Texas- only slightly less so. However, I have a soft spot for Arch Manning because of Uncle Peyton's success with the Denver Broncos and the legacy of that family.

But, I watched it and I give "THE" (pretentious as hell, that "THE" is) OSU their due. Great defense with a sufficient offense to be a powerhouse again this year. At least Arch got one TD--though those damned FOX a'holes were determined that it would be pulled back by officials. (Spoiler--it WAS NOT)

So, congrats, Botany... THE OSU has apparently quite the potential this year. That said, I still find it funny when their fans become incensed by those Oklahoma State University fans who needle them over the whole OSU issue.

Fortunately, the season has only just begun, and a lot of good teams will have a few weeks of "practice" games with the small schools before we can see what they bring to the season. We shall see..
