Thank God the conference will allow the season to go ahead and be played.
There are times when the Cowboys come into a season with hightened expectations only to slip early. This is not one of them fortunately.

It seems the Cowboys are much better at sneaking up on opponents than coming into a game as the favorite.
It’s going to be a long time before OSU can finally get over the sportswriter’s bias (justifiably brought on by decades of inconsistent Cowboy football).

What’s really sad is that generally the sportswriters have a high percentage of correctly predicting the conference standings at the end of the year.

Gundy is going to have to pull some rabbits out of his hat…or somewhere for him to show enough improvement to keep his job (I fear). There’s just too much money and momentum going into OSU sports for mediocrity to continue.

It happened with Sean Sutton. That was AD Mike Holder’s call to all Cowboy coaches, especially Mike Gundy.

Don’t get me wrong — most Cowboy fans (including OSU’s largest fan, donor and national energy leader) really want Mike Gundy to succeed. BUT, big bosses don’t put up with losses.

OSU has the money, facilities and energy to attract (and hold this time) a big name coach. Mike Gundy knows that. Gundy knows a contract extension is just as good as a Final Notice.

Say what you will, sportswriters, but I predict OSU will have a much better defense this year and will NOT blow late leads like it has in the past.

OSU will be the Big 12 Cinderella story this year. We may not win the conference, but I predict a third, possibly a second place finish in the South.
