Chris Mihm is one angry Longhorn

Before he was a Laker, Chris Mihm was a Texas Longhorn. Which makes him, like most Longhorn fans right about now, pretty angry at the treatment their football team received from the BCS.

Last week, the BCS computers jumped Oklahoma ahead of Texas, leaving the Longhorns with little chance of making the BCS title game against Florida.

``If you beat a team head-to-head, how the hell do you lose the tiebreaker,'' Mihm said before the Lakers game against the Milwaukee Bucks. ``It seems like every year one or two teams really get shafted out of a chance and a really great season is thrown away by a computer system where no one really knows how its calculated.''

Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech finished in a three-way tie for the Big 12 South Division championship. The tie was broken by the BCS standings. Texas beat Oklahoma 45-35 on a neutral field in Dallas. But the Longhorns stumbled to Texas Tech on a last-second play. Oklahoma then beat Tech 65-21 on November 22.
