Will/Should Mack Let them Know the Score?

Of the OU Okie State game? Obviously if Sooners win, Texas vs Baylor becomes the conference championship game.

Bedlam is played at 11am. We play Baylor right after at 2:30. The team is going to be wanting to know, curious, etc...

Obvious answer is NO. Give a team instruction, stay focused, etc... Control the only thing we can control, and tell the team regardless of what happens, we are still playing for a share of the title. However, all it takes is 1 practice squad player or team assistant to check their Iphone right before kickoff - then word spreads like a virus.

If you are Mack do you avoid the issue and tell them to ignore it and pay no attention? Or do you accept the curiosity and face it head on before you go out on the field. Regardless of the outcome, re-focus the players and then go play?

You tell them the score. The players are going to know the score the moment they hit the field, because it will be on scoreboard and the media is going to mention it.
