    You lose fourteen conference games in a row, and lose to San Jose State and then Western Kentucky by four touchdowns in the same season-- your fate is sealed. No program that expects to compete for conference championships is going to tolerate that kind of losing. 

    Correct.  If you can't beat at least those two,  you don't deserve a year three.   Especially if you are SEC SEC SEC!   The cupcakes are supposed to be three or four auto wins to get you two steps closer to bowl eligibility and of course help pump up the rest of the SEC power and poll rankings so the media continues to hype the conference and the playoff selection committees continue to the buy the hype.

    I think the biggest question for Saturday is which way do the refs roll?  Baylor vs. ou.  Only 2 spots apart in the polls.  The refs could easily decide the game.   

    ISU came very close to making it an easy choice.  

  3. That roughing the passer penalty was embarrassing.  How NFL coaches can keep their  on field composure is beyond me?   I would have gone ape shit on the ref to the point the NFL would have to suspend me just to make the damn league address the issue.

  4. I don’t blame ISU for going for the win in this situation.   They were playing in Norman and all of us who have watched games in that shit hole know the Refs  being a factor in the final out come in OT is a very real possibility.  Campbell saw multiple instances of this although the Refs threw some bones to ISU in the form a couple of calls goin their way,  so it came down to rolling dice.

    What I did get from this game is not one team left on OU suxs schedule should be cowering in the corner about playing them.   Once they take a cut or blow to the head, they are like a prized fighter trying to figure out how to punch back because they don’t know how to respond to it.    The key is to not give up once they jump on you and have you down by 14 or 21.   Make a couple of stops like ISU did and chip away at that margin and you have a damn good chance to pull it off.

    yeah the real issue is that bullshit flag pickup that would have given ISU a first down.  the way this conf protects OU is just ridiculous.

    That was a crock because the ref who threw it was standing right in front of the play as it was happening.   It was like the white hat went over there and said we are picking this one up boys because it will swing momentum the wrong way.
