The AJC writes another in a series of articles from around the country about the OMG BIGGEST GAME IN STILLWATER EVAH!1!1!!!1! (Update - the ABH has one too)
Leaving aside the total sadness associated with the #13 team coming to your house and that being the biggest game ever (or at least biggest home opener), I'm still left struck that ALL the pressure is on the Cowboys. Maybe the players don't feel it, but you can bet your last windmill or oil well that $286 million of T. Boone's money comes with certain expectations and Coach Gundy feels it. Sleeping on top of a pile of money is fun. Sleeping underneath it; not so much.
As long as we're healthy and don't go turnover crazy, I *really* like our chances in this game. But I digress....here are some headlines from the Cowboy Village (it's not a "nation" yet).
- Learning to Finish - the Cowboys were 1-4 against ranked teams last year. I'm pretty sure that they are 1-All the Rest vs. Ranked teams in the four years Gundy has been there. Many of the big games complete with epic fail collapses. Even if Georgia gets down in the 4th quarter, the pressure will still be on OSU to stop the nearly inevitable comeback.
- Starting TE Leaves the Team - The Cowboys look unlikely to suspend their starting CB who was arrested on a suspended license charge, and I can't blame them for that. I don't think we suspend kids for getting pinched on glorified DMV charges (as long as they are sober at the time). But the TE (Moseley) is a different story. He's out. Last year, Pettigrew was an enormous part of Cowboy attack at TE, and he's gone. Georgia has had mixed success chasing down athletic TEs like Moseley so I'm not disappointed to avoid him. Who will be Robinson's pressure release valve now?
