After last weekend's slaughter of the Jayhawks, OSU now moves on to the scapegoat for all things related to conference realignment: The Texas Longhorns. Texas is in a bit of a situation here. Actually, they're not really sure which reality they exist in.
For four games of the season, they were eating snacks with Natalie Portman. Or at least they thought they were. Everything was great--and then OU came along. All of a sudden, they were smacked upside the head and things started getting really blurry. Natalie Portman didn't look like Natalie Portman anymore. She now started to resemble...John Mackovic (look it up)!
"Oh God, NO! Which reality is it?!" the Longhorns screamed. "I can't possibly go back to the 90's! I just now threw away all my Cranberries CDs!"
And that brings us up to speed. This weekend's game is kind of a measuring stick for what type of team the Longhorns really have this year.
It is also a measuring stick for OSU in whether or not they can handle the hype. All this week, the Pokes have been receiving a bevy of national media attention. Will they be able to walk into Austin with level heads and focus on the task in front of them? Let's hope so.
