This is a little more like it. 28-3 early second quarter. I'm still trying to figure out how we lost to K-State. They are so awful.

And as soon as I type that Franklin throws a pick six. I'll stop talking.

I went to the game, and they looked damn near perfect today (other than the two picks that Franklin threw when I went to piss and buy a hot dog). If they play like that every game from here on out, I feel good about their chances at 8-4.

Yeah, as long as you go and withhold all liquid intake.

I thought running that pick out of the end zone was stupid, but it worked out pretty good.

Edit: I really miss Nebraska not being in the Big Twelve.

Edit: Oh gosh that was bad.

Yeah, same here. I believe the progression went "What the [expletive] are you doing, you [expletive] idiot?!?!" to "YES! GO!" in approximately 3.2 seconds.

I know Franklin's got time to grow. I just hope he doesn't use all that time to do it.

He has shown flashes. And really if you think about it, a roughing the kicker and a missed field goal is hurting MIZ more than anything this year. A- and K- SU should both be victories and this season would look a lot better. It would look even better without james' fumble, but I don't think they were going to beat the cowboys anyway.

I like the progress James is making, but wish it could be faster. You'd like him next year, except they'll be losing in the sec.

We've gotten spoiled a bit, too. Daniel didn't make nearly as many errors early on. In fact, that was what made him so great- he almost never made bad reads. And Gabbert had the cannon to get away with more when he was a sophomore whereas Franklin does not. So there'll be growing pains with Franklin. That said, he seems like he'll be special once it clicks for him.

Oklahoma State is damned good. Between what we saw of OSU and OU, OSU is the better team.
