Why are we playing this game? Makes zero sense. Gain nothing if we win
Quit acting like a wimp. Play whoever, wherever, whenever.
If we lose, we lose.

This argument, to me, has been fleshed out and confirmed by the football team. Schedule BYU, originally a home game, in Dallas and a Miami game away and the result is two losses. Meanwhile, Texas schedules a bunch of patsies and they're wimpin' to the national championship game. When you are Pat Hill at Fresno State, you've got to play anyone, anywhere to get the recognition. This should NOT be the mentality when you are OU, you don't have to prove yourself to anyone.
You actually gain the experience that a bunch of hot shot players that don't play defense well and don't out work their opponents can/will lose to anyone. That is a good lesson even if it is tough to take.

I think it was the perfect opponent at the perfect time. Lots to learn from that game.

Wow! A lot of football guys here with apparently ZERO knowledge of bball scheduling.

I think games like this should be scheduled every year, go into a good mid major or high major teams hostile environment and find something out about your team....this isnt football, so a loss wont kill you...
Look, I don't care that we played the game, but we shouldn't be going to the east coast to play mid majors.
If we wanna play a Tulsa, or someone like Houston, fine. That has numerous benefits. But lets not pretend that if VCU doesn't make the tournament, that this won't be a bad loss. And they aren't a lock. I'd rather go play a bigger program that has a better chance of being in the Dance year after year. Those are the losses that don't hurt, and can also help the team.
