MD> Agree with Mike.  Please remember that despite the fact if you are a "half empty" or a "half full" kind of a person, this team could just as easily be 3-5 instead of 5-3 if it were not for two
MD> plays. (Yes I recognize we could also be 6-2 if it were not for one other play).  The last two games have been played as if they were a losing team and this level of play is significantly sub par
MD> even considering whatever you believe of the talent level.

Actually, had we completed a long pass to Swift down the middle of the
field late in the game, we could be 2 plays away from 7-1.

This team is playing as good as I expected them too, maybe even a
little better.  They are CLEARLY better than last year's team.  The
offense is not great, but it is definately pretty good lately.

I would even go as far as to say this is the first time in the BC era
that I've felt good about the overall direction of the program.  I
also feel that this team is getting better as the season goes on, not
worse.

OU is a team that isn't great, but they lost to 3 teams with a
combined record of 24-1. Not to mention those teams are ranked 2, 7,
and 20 for a combined rank of 9.66.

Cut them some slack.  Geesh.
