The Importance of the Iowa State Game
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.

The Importance of the Iowa State Game
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.

The Importance of the Iowa State Game
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.

Maybe THEY'LL win the coin flip!

The Importance of the Iowa State Game
This is a shitty entitlement attitude. Iowa State is very good. This is the same team that punked OU in Norman last season, pants'ed OKSt in Stillwater, and crushed WVU in Ames. This is a game that informed fans would worry about even if we were all the way "back."

The Importance of the Iowa State Game
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.

New Bowl Game Coming in 2020: Myrtle Beach Bowl
How are both of these statements true? Are you watching recordings of old games or something?

NCAA Week 12
Yeah, I like Buffalo ML myself. Their QB is really good and they have been destroying teams. But we'll see. MAC has been screwy lately. I didn't think Miami OH was going to punk Ohio either.

ISU @ Texas 7PM on LHN
This game is going to be awesome. Stadium atmosphere should be as good as the WVU game, considering what's potentially on the line here (a ccg berth).

LOL that video. Looks like a poorly produced kids game show from the 80s that would air today at 3am on NICKGAS, if that cable channel still existed.

Tech has one of the best offenses in the country. The turnovers we forced were the difference.

Big 12 Championship Game Scenarios
Hold onto your panties, no need for the sass. There would be no 3way tie in that scenario. Ou would have losses to both us and Wvu, thus making head to head relevant. We would advance to the ccg along with wvu.

Big 12 Championship Game Scenarios
Man some people aren’t good at reading the tie breaking rules. In the above scenario, if ou wins, WVU would have 3 conference losses and we would have only 2. We would advance to play ou in the ccg. If wvu wins, ou would have 2 conference losses and so would we. But we beat them head to head for the tie breaker. We would advance to play wvu in the ccg.

I know it’s probably not going to happen, but our offense will be scary good next season if we can return LJH and CJ.
