were a tournament team at the start of the season. And I'm not generally all that blue goggled. I just couldn't understand the negativity towards a team with the talent we had coming back.

I thought our football team would win 5 to 7 games this year and was happy to be wrong on that one.

But I just think there is too much talent on this team to not make the tournament. I think we'll win between 10 and 12 conference games (so...11) and finish between 5th and 7th in the Big12 and get like an 8 seed.

I just think we're going to gel as the bench shortens for conference play and we're going to win a few big games.

I'm officially on record.
