The Trifecta- What The @*%! Is Going On In College Football Edition

Ok, race fans, time once again for NASCAR's easiest fantasy game. But first, something that's not so easy- college football. With Nebraska's departure from the Big 12, sources say that Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech are close to signing a deal that will bring them into the Pac 10. Is this a good thing, or am I correct in my thinking that Tech will once again be the conference doormat?

Now on to the races:

1.) The Camping World Truck Series race from Michigan, Saturday June 12; green flag drops at 2:19pm ET (entry list)

2.) The Nationwide Series race from Kentucky, Saturday June 12; green flag drops at 8:15pm ET (entry list)

3.) The F1 Canadian Grand Prix from Montreal, Sunday June 13; green flag drops at 12:00pm ET

4.) The Sprint Cup Series race from Michigan, Sunday June 13; green flag drops at 1:16pm ET.

Have fun, and let's go racing!!

  2. CWTS.....KYLE!

    NNWS......Brad Coleman

    SCS.......KURT!

    We could have 4 Super Conferences with 16 teams each. 4 playoff teams from each play each other. Then the 4 champs settle the national championship on the field. Buh-Bye, BCS!

  10. SB, you have the Arizona schools in the same division, so no worries about Tech being bottom feeders. And since U of A and Tech will meet every year, you and Kristen can run smack against each other!
