    Spread Vs. OSU

    I'll start with the prediction, which is what I think will happen based on a few assumptions. Obviously, if my assumptions fail to pan out, the result could be different. OSU 38 ISU 20 The assumptions: 1: ISU's DC doesn't do what OSU's last three opponents have done, which is to stack the...

    Just joking back, as I enjoy the banter. Reread what I wrote as if I had a smile on my face. I never get angry on message boards. However, I can be quite the smart @ss. :twitcy:

    Spread Vs. OSU

    And thus, because you have never heard of a player, they must not be good, because they don't exist inside your mind? That's the logical equivalent of telling a judge, "I'm sorry your honor, but I've never heard of the law that I've been indicted for, and as such, can not be held liable for any...

    Spread Vs. OSU

    Possible, I suppose, but not likely. Since 2006 (Gundy's 2nd year as HC), OSU's record at home against non-rated teams is 37-1, with the only loss coming on Sept. 12, 2009 to a Houston Cougar team that was coached by Kevin Sumlin (HC) and Dana Holgorsen (OC). That game was a classic trap, the...

    All ratings cited are from Scout. Tyreek Hill As far as not having personally heard of a player, that's just a tad solipsistic, don't you think?

    Spread Vs. OSU

    You're citing the stats that measure only games against Big 12 competition. Since nobody's played more than one game, you are correct, because we've only played Texas Tech. The skewed stats make us the worst in the Big 12. But Football Outsiders reviews all games played and weighs for...

    Spread Vs. OSU

    Where do you get that? Because Baylor's have gotten pre-season hype and OSU's didn't? Because they've feasted on poor defenses, while we've played against Football Outsiders' #17 and #12 defenses? Since the Florida State game, defensive coordinators have been stacking the box with 8-9 players...

    Spread Vs. OSU

    Our defense isn't limping. They were gassed after playing 91 snaps. Sr Safety Larry Stephens left the game in the 2nd quarter with a tweaked ankle, but returned after the half to play effectively. He has ten days to recuperate. Jr. CB Kevin Peterson left the game late in the fourth quarter...

    No...that's why we're more than a two touchdown favorite. You can now throw in, for all those saying Daxx Garmanis not a good QB... OSU football: Daxx Garman named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week

    Spread Vs. OSU

    You put up 20 points in your only road game this year. OSU has scored 20 points or more in each of the last 57 games they've played. The defending national champions' offense only put up 30 on our defense. The Cowboys have scored 40 points or more in each of their three home games this...

    "Faux outrage?" I let my wife read your remark and I would get bumped by your mods if I quoted what she said about it. I'm not blowing it out of proportion. You're minimizing it to validate your vainglorious attitude that allows you to believe you had a victory that was unsullied by tragedy...

    Seriously? Is that what you're trying to convince yourself of? Zero impact? So the coaches who are on the road with their team, trying to focus the players on the game at hand, wouldn't be shaken up by the death of a friend and colleague? Remember, this wasn't just ONE coach losing a friend...

    Your response is to drag out a textbook example of tabloid journalism? Or, when the NCAA gives OSU a clean bill of health, will you just postulate that Pickens bought them off? :SLEEP:

    I never said THE factor. It is a significant factor, as our recruiting has been improving since the change. Gundy is frequently quoted as saying that every positive change (record on the field, championships, rankings and yes...uniforms, gets our brand known nationally, gets him in the door with...

    Based on what? You have to remember that recruiting services grade players on how they fit a template for the professional game, and college programs that play a professional style of play. Oregon, OSU, Baylor et. al., play a style of offense that doesn't require big lumbering players. As such...

    Hey...as a rival fan in the same conference, I'm perfectly content with you sticking with those uniforms. Just don't trash on those of us that are taking a pro-active approach to radically making our sports programs more successful. We made a commitment to change our image in 2005 when Mike...
