Five-Star Recruit
Who to go for? Let's think strategically here, not just with our guts, which of course want TX to get stomped upon at each and every opportunity. (Yes, I know I'm getting way ahead of myself here. Can't help it. It's fun.)
While it would be good to have TX rebound and be around #12 or 13 in the polls before 10/16, that means that we might very likely see 'em again in the Big 12 CG.
On the other hand, if OU wins out, that means a severely diminished 10/16 game; TX likely won't even be ranked. Sure, it will still be fun to kick their teeth in, but not as much fun as if there were more at stake.
Ultimately, I have to go for OU. If there is a deity in the sky, he will see to it that an undefeated OU meets undefeated NU (both ranked in the Top 5) in the Big XII CG, in one last marble game. Then we can all go merrily on our separate paths, and maybe see OU in a NCG again someday.
Thoughts?
