Little known fact: The 2007 "I'm a man, I'm 40" speech was about Alan Bowman.

Played like shit and still won, there's something to be said in Gundy's favor for how often we pull it off, but we really need to find a way to just play well from start to finish against good opponen

Historical records are very important in college football. Just look how often blue bloods depend on them to remain relevant.

That doesn't work for original blue bloods as Rutgers, with some of the all time national titles ever recorded, when you get blown out by Kansas...

Yeah and most of that was complied in the wasteland that was OSU football before Gundy.  It's like looking at a series record against Kansas State. The before Bill Snyder series record doesn't mean shit.

Gundy is 11-3 against TTU.

Sound familiar?

Still have to win once every few decades for it to work. Tennessee's time is running out.

Agreed... The Vols should have let the other AD hire Leach from Wazzou...

Losses suffered under a shitty coach don't count, apparently.

Jesus Christ.  

How the fuck is it "random" or "cherry picking" to quote a series record that includes the entire tenure of our CURRENT head coach?  And it's not like it's a small sample size. It covers 14 seasons, for fuck's sake.

Oh, and Gundy had a winning record against Leach as well.  And that included the first few years when he was rebuilding our program from the garbage Les Miles left behind. Gundy's first and only team to finish with a losing record beat a Mike Leach Texas Tech team. So there's that.

To cite Gundy’s winning record against Leach is either a bit reckless or disingenuous. They played each other 3 times in Stillwater, all Poke wins. They played twice in Lubbock- both Tech wins. Those guys basically fought to a draw. The last game in Stillwater was a 7-point affair. The latter one in Lubbock was a bloodbath. The point about the timing and not cherry picking is valid.

"Reckless or disingenuous?" Jesus Christ.  I wasn't the one who brought that up. I was citing Gundy's record against Tech over his entire 14 seasons as head coach at OSU, which is a pretty relevant and exhaustive look at how the current state of the OSU program has fared against Texas Tech. 

Someone else mentioned "well he only faced Leach a few times..." or whatever, so I brought up his record against Leach.  And he had a winning record.

Yeah Gundy had one more home game against Leach, but so what?  One of those three was his first season as coach when we were TERRIBLE.  We were 4-7 that year (Gundy's only losing season) primarily because he kicked like 12 guys off the team before the season started. That shitty-ass team beat a Mike Leach Tech team and it was literally our only conference win that year.

Bottom line is that OSU has completely dominated Tech with Gundy as coach, as demonstrated by his 11-3 record against them.

I think we agree more than we disagree about Gundy versus Tech. PM sent.

I don't know how many people look at the other board so I'll put this here too: if anyone wants to go to the game in Stillwater later this month I've got 7 tickets I'm trying to sell for under face value. PM me

 

Oh, and fuck Gundy for that bitch ass censorship.

Yeah, I'd say our chances of making a bowl are around 10%.

I know we're sick of playing like shit, but it's higher than that realistically.  I'd say 20% chance of upsetting WVU at home, and 50-50 game at TCU.  They are horrible and their home crowd is nothing special.  Zero chance of upsetting OU, but still a decent shot at a bowl game.  I wouldn't put any money on it though.

Did they change the rule and 5 win teams are now eligible for bowl games?

I don't know how iron clad this measure is, but the NCAA/D-1 has allowed teams with only 5 wins into post season bowl games recently...

I admire your optimism. Also, it’s pathetic that this is what qualifies as optimism for OSU fans now.

Anyone planning on watching Bedlam?

If you can beat us you can beat TCU, their offense is barely functional.

Based on that principle we should have also beaten K-State and Baylor easily, but this is what this team is... we just can't get out of our own way most of the time. 

We are fully capable of beating West Virginia at home and TCU on the road.  Will we?  Who the fuck knows. Texas just happened to be one of two games that we played relatively clean (the other being Boise).  So if that team shows up for some reason, then yeah.... we can beat both WVU at home AND TCU on the road.

But that team hasn't shown up for most of the season.  The one that misses short field goals, gets punts blocked and has ~120 yards or so in penalties is the one that shows up more often than not.  That team won't beat WVU and will need help to beat TCU.

Will not be watching bedlam. My daughter has a dance competition all day Saturday, thank God. 

Never thought I'd say this about dance. Or even think it.

Watching that little fuck Murray run all over the goddam field against us would make me murder someone.
