That was a nice read. OSU is certainly staying in the nation's mind.

I was traveling yesterday and it sure was nice to pick up that "paper of travelers" and have a nice story to read about our Pokes!!

A wonderful beginning to the day.

Cali...I SURE hope we of the Cowboy Nation are all smiles
come Sunday Morn!!!!

Bottom line, I guess we are all getting ready to see if
many of 'us' have been overly critical of the BOYS...
I too have been there,done that. We are now going
to know if we are ONE of the Big Dogs that we have
all felt have been the OTHER teams/guys we've played
in the past. God I hope we are THERE!!

well... I agree; but it certainly would not be the biggest Cowboy letdown of my life, that is still the 1988 Nebraska game, where I had very high expectations and we opened flat and fell behind by 28 with the game barely one quarter over.

I have hope for this team, but I do not enter this game with the same lofty expectations as that one game that season...

Come on CC, we all know better. Age does not do that to you. At least it does not for me. This game is much more important looking back.

.... I didn't say it wasn't important, or that I don't have high expectations and hopes on the outcome.... I simply said I had more expectation then... I expected us to beat the Bugeaters in 1988...

I think we can beat the Horns today, but frankly I'm not expecting an OSU victory as I was then.

You obviously had not prepared yourself for defeat back then.

In this game you have and I have not.

Ha... I'm never prepared for a Poke loss...

this one could rival it if they jump out to a 28 point lead, which we don't expect, or if they overcome another huge lead by OSU, which would be unprecedented.
