Mark, as of a while ago, our little webathon was at $33k, and I was thinking of how to break down that number in real-life terms.

One way to look at it is that 33 is fewer than the points scored against the Oklahoma Sooners in all but two of its last seven games. For those keeping score, that’d be 41 (Kansas State), 55 (TCU), 49 (Texas), 42 (Kansas), and 38 (Baylor). Texas almost got to 33 just in the first half, but fell a little short at 28. And, of course, one of the games where Oklahoma held an opponent under 33 points was a loss to West Virginia (23–20). By my calculation, 33 is just under the average number of points allowed by Oklahoma over this period, at 37. So, 33 is a pretty meaningful number, but — a little like the Longhorns offense — we don’t want to stay there.

If you haven’t pitched in yet, please consider doing so, and here’s Jim Geraghty’s case for helping out from this morning.
