Two years ago, it was that miserable OT loss to IS. The Pokes would have beaten LSU. This year, it was West Virginia. That loss was absolutely mind-boggling when watching them beat, and in many cases, crush, some of the better teams out there. Nothing would make me happier than watching the Cowboys in the BCS championship game. But it won't be this year, unfortunately. Let's just hope they lay a hurtin' on big red Saturday. The game is in Stillwater so that would be a great finish to the regular season.
Indeed, it has been a long time coming. I go back to the Bluegrass Bowl days, played on the infield of the race track at the Kentucky State Fairgrounds -- which we won (beating Florida State, by the way).
T. Boone's been good for the program. And for the school.
