Neal Brown's seat was already hot. Now it's hotter.

Dana Holgorsen's hot seat got a little cooler.

I don't care for Houston or Holgorsen, so I was disappointed with the outcome.

That sounds like I was bashing the guys who did the initial preservation work. I wasn't. The science of preserving a steel-hulled ship just wasn't very advanced back in the 1940s. It hadn't gotten much better than it was in the 1920s, when we mothballed much of our fleet.
In the famous "destroyers for bases" deal of Sep 1940, whereby the U.S. sent 50 surplus "four-piper" destroyers to Britain in exchange for basing rights on British possessions in the Western Hemisphere, the British found that the destroyers were in terrible condition coming out of mothballing. They had to do a lot of work to get those tin cans seaworthy and combat-capable.

We don't play WVU and we do play Houston, so WVU losing was helpful for our chances to get into the B12 CCG.

Excellent. Y'all will hand them at least their second loss, and help pave the way for UT to come to Arlington and exact revenge upon your Sooners in terrible and violent fashion. 

Thank You For Your Support

A lot (most?) Sooner fans are looking for a rematch too. The Sooners need to play, and beat, the Horns again for SoS purposes, as it seems that there are only two good teams in the conference this year. I expect that the teams themselves are anticipating a rematch.
Looking at previous rematches in the Big 12 CCG, I find the following results:
1999: Texas beat Nebraska in the regular season; Nebraska beat Texas in the CCG.
2000: Oklahoma beat Kansas State in the regular season; Oklahoma beat Kansas State in the CCG.
2001: Texas beat Colorado in the regular season; Colorado beat Texas in the CCG.
2002: Oklahoma beat Colorado in the regular season; Oklahoma beat Colorado in the CCG.
2005: Texas beat Colorado in the regular season; Texas beat Colorado in the CCG.
2007: Oklahoma beat Missouri in the regular season; Oklahoma beat Missouri in the CCG.
2017: Oklahoma beat TCU in the regular season; Oklahoma beat TCU in the CCG.
2018: Texas beat Oklahoma in the regular season; Oklahoma beat Texas in the CCG.
2019: Oklahoma beat Baylor in the regular season; Oklahoma beat Baylor in the CCG.
2020: Iowa State beat Oklahoma in the regular season; Oklahoma beat Iowa State in the CCG.
2021: Oklahoma State beat Baylor in the regular season; Baylor beat Oklahoma State in the CCG.
2022: TCU beat Kansas State in the regular season; Kansas State beat TCU in the CCG.
There's a pattern there that bodes well for OU in a rematch.

Texas has never lost in the regular season and played in a rematch.  No pattern there to worry about.

In fact, looking further, the winner of the first game is only 5-7 in the rematch.  That there is certainly an interesting pattern. Thanks for pointing out the patterns!
