but this current way the Big12 has of scheduling conference games certainly doesn't help. Would this season look different if we had a mix of the current early and late-season conference schedule instead of the gauntlet we have run? A chance to catch your breath and gain a little confidence can do wonders for a team's psyche. Not just the Cats, includes the others that are not perceived by the conference as being in the upper echelon. Allows the haves to get on a roll while the have-nots take the beatdown. I can't say I am in favor of it.
