	Report Comment 2curious, Tulsa, OK 74104 (4/8/2009 6:25:36 AM) Just like the short-horns to claim something they didn't earn outright. I'd certainly be embarrassed if the Sooners had hung such a banner under identical circumstances. But...what can you expect from an ex K-Stater and the entire state of Texas?
	Report Comment buster, TULSA OK (4/8/2009 7:19:06 AM) Texas Tech could claim championship, they beat Texas.
	Report Comment Sportsfanatic, Tulsa (4/8/2009 8:57:28 AM) What is amazing is that Texas acts like this is the first time something like this has happened. For someone to claim that a "flip of a coin" decided who was conference champs is ridiclous. They knew very well before the season started how the tie-breaker would be decided, yet they still want to claim they were cheated. Mack Brown is the biggest Whiner in the history of college football!!!
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (4/8/2009 9:31:52 AM) Enjoy your bonus this year. You will not get one next year.
	Report Comment Navin Johnson, (4/8/2009 9:49:45 AM) Good for them. They deserved it and were clearly robbed by the Big 12. The Gooners again proved they are frauds by choking in yet another BCS game. Small-game Stoops strikes again!
	Report Comment KBarrow, (4/8/2009 9:53:01 AM) They can do whatever they want with their money, but to say, "A flip of a coin basically deprived them of the ability to earn that part of their compensation." is not true. The deciding factor on who would play for the Big 12 Championship from the South was based on rankings and strength of schedule factors....not a coin flip. READ MY LIPS, TEXAS! YOU DID NOT EVEN PLAY FOR THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP....LET ALONE WIN IT! Did somemone down there get hypnotized to believe they did win it? Even though they beat OU & Missouri in the regular season, that wouldn't mean they would win the Big 12 Championship game. I've never seen such IDIOTS in my life! Can't wait for this year's OU-Texas game....the "ass"terisk game
	Report Comment Jimm, (4/8/2009 10:02:50 AM) This year Texas Tech won't bail you out like last year. How many times do you think you can put it in reverse and back into a Big 12 championship game?
	Report Comment CaliforniaOkie, Burbank (4/8/2009 11:08:09 AM) I think UT should be out even more money now that this precident has been set. UT has only won the Big 12 title once since 1997, that was in 2005. Since they get bonuses for NOT WINNING, I think those Football Assistants are owed a bunch more money. Nice job Texas!
	Report Comment shaw411, Scottsdale, AZ (4/8/2009 4:16:37 PM) Maybe they can use some of the money to wipe away the tears I am sure they are still shedding... Boomer Sooner!!!
	Report Comment SoonerDJ, Lisbon, Portugal (4/9/2009 5:30:45 AM) Navin, you're kidding right? UT OOC schedule was oh-so tough. OU was playing better ball, and OU lost to the National Champion! UT needed a game winnign drive to beat a sucky Big 10 team and barely beat Okie State. UT can go on touting thier wins in the Alamo and Cotton bowls against inferior teams. I'll take the losses on the big stage over wins in lower tier bowls. The thing that needs to be done is the big 12 needs to do away with the north and south divisions and a playoff format be established for the post-season.
