Is this true? Or is this a ha-ha?

Nice to see that I am not the only one here At The Home, that subscribes.

I think you pretty much nailed it! I might also add, that if Randall Stephenson, as the leader of Sooner Nation, provides the same leadership, vision, and financial acumen that he demonstrated at ATT.... then OU will be a shell of itself in 5 years. Start the clock!

You dated yourself!

That was a strange game. First half and Second half were completely different animals. The first half shows what happens when a team loses focus. The second half shows the opposite. I am encouraged that the Horns can play eyeball to eyeball with good teams. Now they just need to create the discipline to do it night in, night out......for the entire game. Its been a long time since i was excited about men's basketball. But darn, these guys can play when they focus.

You earn crowds. Play like a champion every game. Leave your guts on the floor. And, folks will flock to the stadium. You earn what you receive.

Or, that is a true statement if you are a sure fire first rounder.......think Banks.................. If you are a 5-6-7 rounder or camp player, maybe a 'kick-ass' bowl game would improve your stock.

Who is jackson?

Sorry, I am not into conspiracy theories. Fact: if we had gotten rid of our training wheels a little earlier none of this would even matter. Right now my focus is on 2 big bad 3 techniques, a road grader guard and a number 1 receiver that can actually catch the ball..............maybe that isnt Fact............ it is probably a Santa item

Whoa on Yurachek! Wait a moment. I am not giving him a pass. HOWEVER: The decisions were made by the "committee". Yurachek is just the voice. Let's face it. If Texas played everyone in the playoffs, they would be favored against all but 3 teams.....the top 3. ND would be favored only vs. the current bottom 2-3 teams. Miami is probably a split right down the middle. Frankly, allowing teams from non-power-four conferences in the tournament, is what screwed the thing up. Now that ND has been "offended" maybe there will be enough outcry to have a playoff with the 12 best teams (16 team with no byes like the other levels is a better format).

I am assuming that this comment is tong-n-cheek? If not, my thoughts are ............................. stopping now - don't need a banishment email from Bobby

Why would you "hope" that he, or anyone else would fail?

I'm with you.

Orlando is a good trip for the boys, band and whole entourage. As for Michigan, they don't excite me at all. The best game would be Horns v Canes...............of course i would rather play someone we can beat bad and play a lot of guys.

I zapped the record information from Marathon's analysis for brevity. I think he really hit the nail on the head....... the "committee" looks at won/loss records. That is the flaw. College football is NOT the NFL! The differences between the best and worst teams in the NFL are small. Won/Loss records are a valid analysis. This is not true in college ball. There is a huge difference between the top 20 schools and the bottom 70 schools. The Committee and other pundits that use only W/L which is insane. Finally, what makes the football tournament so frustrating is that it doesn't even follow the same logic format as all of the other NCAA sports. I am sure Jeff or someone can elaborate, but the final tournament rankings do not value wins against cream puffs and assign a + value to games with the highest ranked teams. Basically, the people that control football are idiots. Ultimately these guys will force a 48 school (or less) national league upon us. This will kill the Texas States, James Madisons, etc. I need to stop now.
