Bored that college football isn’t here yet? Me too.

I burned some idle time the other day scanning the 2010 schedules of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. They’ll play a total of 34 games next season and I’m going to rank the games from 1-to-34 in Monday’s paper.
One game that ranks higher than you might expect for a Big 12 vs. little school match-up is Oklahoma State at Louisiana-Lafayette.
Crazy things tend to happen at Cajun Field (Kansas State lost there last season) and OSU, for some reason, decided it was OK to play a game that smells like an ambush.
By the way, a poll on Louisiana-Lafayette’s athletic site (ragincajuns.com) asks fans to pick which home game they are most looking forward to this season. The OSU game is the runaway choice at 81 percent.
Fans will be coming out of the bayou to pack Cajun Field. At the risk of stereotyping, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rob Schneider there yelling “You can do eet!”
Scary game. This is why big-league teams seldom volunteer to be the guest of honor (read: dinner) at a little school’s biggest game of the season.
