Underdog campuses were fired up all over America on Insanity Saturday. They were also fired up in Auburn, Ala. And in Manhattan, Kan. And College Park, Md. And Tampa, Fla., too.
The students in those locales had reason to party after their teams upset top-10 teams this weekend. Down went No. 3 Oklahoma to Colorado, No. 4 Florida to Auburn, No. 7 Texas to Kansas State, No. 10 Rutgers to Maryland, and on Friday, No. 5 West Virginia to South Florida.
Throw in upset losses by No. 13 Clemson and No. 21 Penn State and even first-half deficits for big dogs USC and LSU against Washington and Tulane, respectively, and you have Insanity Saturday.
My momentary glee at OU losing on a last minute field goal from Colorado was quickly erased by UT's embarrassing defeat at the hands of Kansas State. Once again, the Big 12 is a joke, and the Red River Rivalry Shoot-Out is an afterthought.
We watched the last half of the Texas-KSU game at OU fan Sir Not Appearing On This Blog's house, and we realized the College Game Day bus would no longer be making a stop in Dallas, but zipping right by on I-20 on its way to Baton Rouge for LSU-Florida, itself a game that has lost some of its oomph.
At least Notre Dame is still winless.
