Fiesta Bowl Game Thread

Mattsite__2__tiny by ccmachine on Comment 464 comments

 Fiesta-logo_medium
This thread will move over to the main page after the Oklahoma basketball game ends. So far the Big 12 South is 0-2 in bowl games and the conference needs Texas to win in order to have a chance for a winning bowl record. Surely the Longhorns won't go down to the Big 10, right? Or do you even care? Can Sooner fans cheer for Texas as long as it is for the greater good of the conference? I have to admit that I'm going to have a hard time with it because I know that they won't be cheering for us on Thursday night!

Here’s how I look at this (coupled with OU’s performance in the NC game)
Both Texas and OU win: Of course they got the wrong team in the NC!
Texas Wins, OU loses: They definitely got the wrong team in the NC game!
OU wins, Texas Loses: USC should have been in the NC game!
Texas Loses, OU loses: the BIG 12 sucks, and should never have a team in the NC championship for YEARS!

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

Why would you revert to using your 2nd string QB?

Boeckmann does not seem to bring much to the situation it seems. And Orakpo is going to get like fifty sacks in this game.

Tressel trying to confuse the whorns

As for we do we care? I don’t really, but my girlfriend does. She can’t stand Smack Clown. She said she had enough of him and ’it’s personal’. You wouldn’t believe how worked up she is.

I'd go back to Cosby until they stop that play

with the sacks, otherwise a total of 11

I have never understood doing the stats that way. But they got 9 of those 11 on one rush, so basically the other 4 attempts earned 2 yards.
