Given that the Big 12 is considered the worst of the P5 conferences, we need every bowl win we can get.
That said, my attitude towards Oklahoma State has changed dramatically since I retired from the military. When I was living all over the country/world, I honestly rooted for OSU when they weren't playing OU. However, now that I live in Oklahoma I don't know if I've ever seen such a collection of whiny, perpetually butthurt, petty, and hypocritical people.
For tonight though...Go Pokes!

That is hilarious. I have never understood rooting for the conference. What would it matter if a conference went 0 fer in bowls?
Does the conference with the NC winner get an extra bowl win and the loser an extra loss now since they play two bowl games? What if the NC winner is the only team in their conference to win a bowl game? Is there an asterisk needed then?
Reverse this exactly and it's my feelings toward OU.

Good luck Monday
Like it or not, conference prestige, credibility, and, at the end of the day, finances are most directly a function of bowl performance. The truth of the matter is that the Big 12 is considered "the little sisters of the poor" based mostly on how we (haven't) performed in the postseason. Conversely, the SEC built its reputation largely on strong bowl showings. That perception of conference strength is seen at BCS and playoff selection time and currently the Big 12 is bringing up the rear relative to the other P5 conferences.
You'll never see me chanting "Big 12, Big 12" but, all other things being equal, I'm going to root for our conference teams in the postseason for those reasons
If Michigan were a one loss team, tOSU would be a two loss team and Michigan would be 12-1 B1G CHUMPS.^^^ I'm not sure if a one loss OU team gets in over a one loss Pac-12 champion Husky team this year. I'm not even sure we'd get in over a one loss Michigan team. Perhaps but no other Big 12 team would. Perception-wise we're not helped in the eyes of committee members as a result of our overall mediocre, at best, bowl record under Stoops. The Big 12 simply has to up its game in the postseason.
I've been around aOm fans...Not sure how anyone who's ever been around Colorado fans could ever root for the Bison. Eff-em. Pistols firing.

Stoops bowl record didn't stop the committee last year...
A one loss texASS wouldn't get in? What are you smoking?

Depends on what the records are of the teams vying for the last playoff spot, who Texas lost to, when, etc?
When will that happen ?All I know is OU is king in the Big 12, the other weaklings tailing need to pick it up.
Aside from Texas, I want Big 12 teams winning bowl games, even if it has no impact on OU in a national championship format.
It adds to OU's legacy winning a conference championship when all the other Big 12 Conference bowl teams win in postseason.
