I posted on this yesterday and I'm sorry if it offended the famously delicate sensitivities of those matriculating at the renowned Texas Art and Music University. However, it seems AD Byrne still doesn't get it, so I'll type v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y so that even a Coordinator of Diversity can read and understand.

1) If you find yourselves losing football games 77-0, there's a bit more going on with your program than just a diversity problem. It requires more than 1 or 2 highly teed-off NAACP pass rushers to destroy your squad 77-0.

2) Losing 77-0 does seem to have a disparate impact on Dennis Franchione's recruiting efforts. Perhaps even his prospects of future, lucrative employment in the coaching profession. If AD Byrne, who gave away the farm, located somewhere in the vacinity of Bryan, Texas, for Franchione's 'services' as Head 'Coach', would like to stop receiving informative feedback from the alumni football booster club, he needs a scapegoat. Rapidly.

3) In fairness to the OU football team, they were also denied equal opportunity in The Big 10. Other conferences offered their champions the opportunity to overcome difficult competition and feel a sense of tremendous accomplishment and pride. With a 77-0 outcome, the poor, downtrodden Sooners were denied that opportunity. The level of competition they received from AD Byrne's athletic program was truly separate and very unequal.

4) Out of the goodness of their heart's, the OU fans suggested something to the UT Longhorns during a similar 65-13 unfair denial of equal gridiron competition. They held up a sign saying 'Texas should consider touch football.' A&M defenders would need to catch the OU receivers and running backs first, but at least then, they could keep their eyes on the prize. An elusive name, on the back of a jersey, trucking toward the end zone, to make the score 83-0.

LOL!

Plus, the whiny Aggies weren't so sympathetic after they demolished hapless Baylor 73-10 the previous week.

Guy Morriss (the new coach at Baylor) was the first to defend Oklahoma's romp over A&M.
