Buncha over reactions all over Surly. Yeah it sucks that we lost. NO it doesn't mean that we're going to lose to OU for eternity. The whole "different coach same story" schtick is tired. We didn't lose to OU because of ineptitude on the coaching side. Yes Sark could have "counter adjusted" to OU's defensive adjustments better...but we put up 48 points!!! Our problem isn't X's and O's, it's Jimmys and Joes. Unfortunately fixing that takes more than half a season. Those of you expecting to beat (or "dominate OU" on the Surly podcast) had UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS this season. And I'm here to tell you something else: thinking we're going to win out and see OU again in the CCG is also an unrealistic expectation. We will drop at least 1 more to one of OSU, ISU, or Baylor. If we get there, it's going to be a back-it-in situation, not a Texas-wins-out-and-controls-our-own-destiny situation. That's who we are this year. Even if we get back to the CCG vs. OU again...what makes anyone think the result will be different? If anything it could be a lot worse, now that they have a legit dual threat QB.
Don't get me wrong, I hope we make it, I hope we beat their ass in round 2 if we get there. But I ain't expecting it, this year. This isn't a "let's wait till next year, get 'em then!" troupe...it's reality. OP talking about NY6 bowl and top 5 finish...LOL. That's not who this team is (yet).
