I would call almost beating A&M showing a pulse on the road
OSU hasn't shown a pulse on the road since Eddie Sutton was headcoach before this recent KSU win then.
Didn't OSU win a couple of road games last year? I know they didn't during Sean's tenure.
FWIW, Colorado also "almost" beat A&M in College Station, and they've lost something like 35 straight conference road games. The game before that, OSU blew their doors off in Stillwater.

OSU got beatdown by Baylor who lost to Colorado. You can't judge the Big 12 by individual comparison games. Doesn't work.
We beat Utah on the road, took OT and since it was Utah it is not pulse worthy.
Yes. OSU won three conference road games last year. And we beat a ranked A&M team in College Station in Sean's last year... I believe that was his one and only conference road win.

It doesn't work when directly comparing teams every single time, but we can certainly draw some broad strokes, can we not? Especially when you keep home/away status constant.
The OSU-Baylor (in Waco), OSU-Colorado (in Stillwater), Baylor-Colorado (in Boulder) examples are crossing home/away status.
That's not the case with OU-A&M and Colorado-A&M.
OU "almost won" against A&M in College Station and then Colorado also "almost won" in College Station a few days later.
My point in bringing up the OSU-Colorado game was not to compare OSU to anyone. It was to note that CU hasn't been great shakes on the road.
So the overall point was "almost winning" at CS might not be a great barometer for road-game improvement, given that Colorado -- a horrible road team -- did the same thing a few days later.
I can't wait for Bedlam 2.
Me either it will be nice to prove that Bedlam 1 was a fluke.
By that logic in 2008 when KU won a national championship and lost in Stillwater but OU won in Stillwater, OU is the better team than KU. I am going to go get some 2008 OU basketball National Champion t-shirts made.
