In all the years, I think those two home losses last year in November to Nebraska and OU were the most telling and damaging.
Regardless of all the struggles to get something started under Fran, those two games were to be THE STAND that was to be taken to put that program into an elite competitive level.
The ensuing 12-7 victory over the Horns with a banged up Colt was not even enough to offset those two absolutely disappointing losses.
Win those two games, with a chance to take the Big 12 title, and a lot could be forgotten, and a different '07 might have ensued.
