What recruit wants to come play for a program that never makes it on TV and is rarely competitive against the big boys? Getting on TV is what gets these guys noticed and gets them to the next level.
The frightening thing is that I heard rumors from three different people that the Oklahoma game next week is going to be on the 8:something (8:25? 8:45?) ESPN national slot next week, since there's nothing else happening in the Big Twelve. Getting our heads handed to us on a crimson platter is going to be bad enough, but doing so on national television would be terrible for a program that's already drowning in negatives.
For once, I really, really hope we're NOT on TV...
