THE BIG 12 RACE AIN’T OVER

UCF can play the part of a spoiler with a win of Oklahoma State:


THE BIG 12 RACE AIN’T OVER​

In a monumental Week 10, we saw Texas and Oklahoma State pick up massive wins over Kansas State and Oklahoma to separate themselves as the top two teams in the Big 12 standings heading into Week 11. Texas held off K-State after the Wildcats stormed back from a 27-7 deficit to send the game to overtime, with the Longhorns holding on a 4th-and-goal try when Chris Klieman opted to go for the win.

Oklahoma State took down Oklahoma in the final Bedlam matchup in Big 12 history with a terrific game from Alan Bowman. The Sooners had several chances to take control of the game, but made several critical errors throughout the game and the Cowboys were able to capitalize.

So, with both UT and OSU sitting at 5-1 in league play, and with manageable schedules ahead of them, this race is starting to wind down, right?

Not so fast my friend. With what we’ve seen from the Big 12 in past years and to this point in the 2023 season, I’d say nothing is set in stone until the two teams get off the bus in Arlington. There’s not a dominant team in this league, and that means that for the next three weeks, there’s a chance that one of the two teams in the lead could fall. If that happens, watch out.

Five teams are sitting at 4-2 in Big 12 play, and with one loss from either Oklahoma State or Texas, a two-horse race becomes a seven-team race once again. Buckle up guys, it’s going to be a fun finish!

I know we still need to win another game but now that we are at 5 wins it seems like a good chance that we win one of the next two. Who would you want to see in a bowl game most?

Miami- Haven't played them in a while. There has been lots of back and forth between fanbases the last few years. Good chance at beating them this year which would give us bragging rights similar to the Gasparilla Bowl vs UF a couple years ago. Matt Lee Bowl.

usf- Obviously the whole rivalry we have with them and we get to continue playing them for one more year. It's their first bowl game in a while and their fan(s) would be excited for it. You run the risk of losing to them and then we have to sit on that for a long time until we eventually play them again down the road. Would be fun to embarrass them to end their best season in quite some time.

Tennessee- We get to see our old friends in Heupel and Danny White. I think we could match up well against them. SEC team and we have never played them before.

Other- Any one else you would want to see us play?

Simple game. Call the first score by your Knights. Winner gets name on the Wall of Fame and a pair of Coozies.​

Rules: you MUST call both the QB and receiver for passing scores along with the yardage. For all other scores RB, kickers, defenders, punt/ kick off returns you must call the yardage and the name of the player. Closest to the yardage wins. Price is right rules: If two people are exact yardage apart, closest without going over wins. You can only play once per account.

Congratulations to @Bondzai with the perfect call of RJ Harvey from 4yds. If you want the Coozies, please DM me your address.

This week I’m calling JRP to Hudson from 16yds.

It just doesn't feel like Gus is the "big time coach" that we thought we got, does it?

This team has too many brain farts to beat middle of the road B12 teams. It's just a fact. And it has resulted in a 2-6 Conference Record. That follows a 1-3 finish to last season. So, we're 3-9 in our last 12 games against Conference or Bowl opponents. And we've learned something about Gus coached teams. When you consistently come to work unprepared to play an entire game and then shoot yourself in the foot it's unacceptable. There's just too many unforced errors/issues. And not fixing it is on the HC. Donors and Fans have to view these results as unacceptable. Those who insisted that Gus's extension was a good move, please put that thought away, deep in your back pocket. If Arkansas hires him, we'd be lucky because we're going to be rebuilding next year anyway (all skill players on the O are graduating/leaving and our lack of talent on the D speaks for itself). Right now, it's best to get some new blood into the program at the top.
