Which side claims bragging rights tonight? I thought we played a pretty solid game tonight. Just didn't have a couple things go our way.

Damn I hate the phrase "sunshine pumper". Sounds like something a 3rd grader would come up with. Nothing wrong with being positive BUT with reasonable expectations.
Not thrilled we didn't win, but will be happy 'this year' to go to a bowl. Next year we must do better, and I believe we will.
I guess it depends on what your expectations are. I've always said I'm happy with being a competitive football team against everyone but the very top of the conference. I think that's where we are at, and if not, very close. Sometimes you just have to accept progress and be happy with that. Anyone who doesn't think we've made progress just doesn't want to see what's in front of them.
Man, I hope Barker can play soon. Just the threat of throwing would be a Godsend at this point.
I'd love to see some throwing too Kooky but given what I've seen from Barker so far he may not be the answer. Towles version 2 IMO. He's young though so my opinion at this point doesn't matter.
I don't consider myself neither a pumper or a downer, I consider myself a realist. Before the season I thought we would be 6-6 and go to a bowl game. After the way we started the season I thought it would take a miracle for us to get to 6 wins. Well we seem on track to get at least 6 wins this season. Tonight should have been a win, but 3 big plays cost us the game. Those plays were on the players not the coaches. If and when we make it to a bowl game, I feel it will be a burden off the staff/players shoulders and the team will play much better going forward. You honestly can't put a price tag on the value of those 15 extra bowl game practices and the game itself. That's how you become a better team. Am I pissed we lost the game? Absolutely, but we are still on track to get to a bowl game and get those much needed extra practices and game snaps this team desperately needs.
I'm #ALLOUT, done with Stoops, I'll still watch and support my cats as always, but I give up on Stoops ever doing much here. Great news is, Basketball is ranked #2 and is close to starting.
