I had us losing two of our last four games, but we are blessed, and I will be wrong. Big time, because we will own A&M by at least three TDs.  I will be wrong, but it took divine intervention to do it because with the combined Nebraska and Okla. State games, I came within about 2:32 of being right on!  Now TT upends OU, Okla. State is a legitimate threat to do likewise (suddenly UT is on deck for all the Big XII South marbles), at least two current one-loss top-ten teams will lose a second game (which could put UT in one of the top four bowls), everyone's excited. . .(whew)!

We should have nothing but atmospheric pride for the way the Good Guys have fought back or hung on to win lately.  Look at what some of those teams have done post-UT: Nebraska piles up 73 points and TT knocks off #3.  O-State is due for a taste of nervana and the recipient of their deux ex machina may be OU. Which puts you-know-who, you-know-where.  And here I am thinking that might not be the best sequence of events for the Orangebloods.

So how does the school's biggest rival come into our own playground and walk off with our toys?
