I read her all the time, and that is Jenny Carlson of the Oklahoma, and we appreciate her hopping on here for a few minutes.

0:53.1

Well, Jenny, let's start with the

0:54.6

Cowboys. Then we'll get into some more big picture, big 12 stuff with the Cowboys this season.

1:00.0

It just felt like a weird year. On games, they weren't supposed to win. They were in games.

1:04.7

They weren't supposed to be in. And then they lost games they weren't supposed to lose,

1:09.1

notably Kansas State, let's say, or bail or whatever you want to point to.

I mean, I think that was the biggest thing.

2:12.4

I even remember telling somebody going into the K-State game that consistency was the biggest thing that was
