L.A.'s college football TV schedule Week 15: Either God bless this mess, or don't mess with Texas ... what is it?

What do Texas and Texas Tech fans have to gripe about? No Big 12 title shot? No BCS title shot, with just one loss?

I say, I say ... Why not just get out the six-shooters and fire 'em at anything moving.

You don't like it, change it.

You had a president in the oval office the last eight years, and you never twisted his arm to get the BCS fixed?

Too late.

The next leader of the free world seems to have this on his agenda, whether or not it helps the University of Hawaii get into an eight-team playoff at the end of the season.

Let's move on, clean up the 2008-09 debacle, and forge ahead with blinders:

THE LOCALS:

==Saturday, 1:30 p.m., Channel 7: USC at UCLA (with Mike Patrick, Todd Blackledge and Holly Rowe). Prime Ticket has a pre-game show at 1 p.m. and a post-game show at 5 p.m.

SATURDAY:

==7-to-9 a.m., ESPN: "GameDay" avoids L.A. and of course goes to Atlanta for Florida-Alabama in the SEC title game, but at least you can review Chris Fowler challenging "Tommy Trojan" to a push-up challenge (linked here) until "an old bowling injury" interrupts it. After this one, Kirk Herbstreit hops a jet to Kansas City to call that night's Big 12 title game.
