   Oh okay. I thought Sheffield went in because Potts had a concussion, which keeps him at #2 on the depth chart. That sucks man. Hopefully he heals for next season.

   Yeah, A&M has looked pretty good. I still can't figure out the blowout loss to Arkansas. I didn't get to watch the game, so I don't know if early turnovers blew the game open for the Razorbacks. But otherwise A&M is putting it together in Sherman's second year. No gimmies in the Big 12 South. That's for sure. The North is another story. They need to be more balanced so that people will respect our championship game.

   Good luck in Stillwater this weekend!

   Bill Snyder can coach circles around Stoops. He made our once-dominant defense look vulnerable in run and pass defense. And K-State is not the same team that barely beat UMass at home.

   That game was like a replay of last year's in Manhattan, but it was 20 points lower for both teams. Still not happy with how we play conservative after getting out to a big lead (21-0) because that approach always lets the other team come back. Then, you try to put it in gear and you're flat. I've always hated the "trying not to lose" strategy. Keep running your offense, whether it's 1st or 2nd string.

   Nebraska and OU are teams that rely on defense and just enough offense to win games. I think it may come down to field goal kicking. Henery v. Stevens. It'll be interesting to see how Landry handles the atmosphere of Lincoln. They aren't fond of the Sooners up there.

   What happened to your star 2nd string QB? I didn't see him playing against KU. First it was Doege. His name doesn't roll off the tongue, and his decision making was horrible. Then Potts came back in.

   Well by wary, I mean it might be close for a while, causing me and at least 100,000 others to be biting our nails.

   Case in point, OU is about to host for Homecoming the top team in the North by record: K State. Do what? The same team that lost to ULL and barely meet UMass? Yeah, that one. I'm wary of this Halloween night game with Bill Snyder on the other sideline, but we can't afford to lose to a team out of the blue like that.

   I can't figure out the Big 12 North this year. K State wakes up, Nebraska loses to ISU at home, and Colorado finally benches the coach's son at QB, and they look competitive.

   Yeah that was a great guess at the score. That KU touchdown was a garbage TD anyway. We were starting to put some backups in.

   Yeah we had a tougher non-conference schedule in a rebuilding year for the offense. We could have done like most of the SEC and UT, and played no one and gotten 4 easy wins, but Stoops likes to have a few tough non-conference games. Some of them don't pan out, like catching Washington and Alabama on a down year, but then some line up. That trip to Cincy is looking pretty scary next year, and it turned out that waiting two years between a home and home with Miami made a huge difference for the look of both teams. We need to win tomorrow, and it would be a bonus if our offense started to find 2nd and 3rd gear.

   Thanks for your Sooner support. Tech's fight song is one of the most challenging I had to learn while in the Pride of Oklahoma in 2002, and I still say you guys need a defensive coordinator and you'll be the best team in the country. There are only a select few coaches that know how to stop the Air Raid attack of Mike Leach.

   The last few games in Stillwater have been shootouts, as I recall. I'm guessing by Karen's comment that you are playing A&M at home this week. Good luck, though you shouldn't need it. I mean, K State killed this team, and you murdered the Wildcats, so you should win easily. But that's why they play the game.

   Yep! I'm going - I always love watching the Aggies get beat down!

   I hope you're right. All I know is that we can't be a one-dimensional offense and succeed. Sure we can pass all day on some teams, but that won't work against teams with real defense. I think we won't allow KU to score more than 14 points, and that OU will win that game, but I'm looking at the season as a whole, and I don't like what I see offensively to do well in the Big 12. And wasn't it you that was talking about that there's only two gimmes left on OU's schedule?

   Also, not sure if you were being sarcastic about losing in Stillwater. I could see it, but I could also see you guys shutting them down like last year.

    Yes you certainly did. Of course now I'll start picking Tech to win road games against ranked opponents, and they'll start losing again.

    I think our offense WAS better than Texas' before the season, but with the loss of Sammy B's safety valve in the red zone and third downs: Jermaine Gresham, Texas has more weapons on the field, and eventually their O-Line was powerful enough to wear down our front 4, and ultimately that's what won the game. Disappointed in our WRs and our O-Line. Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray are very good, and the O-Line can't open up holes for them to get going. Hopefully we can against the porous KU defense this weekend, or it's going to be an Independence Bowl year for OU.

    That was a very impressive win in Lincoln yesterday.

    I wouldn't call Texas clearly inferior to OU. I'd call our defense really good, and our offense just sucks. Texas' defense is also good, but they aren't as good as we made them look. With all the injuries, something is wrong with our conditioning.

    Yeah, it's gonna be a long road to a bowl, but if the Sooners can pull it together like they did in 2005, we'll be okay.

    Eh...somewhat back. I honestly just don't have the time I used to for writing and commenting on here.

    EVerything's been really good. Just been busy with school and football and college...all that crazy stuff. How about you?
