There were a lot of emotions running throughout the Baylor game. And when it was over, there were lots of emotions about the loss. Here's the thing, Carey, Josh and Eddie got together after to record the Eskridge Lexus Postgame pod. And we had serious thoughts about what the loss should mean for fans. We're no longer talking about conventional changes on the roster or the on the staff. We want OU fans to grab some perspective. The look at the rest of the season a certain way, and judge everything based on that. There is no Big 12 title game, no playoff and not even a bowl game at this point. The Sooners went toe-to-toe with another middling Big 12 team and this time it wasn't a total debacle. But there were still way too many mistakes to stomach. This team doesn't have the right stuff. How Venables and the staff and the players finish out the season will say more about the future of this program than the 9 games we've seen so far.
