El Pescadito might not be in Dallas tonight…

… But his spirit is clearly with us already today.  Anyone watched any of the Texas/Oklahoma game?  Flops, dives, feigned injuries, all there, in the former home of the Dallas Burn.  Kirk Herbstreit (no relation) has busted out a series of jokes, from the tame “this isn’t football, this is soccer here!” to “we need to take away the yellow flags and replace them with yellow cards!”

OU punter Mke Knall brushed up against someone after he kicked the ball (contact he drew, not the defender), then managed to be helped off the field and require stretching by the trainers.

But Colt McCoy has possible careers as an actor and a Serie A striker.  It takes talent to convince a ref that a linebacker illegally pushed you out of bounds when, in reality, he was just trying to keep you from falling into your own teammates.  It takes special talent to do it twice, and against the same defender.

Carlos, your influence continues to thrive in Dallas.  Good job buddy, feel free to take your time getting back to Toronto, we know you will.
