As big of a Campbell homer as I am, this is the kind of mindset we have to get over as a fanbase.
The next step for our program is a Big 12 Championship game. To accomplish that, beating Texas is almost a must, not just an accomplishment.
Completely agree. Five years ago would you have taken an uneventful 7-5? Absolutely. But at some point I think that mindset has to change. The reality of this year is we beat one FBS team with a winning record, and that was a very marginal Texas team. We beat very bad ULM, Kansas and West Virgina teams. We beat TCU and Tech who are somewhat competitive, but still had losing records. I think you could argue the highlight of the season was a loss to OU.
7-5 is what it is, but the whole thing just was very unfulfilling. Not a lot of great, exciting moments, not a lot of memorable performances. We won the ones we should, and that's really about it.
So do you take it as opposed to where we were 5 years ago? Absolutely. But I think next year will be time to really turn the corner and decide if we really are a top 3 Big 12 program.
