Let them talk, the only reason they are talking is because it bothers them so much to lose, because even though they won't admit it, it is the biggest game on their schedule too (from a fan perspective).Quote:

It's probably because its my best shot to witness a road win in person since Kinnick comeback...Quote:

It's a really easy drive though, going through Dallas at that time of night will be perfect. Anything after 7 should be fine. Or before about 4 PM at that latest, preferably 3 PM.Quote:

Best road win I saw was the 2005 game at Texas A&M (the Blythe game)... it was one of the most glorious things to be present for!
I got the introduction then too... it's just funny. Like I said about the hand signals though, they all have them:Quote:

Texas Hook 'Em
OSU has a different Guns Up, they use index and middle finger for the barrel of the gun.
BU's Sic 'Em
I have no idea if OU has one or not... haven't been there yet.
1) USC
2) Oklahoma
3) Neb
4) Iowa
5) Mizz
6) KU
Last i checked, it's better to beat conference opponents to get to better bowls. beating iowa this year isn't going to be one of those "good" wins that help the bowl selection staff choose us. However, that is one fans opinion to another.Quote:

That may be one of the most thoughtful, reasoned, even-toned arguments on that topic that I've ever read. Good job outta you.Quote:

1.) KU
2.) NU
3.) Iowa
4.) MU
5.) TAMU
6.) SDSU
7.) UNLV
8.) Kansas St.
9.) Kent St.
10.) Baylor
11.) Colorado
12.) Ok. State
That was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I'm excited for ALL of the games!!!
Obviously its gotta be SDSU cause its less that 3 weeks away!!
beat "suey pig" and the kansas jayhawks .jayhawkers are about as arrogant as the fuskers
Easily Nebraska. It has been a long time since we've won a meaningful big 12 north game.
