I'm not going to put a lot of stock in this poll (even though OU's #1). They have OkSt. at 14 and Colorado at 19. If those two teams are in those positions at the end of the year, I'll kiss (nevermind).

I wouldn't put a lot into the poll either. A poll with the university of nebraska anywhere in its top 25 cannot be concidered credible. With a new coach trying to get wishbone recruited football players to run a west coast style offense, you guys will be lucky to get 7 wins and that's with an EASY schedule.

 

Sat, Sep 4 Western Illinois Memorial Stadium 6 pm (WIN)

Sat, Sep 11 Southern Mississippi Memorial Stadium-ABC 11 am (WIN)

 

Sat, Sep 18 Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA TBA (LOSS)

Sat, Oct 02 Kansas Memorial Stadium TBA (WIN)

 

Sat, Oct 09 Texas Tech Lubbock, TX TBA (LOSS)

Sat, Oct 16 Baylor Memorial Stadium TBA (WIN)

 

Sat, Oct 23 Kansas State Manhattan, KS TBA (LOSS)

Sat, Oct 30 Missouri Memorial Stadium TBA (LOSS)

Wishbone? What is this, the 1980's?

 

Be prepared to eat some humble pie, my friend.
