The barbar said the other day that, try as he might, he couldn’t bring himself to root for the Sooners under any circumstances, not even in their game tomorrow night against the Red Raiders of Texas Tech.
An Okie win, the conventional wisdom has it, is the only chance the Longhorns have left to make it into the national championship game–possibly against Florida after the Gators whoop Alabama. But, it seems to me, there’s just as big a chance that a victorious Oklahoma would then vault over Texas in the BCS poll, leaving the Longhorns about where they are now, at No. 3, or even a bit lower. So I don’t know what to do, other than to watch the game and hope for the best by Sunday evening when the poll comes out. My inclination, like the barbar’s, would be to cheer for any Texas team against Oklahoma, but maybe not. We’ll see.
