SI College Football Mailbag re: Oklahoma State

[DCLonghorn]

I thought this was pretty funny from SI College Football Mail Bag.

Question: "You guys ran a story on how Iowa State is fixing up their stadium, but Boone Pickens Stadium is looking great and is 1,000 times better looking than it used to be. Why isn't there a story about BPS? Why is it that the national media continues to ignore Oklahoma State even though they have had one of the most prolific offenses over the last two years?
-- James White, Stillwater, Okla.

SI.com Answer: Because they go 6-6 every year. But I'm sure the stadium is lovely."

It was a fantastic response. I don't always agree with Mandel, but I like the way he writes

The life of an OSU football fan is spent demanding respect for having never won anything. The crowning achievement of their program is a holiday bowl win, and it took one of the the greatest running backs in the game for them to attain that.

That said, I used to think their fans were the most annoying people in the world, then I moved to Texas and met aggy.

That's gold, Jerry.

I'd probably whine a lot too if I lived in Stillwater.

Started to say, sounds a little like a&m doesn't it?

Hook'em!
