 The Chiefs have had two defensive linemen in recent memory that have worn the number 90 and had the name “Smith” on the back of their jersey. Neil Smith was selected second overall in the 1988 draft out of Nebraska and was a six-time Pro Bowler. Shaun Smith, on the other hand, was an undrafted free agent out of the University of South Carolina in 2003 who at the age of 29 is a journeyman who has s...

 Dear Romeo Crennel,
Let me start out by saying, “Thank you!” for what you've done with the Chiefs defense this season.
I'm not sure if you realize this or not, but the blue collar defensive-minded fans in Kansas City have been waiting for you and this year's defense since Marty Schottenheimer resigned way back in 1999. For more than a decade under Schottenheimer, Chiefs fans filled...

 This Saturday the Colorado Buffaloes will honor their 1990 National Championship Football Team. That's nice isn't it? Not if you are Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket fan, because back in 1990 the Yellow Jackets should have been the consensus national champion instead of splitting the title with Colorado.

Keys to the game:
1. Texas must limit it's mistakes. The Longhorn offense has been mistake-prone through the first four weeks of the season. Whethe...

 Yes it is that time of year agian. The annual showdown in Dallas has come and while things are about to get very crazy outside the Cotton Bowl, it will be worse once the game starts on saturday. What looked like a guarunteed top ten match up has been derailed. So this now leaves the question, Can Texas win this game?
While Oklahoma is by no means a powerhouse this year, they have been tough at ti...
