If Nick Folk makes two PATs and the

win in regulation their last two home games they would be 7-7 and a game out of a wild card spot.
Instead the misses led to OT losses and at 5-9 the Titans are eliminated from playoff contention.

I love Mike Boynton, and what’s happening to Oklahoma State right now is ridiculous. The NCAA, it’s infractions arm and the schools representing the appeals process… it’s all broken.
Mike Boynton speaks candidly on the process of appeals.
Says the NCAA made him fly to Atlanta the day before a Bedlam game and a hearing was also held THE DAY OF a game against Kansas.
The raw emotion is so hard to watch.

One thing I just can’t get over is the fact the

drafted the best tackle in the draft to play him at left guard because they paid Andre Dillard $29 million over three years to be a left tackle. Indications are that was a major mistake in one of Ran Carthon’s first moves.
