[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129422961, member: 1754664"] 7-5 will not be progress when you consider this season we switched out Bama for GSU. The same record against an easier schedule is debatably not regression, but it is most definitely not progress. We also went 7-5 in 2012, so the longer term view would not support a claim of progress either. 8-4 would maybe be very slight progress. But, there is a caveat. We've lost our 4 games thus far by a combined 179-98 (44.7- 24.5, -22.2 pts. a game). Last year, we lost our 4 conference games by 135-99 (avg. 33.7- 24.7, -9 pts. a game ) In 2012, our conference losses were by a total of 149-248.(29.8-49.6, -19.8, pts a game). We'll just ignore 2013, a year for which there is no excuse. It's very hard to see how any claim can be made that we getting closer to competing for the Big 12. The biggest difference so far between this year and 2012 is we beat fellow also ran Texas Tech this year. Beating KSU would be a first, so there is that, but KSU is clearly not the team it was in 2012. [/QUOTE]
