The original post: "Anyone think our chances of beating OU are better in 07 due to the element of surprise we'll have. i.e. OU not having game film of NT to study? Or do you think the learning curve for Dodges system will be too steep to be effective in the first game of the season?" Fake Lonnie's reply: "This is a joke, right?" A simple answer could have been, no we don't have a better chance of beating OU with TD, we had a better chance with DD. Elaborating by saying that it is impossible is like going to each play, looking them dead in the eye and saying "You don't have a chance, you might as well not even show up" I for one prefer the positive, "I want you guys to go out and give it everything you've got, if you do that, who knows, we might surprise somebody" Don't ever let a player think that you don't believe in them.
