What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHouston beat Oklahoma State tonight in a shootout, and Yahoo Sports says it was the Cougars' most high-stakes home game in more than a decade.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDale, your take.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMore than a decade of nothing mattering, then one night where it does.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHouston should treat stakes like a boiler: you only find out it's broken in winter.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. A boiler is a stretch.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYahoo's headline is Oh, what a night. That's the first thing anyone's said after a Houston home game that wasn't a parking complaint.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTen years of comments, finally one with a pulse.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. The parking part is correct.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTen years.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take is the hottest. Houston should never win a big game again.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty thirty-six, then. Plenty of time to find the parking. Brock, is there weather in that?
