Your telling me AD or AP wasnt better in half a season than either one of those spot fillers?

[AlbqSooner]

Most every talking head and media outlet comes right out and says OU got jobbed at Oregon. ESPN refers to it as a loss with debatable calls. Heh.

[arcman46]

Again these stats don't include our "loss" to Oregon which we really won and the controversial call that cost Baylor a win at either Wazzu or UW. Looking at our bowl schedule, I can easily see the Big 12 going at least 6-2 if not 8-0.

Tim Griffin kisses the arse of ESPN, USC, ND & Ohio State - and disses the Big 12 - for the San Antonio Express-News.

Fixed it for ya. ;)

This happens every single bowl season.
1) The former jocks on ESPN insult our conference
2) The majority of the Big XII teams win their bowl games
3) They change the subject

I read that story the other day. ESPN had another article 2 days prior about the Pac 10. It made much of the same statement about the Pac 10 for supporting arguments that it was strong as statements it made about the Big 12 as to why its weak. It's slow right now... they got to say something to justify their paycheck.

I also see the Big 12 doing well in bowl games this year.

[OUmillenium]

A lot of the talking arses were saying the Big12 was down last year except for UT and the conference did quite well in the bowl season overall. Will we do it again? Hopefully yes...except for Oklahoma Stink.

RB -- Jon Cornish, Kansas

Agree 1000% with Fraggle. That's a joke.

Both Peterson and Patrick are better than those guys.

[Easting]

Oklahoma dropped out of the national title picture after a loss in its conference opener against Texas and a heartbreaking nonconference loss at Oregon, which was decided on two debatable replay calls.

I never even thought of those calls as debatable. They were clearly wrong. Right Gordo?

Yeah, I'm still sore.
