Mixed Nutts

Is it just me or is all the fuss over DMac's new ride a little over the top? After all, the guy is almost certain to be a millionaire in a few months. Why are the media not obsessing over Chase Daniel's new Lincoln truck and the trip to Vegas? Could it be a little double standard due to skin pigmentation (no pun intended)?

Car dealers have been known to use what is known as a "balloon payment" plan to high profile amateur athletes with a very small down payment and a big balloon payment due in a few months or a year.

Why is it every time the Hogs play in the Cotton Bowl something like this comes up. Well, maybe not every time, I don't recall anything like this in the game with OU a few years ago, but the Texas game in 2000? D.J. Cooper? You would have thought his name was D.B. Cooper.

At least it happened in time for UA to hopefully get DMac's status cleared up by gametime. I'm sure according to the carnival barkers of ESPN, Bobby Petrino is somehow responsible.
