Oh, I know. Which is why it would be special for our little group to have something to remember. I’ve posted here for over ten years and I don’t want to wallow in the poke board who probably wants to

We will never make the playoff. It’ll never happen in my lifetime nor my kids not their kids nor ever. This was the only year we had even a remote chance. And we blew it as we always do. Four fucking

Much like our President has us “rounding the corner” with this virus, it appears Herman has Texas “rounding the corner.”  4 more years and you’ll be at the top of the mountain.

Four fucking turnovers against an unranked team with two losses. This has to be hilarious from the outside but goddamnit I just want one year. One, and I’d be happy with that one year. I’ve turned to other hobbies and interests but I let myself care again for this year only. What a fucking mistake. I wish I could be like some of my friends who don’t follow these games at all and don’t care. I want more than anything to be capable of not caring anymore. Congrats guys. Order has been restored. We won’t bother you anymore under Urban Meyer.

Dude, your team is Oklahoma State. Not even regular Oklahoma. Does Switzerland or Granada get pissed off because they can't win a world war? Does Wolverhampton get pissed off because they're not winning a champions league? 

No, because that's not their place. Oklahoma state will never compete for a national championship because it's impossible. It's out of your level. A Texas is capable with the right mix of winning a title. You aren't.

Just focus your sights on being the conference champion every now and then and being the best in Oklahoma once a decade or so. Those are realistically attainable.

In your dreams. ISU will kick our ass. 

No one is kicking our ass. Tom rarely gets his ass kicked. He just coaches a team with no discipline or a creative offensive system, so games where we should legitimately be kicking their ass turns into 1 possession games that go into OT.

Oklahoma State is less removed from receiving season's end #1 AP votes than Texas.

no shit, wtf

exactly.  we had 2 phantom OPI, one phantom DPI at minimum and exactly ZERO holding calls on OSU OL despit Ossai being dragged down multiple times.  They also had OL downfield all game that went uncalled until the very end when the guy was 9 yards downfield past the receiver even.

We are about to pass up Saban and Meyer in an eight year period aren’t we.

yep.  this league is garbage and we have an experienced team and can't do shit.  Herman is a .600 type coach.  every game is close and you are just going to lose some of those games.  my fear is we lose multiple late.  miss on Urban and fuck the whole recruiting class.

I don’t expect to be a blue blood. I know where we are in the pecking order. I just wanted one magical year. It’s happened for others but not us and I’ve pretty much given up all hope that even one special year is possible.

This^ is close to what it feels like to be a Texas fan.

It's counter intuitive, but if we win it's particularly damning of Herman.


OSU is a better team than tech, tcu, or ou this year. If we win, that will only confirm the knock on Herman. He can prepare and motivate his teams for a few big games a year, but can't do this on a week to week basis for less exciting matchups.

A win simply proves we had the talent to be better this year but have lacked coaching and motivation.

A loss just means we're as bad as we thought we were.

Either way, it's bad for Tom.
I'm going to quote myself bc this is still my feeling with the game over.

All today proves is that this team was capable of much more with the appropriate preparation. Anything positive Tom did for himself tonight is equally damning of the job he did against tech, tcu, and ou.

He should still be gone, but I'm really happy for the players who deserved the win.

Shit man they tried. 12 penalties for 142 yards. They couldn't account for 4 OSU TOs and their kick coverage unit playing grab dick with themselves.

they absolutely tried.   I have to say we made Sanders beat us and he kept fucking up.

Our O was a complete disaster save 2 drives.  The DB's were lost for 80% of the game.   OSU had to have a complete TO meltdown(yes 2 were forced) and a special teams blow up to lose.

of course, he should be gone.  we shouldn't be losing to any of these teams this year.

2011 was your shot man.  It should’ve been OSU playing, not Bama.

Yeah that was as ugly a win as you could hope for.  Nasty.  U-G-L-Y.

Four TOs and you go to OT?  Offensive futility to infinity.

100% this. I'm cool occasionally winning games we aren't supposed to win. I'm fed up with losing games that shouldn't be a problem.
