Team Domination...Sort of

I am not really sure how this whole track thing works and how points are awarded but something strange happened in the Big 12 Track & Field Championship. So get this...yesterday at Potts Field in Boulder the Big 12 men teams competed in 8 events the Buffs only placed or scored in one of them and they lead the team event by 13 over Missouri? I guess it helps when you only score in one event that all 5 Buffs in the 10,000 meter field finished in the top 5. There is no "I" in team but in this case, there is probably 5 in team and apparently that is all you need. The Buffs, without a doubt, used the rarified air of Colorado to set the pace in the long distance event and left all the sea level teams to wonder how anyone operates out here. Hopefully the Buffs can keep the lead throughout the weekend but something tells me that they will need a few more than 5 to step up and win the team championship this week.

The womens team failed to score along with Texas. Here are the results for the first day.

No words better to describe the transfer of former starting CU Freshman FB/OL Maiava to UCLA and Slick Rick than sh*tty. Whenever you have a chance to mention Slicker himself, you have to take full advantage. Look at these posts on another sweet college football blog The Wizard of Odds:
