This would be a pretty good outcome in the Big 12. We have struggle to do this in the AAC/CUSA. Going 8-4 in the BIG 12 is a really good season; it will be a tough, parity-driven conference.
What youâve described here is basically life as a middle-of-the-pack Big 12 team, and yes, Iâd take that in a heartbeat. I think in the long term, thatâs a best-realistic-case scenario for us. (Itâs also not terribly different than weâve done over the last decade in the AAC.)

Thinking I started a thread for this . . . . . it should have been enough . . . . .
No fair bringing âcommon senseâ into an emotional stream . . . . .
Of course it is. Itâ obviously deeper in almost every aspect, with better players at every position in general. Doing so with his own players, for the most part. He did inherit an almost empty roster . . . . .
I leave thinking there are a bunch of henpecked people who are afraid of their SOâs . . . . .
We will have to see the schedule first but with DHâs track record of B12 mediocrity at WVU, losing Tune, and CDH not beating too many P5 or winning teams since here Iâll be very happy with a bowl game next year. You hope we win our 3 OOC games but even if we do that winning 3 conference games will be a chore. Who are we likely to beat? We just lost to B12 cellar dwellers TT and KU this year with our long tenured QB who we wonât have next year.
I worry too but I think we will win a few⊠Iowa St, Tech, Kansas, BYU & WV are teams that I think we close with. I think our players are better than folks give them credit for⊠coaching is key! 
Exactly!!! Beetlejuice has hardly ever won against ranked teams. It goes way beyond Oklahoma 
Nothing wrong with supporting the team and hoping for the best however thinking that Holgorsen will acheive anything positive as a head coach here is an exercise in futility. Dude has never done squat and should thank his lucky stars his buddy Tilman loves him. #ionlyspeakthetruth

Coach Sampson reminded everyone he once had a 12 game losing streak.
Dana won more B12 games than lost.
Letâs play the games and have some fun being in a conference that gets more respect. I bet our players show up and give the B12 all they can handle.

On the flipside, if we beat Tulsa (highly likely) and win our bowl game (TBD), our combined record over the past 2 seasons (12-2 / 9-4) will be 21-6.

Well no more excuses after the 2023 season is over. If he is below .500 he needs to go
21-6 eh? Not bad, I say. 27-0 will be better but not something that should drive a coaching change. I love the offense we are executing now. If he get the defense in order, we are good to go. #LBTulsa

In Yeomanâs first 4 seasons he won 15 games
Sometimes coaches improve thereafter.
Covid we only played 9 games so your average is going be off
His total record includes three bowl games and the conference championship game. Itâs correct.
How can say his average wins when we didnât play a full year of games? The average will be off if you include the Covid year
I didnât realize Holgorsen needed training wheels. I thought he was being paid what he is because he is a finished product - an experienced head coach.

Well⊠an average is calculated by adding a group of numbers and then dividing by the count of those numbers. In this case, I used two groups of numbers - wins and losses. The count of those numbers is the total seasons Holgorsen has been here.
I rounded up both the products to give a nice round wins and losses figure.
Math is fun.

Really, you donât understand that throwing in the Covid would throw off the math?
