       I didn't know I was posting negatively.  I guess like any post 
you could take what I posted and interpret it any way you want.  You 
assumed I was being negative toward the Big 12.  The reason I didn't 
mention the teams that won is I didn't feel like it because that isn't 
the point I was trying to make.  You, for instance, took my post and 
majored on what I didn't say and not what I said. 



     Here is what I was attempting to say.  Of the the two losses Big 12 
teams have experienced both Oklahoma State and A&M didn't just lose.  
They got smoked.  That is all I was trying to say.  No more or no less. 
The reporting that both were badly beaten isn't negative slant.  It is 
fact.  I wasn't implying anything.  Yes, three Big 12 teams won and 
Texas, at this point, is tied with Michigan at the half 14-14.  I hope 
they make it the fourth Big 12 team to win and Oklahoma caps it all with 
a National Championship.
