Texas has made their way to the Big 12 title game. Win that, and you'll get your shot at the National Championship Game. But the big question is this: do you really want your shot at Florida or AlabamaAs a Sooner backer, I make my own entertainment by knocking Texas University fans for playing Stephenville High School every other week. And the fact that they haven't played a top 10 team all season helps my case (even though they did beat Louisana-Monroe decisively). But their next argument comes about the Sooners not winning bowl games. All I can think of is WAIT...hold the phone, tap the brakes, ease up just a little.Longhorn fans revel about the fact they won the National Championship in 2005. Congrats...you won, but on your only opportunity. You should get your shot again this year. Since 2000, Oklahoma has played in four national title games and 3 other BCS games mixing in a Cotton Bowl and Holiday Bowl wins along the way. Generally, to get in a BCS game, you have to be ranked somewhere in the top 10. To get in the title game, you HAVE to be ranked 1 or 2. I'll trade this off year for the last 10 years of dominance. Yet, Longhorn backers refer to their dominating rival as "Chokelahoma" because of they are only 4-5 in those 9 games (losing the last 5 BCS games).Do I trade a loss in a National Championship Game for the opportunity to play in it Me Not a chance. I'd take that loss over any Holiday Bowl win.But Texas TCU You may want to think about what you are asking for. You're going to get your shot. But this nation has fallen in love with Tim Tebow, and there is a reason why. (Remember, my Sooners found out about that too.) They've fallen in love with him because he's a winner...and when he plays your team in the National Championship Game, he's going to win.Once you lose that National Championship Game, do I have the right to call you a choker You've done that to me for years..
By Anupreeta Das Stocks LAS VEGAS, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) onThursday threw its weight behind a new Intel (INTC.O) chip thatlets TV viewers interact with their favorite programs,underscoring a continuing effort to merge computers and media. The new chip from Intel could offer content providers likeDisney and electronics manufacturers new ways to collaborate onprogramming, Sweeney said at the Consumer Electronics ShowID:nN05368327 in Las Vegas. The chip, which Intel launched last year specificallytargeted at the consumer electronics industry, is designed tobe included in TV sets and contains software that letsnetworks, content creators and other developers add their ownapplications. Sweeney said they could work on widgets small softwareapplications that allow GMA viewers to cast votes or commentin real-time on stories being broadcast. ABC could even buildwidgets that take viewers through the step-by-step instructionsfor recipes shown on GMA's cooking segment. And ABC may also develop an application specifically forthe series finale of "Lost", next year. "We know fans of Lost have a huge appetite for insight andinformation into the show," Sweeney said.
