We, supposedly, like to rotate eight or nine DLs during games because of the "scary" offenses the Big 12 schools run (but, which fail to produce national titles...but, that's a different discussion).
The depth is crap now, it seems. And, getting crappier.
Anyway, as that dipf*ck Howard Schnellenberger said about his self-assured success at OU, "The only variable now is time." Yes, Howard. Yes. And, now we wait to see whether one of Leach's proteges can miraculously coach the 2-star signees to something resembling what we had in the early 2000s.
Ditto the DL coach from ever-faltering Michigan. I can't even do this. Getting our butts handed to us three games in a row (and, luckily escaping the Texas disaster due to special teams and defensive touchdown)...it's ridiculous.
But...we deserve this football hell in many ways. You let too much mediocrity into your conference and it will become mediocre. As it stands, the leaders of our conference are three teams who should be in Conference USA, or whatever the hell conference houses Tulsa now.
They haven't risen to our level - we have sunk to theirs.
Embarrassing.
