The Mighty Have Fallen So Far, Just Think How Fortunate Oklahoma State is

September 11, 2022

I had wrapped up my reviews on offense and defense and surveyed and written about Oklahoma State making their way back into the top 10 in the major college polls. I was on my way to get in a workout at the Edmond YMCA at Mitch Park and I was listening to Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts news conference. The former Husker defender was detailing the firing of Nebraska head football coach Scott Frost.

yeah, those Bugeater teams were back when there weren't any scholarship limits.

Once the stopped teams like the Huskers and the Goons from recruiting kids just to keep them on the sideline away from other teams, then things started to balance out somewhat.

Then when the SW conference merged and they created that stupid North/South conference alignment, then Nebraska lost their access to the Texas recruits with some of the kids that might have left the SW conf for the B8, now staying closer to home at Collie Station, and Wacko.

Once they left the B12 then their access to Texas recruits dried up completely. IMO, it has less to do with the coaches and more to do with allowing the kids to play occasionally in front of their family and friends, which has helped OSU tremendously.

Which is why I will always oppose a N/S conf alignment split. Every team in the conf needs to have comparable access to playing frequently in Texas (at one of those schools, TCU, TT, BU, UH)

Which is also why I suggest some rotation that gets every conf team to Orlando on a fairly regular basis.

Oklahoma State fortunate? Big time.

If ASU could have hung on to two easy picks, and not blown the coverage on the flea flicker, we'd probably be looking at a loss.

LOL...

"if ASU had played better, they could have won"!

BRILLIANT.

you could write the same thing about almost every OSU game.... SMH

We kicked their freaking butts, damn near shut them out completely. They had 13 total first downs to our 30.

We doubled their score.

Why in the heck do you feel the need to try and dump a bucket of ice on a dominate victory?

if the game had been different, then the score might have been different.

LOL

If Sanders hadn't missed seeing a linebacker cutting across and hadn't thrown an interception....and if Johnson would have caught 3 or 4 more perfectly placed passes from SS, we might have beaten them by 30ish.

What, Sanders wasn't fortunate to wind up with only 1 pick and not 3?

You think Rattay, Dunn and Gundy are ignoring the bad throws/decisions?

Not fortunate that ASU had 3 safeties covering Johnson and nobody covering Greene on the flea-flicker?

You guys can ignore potential game saving busts all you want and figure we're ready to beat Alabama. I'll stay wary of our ability to continue to win with an occasional shaky performance by the QB.

If we only had two more inches in Dallas last December in the 4th quarter of the championship game (That's not what she said by the way) LOL!
