  1. Yes, we are overachieving relative to what we were expecting going into this season.  The key difference has been the emergence of Ehlinger as the best Texas quarterback since Colt.  Try to picture for a moment what our record would be this season if we still had Heard/Swoopes playing qb.

    Sure?  Wouldn't WVU and us both have 3 conference losses and WVU wins the head to head?

    Isu would also have 3 losses. There would be a 3way tie that we would win, because we would have the best record against the next highest ranked team (ou).

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but we need to win out and Pokes to win today as that’s our only shot at getting to the B12 Championship Game right?

    We don’t need okst to win today, but it would sure help.

    I'm acting like a little bitch? You're trying to tell me that our season rides on beating Iowa State.

    If we hadn't stumbled on our own dicks against OSU or WVU this game would be an afterthought. 

    Take a step back and look at the big picture champ. 

    Considering that I view "playing for the conference title" as "our season," then yes.  Our season does fucking ride on beating Iowa State.  Why is that such an undesirable truth for you?

    And you're right, it would be an afterthought had we not tripped on our dicks earlier this year.  But we did.  We can make up for it by winning out.

    You're a moron. We needed to beat WVU to control our own destiny. That was the biggest game on the schedule this season outside of OU and it isn't close.

    Even if we beat ISU there is still a good chance we dont play in the CCG. 

    This isn't aggy. It's not about hypotheticals.

    Dude, I generally liked you as a poster before now, but you're acting like a little bitch.  Did you not read my post at all?  I said this point relative to other points in the season is much more significant than any other point in the season.  We can't go back to the WVU game-- we lost that game.  But we can still get to the CCG by beating ISU on Saturday.  We have a more-likely-than-not chance of making the CCG with a win.  That is not hypothetical at all.  You are the apparent moron here.

    Um. No? Did you not watch us play OU and WVU?

    I know it's weird saying that the ISU game is bigger than the OU or WVU games, but at this point in the season and with what's on the line, it's true, relative to where we were and what was on the line in those other 2 games.  

    Let's look at what was on the line had we lost to OU:  At that point, we would have been 2-1 in conference play and still in complete control of our own destiny insofar as reaching the conference championship game.

    Now let's look at what was on the line when we actually lost to WVU:  We fell to 3-2 in conference play.  Winning that game would've been amazing for our conference crown chances, as it would have all but assured us an appearance in the CCG.  But at that point, with OU and WVU both already having a conference loss and still having yet to play each other, our hopes of appearing in the CCG remained very much alive, and still do.

    Now, what's on the line with the game this weekend?  The OP sums it up nicely.  If we win, we have a very good shot of playing for the conference title.  If we lose, we are eliminated.  Plain and simple.  This is the biggest game of our season to date.

  7. Yes, we absolutely have to win this game.  It's the biggest game of our season to date, by far.  Everything you said in your post is true.

    Fortunately, Herman knows this and our players know this.  I am confident that we are going to leave it all on the field and play a great game.  Here's to hoping that will be enough to win.
