Thank goodness that one's finally over and more importantly we can stack it in the win column. Now I can sleep and dream of us getting a national seed.

 

[ptrich]

What a dud of a game, but fortunately we won it. I hope this doesn't carry over to the O$U series. Every team has a dud game now and then, but you just don't want to lose those games to a team that doesn't have much of a resume, and we didn't.
