Congratulations to the MSU Bulldogs, Mike Leach!!! For those on here whining that (a 3-7 SEC) UT team didn't deserve a bowl game. What do you think about 3-7 MSU beating a top 25 6-2 team. Yes, it was Tulsa. But, they were 6-2 and top 25!!!

Year 1 for them.

Year 3 for Pruitt.

No one said the SITUATION was the same. The point is that SEC team that only plays 10 SEC games and wins 3 games SHOWED they are as good or better than some of the top 25 teams. I would venture to say that Tulsa would have beaten several 6 win teams from the ACC and PAC 12. They haven't shown a lot this bowl season!!! I was stating the SEC is STOUT!!!!! No, one is happy with a 3-7 record. But, that doesn't make UT as horrific as a lot of this bowl has said. The UK blowout was inexcusable as was the 11 pt loss to Arkansas. But, many on this board thought UT would do well to win 6 games when the schedule came out. Not many expected UT to beat A&M, Auburn two times in a row, Bama, Florida, or Georgia. Many thought the ceiling was 5 wins for the team this year. Yet, a lot act like the team is horrific after losing two to three more than they should have lost. UT was a SEC caliber QB (FOR ALL TEN GAMES) away from being a 6 (minimum) win team this year!!!

I think what this really shows is that bowl games are largely unpredictable. Aside from the playoffs where both teams are fully engaged, trying their hardest. Outside of that, bowl games are a crap shoot.

Second, I think it shows that undefeated, -1, and -2 loss teams in the Group of 5 conferences are NOT comparable to the better teams in the Power 5 conferences. And should rarely be ranked. Far more rarely than they are, these days. It's sort of like thinking an undefeated woman's team should be ranked among the top 25 men teams in basketball or tennis.

But sure, third after those two considerations, it also means the SEC is super tough and awesome. Just squint when you glance at yesterday's Florida-Oklahoma score, or you might reach a different conclusion.

Yeah, that was very ugly and a lot of them should be suspended for a minimum of a few games.

Did you see the little guy for Miss State who kept pushing the lineman for Tulsa in the back - like 4 times while they were moving en masse all the way down the field? LOL. The big Tulsa guy finally had enough of it and pushed him once to the ground. That looked funny.

What a disgrace, he just blew that interview 🤨 what is going through this guys mind to say that fight didn’t bother him and he didn’t mind. That’s embarrassing. Wait until he sees his player stomp on the guy laying on the ground that doesn’t even have a helmet on.

Leach is an idiot. His responses to the fight were weak. Glad he is not our coach.

It was a tepid response with no ownership of the brawl. "Oh well we've never had any problems before today." I wonder if that line would work on a judge? "I hadn't assaulted anyone before today." Eh. He clearly felt it wasn't his problem and it wasn't anything worth commenting on. But that's how he feels about most of football, from what I've seen of him. He cares but he doesn't care _that_ much.
