What is your pick?

I am partial to this model. Great deal for the money.

We have two conference wins by a combined 4 points. We are 6 points away from being 0-10 in conference with McD's probably most talented team.

We lose by 6 at least. I won't be watching.

Play a decent first half. Look good at times. Game is close at half. Open the 2nd half without fire and OSU goes on a run in the first 5-10 minutes. Spend the rest of the game clawing back - make it a bit interested in the end but still lose.

Pessimistic? Nope, I'm just regurgitating how the majority of our conference games have gone. I don't see how a rational person could believe anything else until the team proves this long, long trend is over.

We will lose by 4-6. Okie State has something to play for at this point, we don't. That will be the difference.

Whatever you don't look at the opposite of that and see that with a bucket here or there or a stop here or there, we could be 7-3. Of course your "close to a different outcome" scenario probably only works one way.

I am going with my same prediction that I've used the last 6 games. 72-61 OSU. Not sure how it will happen, but it will cause me to yell at the tv, in turn my wife yells at me. Looks like another lonely night. This season can't end soon enough.
:wink:

We are 121 points from being undefeated. Looking at those numbers doesn't mean much.

But we are only 82 points away from a free one-night stay at Holiday Inn on our Priority Club card.

This is very similar to my household. Get yelled at, followed by the comment "Why do you still watch this?"...a quesiton that is getting much harder to answer.
