FORT WORTH, Texas -- Landry Jones and Oklahoma treated their regular-season finale like a championship game -- and finished wearing caps and T-shirts declaring the 12th-ranked Sooners the Big 12 champions. Jerraud Powers Jersey . The Sooners have to share their eighth Big 12 title since they didnt get any help later from archrival Texas. "Sharing it or not sharing it, winning the conference championship is great," Sooners defensive end R.J. Washington said. With their 24-17 victory Saturday, after TCUs fourth-down pass to the goal line in the final minute fell incomplete, the Sooners (10-2, 8-1 Big 12) earned the right to proclaim themselves Big 12 champs. They also might have locked up a BCS at-large bid "In the end, its just great to be in this position and to be a winner again," coach Bob Stoops said. "For these guys, Big 12 champs, or co-champs, theyre recognized as champions." Jones threw for 244 yards with two touchdowns and Damien Williams ran untouched 66 yards for a score as the Sooners won their eighth consecutive Big 12 game since a late-September loss to Kansas State. But the seventh-ranked Wildcats (11-1, 8-1), with the head-to-head tiebreaker over OU for the Big 12s spot in the Fiesta Bowl, finished their regular season with a 42-24 win at home Saturday night over No. 23 Texas. The Sooners, whose only other loss was to No. 1 Notre Dame, are in good shape for the final at-large BCS berth Sunday. Kent States double-overtime loss to Northern Illinois in the MAC championship game likely ended any chance for that league to get in the Bowl Championship Series. Though the final standings come out tomorrow and either Boise State and NIU could slip in. TCU (7-5, 4-5), the two-time BCS buster in its first Big 12 season, lost all four of its conference games at home despite going 4-1 in league games on the road. "We had a chance to win the game, simple as that," coach Gary Patterson said. "We gave up an easy touchdown when a couple of freshmen blew an assignment." The Frogs were still within a touchdown when Oklahomas Mike Hunnicutt missed a 42-yard field goal attempt with just under 3 minutes left. After the Sooners won their last two games by scoring in the final minute -- to win at West Virginia, and then with 4 seconds left in regulation to force overtime and beat Oklahoma State -- their defence closed things out this time. Frogs freshman quarterback Trevone Boykin, who finished 17-of-31 passing for 231 yards, threw a 46-yarder to Cam White to the Oklahoma 12. On third-and-10 from there, Boykin got in the end zone on a keeper, but the play was called back because of a holding call -- an obvious penalty that cleared the way for the score. After hitting Josh Boyce for 7 yards, the Frogs had fourth-and-13 from the 15 in the final minute when Boykin threw toward Boyce again. But he couldnt make the play between two defenders. "We like to make them interesting around this place," Jones said. "Unfortunately we didnt finish it the way we wanted to offensively, but the defence did." The Horned Frogs four-game home losing streak is their longest since five in a row from November 1996 to November 1997. Before this year, they hadnt lost consecutive home games in the same season since 1998. Oklahoma has won the Big 12 in every even-numbered year since Bob Stoops became coach in 1999. The Sooners, who also won a conference title in 2007, have been to eight BCS games in that span. Just a minute into the second half, Williams took a handoff, shot through a gap on the left side of the line and sprinted undeterred to the end zone for a 21-7 lead. Jones, coming in off the first consecutive 500-yard passing games by a Sooners quarterback, completed 22 of 40 passes. Williams had his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season, with 18 carries for 115 yards. After a 75-yard Oklahoma punt, the Frogs had their second one-play scoring drive of the game. Brandon Carter caught a pass behind the Sooners secondary and raced 80 yards for a touchdown. Boykin fumbled later in the third quarter when he was sacked by Washington, a play that was initially ruled an incomplete pass until overturned on replay. That led to Hunnicutts 34-yard field goal. Jaden Oberkrom kicked a 47-yard field goal for TCU with 7 minutes left, which came after the Frogs had lined up to go for it on fourth-and-4 from the 25 before a false start penalty. Oberkrom was just wide right on a 32-yard attempt earlier in the fourth quarter, though the freshman kicker held his hands out in disbelief and replays showed the ball might have been inside the upright. Oklahoma had a 14-7 lead at halftime after overcoming an interception by Jones that immediately led to a TCU touchdown, then a personal foul penalty that set up a third-and-23 play. Sam Carters interception and 42-yard return set TCU up at the 6. Boykin ran for a score on the next play for a 7-7 tie. When Oklahoma got the ball back, Jones quickly completed five consecutive passes to the TCU 22. On the same play Kenny Stills dropped a pass near the goal-line, 303-pound lineman Tyrus Thompson was called for a personal foul after twice punching the helmet of Stansly Maponga while on top of the defensive end. That made it third-and-23 from the 24, but Jalen Saunders caught a TD pass with Sam Carter defending him. "I didnt do my job. I felt I should have made a play right there," Carter said. "You never know what could have happened." Kavell Conner Jersey .C. -- Cam Newton found himself apologizing after Sundays game. Adam Vinatieri Jersey . The NBA commissioner and the leagues competition committee met Monday and had a discussion about players deceiving referees into calling fouls by falling down, or flopping. http://www.shopthecoltsjersey.com/pat-mcafee-jersey . Zambrano pitched a three-hitter for his first win of the season and Giancarlo Stanton extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a two-run homer, leading the Miami Marlins to their seventh straight win with a 4-0 victory over the Houston Astros. Andrew Luck Limited Jersey . So did future Texas teammate Jordan Spieth, who also offered a well-done handshake to the California kid who couldnt steal the U. Coby Fleener Elite Jersey . It ultimately wound up in the end zone, and that was just fine with the Chicago Bears. They got back to winning thanks to their defence, with Wright coming up with the biggest play.POZNAN, Poland -- Blowing kisses to the crowd with a joyous grin on his face, it was a different Antonio Cassano who walked off the pitch this time. Cassano, who wept uncontrollably after Italy was eliminated from the 2004 European Championship, scored the decisive goal Monday when Italy beat Ireland 2-0 Monday to reach the Euro 2012 quarterfinals. "We Italians are used to suffering, but we always give our best," said Cassano, who nearly lost his life with stroke-like symptoms seven months ago and then required minor heart surgery. "The victory was something we struggled for but the most important thing was to get through the group." With Italy needing a win to stand a chance of advancing, Cassano scored the first goal. He headed in with his back to the goal by the near post following a corner kick in the 35th minute on a warm and muggy night at the Municipal Stadium. Substitute Mario Balotelli doubled the lead in the 90th, a minute after Ireland was reduced to 10 men when Keith Andrews picked up his second yellow card. Still, Italy had to wait a few moments after the final whistle to celebrate, before receiving word that Spain beat Croatia 1-0 in the other Group C match. The victory ended a five-match winless streak for Italy, which began the tournament with 1-1 draws against Spain and Croatia following three friendly losses. "I couldnt wait for them to blow the whistle in the other game and for it to finish," Cassano said. Italy had been worried about a 2-2 draw between Spain and Croatia, which would have eliminated the Azzurri no matter if they beat Ireland. Thats exactly what happened at Euro 2004, when Italy beat Bulgaria in its final group match thanks to Cassanos winning goal. But Italy was sent home when Denmark and Sweden finished 2-2. He cried that night, but eight years later he helped send Italy to the next round despite concerns that he might not even make the squad. In October, Cassano fell ill with stroke-like symptoms on AC Milans team plane. He was out for five months and has said repeatedly that he thought he might never recover. Cassano was also left out of the Azzurris last two World Cup squads by former coach Marcello Lippi, who worried about Cassanos temper. Theres never been any question over Cassanos talent, though. Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given got his hand to Cassanos header, but couldnt prevent it from going in. Balotellis goal was a work of art, with the 21-year-old striker acrobatically wrappping his shot around defender John OShea in mid-air, as he met a corner kick from Alessandro Diamanti. Samson Satele Jersey. Having started Italys opening two matches, Balotelli replaced Antonio Di Natale in the 74th. Italy will meet the Group D winner Sunday in Kyiv, Ukraine -- with France, England and co-host Ukraine among the possible opponents. "No difference to us (who we play). We have already played Spain, who are reigning world and European champions," Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said. "If we play well, we can take on anyone." Spain won the group with seven points, Italy finished second with five, Croatia was next with four and Ireland -- which was already eliminated -- exited its first major tournament in 10 years with none. "We played well tonight, but without creating too many chances either," Ireland forward Robbie Keane said. "Were disappointed not to get anything out of the group, but weve been beaten by better teams." Italy controlled the match for long stretches, but Ireland -- managed by former Azzurri coach Giovanni Trapattoni -- threatened often with counterattacks. Andrews had been Irelands most dangerous player. Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon did well to control a bouncing effort from Andrews on the hour mark and the midfielder came even closer with a free kick that Buffon stopped with a diving save in the 79th. "We had to suffer a lot in this game -- perhaps more than in the first two," Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi said. "We werent afraid of them equalizing but they hit the long ball and all you need is one piece of good fortune." With the temperature hovering at 30 C (86 F), half the stadium was filled with green-clad Irish fans -- even with their team already assured of going home -- while there was only a small pocket of Italian supporters. Ireland wore black armbands to commemorate the 18th anniversary of shootings in Northern Ireland that killed six people. ------ Lineups: Italy: Gianluigi Buffon, Ignazio Abate, Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini (Leonardo Bonucci, 57), Federico Balzaretti, Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, Thiago Motta, Daniele De Rossi, Antonio Di Natale (Mario Balotelli, 74), Antonio Cassano (Alessandro Diamanti, 62).
