As an OU fan I think Casey Thompson got a raw deal at Texas. His performance was marred by a very bad Texas OL. He would have looked a lot better with a better OL. The same thing happened to Hudson Card the other Texas QB. Card won the starting QB position at the start of the year but the Texas...
Would it matter which teams he beats to get to 6 victories? Did he or the AD schedule Fordham because that would be a guarantee victory? Buffalo should be an automatic win also. That would leave only 4 victories needed to save his job.
"lap dog"? OU has 14 conference titles.....Texas has 3. I think you need to take a different approach to your argument. The one you are using doesn't hold water.
Thats true that OU will not have the W/L record that they would have if they stayed in the Big 12. Most all OU fans realize that. But if OU wants to increase the viewing pleasure of their fans they needed to improve the schedule of teams coming into Norman. OU has proven that they are the king...
The vote I was speaking about was about 25 years ago or so and it was not a vote for football or sports in general but a vote on educational standards. Most educators are concerned about academic standards....not how a student will perform on the football field. And the vote was 11-1. So yes...
NU fans act like every institution in the Big 12 was against NU because they were cuddling up to UT. Did you ever think that these schools were voting for what they think was best for their own school? What good would it be to vote with UT if it was against the best interest of their own school...
What do you mean "how they treated NU"? Can you give specifics and not just a broad statement. The only thing I can remember is there was an 11-1 vote in favor of eliminating partial qualifiers. I can see that because these are educational institutions with educators voting....not coaches.
The TV networks are heavily involved here. They want the teams playing in the SEC as quickly as possible. Multiple reports of this. The reports are saying that the networks could be picking up the penalty fees from early departure so OU and TX could be playing either 2022 or 2023....2023 seems...
Do you think that Ohio State had anything to do with Gameday coming to Lincoln? The NU team this year certainly wouldn't attract Gameday. I think you need another QB other than #2. I read during the summer that your fans thought you had a Heisman candidate at QB.....did he get hurt? I doubt that...
