A message to Oklahoma State

Your Cowboys beat my Longhorns on Saturday. I can live with that. I can live with the fact that, despite Mack going 12-0 against OSU in his first 12 years, y'all somehow managed to beat my Horns in back to back years in f*ckin Austin, TX. The hallowed grounds of former sooner Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. I don't know how OSU was unlucky enough to be the team picked to play Texas in Austin again this year after the Big XII lost two teams (you'd think T. Boone could've taken care of that with a few phone calls), but the Pokes didn't complain. Y'all took it like men, and took care of business in 2010 and 2011. Again, I can live with that. Longhorn Nation can live with that. But I'll tell ya something, Pokes, here's what we can't live with:

We can't live with you Oklahoma State-ing your season. Now, if Texas doesn't win the Big XII, ok. We've tasted Big XII glory only three times, after all. That ugly, all-glass trophy shows up in Austin about as many times as we get a little rain down here - few and much too far between (ironically we somehow dominate in swimming & diving every year? Hook 'Em!). What we absolutely cannot live with this year is some dumbass, crimson-wearing recruit from the Metroplex hoisting an 8th (F*CKING EIGHTH!) trophy over his head in early December. You know that kinda guy. He was someone who either 1) inexplicably got overlooked by Mack Brown, 2) couldn't academically qualify to wear burnt orange and so was welcomed with open arms in Norman, or 3) had just too much badass intensity for the soft, corporate culture we love to hate down here in the Live Music Capital of the World.

Please, don't blow it this year OSU. It's all set-up, nice and pretty. Coast until Bedlam. Hell, we'll even spot you a mental breakdown that results in a home loss to Bill Snyder or on the road in Lubbock. But one loss is all you get. Beat OU, you get the tie-breaker, Big XII Champs. It's been 15 years in the making. Don't Oklahoma State yourself. Not this year. Good game this Saturday.

Um...

Being a life-long OSU fan, this season has been fantastic thus far. Two years in a row in Austin rocked my fucking face off. However, being a life-long OSU fan, I have earned the right to refer to OSU’s annual let down as “normal”.

To call it “Oklahoma State-ing” is just showing your true burnt orange asshole colors.

I do have one question for you: How did your bowl game go last year? Oh yeah, you didn’t fucking make one. Good luck with that this year (fuck off).

Haha, I rather enjoyed the "Oklahoma State-ing" comment.

Trust me, UTgrad’08. The OSU fans know exactly what you’re talking about. There’s always an underlying feeling that something is bound to go wrong with our Pokes. I can only hope that this is what we’ve become accustomed to in past years and not necessarily written in stone.

We all now know it as Squinky. Just use the term.

For what it's worth...

OU is beatable. AND NOT JUST BY US.

OU plays up for two games every year guaranteed. OSU and TEXAS. Then they play down to the FSU’s and KU’s of the world and look just average and loose their #1 slot to the SEC. It wouldn’t necessarily take Bedlam to determine the Big 12 champ. KSU could beat OU with their defense, especially if OU fucks around on the goalline like they did vs Kansas, the worst D in the country. Texas A&M has moments, too. So, even if we drop Bedlam, there is a lot of football to be played and the Big 12 championship is not going to be decided by one game, but by an overall record, the way it should be.
