is because I don't mind losing competitive games in the Big 12. It's getting blown out that is completely unacceptable.

A tight loss in Boulder is something that can happen to just about any team in the country.

Should we have won? YES.

Are we a better team than we were last year? YES

Will we be a good/very good team in 2010? YES.

Let's beat OU next week.

what does 'good' mean to you? 10 wins? With this staff, I don't have ALOT of confidence next year. This team will have ALOT of talent next year, but Sherman is not much better than fran on gameday.

I'm still trying to figure out who the team really is. There have been wild swings back and forth this year.

there's no point in being pissed off and angry and "I'M DONE ZOMG" after this loss because:

1) it already happened, what's done is done
2) we all need to look ahead to the next game, just like Sherman does with the team
3) texags opinions don't actually affect anything
4) we need an OU hotties thread

I'm as upset as the next guy, and usually the first potbanger on the boards, but this is not the game to quit on.

If we lose to Baylor, you can quit on this team, but this loss can ha happen to anyone, especially when you play 18 freshmen.

mediocrity is a disease that continues to plague this program. it is shameful how widely accepted it has become.

whoooopgigsnr has a point..we should not have lost this game; Don't know what Sherm said after KSU, but there needs to be some real buttocks chewing after this. We lost this game in every sense of the word because we had this game won.

Is it possible to be cognitively OK with the fact that we lost, but still be really emotionally pissed about it?

Where'd I say I was going to do that?

I only said that someone who's life has been reduced to whining/trolling on a message board should probably rethink things...

Saying that I'm "OK" with this loss is not the way to put it, but I'm not ready to potbang with the best of them.

Going into Boulder and winning is a tough thing. In 2006 a Colorado team that won 2 games all year beat a Texas Tech team that ended with 8 wins. In 2007 they handed the Big XII champions (Okie) a loss and went on to finish 6-7. Last year they knocked off West Virginia on the way to their five win season. Colorado is good for a game like this every year.

Making sausage ain't pretty folks. Neither is building a football program from the ground up. And that is what Sherman is doing. There were some questionable calls today, I am still in shock about giving up TWO 3rd and 15s on TD drives. But there are going to be questionable calls in any loss, espeically a close loss. This sucks. I wanted the Ags to go 7-5. But it's not an indication of anything huge here.

Cornerblitz- I'm not quitting (I'll be in Norman) but this game was ours; we had it won and we let it get away. Getting blown out at KSU is one thing, but letting a 2-6 mediocre team with suspect coaching and talent not on the level as ours beat you is not an acceptable thing. We had this game won and lost it.

So since I'm really pissed then I guess I can't be OK with it. OP still an oasis in a desert of "I quit" threads...
