Yeah, 10 was the absolute best. I love round robins.

I get why we added the ccg but really the round robin champion is the absolute best way to identify and reward the best team

how about 20 teams, 2x 10-team divisions, full round robin in division and CCG for the best from each? I don't like the idea of being locked into a division though, so there can be a rotation of members between both divisions with protections for cherished rivalries or something like that

10 is the best.

Since we'll never go back to that. Does that mean 20 (2x 10 team divisions) is the right number for a mega-conference in football?

Good timing.

TCU needs to stop being a piece of crap and win this game.

Missed the 2x10=20 talk, and totally agree. Would be awesome.

Man eff TCU

Only hope at this point is the Big 12 deciding they shouldn't change their rules on week 10 of the season, after all.

This conference deserves a red river rivalry 2.0 in Arlington tbh

OU is kicking TCU's ass, sad. I do love some Sawchuck; that RB knows how to spin off tackles; it's a great style and art to gain more yards than any non-spinners.

Well, it was fun to dream while it lasted.

We are though going to have a lot of years coming up were we're in the chase for the pepper

Katpappy · « **Reply #264 on:** November 24, 2023, 01:23:00 PM »

Even if we don't make the CCG, it's nice to be in the running. Also, we are ranked higher than OU and OSU, with Texas as the only one higher, so WITF are we not in the Dr. Pepper? We lost to the number 7 and no. 9 ranked teams by a FG each and lost to OSU by a TD and we are the highest-ranked 3-loss team in the top 25, so again, WITF aren't we in the Dr. Pepper?

Katpappy · « **Reply #265 on:** November 24, 2023, 01:36:06 PM »

Damn, I'm enjoying the OU/TCU game. TCU is looking good in the 2nd half. Also, TCU's RB is looking good, as this is his fourth TD in the last four games. Just thinking, the Big XII has some mighty fine RBs this year. We're kind of changing from a QB-throwing conference to an RB-running one.

Katpappy · « **Reply #266 on:** November 24, 2023, 02:07:50 PM »

What a day for RB Bailey; he has run for 188 yards today and BTW he led the conference last year for YPR @8.1. Sony hit gold with this Ragin' Cajuns star.

Katpappy · « **Reply #267 on:** November 24, 2023, 02:09:46 PM »

I'm hoping Sawchuck is out of gas since he's done nothing in the 2nd half.

Katpappy · « **Reply #268 on:** November 24, 2023, 02:13:26 PM »

I can see why daddy Stoops is so proud of his 6 yr game-time son. I had heard he is on his way to OU's all-time receiver, but he's at no. 14 from the top.

Katpappy · « **Reply #269 on:** November 24, 2023, 02:29:25 PM »

The stars are on the sideline today with all-time no. 1 LB @OU there enjoying the game. I didn't see or hear about star country singer Toby Keith being on the sideline, as he is a usual attendee of the home games. Also, I saw him on the Country Awards show the other day and he has lost his large manly physical shape, due to his battle with cancer.

OU and UT double-birding the rest of the B12 on their way out the door isn’t very fun to have to stomach. Worse when our Cats had every opportunity to be there in Arlington instead of at least one of them.

Katpappy · « **Reply #271 on:** November 24, 2023, 02:42:15 PM »

Jees, 3rd quarter looked great for TCU and now 4th quarter is all OU. Maybe TCU's QB Hoover will make something out of this drive. BTW, I just can't believe Spykes got Hoover from Alabama, straight from the loving arms of Saben.

OU needs OSU to lose to get into the game.

At first I was relieved bc I saw the score and was like “oh that’s crazy tcu and OU are playing each other in basketball the same weekend they play each other in football” but then, alas, I realized the truth
