	Report Comment PRCowboy, (10/13/2008 8:26:02 AM) How the heck is the #8 team not on TV this weekend?
	Report Comment Angry Citizen!, Bluejacket (10/13/2008 8:50:06 AM) We get no respect!
	Report Comment LaffALot, (10/13/2008 9:33:04 AM) Gee, A good, solid ground game is a very effective ‘tool for the spread offense. College Defenses are “built” to contain, control, and limit passing yardage & completions. OSU is a great running team! Poise beats statistics: McCoy & Robinson are the two best QB’s in the Big 12! Mobile, makes few mistakes, & rarely allows “negative” yardage for the team. Texas/OSU winner Big 12 Championship? How are them ‘Gooner fans goin’ to feel losing to both Texas & OSU the same yr.?
	Report Comment iflyfast, (10/13/2008 9:35:37 AM) PRCowboy...simple. OSU was not predicted to do what they have done so far this year, so when the TV contracts came out, OSU-Baylor was definately NOT on the radar as a game to televise. It has nothing to do with respect. It isn't for a couple more weeks that the TV games become more flexible.
	Report Comment zrs, Tulsa, Claremore (10/13/2008 10:25:34 AM) I'm happy for the Cowboys. Maybe they can bring a championship to Oklahoma, as it's seeming less likely that OU can do it after that collapse in the second half.
	Report Comment TMT, tulsa (10/13/2008 10:47:26 AM) i pay a lot of money to cox each month for my 400 plus digital channels. why can't they show the game on channel 268 or 402? (you get the point) i don't care if the OSU Baylor game wasn't on the radar in the off season, they are in the top 10 for pete's sake. make an adjustment!!!! you know the game is being filmed since we see the hilights on the 10 o'clock news. come on, get in the 21st century. show the flippin' game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	Report Comment TMT, tulsa (10/13/2008 10:52:15 AM) oh, and a few more things: they are undefeated, knocked off a potential number 1 team, practically shut down the leading candidate for the heisman and made him look ridiculous, defensively surprised the entire nation and did it all during an away game.
	Report Comment Cowboy stuck in MD, (10/13/2008 11:22:21 AM) I got an idea buy some tickets and go to the game!!!!
	Report Comment osuhank, fort gibson (10/13/2008 11:28:12 AM) How about them Cowboys!!!!
	Report Comment maw089, Tulsa (10/13/2008 11:30:18 AM) Great job COWBOYS !!!!!!!!!!!!
	Report Comment TMT, tulsa (10/13/2008 12:32:57 PM) maryland cowboy - can't, my kids have sports every weekend. it's easier for us to see it on tv.
	Report Comment Matt in BA, (10/13/2008 3:48:41 PM) T Bone wants to sell out the stadium first before his home games get on TV, and Mike Holder probably requires the TV crews to buy season tickets before they get in to televise the game. }:-)
	Report Comment Stomp, (10/13/2008 4:33:09 PM) well, honestly, its time for some sellouts. This team deserves to play before a sold out stadium. I have no idea why those last 8k seats are going unsat in...probably a combination of bad pricing, reluctance to believe in our team, but its time to show up. For the game against Baylor and the rest of the season. Go Pokes, beat Baylor!
	Report Comment MexiMike, tulsa (10/13/2008 7:48:03 PM) I hate to say it people because it has been our Trump card against OU for the longest time BUT...OSU needs fairweather fans. THERE! I SAID IT! It's true! We need the fans who aren't alumni. We need the fans that are on the fence on which in-state school to root for. We even need fans who are fans only because we are winning. Who can disagree at this point?
	Report Comment Have that, America (10/14/2008 1:31:39 AM) I disagree meximike... I take a lot of pride in the fact that theres about a 95% chance you went to OSU if your a fan of the cowboys... OU can keep their wal-mart fan base.
	Report Comment Dr. Strangelove, Tulsa (10/14/2008 7:48:43 AM) MexiMike- OSU doesn't need the bandwagon fan base OU has. I'm proud of our fans. What good would it do, sell more T Shirts? Ticket prices are already too high. I was in Vegas over the weekend and watched the OU TX game at JZ's at the Venetian. TX fans were a class act. The Sooner fans embarassed me being from Oklahoma.
	Report Comment mobro, (10/15/2008 9:34:21 AM) Have that, I'm one of those 5% who aren't alumni, but I did put two daughters through OSU. That makes me an investor with a stake in the school ;) or Alumni once removed?
	Report Comment Have that, America (10/15/2008 9:49:22 AM) Mobro... yeah...you have a direct personal relationship to the university... and I'm certainly not bashing our 5-10% of fans that didn't go to school there...not at all...I know quite a few of those fans and they are good people. I'm just saying that I don't want that 5-10% to be reversed where its 90-95% walmart fans that have never set foot on campus...like it is with OU. we have plenty of OSU fans in the state to fill the stadium every week...its just a matter of people going to the games....
