One of these days, I will learn to stop making definitive, declarative statements that allow me no room to backpedal.
Unfortunately for my pride, this isn't the day.
No sooner (pun intended) did I declare the Sooners "dead as a doornail" than the doornail jumped back to life and impaled the Cowboys. D'oh!
Big 12 teams now are 122-1 at home. Let's hope we don't become the first to lose a conference home game tonight, eh?
And kudos to Jeff Capel for putting back together a team that looked about as fractured as that backboard Tiny Gallon did a number on. Granted, it only was Oklahoma State, a team that will struggle to make the NCAA Tournament, but it was a nice rivalry win regardless, and something for the Sooners to build off in the future.
