The emotional swings of message boards depending on last game outcome, particularly if an unexpected result, is always so funny to watch. Many generally expected us to beat OSU easily week 1. Then many thought we were losing 8 games after UTEP. Then after SJSU we were set to dominate Florida and OU and likely not be tested until Georgia. And now we are back to a 4-5 win season. I'm not saying everyone but it's always a wild ride with a good chunk of the posters and I suspect that is the same for everyone's boards. No doubt many OU fans went from wanting to fire Venables to convinced SEC and National Titles are on the near term horizon based solely on a couple of decent (but hardly 'great') home wins against Michigan and Auburn.
Here is where I'm at. I think we have a real and significant OL problem that isn't going to get solved this year. Ithink Manning is likely going to continue to have ups and downs but I feel good about the way he played and competed @ Florida. I think we have enough talent at other positions combined to be in any game on our schedule if we play to potential. I think our staff completely screwed up with our personnel evaluations this offseason, but I don't think they are idiots and expect they are scheming as much as they can to solve for glaring deficiencies (whether it works against a really good OU defense more talented than us across the board up front TBD).
And I have absolutely no idea what will happen Saturday because it's Texas/OU and there is pretty much nothing that will every surprise me about this game because the right bounce and general momentum will swing games wildly either direction moreso than any other game on the schedule.
