THE MORNING BREW
Two football games you need to watch tomorrow
If you're going to watch football one day this week, that day should be Thursday. I know what you're thinking." Dude,
I know what you're thinking. Dude, no way. Free cover at The Hawk." Or maybe it's, "Oh, what a cop-out because the Chiefs have a bye week."
If you believe the former, then best of luck to you. Seriously. And if your opinion is the latter, then sure, it's the first time this NFL season that The Kingdom won't take home a win for the weekend.
But whether you're being lame and doing homework or sweating it out in a bar basement, college football is calling your name in a very BIG way on Thursday.
The first top-10 matchup features a tenthranked Oklahoma traveling to Waco, Texas, to take on a sixth-ranked, undefeated Baylor team that has dominated on both sides of the football. The Bears currently rank sixth in points allowed, and nobody even talks about their defense because the offense is so good. The layhawks held Baylor to its second lowest scoring output
of the season, 59 points. Yes, you read that correctly. The Bears have had games of 69,
70, 70, 71 and 73 points.
70, 60, 50 and 15 points.
The Sooners' only loss came at the hands of the Texas Longhorns, who have looked impressive during their current five-game winning streak. Oklahoma boasts a top-15 defense, and the matchup with Baylor should be excellent to watch. The winner will have only Texas and Oklahoma State to fend off for the Big 12 championship and a

No. 3 Oregon seeks revenge against a fifth-ranked Stanford team that ended its bid for a perfect season last year and crushed BCS title game hopes.
Oregon appeared set for a head-on collision with Kansas State but both teams lost on the same
night, K-State with an ironic loss to Baylor. Stanford has already beat four ranked opponents this year, and despite a loss to unranked Utah, finds itself very much in the middle of the BCS mix. Oregon is looking for a signature win to boost its resume against other major contenders Florida State and Alabama. The Ducks arguably have been one slipup away from a BCS

So the only thing else that's worth watching is the touchdown montage on NFL Redzone. All the real stuff is on Thursday.

Fate of Houston Astrodome decided in vote
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — When voters in Houston head to the polls Tuesday, they could be deciding whether the shuttered Astrodome is saved or razed.
A referendum on Tuesday's ballot would authorize up to $217 million in bonds to transform the so-called "Eighth Wonder of the World" into a giant convention and event center and exhibition space. Houston-area leaders have said the stadium that was once home to professional baseball and football teams would likely be torn down if the ballot measure fails to pass.
Houston resident Wilton Schexnayder, 62, who has fond
memories of seeing Astros and Oilers games as well as the rodeo inside the world's first multipurpose domed stadium, said he plans on voting in favor of the referendum.
"I think they should preserve it," he said. "It's just a part of the history of Houston."
A coalition of local and national preservation groups as well as a political action committee have banded together to get the referendum passed with the slogan, "Save the Astrodome." While there hasn't been an organized effort against the referendum, some opponents have said the money to refurbish the Astrodome could be better spent on other projects.
The referendum calls for creating 350,000 square feet of exhibition space by removing all the interior seats and raising the floor to street level. Other changes included creating 400,000 square feet of plaza and green space on the outside of the structure as part of the project, dubbed "The New Dome Experience."
"I love the Astrodome. It's the memories of my childhood. But pouring good money after bad is a bad financial decision," said Michael Berry, a former Houston councilman.
Opened in 1965, the Astrodome was home to Major League Baseball's Astros and the National Football League's Houston Oilers.
It was spacious enough to fit its 18-story building under its 208-foot-high roof.
But it hasn't been home to a sports team since 1999 and has been closed to all events since 2009. While still structurally sound, the iconic stadium has fallen into disrepair. On Saturday, thousands of people bought stadium seats, pieces of Astro Turf and other items at a "yard sale" and auction of Astrodome memorabilia.
The stadium's most prominent use in recent years was as a shelter for Louisiana residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
