Look what we did after our first and only Big 12 championship.  Anybody remember any of these guys?  What a lost opportunity...

Based on the # of names I can recall from those lists, I don't see how we even fielded teams 04-08.

That recruiting class was rough ridin' terrible.

It's so frustrating, because it reinforced the contrarian idea that stars are not good indicators of talent, while other schools who had similarly ranked recruiting classes did well with their talent.

One important thing to remember about that year was that there was a TON of chatter from insidery sources that Bill had the staff on lockdown preparing for the bowl game, and didn't let them go out and recruit as much as many thought that they should.

Actually, the 2004 class is the class after the Big 12 championship.

I'd let it slide, but you've been very specific in the rules of when Luking is allowed.

A friend of mine worked with a guy from the 2003 team.  That spring after we won the big 12, he told my friend "Bill better recruit some damn good players cuz there's Sproles and then no one left". 

Is that Manhattan?  My God, it's beautiful!

The single biggest issue from 02 on was the absolute inability to land a qb.  There were plenty of  serviceable players.

Marcus Watts was a stud...an absolute stud. Got hurt all the time, then made big plays.

After 2006 he was complete garbage and a huge pussy.
