Big 12 Conference Preview

Ok, a quick history lesson for you football fans out there. Before the 2007-08 season, what year did Kansas and Missouri finish 1 and 2 in conference? Anyone....Anyone, it was 1909 while both teams were apart of the Missouri Valley Conference. I dont think that 08-09 will give us a repeat of the 07-08 season, besides KU and MU going to war over the North Division the were many other highlights. Colorado showed that they are a program that is on the rise, Kansas St.'s Jordy Nelson became one of the best WR's to come out of the Big 12 in years. There was also the "Oscar Worthy" preformance by Oklahoma St.'s Mike Gundy. If you dont remember here it is http://youtube.com/watch?v=aoMmbUmKN0E
