’t happen very often.
Jadeveon Clowney’s hit on Michigan player
by Travis Normand
Did you see today’s Outback Bowl? No? Then you are probably wondering what that loud noise was that shook the ground beneath your feet.
Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about any potential explosions, etc. The source of the tremor was Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) laying a hit on Michigan’s Vincent Smith.
Dana Bible is still coaching!?

Update: [1] Since making this post, I was able to reach someone in the football department at NC State (via @PackFootball on Twitter.com). They told me that Coach Bible is of no relation to Coach Dana X. Bible, but that he gets asked that question a lot. [2] While watching the Music City Bowl I was reminded of a tiny connection that I have with Dana Bible. Bible is coaching the bowl game from the booth and he is being assisted by wide receivers coach Troy Walters on the sideline. Walters was part of Tom O’Brien’s staff at NC State and apparently will not be at NC State next season (neither will Bible). I am mentioning this because I went to high school with Troy and we were in the same graduating class. Small world.
Okay, so “that” Dana Bible isn’t really still coaching but the other Dana Bible is.
A couple of years ago I was watching a college football game when I heard the TV announcer say something that really caught my attention. The announcer was talking about Tom O’Brien’s coaching staff at Boston College when he mentioned that the offensive coordinator was Dana Bible.
