OSU faced Baylor like in 1981 or so. Gerald “Ice Cube” McNeil, I believe, was on that Baylor team. Singletary may have been too, though I think he had left the prior yearOh man, now you’re testing my memory! I swear it was Baylor and 36-36. If it was Let me get back to you on thatStory still stands though and if you’re right, I was a Junior in HS not in 7th grade. Fuuuuck

Two observations, one minor, one major
In his comments after the game and in his presser going on as I type this, Ryan has stressed that we are “entering the back half of the season”. Having played 8 games, I like the message to the team that we expect to play 16. As a fan, I love having more football, so being in November and thinking of the season as half over is fantastic.
The major point though (to me) is his open acknowledgment that the program… not just the season, but the program was at a crossroads. To me, that suggests that there really were players who would have tapped out on the rest of the season so as to prepare for the draft if last Saturday had gone differently. That would have started a descent down a slippery slope… truly a crossroads for the program.
Honestly, up until the 4th quarter I had thought this team was already several steps down the wrong path and that it was already too late
That’s hard to admit, as I am usually one of the people saying that it is too soon to draw certain conclusions. There are a couple of units on this team that I defended this season using that argument. Even though those units vindicated that argument last Saturday, that just adds to the shame of having joined the wrong side of that argument before the final results were in
And no… the final results were not last Saturday’s performance. It’s still too early to declare certain things fixed, just as Saturday proved it was too early to call them irreparable.
The lesson here, for me this time, is to enjoy the season as it unfolds. And to let it unfold. It’s only half over after all
