You’re telling everyone to stay out of La La Land and yet turn around and speculate “what would have happened” in this alternate reality you have created. And based on what, exactly? One half of football against one of the worst teams in the league? Wow. Maybe you should change your posting name to “Knee Jerk Reaction Sam.”

By the way, Gundy’s choice of QB or play calling did not cost us the entire 2005 season. It was his first season as a head coach with multiple players kicked off the team and a brand new offensive scheme. The OCC losses, bowl losses, and Bedlam losses prior to this last season had everything to do with a poor defense and nothing to do with OSU’s offense. So how did Gundy remedy that? By hiring Bill Young who instantly turned OSU’s defense around. But I’m sure you’ll find a way to take credit away from Gundy on that decision as well, right? Because heaven knows Gundy couldn’t possibly have made a great decision and thus throw a wrench in your utterly flawless argument, right?

But by all means, don’t let common sense and rational thought get in the way of your dense criticisms. Keep blasting away with all that knowledge you have racked up while sitting in your recliner and eating the Doritos crumbs from your shirt each Saturday afternoon.

or three or four or five or six or seven or…

AND cost the entire 2005 season, a loss to Baylor, and last place…

AND cost 2-2 OCC starts with a losses to the likes of Troy…

AND cost BCS Bowl invites, Bedlam wins, and Bowl Trophies.

You and I are obviously on completely different levels as far as being oSu fans go if frivolously throwing away our best shot ever at a BCS Bowl for the sake of a fare-haired favorite son’s feelings, foregoing the opportunity for a Bedlam win for that same favorite son, and stubbornly giving up a realistic chance to bring home a Cotton Bowl Trophy for the coaches favorite are such small things to you that you so readily “get over” them.

Your theory sounds great for grade school where everyone gets a gold star, there are no winner’s and losers, winning doesn’t matter, and you have the luxury of pretending its all a PC La-la Land World.

This is big league Division one FBS, BCS, Big XII College Football we’re talking not Pop Warner.

Winning is not what everyone see’s when a coach makes little league personnel decisions to reward bubbles for the coach instead of based upon putting the players that give the team the best chance to win the game on the field against the likes of U of Zero.

BTW, I can’t count the number of time Robinson and others were withheld from practices under the guise of “They don’t need to practice. We already know what they can do.” Just how is that consistent with your, Reward Hard Work In Practice Theory?

In the big leagues, Scoreboard speaks much louder than PC BS.

It’s easy to sit back and think you know what you’re talking about. But when it comes to who performs and how, it’s about more than having a cannon for an arm. Always easy to say “lets go with the second string guy.”

But you don’t what who the leader on the field was. Nor do you know how prepared the 2 and 3rd stringers were. Obviously Weeden admitted he didn’t take practice seriously.

I was always taught you play the way you practice. That holds true for just about every sport…….

Get over it. Yes pulling a Senior who has taken the team to new heights is difficult and players have played hurt and won. Josh Heupel beat Kansas State in 2000 for the Bug 12 Championship with a bum shoulder. Just think if Stoops would have pulled him out? His leadership was far more valuable at the time…..
