    Oklahoma State has a good offense but there defense still stinks. They will be 4th or 5th in Big 12 South once again.

    We could have and should have been 9-4.

    We were up 21 points on Texas w/ a quarter to go. We were up on Texas A&M until the very last few minutes, if it weren't for a questionable decision by our coach.

    We also played on the #3 rated schedule in the nation. Thats a fact.


    So if it weren't for a horrible defense and an unfavorable schedule, we would've gone on to a January bowl. Thats a fact.

    But that's like us saying if Art Briles didn't bail weeks before the Texas Bowl, UH would of won its first bowl game in nearly two decades

    It is what it is...but I'm so glad Briles left, for the long run

    Hey, I know its an "could'a would'a should'a," but still, I'm saying that our 7-6 record last year didn't match up with our talent level (on offense), and our defense is our only weak link. If we can add some more talent to our secondary and front four, we would DOMINATE.

    GG guys and best of wishes to your team and head coach (who I just learned recently is originally from Oklahoma).

    You guys are sure to finish in the top 3 in Conference USA (not mocking you by any means). But watch out for Tulsa (*cough* *cough* where I'm going to school right now *cough*) because they also have a high-octaned offense.

    They didn't go for 2. Juist snapped the ball over the holder and Bell fell on it. Happened like twice. Coogs have a special teams coach now so I'm sure the bad snaps and punt return for TD will be talked about this week.

    I think OSU fans should be humble. They're not as good as they think. They'll finish ahead of Baylor and A&M in the South.

    I think UH fans should be worried. The # 1 ranked defense last year in C-USA and returning 8 starters got absolutely shredded and disappeared in the 2nd half. While they won't face a team with better individual talent than OSU, they will face better teams...including East Carolina in a few weeks.

    UofH had the #1 ranked defense in Conf USA last year? If that's the case, why does Briles catch so much grief for not caring about defense? Did his team achieve that ranking by default, or was his defense in fact not the league's top ranked unit?

    ...oh trust me when I say we were humbled last year by our defense.........we know we can't be a contender in the Big 12 South until our defense improves.
