What a year.
All well and good.
However, another season without a championship.
Don’t know about your situation but I’m running out of seasons.
I hoped this game would start Gordon’s Heisman campaign next year. He was just OK against 3rd stringers. Someone needs to talk to him about not being such a punk. This has been happening all season, jawing with the other team.
This article made a great point. A&M just paid a big name nationally coach 75 million to go away during the season. OSU will never have those resources, ever. Unfortunately that is probably what it takes to be regularly relevant for a national championship. So if you pine for OSU to be regularly relevant for a natty, prepare for disappointment.
They really need to work with Ollie on his flopping. Been seeing that all season long.
Gundy should have got beat if not for A&M fumbling at goal line by a team that had half their scholarship players and no head coach while gundy had his whole team. Really shows you the lack of recruiting of quality players or just development. Just wait for next year and beyond.
Unbelievable, you blame Gundy for winning. Everyone knows that Texas A&M has one of the biggest Collectives in the country to pay NIL. I mean they lose most of their D Line and replace them with two 5 Star and two 4 star players. I’m going to enjoy not listening to you in the off season, but I’m sure you sit around and complain about everything in your path.
I wish people could understand the importance of consistency. Since Mike Gundy took over as head coach at OSU, Texas A&M has had FOUR Head Coaches with a combined record of 153-153. This is a program with at least 4 times the financial resources of OState. Not to mention the fact that they are right in the front yard of one of the most talent rich football areas. OSU’s record during the same time? 156-75 with their terrible lack of recruiting and player development. Is Gundy perfect? No and he should be criticized when deserved, but after winning his 10th game of the season and 12th bowl win is not the time. It looks like you want the entire team to lose every time they play just because you don’t like Gundy.
I would love to see an article comparing the recruiting stars of the players on the field for OSU and A&M.
“The Cowboys went into halftime Wednesday with a 24-6 lead against a team that was on its fourth-string quarterback.”
Yep….its call playing not to lose against an average SEC team that has no HC, no QB, 7 starters out, and 17 players total in the portal. What’s even more embarrassing is there are clowns out there that think we’re going to win a championship in the future with this current coaching staff. You can take the drunk out of the bar, but you can’t take the bar out of the drink.
I wish people could understand that winning conference championships is what makes you a champion caliber program.
I would love to see an article comparing recruiting stars and conference championships between OSU, Baylor, and K State since 2010.
166 - 79. Just saying that was without this year. 67%
66% in blows. Only have 5 season with a losing record in conference games.
I think a 20-point win vs an 8-point win was more specific than talent level. Namely,
a) Bowman 2 ints
b) Defensive scheme that did not pressure a young QB
These have been the 2 big problems all year.
Sure, Ollie could chill with the talking but A&M wasn’t innocent. Their d-line did plenty of talking and that body slam was completely unnecessary. I’ve noticed a lot of teams talk crap to Ollie if they make a good play, and it’s because of how good he’s been this year. As long as he’s not costing the team with dumb penalties (as he did against A&M), I don’t particularly mind it as long as he backs it up. He was a bit average last night and still managed almost 5 YPC and over 100 yards.
Please please please deny the waiver for Bowman NCAA!! We know you hate us but for the love of god just deny it!
You know what would help a lot ? Big money …. Lots of money , I guess you sent your half a million for the portal players we can get with lots of money ? Be sure you do then you have the right to biotch more
I see you are a fan of the Briles era ? That was a fine program he ran wasn’t it …… I think we should pattern our program after Briles
Two of Baylor’s big 12 championships were under Art Briles, who was fired for one of the worst scandals in college football history. The other one was Dave Aranda with his only winning season in four, including a 3-9 this year. Serious question…would you want to trade program positions with Baylor?
I blame gundy for almost losing to a half team with no freaking coach buddy. Did you not watch the game? Did you not witness that? Did you not witness the worst defense in osu history? You just can’t stand the truth can you. Come on here at the end of the season next year and tell me I’m wrong. Did you not witness us getting BLOWN out of the stadium not once but TWICE this year? What in the hell makes you think gundy’s best years are ahead of him? Tell me man or just keep listening to the truth I’m providing for you. Truth is gundy is washed up and got real lucky this year that the big twelve was the worst conference in the country this year. This guy couldn’t even decide for FOUR games into the season who should START!! The guy is loosing it. SAD.
