Bedlam Second Half Open Thread

The early INT hurt OSU, but other than that, they've played the Sooners to a draw.

Pokes get the ball first in the second half. Let's see a drive worthy of a 40 year old man.

Fiesta

If OU wins out and with Oregon State choking who would we most likely get assuming Fiesta takes Texas?

I'd say Utah
Are you assuming the Sugar would grab Ohio State?

Not sure who’s picking in what order here.

i think the two national title bowls pick first.

meaning, sugar picks first after losing AL/FL if ranked BCS #1, fiesta would get 2nd choice after losing OU/TX/TT.

after that, i don’t know the order.

After replacement picks

Fiesta, then Sugar, then Orange.
I would assume that Ohio State would be more desireable than Utah.

utah
Ironically, Utah was on our schedule for this season a few years ago
osu needs an x-factor or else

oklahoma has “solved” the osu defense. they were dominated early but really adjusted by resorting to the underneath stuff. steady, efficient, they won’t be as high flying as normal but it’s enough to get 35-40+ points on the board. as well as they’ve played, okie state needs to know they need a lot of points to win this game and play accordingly. unless they get some big plays from dez on special teams or the passing game i don’t think they can get to that number

I wanted to play a real team :(

Something to warm all of our hearts

smoldering brown eyes

the sports-writers of the world need chill with the bro-mance

At least this isn't a blowout

But if it wasn’t for Zac’s stupid interception, this is a tie game or even an OSU lead.

Anyone happy with the result? OU is winning, but it isn’t exactly a grand show they wanted to put on… yet.

may not be enough

i’m listening to saunders and crew and thinking people like this get to vote.

It won’t be Utah, they’re going to Sugar. Texas would play Ohio State of Boise State if Oregon State loses

I thinkUtah to the Sugar was based on an assumption that the Fiesta would take USC

If the Fiesta’s choice for a Texas opponent is Utah or OSU, I think they would take Utah. Remember that OSU has been to the Fiesta (or the BCS Championship Game in Glendale) four of the last six years.

OU's luck will run out soon
And that point differential crap was stupid

Don’t you think all three teams would have ballooned many of their scores if they knew that was a tiebreaker? We, for starters, would have definitely scored more against Kansas and A&M. I’m sure OU and Tech had several games where they could have ran it up. It’s a stupid point to put in right now.

it's the bourbon talking, not brent

i agree, stupid idea. let’s run up the score every week, just in case. plain wrong.

Exactly

It’s one thing to say “Team X” generally looked better than “Team Y” against common opponents.

But you can’t retroactively apply a specific point differential standard on a season when no coach was playing for that standard.

And on a go-forward basis, doesn’t that standard reward the team with the great offense rather than the team with the great defense just about every time?

ND is awesome, they had 9 yards of offense in the 1st half.
put the purple koolaid down now...

So IF we end up in Fiesta, would you rather want Ohio State or Boise St?? Those will be the only 2 options.

THE ohio state buckeyes. we'd murder them and get more cred than a boise win. nt
We gain nothing by playing either one...

I want USC if Oregon St can pull it out. Beating USC gives us a shot at a split national championship. Anyone agree/disagree?

could we split a national championship with ou??
AP National Championship

AP doesn’t count for the BCS, but the AP voters don’t have to vote with the BCS either. They can vote for us just to screw the BCS as well.

ONLY if

we’re ahead of OU in the AP tomorrow, but not in the BCS.

I posted about this in another thread. DO NOT root for this scenario, since the only way it can come true would require us to root for OU in the BCS Championship game, hoping that OU’s doing so doesn’t swing AP voters their way.

That would suck.

ah, good point.

would USC be an at-large in that scenario? i highly doubt the fiesta would be able to swing picking two of the hottest at-large teams to fill their bowl. somebody else is bound to snatch one of us if the other is picked, imho.

Utah is on the table too

See above

I'd rather have Ohio State

Even though Ohio State isn’t that grand this year, at least there is some benefit to playing them. Against Boise, it’s a no-win situation: If we don’t obliterate them, then we’re overrated. If they play us close or if they beat us like they did the Sooners, then everyone will talk about how the mid-major schools should go to the national title game. Blah blah blah…

And if we DO kill them

Then everyone will dismiss it: “Well, that was just Boise State.”

We'd still have a shot at Split Championship if.....

OU plays Florida in the BCS championship. Not sure if AP voters would spring for us though if we had to play Ohio St or Boise St in the Fiesta. If Oregon State would rally to win, then we’d get USC and a win there could do the trick for a Split Championship

What does this mean?

PB or anyone else,
Cincinnati won today and Mizzou lost. I am hoping for a close OU win and specifically Bradford doing nothing special in the win. However, what does the win mean to us. A kansas win helps us just as much as it helps OU doesnt it? Do we have a chance in the computers because to me it seems our only hope shifts to the human voters. Man I am worried. Any thoughts. Please someone comment…I dont have any finger nails or skin left…………………………..

WAIT A SECOND

We’re getting WAAAAY too far ahead of ourselves here talking about Fiesta opponents. The game we’re watching is close, and OSU can still win, or OU can win unimpressively enough that we’re #2 tomorroe.

Oregon 51 Oregon State 31.

USC to the Rose Bowl.

how many more mins?
what a shitty Rose Bowl...

USC will win another by 45 against an overmatched Big 10 team. Even USC wanted to go to the Fiesta (per the LA Times) so that they would have a chance at a split title against Texas/OU.

puke. not saying anything about jacquizz, ‘cause he must be hurt bad….but i’d play with a broken collarbone and two broken ribs….

our running back played with a broken collarbone yesterday
USC will try to stake a claim for the BCS CG

because now they’ll be the Pac-10 champ.

USC is blowing up Notre Dame

It is not even close.

Pac 10 sucks

Love the civil war score. No way did the Pac 10 deserve two BCS teams.

Yeah, but it officially makes the Fiesta Bowl opponent for the 2nd Big 12 team legitimately crappy....
Can USC slip into the MNC game?
If USC gets in over other one-loss teams right now

I’ll find every voter and beat their brains in.

Only by voters suddenly jumping them over other one-loss teams

And if voters haven’t done so already, they won’t suddenly decide next week that USC is better than Texas or OU. I don’t believe in the existence of the Vast USC Media Conspiracy. If it existed, USC would be top 3 right now.

They would be

if the Pac 10 wasn’t so weak this year.

This isn't looking good

Oregon is up by 20 in the 4th quarter. USC is now the Pac 10 champ. Get ready to start hearing about how USC belongs in the MNC game.

Even with an Ok State victory, this hurts our shot of making it to the MNC game.

Let’s say Mizzou beats Tech: All the country will say you can’t send Texas to the MNC game since they didn’t even win their own conference. USC must go over Texas. I bet the BCS voters vote USC ahead of us in this scenario.

I know I am getting way ahead of myself but the Oregon State loss really hurts us.

did anybody watch the abc halftime show?

I could have sworn that Lee Corso said OU has to do ALOT more to get the vote over Texas..

yeah he did. he said they basically need a blowout
Well if Corso said so..

I will sleep better tonight…. Dammit, I hate the BCS.

That's only in his opinion

Unfortunately, while Herbie agrees, he’s also cynical enough to think that the voters will still put OU ahead.

and with Mizzou losing

it doesn’t really matter how the humans vote because the computers should favor OU just enough to bump OU over us. The only thing that helps us is OSU winning.

USC is a joke

They lost to an unranked team. End of discussion.

So did Florida, but they are one win away.
But both OSU and Ole Miss have proven themselves to be better than what we thought at the time of their upsets

It’s not like either team lost to a team that would up 4-8.

No worries with USC

call me crazy but everything I’ve seen is USC is Rose Bowl bound with a OSU loss. I don’t think Texas has anything to worry about from USC>

USC, at least, is sufficiently behind in the computers
I hope you are right
I would tend to agree...

They have too much to climb to pass Texas, but never, ever, underestimate the power of the Media’s love obsession with USC.

If the media were truly obsessed with USC...

…they wouldn’t be ranked behind three other one-loss teams.

Agreed.

The Oregon State loss will hurt them a bit in the computers. I just don’t see the voters putting them high enough to overcome the computers.

sounds like bradford got his thumb stuck in Musburgers colon during the half
Evening

This afternoon everything was looking so good, BU vs TT. Now TT wins, Oregon wins, now OU is pumped up.

HATE HATE HATE HATE
If that's a fumble

Then that might be it…

whew

nice

way to run a quick play
Haha! Okie St. got away with that!
OSU got a break there
Wow, OSU caught a break there
Good quick snap there. Whew.
Oh, WOW

They ran the play already.

They dodged a HUGE bullet.

the football gods are with the longhorns right now
We were saying that during the Baylor/Tech game...
wow. lucky break with that fumble
Bob Stoops looked stupid on the sideline.

This has pretty much been a worst case scenario day for Texas

I was just saying the same thing to my wife

We are like 0 for 6 in games that directly affect Texas. It’s been a beating of a day for us.

This is much better than a fumble
YAY

why didnt musberger shoot his load for that?

He's pantsless now. Gotta be judicious with the jizz.
Rice over Houston

Does that give Rice 9 wins?

come on, they need to get it in the end zone on this drive. make a statement
Score TD

You can’t keep kicking field goals against OU

FOOTBALL GODS written all over it
I love Dez Bryant!
wow, huge play by robinson
RIDICOULOUS catch
that was awesome
Well, the fickle finger strikes...nt
JESUS! DEZ COMES UP HUGE ON THAT PLAY!
a few more minutes that i don't have to hear boomer sooner
So you thought.
that one was my fault yall
LOL

That’s why you don’t go for two too early.

Did that just happen?
robinson was down right?
lol bad life decision

it hurts but it’s funny

funny?
yes

i laughed hard, you just knew something bad was going to come of it

I sure hope he was down
I predict down.
mmmmaybe not. eww.
is that even possible?
Dumb ass Pokes
What.....just.....happened

meh

ground causing fumble??
Damn you Zac Robinson.
That's a hard damn way to wear out the Sooner DL. nt
funniest thing ive heard all night. nt
That's worth 2, right?
That's why

you never go for 2 until you HAVE TO!!

That's why you kick
no kidding...

boneheaded move…just STUPID

+4 drive i guess...

you win some you lose some

But

Considering the break they got, they still got +4 for that drive when they clearly fumbled. So I guess it’s a wash.

too too early

what is the “man” thinking?

Mack would have gone for 1
but mack isn't a man quite like gundy is
This game is a circus
something like bedlam?
all together now

SHIT

Most surreal drive I've seen in a while
hopefully we can get a three and out

& keep the game close

Well, that was Gundy's obligatory dumbass playcall of the day
Well, that's the first 2-pt conversion I've seen run back the other way in a looong time. I think the call to go for 2 was correct.
houston and utep a couple of weeks ago
Disagree

You don’t go for two unless you know you have to. Now, instead of being a field goal away from taking the lead, a field goal still leaves them down by 1.

I realize that's the common sense approach. I just think this was the right call in this game.
Going for 2

told either your offense you didn’t think they could score again or your defense you didn’t think they could stop them. Never go for 2 until you MUST.

who calls qb draw for 2 point conversion

unless your qb is um…VINCE YOUNG

Notre Dame finally got a first down

on the last play of the 3rd quarter.

dont think it was that dumb of a call to go for two

youre in field goal range no matter/one possession game. 2 makes a tie. would have been declared brilliant if he made it.

I wouldn't have called him brilliant

I’d just call him lucky. It’s pretty much rolling the dice. Sometimes, coaches make bad calls but the kids still execute them.

i think the call was good

zac just screwed up

going for 2

i do think it was too early to go for 2. The play call was questionable also.

Surreal Drive

I thought Kansas one TD against us was surreal

ugly game = good for us
It has been sloppy.
besides.

who counts on a defensive lineman taking it to the house from the 6 when they make the playcall

defense! defense!
How many TD returns does DeMarco Murray have this year?

He keeps getting lit up – wonder if worth the risk to OU?

45-35
where is the plane?
i think it was only during college gameday?

but maybe i’m lying

wait they dont call that in big 12
holding, come on!!!!!!!!!!!
he only was holding one arm, that's not a penalty in the big 12
Exactly

He only spun him around by one arm and didn’t complete a full take down. Hence, no holding call.

Why is Berman oushing NutriSystem on Versus?
WTF IS THAT BS!~?!?!!?
are u fucking serious
are you shitting me?
what the fuck

just happened????

Un-be-fucking-lieveable.
dude, they are the luckiest fucking team I have ever seen
how many ricochets is that dude gonna get

you have got to be kidding me…

Wow...

These are the most absurd tips ever.

i'm not even believing this. wtf is up with these tipped balls?
so much for the basketball gods
Does that crap help or hurt us? Win ugly?
I mean, really, is this a joke?
lol this shit here
style points

Whats the situation with style points?

Now you're down by

11, maybe you’ll get another chance to go for 2. Good job.

Almost looked like a planned ricochet as a second forward pass
okie state really has to stay in this.
gut-check time.
See

Instead of down 8, they are in the position of being down two scores and perhaps this time actually HAVING to go for 2.

luck be a lady tonight

shut up brent

come on "man" crunch time
Remember the tip

into the endzone against us that the second receiver scooped barely off the ground? I think Swoops sold his soul to Switzer (beezlebub) this year for another title shot.

OSU may continue to fight

But I don’t see them winning now. That’s just a bad break that shows that it’s not your night.

They need to go back to the run
cell phones + violence; great role models, verizon. nt
In communist Russia, the Walmart tramples you.

Running game looks good for OSU.

i dont hate tt...no reason to. gideon should have caught it...like in pee wee
Blowdart FTW.

Much funnier than the chair handcuffs.

Just got back

why in the hell would they go for 2 so freakin early

they had to make up being a point short.

so what happened with the flyover? did it happen? did they show it?

It was on earlier in the day

“45-35 on a neutral field” or something like that

cool thanks. i thought it was but never saw coverage of it

yeah they showed it...banner ona plane...
musberger mentioned it earlier
plenty of time left...

texas was down by 11 twice and we won..

The Pokes ain't the Horns...
i do loathe ou...and will gladly see tt in kc for a cowboy victory tonight
gundy hasn't even sat on his box and drawn on his clipboard yet. . . lots of time
actually he did earlier. Helluva head coach that doesn't pay attention when D on the field.
td time pokes
Maybe,

if we’re lucky (not), they’ll go for 2 again.

That last run looked

almost 1 step away from a big run.

stupid osu...

1st a 4pt swing and now give up a huge td, punk azz chumps!

zac robinson is playing like 2007 colt
zack is playing is ass of tonight
I'm about to nickname Zac "The Escape Artist."
why is their crowd not in it?
They keep trying,

but keep remembering they live in oklahoma.

heisman should go to colt...
ou

has’nt figured out z-rob yet

FACE RAPED!! come on refs..
Charlie Weis should be fired tomorrow
How much disgust can ND alums stand? nt
I hope not

Seeing ND be this terrible is very pleasing.

only problem is they have to pay him like 25 million to fire him
Hunter is good.
how tall

is hunter?

so um...who said OU's defense has gotten better?

can you imagine if ut had hunter?

and had better run blocking?
it wont matter

our line cant block like osu

Captain Obvious shoots down two point conversion call
ou is trying to strip everyball
Beavers done.

Oregon up 20 with <4:00 left.

Get in there!
Haha that's definitely what I just yelled at my TV.
ZACCCCCCCCCC ATTACKKKK
why idd he say touchdown comingback?
OSU is coming back (into the game)
Cause he's drinking harder than all of us
the option baby
Really a great call on 4th and 1, FTR.
and we got a game
good game.

although it’s making me not do any of my UT application essays

see there is lots of time left to make OU look bad
Zach is channelling his inner Colt. nt
So will Ou still be voted ahead of Texas?
Gotta see how this pans out. Who knows at this moment? nt
I think it's too early to tell

Still a lot of time to play. as far as I’m concerned, I’m still rooting for OSU

Oklahoma has only

been in 1 game where they had to play in the 4th quarter, and we know how that turned out.

i'm interested to see how fatigued OU gets going into this fourth quarter. especially their D.
i just hate the sooners soooooooo much
I second that statement
I don't want to play OSU in Stillwater next year...
why?

dez will be gone so will pettigrew

I thought Dez was still a Sophomore?
yea you are right hes a soph
So is

Crabtree, but he’ll be gone next year.

Boone T's solar cells will concentrate on Texas sideline, heat it to 135 degrees. nt
and wind power to keep the pokes cool?
Actually,

he’s huge into windmills in TEXAS, I think he is planning on using them to affect the wind at Memorial in Austin in the future.

gundy can coach...stillwater is fast becoming lubbock
Stillwater has been the Lubbock of Oklahoma for awhile now......scary place to play
now you kick

i guess to keep the momemtum

This Pacific Life commercial gets me every time
agreed it is possibly the best commercial of the season
I don't know

I’m kind of thinking about putting a baby in my belly for the German engineering myself.

After today we should at least avoid San Diego

Hopefully a BCS Bowl maybe the Orange against Cinci. And a Hiesman for Colt.

fiesta against the trojans
trojans going to rose bowl
so true...mind went blank about that
Not anymore.

OSU is toast. Oregon leading 58-38 with only a couple of minutes left.

tt picking cotton against ole miss
that iphone application

seems super creepy. i don’t want people to know where i am 24/7

Wait a second

So… you DON’T go for two there? WTF?

When the first try goes the OTHER way for two...

I guess it makes you think twice about going for two before you HAVE to.

ok instead down by a FG

that 4pt swing is gonna be the difference now!!!! stupid oklahoma people.

If that's true, that's perfect

Narrow OU victory is the best possible outcome.

OSU is due a turnover
Agreed.

It’s time for a Bradford screw-up.

ohio st. back in bcs with oregon victory
Which is bullshit.

Ohio State BLOWS.

But...

I would rather use Ohio state as a springboard into next year than Utah. More points with voters.

who plays loser of bama/florida?
Utah, more than likely.
Dangit, tackle that sucker!
#44... you have to wrap him up, don't go for the big hit.
musberger drives me up the wall
Two ppl hit Brown 3 yds behind the line....and he still gets it? Shit.
Another TD for Oregon
At no point in this game have I thought osu could win

I have only been thinking about how close they could make it… can they win???

sugar...utah maybe?
Mack Brown talking with the Moose.
wish mackbrown can just say stoops is an asshole
"We played 'em both ... and beat both of 'em"

Gotta love him.

Quote of the night
he sounds kinda sick
sell it sell it mack
He needs to

mention we are 4-0 in the last 4 years in bowl games and ou is 0-4.

so what happens if Fla beats Bama in Sec champ gm?
Did you hear Herbstreit

mention the blatant OU holding?

almost a fummbllllee fuuck
fucking holding again
in the middle. saw it.
i don't know why the big 12 never calls holding
wow. mack still on the phone. love it.
am I the only one seeing the holding

maybe i’m too biased

remeber this the big 12 there is no offensive holding
Mack:

“Well these are two good teams, we’ve beat both of them…”

say it say it

“45-35” bitches

damn Mack is awesome
love watching that TD by shipley!!
where's the plane? i want to see the plane again!
Neutral Field Playoff game. Mack says it all.

In the SEC or ACC we would be in.

fix the damn system...you go mack!!!!!!!!!!
Did 45-35.com arrange for those 2 injuries to let Mack speak too? Sweeeeet.
WTF, Musburger cut Mack off!
lets jump his ass!!!
He deserves it for sucking at his job anyway.
you've gotta be kidding me. HOLDING!
Need to hold OU to a FG here... BAD.
need to get a turnover here bad
lol

Hold hold hold HOLD hold Hold

too much time for bradford

need to pressure him

need to hold them to a fg...they had to cut him loose...
did tech

send their 39-33 flyover?

Don't think ABC cares.
They don't have the organizational skills to put

a campaign like that together

Loadholt dying of exhaustion getting the false start.
osu defense needs a play already

they can’t get these guys off the field.

holding

they never call it b/c then everything would be called all the time…

come on. cover somebody!
Does OSU know

it is legal to cover in the middle of the field?

how about it being legal to tackle?
that middle lane is open all day long for him...dammit
come on defense
damnit. blitz hurt them there.
1st and goal

Let’s get a hold to FG here. Pleeeeease

Could not agree more, PB.
DAMNIT OSU DEFENSE...

DO SOMETHING! (Not trying to be annoying with the caps, just REALLY mad.)

fgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfg..........or a pick 6!
Dang blitzer

looked like an idiot overrunning the handoff

at least he didn't facerape him
wearing down

missing more tackles, getting less pressure. the cowboy defense is gassing out i think

They need to adopt BU's TTU gameplan...

Which is to run the ball and keep the more dominant offense OFF the field.

Mack

did well but 25-7 in the 2nd half of OU/UT tells a more complete tale of our 2nd half dominance over OU, not just 45-35, but 25-7 in the 2nd half when the game was on the line

Dang Coz almost fucked up Brown's knee.
catch the damn ball
Should have

been picked. AAAAAH

blake gideon's cousin
awesome. rec that
CATCH THAT BALL YOU JERK
lmao Dumbass Bradford almost knocked himself out again.
Good grief, Air Bradford
who the heck does he think he is?

Reggie Bush?

jeez they've got to wrap bradford UP there
that's why he's a DB
The guy chasing

Bradford could have dove at his feet at the 10 and knocked him out.

lemon just saved the game.
it is their night. no doubt about it
are you serious
Fucking A

Even the fumbles bouncing back to OU

bounced right back in his hand
actually im not fucking surprised
How lucky can they get?????

fumbles and still scores.

I fucking HATE BRADFORD!
fuck me

luckiest team I have ever seen

is everything going OU's way?!

ridiculous…

WARRRRAGGDGADL+A+ASDGAIH

He dropped the ball, STOP HIM

how many freaking breaks are they going to get

fuck this game; fuck the bcs; fuck the sooners
that hand is bothering him though

i hate saying this but the cowboys NEED to aim for it

gut check time #2
jesus. btw, are you allowed to knock a dlineman to the ground and fall on him? i'm pretty sure that's illegal.
Called a pancake, completely legal if you don't hold or go low.
It's not a pancake if you knock him sideways and fall on top of him.

Not in my book anyway. A pancake is knocking someone on his butt.

Apparently they do better

when they drop the ball or knock the passes into the air instead of catching them.

Briles could learn a thing or two

from Leach and Stoops about sending a message on 4th down.

He cost Baylor the game.

fuck you musburger
PB can we get a new thread up?
Final Oregon State 38 Oregon 65

USC gets the auto berth

If they beat UCLA

like that will be an issue.

I guess that at least

leaves another at large bid, which it looks like we are going to need.

No Musberger, this is a team with a lot of LUCK
Think about it this way:

EVERYTHING is going right for OU and they are barely winning.

It’s ugly.

somehow i doubt the voters will see it that way
hopefully voters realize that
not sure if the rest of the nation will see it that way...

one can only hope though

i love that hit tho
Kirk made a point but didn't realize it.

It has been about lucky plays for OU. This win is about fluke plays.

Musburger, on the other hand, believes Stoops drew up those plays that way. Arse.

what are you smoking?

i want some of that

sorry-- this comment was meant for the post underneath
Jut pointing out that OU is winning, but ugly.
Mizzou is ultimate fail
i agree...i think mizzou has regressed from last year despite returning nearly everyone
guys I wouldn't worry...if OU wins I think u guys could still make NC game because I think Mizzo will upset them in conf champ gm
Mizzou was better

last year and ou was worse and ou still put it to them twice, ain’t gonna happen.

I'm hitting the Single Malt

Scocthy-scotch. I like scotch! I like scotch!

that 4 point swing is looming like a fat lady at 230am

That's really disturbing imagery...
come on weve all been there
No...

Can’t say I’ve ever had a fat lady loom over me in the middle of the night before.

yeah, but....

….OSU was lucky to get 4 pts out of it since it was a clear Hunter fumble. It stunk, but it could’ve and should’ve been much worse for the Cowboys.

Now, back to the fucking lucky Sooners….bastards

okie state needs to let it's d catch their breath. a long drive to wear out OU's line please.
gosh look at that run blocking...
4 straight TD drives by OU

with the defense throwing the kitchen sink at them and legitimately stopping them at least two of those drives without lucky bounces. that defense needs to keep their heads up

I dunno

It’s like luck to suddenly disappear in the 4th… I wouldn’t be surprised to see a turnover or two if OSU hangs in there

Robinson is keeping them in this
punished...good heavens burger
I'm surprised you can understand him with Stoop's dong in his mouth
He moved it to a different hole just to say that.
Okie State has run all over OU, will voters really want to see OU's defense against Florida's rushing powers?
maybe

….the high scoring game makes voters see that OU has no defense. Maybe we’re seen as more balanced? Might be grasping at straws….

we are; OU impresses the voters with their flashy offense but forget that defense also helps win games
We have the best defence in the Big 12

and if voters can’t see that… then F the voters

we will be effing the voters
coming down to the wire
bcs

voters/computers are not seeing how ou is getting the breaks

Lot of pollsters watching tonight, for sure.

More than against Tech. They got to listen to Mack’s comments, as well.

or like mack said: tt is out of it, so why is the head to head not considered? you know the pollsters could send the right message
Does UT have a better D than OU

Yes. They do.

Turn out the lights the party's over

at least we will not be going to San Diego

part of me doesn't want to give up

but now what’s the second best thing to hope so besides an OSU win?

for*** not so, don't know what the hell i am thinking
we need

2 osu td’s and ou shut-ot this qtr

Fat chance of that. Gotta hope OSU out-duels them.
OU's Lucky Scores

Pick Six in 1st Quarter
Two Point Conversion Fumble
Deflected Touchdown Catch
Fumble at the Goalline and recovered

Am I missing any?

i hope the voters are actually watching the game
2 fumbles at the goal line by bradford, both recovered
Not a score, but the other lucky catch that Gresham had.
i suppose last year in the nfl we should have given it to the pats...you know, the hot team. wait, they lost right?
Watch OU choke in Miami against Florida
and you know that big game bob will lay a big time egg against the gators
Meyer will straight out-coach him.
It would be kind of cool to see OU pantsed again

see games against USC and LSU.

bcs

unfortunately luck does not show up in box scores nor in computer models

Bradford's left eye has no eye-lid.

It’s creeping me out.

He is from Oklahoma, after all.
um he looks kinda asian...is that what you mean?
he lost it in a tragic trailer park accident
not to mention his eyes are on his temples
45-35

all of these people that are drooling all over OU’s nuts because of how good they look need to remember.

“45-35, we will never forget”
Bama might just beat the Gators people...Nick Saban is devililshly lucky
His recruiting tactics are also questionable...
and you know luck and skill go together...
yes according to musburger
Okay...then Bama will destroy OU
Now THAT is a throw and catch
this aint over yet
I think we should have made

the pr push a matter of which state you would rather live in, Texas or Oklahoma.

Florida could have done the same with Alabama, but won’t have to, they get to settle it on the field (oh yeah, so did we, supposedly).

and pettigrew finally gets an amazing catch
OSU keeps driving

That gives me hope

where has Pettigrew been all night?

Guy’s a stud!

It's 10pm

AND OU still SUCKS!

love that.....love it!
Musburger=moron

USC still needs to beat UCLA.

i've enjoyed some Austin box.

it was there. i took it.

Brent doesn't realize,

USC has another game?? Watch him mention it in passing when they come back from commercial.

You could hear his hitch when the Directors said in his ear, "You are an idiot."
love the gas pump commercials...truly...good job honda.
Bradford fumbled against us too

And didn’t lose any. He’s gotta lose one soon.

Maybe they'll just knock his left hand off entirely...

Yeah, wishful thinking, I know.

let's hope that left hand gets more screwed up..
They're waiting

to lay another egg in the NC game.

Against UCLA?

UCLA has knocked them off before, but I wouldn’t bet a Hershey’s Kiss on the Bruins.

So does Brent think before he speaks?
Awesome

And now I might go for 2

Screw it

Just go win OSU. Let Tech go to the Big 12 title game.

Wow Box could be done for the year after that injury
that sucks cause he filled in for reynolds
who went down for the count...during...

hmm…lemme see…45-35

We actually don't want to stress the fact that they lost their best defender in the 2nd quarter
TTTTTTOOOOUUUUUCCCCHHHHDDDDDDOOOOOWWWWNNN POKES!!!!!!
eerily similiar to our game...

osu hanging in and OU LB knocked out

I've dealt a few injurys to Austin box
I hate Brent
they will not go away, they will not go away into the night!

no shit Sherlock.

he makes himself laugh
I think he said "...into the Stillwater night."

And yes, Musburger is the guy that no one can understand how he still has his job. He has a red stapler.

Dez is a P-I-M-P
dezzy is the MVP. hands down. (FOR OSU, clearly)
That's the way

to go for 2, jump ball to your best player.

As opposing to tipping it to the best player
osu found dez's alarm clock

just in time for the 4th

osu HAS to get a stop. this OU luck has to stop.
How in the world...

…is Oregon State or Oregon going to hang with Okie State in the Holiday Bowl?

Now OSU needs

the big turnover.

dezrob could rob the sooners!
Dez

from Lufkin, should have followed Finley to Austin

TE

Colt with a TE would be no contest.

that was a sick catch. in double coverage, zac just lofted up a prayer. now we need a STOP!
Staying close. Lot of points.

May be ugly enough?

I don't think it's "ugly" . . .

…but it’s definitely close enough.

all in know is i cannot wait to see cincy in a bcs game........sarcasm off.
Cincy AND Boston College in th same bowl! Now THAT'S Must-See TV!
Not only should the big east not have

an automatic bid, they might should have their conference status revoked.

Eat sh** OU!!!!!!!!!!
OU keeps proving

UT has a superior defense

if someone ever mentions that OU's defense has gotten better imma punch that person in the balls
Only problem with this game being so close is

That both teams look pretty good which means OSU must win.

I think if OU wins this, the pollsters will give OU credit for beating a VERY GOOD OSU team on the road.

Disagree.
We'll surely find out tomorrow, won't we?
Yep. But what's the alternative? An OU blowout would have been a much more convincing argument for the Sooners. We already knew OSU was a very good team.
I agree with you but that's not what I was saying.

I was saying we wanted OU to win “ugly” in an “ugly game.”

Unfortunately, this game isn’t as ugly as we need it to be.

I’m very afraid OU’s argument will be, “look we won against a very GOOD OSU team at their home and Texas struggled against them at home.”

bcs

i have know idea how to feel about this game as related to bcs now. if osu would have kicked the extra point that ou ran back for a 2 points it’s a tied game.

style points?

with this WAC-like defense?

Well, at least that ensures that the Sooners will score quickly
Just when we thought OSU might catch a break here...
not even suprised anymore
wow

everytime i get my hopes up

Short field

C’mon D

That was a clinic of bad tackling
now is the time for an INT
Holding on the WR for the love of f'ing God
Nice

Strung out the screen. 2nd and 10

more more more points...no defense for OU! : )
Plaxico Burress shot himself?
right thigh i believe. what a dumb ass.
with his own gun in a nightclub
Excellent throw

They can’t stop him.

"accidentally shot himself?

How is that even plausible?

You have to be a really big idiot
to shoot yourself that is
Or just to bring a loaded weapon to a bar...
No matter what happens, Big XII South is really good.

Except for aTm.

Do any of these teams

that are horrible at covering kicks (read us) ever think about just kicking it out of bounds? Sometimes at key points the 40 would be better.

Or maybe try the onside, haha
They need to knock a ball loose

Otherwise, OU scores.

OU has all the luck...
murray's longest return of the year

at the worst time

WIDE OPEN - GIVE ME A BREAK!
Sorry - that was meant to address the TD
At least the D will be rested for the Drive that really counts....nt
this is a HUGE third down. FG here would make me so happy!
Come on DDDDDDDDDDD
I think he'll go for it...
I think they are going.
Do you go for it?
Please kick,

please kick, please kick.

Absolutely

you go for it.

get a stop this time please
wtf? who was supposed to have him covered?
The blizter, methinks
fucking a....gonna win the heisman for bradford in one night
my head hurts so badly because of this game
Just another OU game with no defense
OSU come back and score quick. . . show the lack of D, they are tired
i'm so not confident in the voters right now.
I don't think I've ever been confident in them. EVER.
What do you say...

They go for it on 4th again and convert.

I am speechless.

That and all the ridiculous plays and 3rd down conversions aren't helping...

OSU’s D has got to step up or this thing is over.

That's right, they've converted on EVERY key 3rd down.
One of these days

The fourth downs and the tips and the fumbles will catch up to them.

BCS game where they get blown out
God

I just hope it’s this game… Or better yet, in the polls

Usually BCS bowl games.
sadly it will be while playing for a national title they don't deserve
making the big 12 look weak . . . again
Hopefully that

will be against Mizzou. Think us chocking against Colorado and them going to the NC.

LOL to the other responses.
bcs

i think this game score does us in

Does OSU even know how to play defense

Does Gundy understand that you have to play MAN defense?

Since he is a MAN then maybe his defense needs to grow a pair and play MAN.

bcs

will not look at ou’s total lack of defense

i'm more confident in the voters now....OU is showing zero D.

Also, maybe Florida jumps OU in some polls and that helps bring us closer? You never know….won’t give up until I see the BCS standings tomorrow

bcs is in love with O...no question
Well guys I have no confedence in the voters.
At least it was a quick score
OSU is playing their hearts out on the field...

and every 50/50 call keeps going the sooner’s way: fumbles, tipped passes, interceptions, 4th downs.

couldn’t have happened to a better team.
/sarcasm

TDTDTDTDTDTD!! OMG!!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
THEY WILL NOT GO AWAY!
THEY WILL NOT GO INTO THE STILLWATER NIGHT!!!
Just when you thought it was safe!
If OU can't handle Robinson's mobility ......

you gotta love that matchup with Tebow

WTF Bedlam is right
Shipley lives!
hahahahahahahhahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

Shipley flashback

Strange things are happening. nt
So who should we be rooting for?
Everybody! Everytime! Touchdowns for all!
seriously?
Actually, it's a good question

At the beginning of the night, I wanted an OSU win.

Now I think OU has played itself out of KC…

I really hope you're right but I don't think you are.

I mean, the pollsters were just trying to find a reason to vote OU ahead of us 4 weeks ago. When we lost to TTU, we fell behind OU in both human polls. This was before OU beat TTU and just 3 weeks after we beat OU head to head.

I think the pollsters are still trying to justify keeping OU ahead of us and I believe this game will do us in.

Shipley clip

coming up

I was just getting ready to call it a night...
Unfortunately...

…this game is nearing “instant classic” status.

OSU please make a stop
Seriously..

They just proved that they are not a better team that Texas…

woah what the hell just happened
Yes, yes,

yes. Noone should want to see the ou defense against Florida (they’d be ok against Alabama).

Thank you Brent

For finally owning up

Whats the effn score? Been in the damn library!
44-41 with 10.5 left to play.
did they miss the PAT?
No.

PAT good. 44-41, OU.

Finally Musberger!

Bring on the UT support.

"now the voters are starting to see that the longhorns are looking better and better" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY? Somebody help me, stuck at school...
Musberger quote after OSU KO return for TD.
Horns gave up 24, Tech 20, OU 40. nt
no defense

or special teams

kiss ass seabass
wow

this is quite the entertaining game

The bad thing

Is that OSU’s defense got no rest.

Dez Bryant=All Heart!
Keep the faith guys, even the Berg is with us now
not sure

if that’s a good thing.

Dang

OSU just won’t go away

this game is perpetual sobriety

i keep drinking and just not feeling anything but pure anxiety

word i have no fingernails left
so freaking good...you never know. the guys on versus picked osu
that might be a bad thing
All offense

No defense or special teams. Texas is the most balanced team in the Big 12.

Dude... this could be all we need

OU has given up 41 points. Our overall D is superior without argument, even on the road.

haaahahhahahahahaha this game is ALMOST more entertaining than ou-Texas

i firmly believe that sam bradford has simply benefited from luck. the heisman is colt's.
It SHOULD be anyway...
they've got to start getting some pressure on bradford!
Bob Stoops looks antsy.
looking constipated as usual
Four kickoff return for a TD against OU

Read that, voters.

come on D line do some stunts!!
CHOKE - U
I'm praying for a pick-6 FTW
I think only a turnover stops either of these teams

They’re not stopping downs.

Agreed - I think it may come down to who ever has the ball last
nice point elusive
Voters

have to put Texas over OU..

Exactly...

Think about how easy Florida would run over this OU team.

Oh and Florida actually has the defense to stop them a couple times.

my gf's sister

just said all i can see is that both teams have bad defenses.

exactly! 45-35

oh herbie shut up.
How bout that OU defense?

Sooners look like a$s on D and special teams – how can voters put them ahead of Texas?

Okay, who are we going for.. or has the damage been done to OU?
if OSU can just keep it tight for the rest of the game...
Neither of these teams play any D
can ANYONE cover their te
Has enough been done?????
i have no confidence in the voters, so i would say no.
jesus gresham is just killing them
the zone is horrid

four defenders around the receiver and none covering

gees put on some pressure!!!
somebody cover gresham
Dead even

both teams have 425 total yards

They have to knock a ball loose

This isn’t going well.

OSU has GOT to have a turnover.
Voters should remember that Texas held OU to 35 .nt
they just zip down the field
I think it may be time to hope for OU to win in this carnage-filled game
fgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfg
Early in the game

OSU was shifting on defense every play and stopping ou somewhat. Now they are standing still and getting picked apart.

I hope OU loses on a pick 6
time for some onside kicks?

given both return games and the ridiculous offenses, i say yes

Atrocious defense

Wow.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!
At least that one wasn't on 4th down...
how do you leave iglesias open
whose man was that?
oh jesus. okie state's secondary is just losing it
NO DEFENSE

Let’s score, OSU…you’re up!

MAn

I can’t believe we have to deal with Bryant, Robinson, and Hunter next year. I’m scared

Is the game being seen as an epic Tech v. Texas Shootout

Or as a sloppy crap fest with no defense?

No Defense - Much Entertainment

Good teams? Noooo.

OK, root for a time-consuming, 7-minute OSU TD drive
wide open

this is an ugly ass game….entertaining but ugly

I vote onside kick if OSU scores
No wonder the national audience thinks Big XII has no defence

When was the last time either team punted?

late in 2nd i think
I want to punch Musburger right now
Yes, Brent, a team from Austin HAS stopped that machine
wow-- are we soul mates?
45-35 Musberger, you stupid f***er.
I like how they mention OU has 6 straight TD's, but what about OSU's 5 straight and about to be 6th?
if okie state just keeps scoring... i think texas will have a better chance since we actually HAVE a defense.
Can anyone stop this machine???

WE DID GOD DAMNIT

yeah-- brent; texas stopped that machine
Just posting that. Does Musburger mean Asshat in some language?
"can anyone stop this machine?" YES TEXAS DID!!!!!!!!!!!
Musburger

“Can anyone stop this machine”. Um, yeah, you were there Musburger.

he doesn't remember. he was drunk
And day dreaming about a naked Bob Stoops
Can anyone stop this machine?

Musberger is a tool

Maybe he was talking about his penis pump

i am hating musberger…can anyone stop this machine? how about their defense brent?

Musberger..

why doesnt he just make out with OU’s offense..jeez..

do we still root for OSU win or ask OSU to put up 50+ and lose to OU by 3?
50+ would be nice
i'm for an osu win. fuck ou.
I wouldn't be sad if the Burger had a stroke in the next few minutes...
would we

be able to tell?

ya, i'm sure Herbie would go crazy..
such a sooner sucker

OSU score again. . . keep it close
bcs

can the #2 give up 40+ points twice

They're #3... where they SHOULD be.
i will gladly have them win...i hate ou that much
time is running out

yeah how about OSU’s FIVE touchdowns against ou sh!tty defense.. these guys have had ou’s ballz in their mouf the entire game

Yeah Gundy needs to start onside kicking the ball next opportunity whats he worried about Oklahoma recovering and scoring a td they been scoring all night

musberger thinks he needs to add some drama
OSU D needs to make 1 play. Keep scoring and 1 play.
stupid two point converstion

that’s the difference

the higher the score is-- the worst it looks for ou
yeah, but if

OSU gets desperate soon they may give up pick 6’s etc. and the final score may not end up close enough.

are we going to know the BCS results any earlier if OU wins?

I mean I am a student graduating on the 6th and would like to know if my family is going to have to do a graduation party in a two foot radius of a TV or not

I'm still waiting for the in-game interview with Leach

’cause Tech is still relevant, right?

ah yessssss me too!
bradford is no heisman

colt threads the needle. bradford hits guys that are 15 yards open

And makes plays with his feet, something bradford can't do
unless he's playing against Texas D

Then he throws a pick

He's no MVP. Plug Halzle in there and he can do the same stuff.
Brent Musburger just decided the BCS

YES TEXAS FREAKING STOPPED THE MACHINE!!!!

OU lost their backup MLB.

Their defense will get even worse now.

<strong>I HAVE ZERO FAITH IN THE VOTERS!

Dude - USC's "greatest team of all time" only put up 38 in the MNC
musberger finally gets the UCLA note....ha ha
!@$&!@$&!@#@$%&@!#&($@&!($&!(@$@!&($&

Damnit OSU.

ouch. not what we needed
crap

well if they go on to play Florida or Bama, it won’t be pretty..

only took 3 1/2 quarters to register a sack
Huge sack
best team in teh country...
That was their first sack he said.
The first

2 point try would have been a sack, wish it would have.

what sux is how many texans go to ou...nauseating.
More will

be going once they back into the NC game.

New Member...

Longtime fan of the BON, and just have to say for Texas to get screwed in this manner is just unforgivable as a football fan!

We're not screwed yet
OSU just hired Greg Davis.
almost ball game right here
Well... NOW they decide to play D.

Come on Pokes… Please?

let's look downfield, zac. please
i'm starting to feel better about things....

we’ll see….if this score holds up, everything may be ok.

OU makes the 1 play
(*&*&%^&$^%$^$ you ou
What? OU didn't catch the tipped ball?
And now comes the biggest defensive series of the year

If it get to 18, I start worrying again

Gotta catch that
OU would have caught that tipped pass for a 90 yd td
Game over

Dropped pass did them in.

another short field...ugh.
that was a horrible punt
He tried rugby and failed.

here comes OU’s chance to run up the score now………geez!

Honestly - why not just go?

OU will be on the 20 in two plays

lots of time left. . . again
Hey - congrats on your graduation!
and again, this time the turnover is essential
pick 6 please
They'll punt it before they throw here.

OU TD, and its officially over

Hopefully the damage has been done
Not much room there? Only like 10 yards.
I would have just thrown that to Bryant.

Who cares if he’s triple covered. Haha.

Well it looks like osu just shit the bed

Thats Game nt whills
oh brent, show what their d gave up...you effing homer
Excuse me, hasn't the OSU offense been just as dominant?
Defense is finished

OU is scoring to balloon their win.

Media/Broadcaster Thought Processes

It’s amazing that after the Red River Shootout, the Media is in love with Texas. And then we lose on one of the greatest plays in the history of football and now everyone forgets about us and thinks that Oklahoma won the Shootout and should just be crowned the National Champion! I dont’ get it…

defense is just tired
If I hear

the goddamn Okalahoma fight song one more goddamn time…..ever.

Just when you thought Burger couldn't be any more gay...

oh clearly they adjusted… they only have a million points scored on them… idiot commentators

There was an obvious

block in the back on that run, guess that is like holding.

brent with a UPS reference?
420 yards and 41 points

yeah #2 team my ass..

one to away from interesting
i hear their argument of win is a win...
especially since it's away from home in a rivalry game.
You haven't

heard Venebles name at all tonight, have you. Couldn’t mention it enough last week.

Texas vs. Oklahoma St.

Didn’t we hold this team to 24 pts.?

is it impossible for them to mention that we beat OU?
OSU is defeated....

They look like they’re losing their will

"in the past five games"

okay well, can we all just say for the record that oh let’s see… six games ago OU played TEXAS and the final score was something like 45-35.

HOW DO WE LOOK NOW

OU didn't look dominant tonight. Far from it.
Sorry guys I think OU jumps us. Sucks but that is what is gonna happen.
The only good that can come of this...

Is that the UT team get’s so fired up by this wrong, that they drop a 60-21 bomb on OU in the next RRR to make a point

o ye, of little faith
can we credit osu d with an assist tonight?
No kidding

OU caught some lucky breaks, but it’s inexcusable to give up that many fourth down conversions. A stop on any of those would have changed the game.

this delay calling at the line is well, a little gay
i don't think so

i’d have loved to see colt take a little more time off the play clock when we were driving against tech

Really, this has been a WORST case scenario with the results all day today. Texas in big trouble tommorrow

Huh?

We got the strong performance from OSU. Aside from a Baylor win, that was #1 on my list.

"Since the loss the Texas..."

When they mention Oklahoma’s vaunted offense, they always say, “Since the loss to Texas…” But they say it so cavalier as if that loss shouldn’t count against the Sooners.

If this wasn't an ugly win

then what is???

omg, the style points convo
Well, if Lucky-Fuck-Bradfuck wins the Heisman I'll be pissed.

But I’ll be more pissed if OU jumps us…

thats right herb
Herbie! Herbie! Herbie!

IS OSU GONNA PLAY SOME FUCKEN D NOW

HERBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
knowing stoops he would pull a fake fg here...
Block this crap and return it for a TD
What style points?? Listen to Herbie
mussy could never say that...
What'd he say?
That for him it ultimately comes down to the head-to-head
Many thx.
And not the Musburger-Stoops style head-to-head
This is beginning to look like a six-point OU win...

…which would be quite OK with me

Now they hold them to a FG...
Earlier in the game that tipped ball on 3rd down would have been caught for a TD.
If OSU can march it down for a TD now...That'd be swell.
one more td by osu would be perfect
i bet brent whacks it pretty good
NO STYLE POINTS.

Oklahoma shouldn’t get style points for this…period…

if okie state can score once more i think we have a good case

added to the argument: texas actually has a defense.

really, do we have a chance to be ahead in the bcs tomorrow???
Yes
I think we do. I really do. We'll see if the 45-35 campaign and the lobbying

Made for a more educated electorate. We’ll have an idea once the polls come out early in the morning.

Yes

But a significant amount of voters would have to get their heads out of their rear ends.

It's actually not that significant a number that have to switch
OU has 4 first place votes in coaches poll

Anyone think they’ll keep them?

I think we’ll catch up in the human polls.

I think the Gators will take #2 back in the Coaches' Poll too.

Which helps.

Absolutely -- great point!

We’re helped as much by a voter swapping OU & Florida as we are with a Texas/OU swap

Defense...

Last time I check TX leads the Big 12 in defense…thanks!

We have a good case already
the bama shutout is helping us right now
One more touchdown

would be great.

hahah- i would like ou vs. utah
I don't like seeing the big XII get embarrassed (esp. by non-bcs teams)
Did Brent

forget last year ou v. West Virginia, that was a BCS game.

We have a great case but I voters are stupid.

silky51 ARE YOU RETARDED. THIS IS THE BEST THING to happen to us. #2 does not get 41 points scored on them. nor touchdowns off kickoffs, nor held at the 3 yard line. i

Chillax on the personal attax.
sweet dump pass...
howmany points did texas yield to the pokes? comparison pls?
They'll just say

how many did we score on osu? much less and at home.

Mizzou loss was a huge hit to Texas in the computer rankings, so OU will be slightly ahead of us in computer polls more than likely. Which means when the human polls come out, we need to probably be slightly ahead in the total vote count between the two human polls…………..or we r toast.

Only one sound can sum up today's games.

Click Here.

Wow that's it..........
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
Great...

Nice going, Robinson. Turnovers did your team in.

Zac Robinson hates Texas
Now they're going to punch in another fucking TD and make it look like a blowout. FUCK!
Does the OU band play their stupid song more than other schools?
I think Musburger just

sets up a microphone right by their band.

USC was reallllly bad.
Stoops is going for blood on offense

believe you me.

Bradford goes for the end zone
once more for emphasis:

FUCK

wow. robinson just ruined everything
wow

well thats just that…

thats like punching mack in the nuts
what time are the polls released tomorrow?
Rather it be ya'll

in the conference game and not these bastards. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Texas-Florida Championship game either. Good luck tomorrow with the rankings and whatnot.

Hoping you guys would make it. Congrats on a great season.
lets see how little class stoops has
not ugly enough i think

for the tons of voters who will read a 54-41 or 61-41 box score in the morning and miss the point.

Knock these mother effers out
Style points...

If I hear “Style Points” one more time…

It's more like no-class points for OU
WEll Stoops like to run up the score.
Will the BCS rankings also determine the Heisman?

OU goes to MNC —> Bradford wins?
UT goes to MNC —> McCoy wins?

It seems that Colt has reemerges as the front runner...

The head to head win might be enough for him to beat OU even if OU advances. It will be a very close vote. No real consensus there and Colt’s running might be the deciding factor (10 td’s).

I think it'll be the opposite,

the screwed team will get the consolation heisman

yeah, tt escapes BAYLOR at home...get the eff out of here with the three way bs
come on pokes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry,

and I know it’s wrong, but I still blame all the stress of this weekend on Gideon. Not a whit of the heartache from today would have mattered.

No need to still be blaming the frosh
Don't leave Thomas out if you're going with that.

He got hit in the numbers.

You're right. You should blame a freshman that played amazing ball for us this year.

That’s the classy thing to do.

Coaches Poll out at 11 am, Harris Poll out usually around 3pm……..wouldn’t be surprised to see delays though

one knee would end this... stoops wont knee it the d-bag
They all hate on the horns

why get mad when even if ou wins jumps us goes to the big 12 and win we still beat them i just think they hate us cause where texans

osu not even using their to's...give up much
Sigh

Don’t mention Gideon. It’ll just give me a headache.

To be fair, I blame the game on GD in the first half more, though. And our receivers who weren’t catching jack.

Yeah,

but if we had not made all those other mistakes, Tech still could have won by countering what we were doing, though our chances of a win would have gone up. Had Gideon’s mistake not been made we definitely would have won as long as we could make 1 safe snap.

no way these piss holes should be in front of us

STOOPS IS A CLASSLESS ASSHOLE BRADFORD IS STILL FUCKEN QB’N

what the hell is gundy doing???

this game is over. period

The Moose was campaigning for running up the score earlier, but he doesn't like it?
ou sucks

Bradford suck dude lets see him without his o line

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
way to play your fucking starters
thanks alot gundy. shithead
YOU SON OF A FUCKING BITCH:!
fucking holy cow shit mother fucker
OU is headed to Kansas City folks.

This sucks.

are you kidding me.

why wouldn’t they run it up

We wanted a close game, right?

Isn’t that what we all wanted? A close game that OU wins at the end?

Well, this one was in doubt up until 8 minutes in the fourth and OSU scored 41 points. How is this not what we wanted? It wasn’t as beautiful as Tech sucking it up against Baylor, but this was a lot closer to what we needed than not. A 65-21 thrashing would have cemented a spot for OU. We can still be optimistic.

How many voters will see that?

Or how many will woodenly look at the final score?

There's only a given number of voters out there

but you’d think they’d be particularly sophisticated in football compared to the average fan. I expect them to appreciate the nuance of the situation. It’s rare that an outside populace can decide a conference titlist, a one-year deal if Mack has anything to do with it.

Final score doesn't

look close now, it’s 11:45 in the east, and saturday night everywhere, far fewer voters than you think were watching.

Oh gosh

Please, voters. Punish Stoops for this.

wow

stoops is a douche..

Could be the most meaningful meaningless TD in history there.
Gundy just got his money from the OU boosters
this is just kind of classless bob. i know you weren't trying, but it's getting that way.
The hell he wasn't

every starter was in there.

ugh......

take back any positive thoughts about OSU tonight

now we are screwed by the pollsters that didn't watch the game
that wasnt td play....
Good night....45-35.....Texas fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....the vodka has made me sleepy.....may the human voters treat us kindly. nt

THEY COULDNT JUST KNEEL DOWN

mack takes the knee...you cannot teach character.
Classless when you can take a knee.

Style points versus unsportsman like. Too bad the system rewards this. It makes me sick to my stomach. I wish OSU would have won.

No class. Fuck you Stoops!
what time will the BCS come out tom?
STOOPS your an ASSHOLE
hows that for class

mack would have had chiles take a knee. stoops? nope, hed rather rub shit in their face and laugh at their tears

you cannot teach character folks...stoops lacks all of it.
fuck the ou band....bitches
Stoops is a steaming bag of shit
Screw Stoops, screw ou, screw Musburger
how many voters do you think DIDN'T watch the game and therefore won't know how close this game was?
all of them. lol
Same ones that missed the RRS.
fuck stoops and mushberger fuck
Why don't they fucking onside kick it...

And try and punch another 3 through

because they dont give a shit about Texas
This his better come back to haunt these assholes

No class pissant douchebags. Mack would NEVER do this.

Gundy did it to himself by calling a timeout with 30 secods left so he could have time to "comeback"
i hope stoops gets stabbed in the nuts by bevo.
Um, are the fans saying "F you?"

And ABC does not notice?

No they are saying OU
Yeah,

that’s the chant we try to sneak “sucks” in real quick between their ous.

Effn Gideon. I love the kid.

But, if OU jumps us, make no mistake about it, that play will go down in UT"s History of Infamy right next to Phillip Geiggar’s roughing the kicker penalty against Colorado that is credited with costing Texas a MNC appearance in 2001 against Miami.

Dude get offf the kid.
YOu may

want to rephrase that.

He's a great player, and has exceeded all expectations...

I am simply pointing out that, unfairly, he will be blamed by many for costing Texas a Big 12 Championship and MNC appearance.

You're putting it in the Buckner position.

Gideon wasn’t in on the winning play. It’s not like Texas didn’t have opportunities to win the game on either side of the ball. It’s the team that took the hit and playing youth is a risk this team took: you don’t blame the players, you blame the coach, for they were willing to take the risk because this team needed the rewards. Gideon’s best play has served us well and doing this undercuts that respect for his overall play.

It's tough, I agree with both of you, there's no easy way
Um, of all the players to blame against CU (cough, cough), you pick GEIGGAR?!?
I know Simmshad a greater role in the meltdown

But Geiggar’s roughing penalty killed Major’s Rally. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Yeah, no doubt, I remember a certain QB (no names mentioned, *Chris Simms*) who threw

4 picks in the first half and the 3rd pick caused our star RB (Cedric Benson) to get a stinger when he was forced the tackle the Colorado player that made the interception that held Benson out of our bowl game.

Applewhite almost brought us back but it was too little too late.

I wonder what the f-bomb count for this thread is...
Does "eff" count?
eff that..

only real F bombs should count

I heard OU had more f bombs on theirs. nt
What a classless fucking assnugget.
fuck. I hate OU. and fuck Tech for doing this to us.
fine, OU won by 20, we beat A&M by 40
stoops is the lex luthor of college football

will do anything to fuck over the decent men he calls colleagues

Mike Gundy didn't even say a word to Stoops

I WONDER WHY……

i feel like shitting myself
How do you spell class less?

STOOPS

super deuche stoops
LOL Horns down in the background
was that fat fuck throwing horns down?
"Yeah, you know, I dunno" -- Sam Bradford

DID HE SAY GIDEON

Texas Defense >>>> OU Defense

seriously, they shouldnt be ranked above us..

What was bradford thinking when he went airborne?

“I hope someone penetrates my ass with their helmet”

+10000000000000000000000000
they hate UT so much...cuz they know we own their asses of late...fiesta or miami...ou will know they got beat by the horns this year.
YOU LOST DICK SUCKER
Stoops in a CUNT!!
I really don't want to know whose
Yikes.

It was like the room got all quiet and we all heard that word.

he looks like he should be on the brady bunch movie #3
no help whatsoever from underdogs today
stoops=douche with enormous man-tits
screw this shit.....i hate ou so much it burns.

is there a bomb that can blow up in the exact size and shape of the OU campus?

BRADFORD

WAS BRADFORD IN THE MOVIE PLANET OF THE APES

Yeah

He got cast as the gay ape. Appropiately.

If we end up playing Fuckin UTAH, I'm gonna choke a bitch!
after choking Utah

I already hate the Utah Jazz after what they’ve done to my Rockets, they must pay

We're gonna play Boise or Ohio State.

Which, I dare say, sucks WORSE than playing Utah.

Hey, beating anyone is a certain amount of fun.

Really, we can’t pull an OU on Boise State.

Good night.....hope the BCS fairy visits us.

It’s 10:52 and……

Yes, OU still sucks.
Unfortunately

Between the Big Four in the Big 12 South (UT, OU, Tech, OSU)…

Only one team has beaten the other team IN THEIR HOME FIELD.

OU 61 @ OSU 41

My friends, this is not looking good. Go Mizzou…

But OSU didn't beat any of the other three.

Really, all they have done this season is beat Missouri (whose only accomplishment has been beating 5 win Illinois).

Fuck Stoops
Fuck Bradford
Fuck Gundy
Fuck Austin Box

Minion coaches

Just a reminder, Stoops has the following evil spawn voting for him in the coaches poll, we’re screwed:

•Mike Leach, Texas Tech head coach

Advertisement
 
Stoops’ first offensive coordinator now has Texas Tech in the top 15 and competing for a league title

•Mark Mangino, Kansas head coach

Replaced Leach, now the Big 12’s returning coach of the year after leading Jayhawks to Orange Bowl

•Mike Stoops, Arizona head coach

Took over at Arizona in 2004 after coordinating dominant defenses in Norman

•Chuck Long, San Diego State head coach

Largely responsible for Jason White’s Heisman Trophy winning career

•Kevin Sumlin, Houston head coach

Becomes first black head coach in major Texas college football history

•Bo Pelini, Nebraska head coach

Boyhood pal of Stoops charged with resurrecting Husker program

they are loving this.

they are LOVING this.

we beat OSU by only four in austin.

they beat them by 20 in stillwater.

45-35 means nothing. head-to-heads have just been flushed.

lets go tigers? lets not hold our breath.

OU Owns Mizzou.

Mizzou is garbage.

yeah, we beat them, too
Great

I hope the Mizzou loss isn’t the deciding factor, because then I’ll kill someone.

Well I can be happy with the fiesta bowl.
What are they saying on sportscenter?

“This victory looks a lot bigger on paper than it really was.”

thanks

It was bigger and better

Than UT’s victory over OSU….

Does OU play defense?

If you go to the National Title against Florida, you’ll just embarrass yourself and the Big XII again.

can't spell douche...

without the OU

Beautiful

Enough style points for you, Longhorns??

OU just wallopped the same team the UT BARELY beat in their own home, 28-24….

And Stoops is pure class at the end, he’s not going to whore himself out like Mack has all weekend. Whatever happens, happens…..

45-35
39-33

Is going to keep you from KC and Miami…..

Neutral field. Did I mention that? I was there. If you had the means, I'd have highly recommended it.
Boise State. West Virginia.

OU might get there, but I have no confidence that they can play with Florida. The best team in the league would be in Arizona.

But Texas still beat OU.
are you still mad about getting your ass kicked in the RRS?

pure class my ass. he whored him self out a lot last week. even took a shot at florida. he’s not saying anything anymore because the voters had you guys up after he whored himself out.

look, i’m all for politicking if it’s what it takes. every coach has been doing it. but saying that stoops was somehow “above it all” when he had all his starters in with a minute left in the game and a 20 point lead, following his press conference last week, is just silly.

Walloped?

You guys barely held on and got lit up by this team. The final score is deceptive since you ran in a meaningless touchdown.

Idiot Sooner.

idiot sooner=redundant
Did you even watch the UT-OSU game???

I suspect not….

28-24, OSU throwing into the endzone with a chance to beat Texas…. Was THAT a convincing win? Over a real team?

I was at that game

Did I even claim that we killed them? Nope. But we played solid defense. Unlike you fools tonight.

Leave it to a Sooner to bring in statements that aren’t even said to cover his stupidity.

Scoreboard.

The arguments haven’t been changed. If anything OU’s defense looked mortal after the Tech annihiliation. It’s gonna be close.

Please, just ignore this troll
Guys, it's going to be really, really close.

I don’t think OU is going to jump us by several BCS Points here, this is going to be very close. Let’s not forget that Texas had the national stage on Thanksgiving, they could have changed many minds that night.

And remember that Florida...

…looked much more impressive than OU today. They HAVE to steal some votes from OU.

Any votes FL steals....

Would come from UT as well

No they wouldn't.

UF is ahead of UT in every human poll.

If you're that ignorant about how the polls are done, please just leave right now

Coaches poll out first at 11am………….that will tell the tale, praying 45-35 resonates and that 42 vote total is erased………if not , then go Mizzou!

Oh, how failing to punch it in on 4th-and-1 against OSU hurts now

Style points, you know

Can’t wait to see Florida obliterate OU

HOW DOES STOOPS SHOW CLASS WHEN HE DOESNT EVEN PULL IS STAR FUDGE PACKING QB BRADFORD WHEN THEY HAD A 10 POINT LEAD IN THE END OF THE 4TH QTR THEY DIDNT EVEN KNEEL DOWN ON THE BALL MAN I HOPE THIS BITES THEM ALL IN THE DICK

OSU took the time out, idiot

and with a 13 point lead, nobody does that. OSU didn’t quit, even at the end….

BON'ers. Let's not take the bait. Everytime this guy posts, ignore or reply with "Scoreboard" or "45-35."
I vote for "ignore"

Don’t feed the troll

lol You are a retarded son of a bitch aren't you?
Classless, Absolutely Classless

Any respectable coach takes a knee with 25 secs to go. What a horrible end.

And they would have the 2nd team offense in the game, not the entire 1st team offense.
I have no problem with letting Bradford finish the game.....

BY TAKING AN EFFN KNEE.

I think the voters need to review Colt McCoy's 4th quarter highlight reel against A&M to remind them about "class"
Just like Mack did against A&M..............

No wait….. that was Chiles running the offense and scoring while UT was 33 points up, yeah…. pure class…. Of COURSE Mack would take a knee…..

Idiot

here's an idea

lets allow voters to ignore the entire first 9 weeks of the season and take all of their votes into account considering only the last 2 weeks. thats fair, right?

oh yeah, they should also nevever take into account any big 12 defenses ever showing up and just take qb passing yards into account. its the only rational way to tally this thing up.

Seriously, that was a pitiful show.

Notre Dame could have put up 21 on them tonight.

Sam Bradford = Butthead

a la Beavis and Butthead.

Looks like him, talks like him, has the same IQ as him.

What wins games? and What wins Championships????

UT 28, OSU 24
OU 61, OSU 41

and also..
UT 49, A&M 9
OU 66, A&M 28

Since when does having an awesome offense but no defense get you votes, We will see if they just want a million points on the board to increase ratings

Don't forget OU 45, KU 31
I can put a chart together if you would like....

SAM BRADFORD IS A FUCKEN TWOT LITTLE BITCH NEEDS TO GET HIS FUCKEN SHINE BOX OUT

can we disable caps for the sake of angst? nt.
Please.

Type rationally! Use exclamations!

Lol @ Texassooner

pleading his case on a longhorn site…

Ignore!!!
I dont remember...

any yellowbelly criminals running in the night and hiding in ditches to steal any Texas land, so how can you have a texas sooner???

THAT LITTLE MONKEY BRADFORD IS A CLASSLESS JOKE! HE COULDN’T EVEN HOLD COLT’S JOCK STRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Caps lock: Turn it off.
Take that shit to another board
Watching the postgame interview...

Bradford deserves no shot at the Heisman. When you are surrounded by NFL talent, you are not the MVP. Bradford just throws shit up and hopes his guys get to it (as evidenced by the MANY tipped balls). The only MVP in the Heisman race is Colt McCoy.

is their any chance of tech, at this point, of keeping us out..

of any bcs game?

Zero chance
I dont see it....

Forgetting how to get to norman last week, and then having to fight off a freshman bear will pretty much knock them completely out

We either go to the Fiesta or the MNC with a Mizzou win next week.
btw, right now, after being robbed at gunpoint in bolivia

listening to christmas music and watching charlie brown christmas is the only thing keeping my mood up after this dismal game. so give me good news.

You're not in Mumbai.
You don't root for aggy
You're presumably not a graduate of the University of Oklahoma
Tech is officially Cotton-bound at this point
Unless Mizzou wins next week...

…then I don’t know what the hell happens. But Tech is out of the BCS.

for future reference

1. schedule chattanooga
2. run up the score every chance we get
3. beat tech

no.

just beat tech.

look at it this way....

Texas offense < (just barely) Oklahoma offense
Texas defense > Oklahoma defense
Texas special teams > Oklahoma special (ed) teams
Result: Texas > Oklahoma

too bad these two teams didnt play eachother at a neutral site to actually decide whos better in a completely fair way……..
oh wait…..

You are forgetting....

That only the last 5 or 6 games of the season count, and October is not even a real month.

I like the fact that we have more posts in our Bedlam threads than CC Machine has in theirs.

Just goes to show who cared more about the game.

OU AWFUL REPRESENTATION OF BIG 12!!!

OU SUCKS AT REPRESENTING THE BIG 12 ,,,, THEY JUST WANNA LOSE IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN !!!!! SO AT LEAST IT WONT LOOK AS BAD AS LOSING TO UTAH, (NOTICE HOW THEY HAVE DONE BOTH) SUCK IT SOONERS ,, YOU CAN BUY ALL THE MEDIA YOU WANT BUT YOU CANT BUY CLASS

Cool it with the caps and state your arguments in a rational way.
Chill out with the CAPS.
NOOOOO IM PISSSED AND I WANNA KICK EVERY OU PLAYER IN THE SACK
Feel free to do that, but stop yelling around here.
My bad after watching stoops talk I just wanted to yell
Does anyone else

want to fire a rocket propelled grenade at the OU band everytime they play that MOST ANNOYING Oklahoma fight song every 5 seconds?

My Girl started to hum it, she couldnt help it, gotta press mute whenever there isnt a play
you have a mute button for your girl?
Now that's a million dollar idea.
Hell yeah - and you need a back-up for sure; it's a two-fer. nt
I just told her it was the OU song, and she quit

Ive trained her well

Good. Keep thinking that. nt
Hey, all I can say is...

Jan 8th is our anniversary, and we are already making alternate plans, pending UT playing that night

First things first. nt
i have absolutely no confidence in the voters. does that make me a horribly pessimistic person?

coming down to the wire, i just can’t see these voters actually remembering the month of October. You know, where Texas played top #11 teams four weeks in a row? Or the neutral field win, or the dropped INT by one of our true freshman safeties, or the fact that Mack Brown actually has some class and could’ve run up the score in almost every game this season…

waiting for the polls is KILLING me.

Prepare to be useless tomorrow waiting for the polls
Realistic is more like it

45-35 should settle the debate, but it won’t. The sooners are going to land-thief their way into our title games.

They will sneak in during the night, and be on the field the next day

They’ll say, well we got here first, we are supposed to play, we cant help that you showed up when you were supposed to and we cheated

My new favorite Sooner quote has to be:

“Yeah, you know, I dunno.” – Pure Thespian, Lucky Fuck Bradfuck

Bradford = Butthead
No matter what Happens, we'll always have this

still gets a belly laugh every time
Screw Ou.

They backed their way into the Big 12 Title game that year too. Freakin’ clowns.

Seriously though.....

When are we gonna catch a break like OU does every single damn year?

When we beat them, they go to the Big 12 championship. When they beat us, they go to the Big 12 Championship.

F the Big 12.

Does anybody have any good ideas.....

On what to do tomorrow waiting for these polls to come out, I can only watch so many movies, and plus ill be checking the computer every 5 mins

go to church, and pray
Mark May is questioning the OU defense. Hear Hear.
and Holtz claims OU and UT are "different teams" at this point

so why the fuck do you play before November?

Holtz hates Texas...

Undoubtedly a holdover from his Arkansas days.

Holtz is a complete putz

He’s been on OU’s jock for weeks now. Every time Mark May tries to put him in his place, he slobbers his way out of the discussion with babbling mumble jumble.

this sucks

mack takes the high road every time, we beat ou head-to-head and we now face the very real possibility of watching two teams we beat play for the conference title next week.

Mack got in some good comments with kurt and herbie in the middle of the 3rd

and you know everyone was still watching, because it was still within 3

"These are 2 great teams, and we know that, we beat both of 'em."
that one was priceless
Lou Holtz...

wants Texas and OU to be in the BIg 12 CG to decide it on the filed (leave Mizzou at home).

Guess what it’s been decided on the field already.

He says they are different teams today, comapred to then.

Yes, and they will be different next week, and the week after, but we don’t replay every game every week.

45-35 stands above all.

Using his logic

Do we just dismiss the Tech game then? After all, everyone will agree that Texas is a VERY different team than what we showed that night…

Furthermore, it’s not like OU played awful that game. Bradford tossed five touchdowns, for crying out loud. But we pummeled their run game and we carved up their weak defense and weak special teams.

Does anyone else realize that Stoops has around 10-12 minions in the Coaches Poll?

You know how they’re going to vote and since it’s not the final poll no one will know who voted what way.

ill be on an allnight bus to la paz in a bit

with thomas pynchon’s gravity’s rainbow to distract me from a landthieves robbery of our miracle chance.

Blame the Big 12 for this mess.

Hopefully they will clean up the rules before next year.

Gideon not his fault

Gideon’s fuck up true but that kid know’s he did but what can you expect form a trure freshman

Please, back up slowly and let the nice lady help you back into your padded room
Mack, how many beers you had tonight?
I hate Baylor

If only they could play two quarter games. If only.

Coaches Poll at 11am; Harris Poll around 3 pm We got to be pretty close to even with OU in the total vote count.

It could be a lot worse... look at Tech.

They just had the best season in their history, yes in their history, and they are going to the CoTTon bowl When it comes down to it, Mack has only gotten UT to 2 BCS bowls, so at least we are guaranteed to accomplish getting to a 3rd.

clinging to hope

that pollsters will note:
texas wins with class
ou has no defense
the anti-kneel down
45-35

How many think that we might see a split national champ????
Not going to happen. The Big 12 and SEC champion will settle it on the field.

Maybe, maybe if USC had a better offense (and not struggled with some crappy Pac 10 teams) there would have been enough media pressure to create another MNC game in the Fiesta (especially if Texas got in). I think USC going to the Rose Bowl kills any chance of a split national title. Texas beating Utah, or OU beating Utah, or USC beating Penn State won’t do it.

agreed, no shot now……not with Ohio State or Boise State slated to go to the Fiesta Bowl

If I was a Harris voter

I’d vote for Texas because – I want to keep my lame system intact. So I can be a self-important “BCS” voter. Head to head is a hell of an argument. It’s the playoff argument. If that’s not honored, I may be at risk of losing my status as a “BCS” voter, which I like. I like very much my current self-importance, and these Longhorns could make us look like idiots if we don’t put them through, just when we have a new President dogging my system, my Harris vote, my BCS self importance vote.

Bradford surgery, from Austin A-S.
Harrell injured two fingers on his left hand in the second quarter and is scheduled for surgery Sunday. The injury will not keep him from playing next week, if the Red Raiders have a game.

Any ideas.

Pardon, Harrell, not Bradford. nt
Bradford hurt his left thumb, according to Stoops. Probably a jam. nt
Good night BONers

we did what we could. hope for the best. ou sucks (perhaps more than ever).

Fowler's giving Stoops the business.

“but you lost to them head-to-head”

Jesus, EA College Football Poll: Who should be ranked #1 this year?

UT 44%
OU 17%
’Bama 9%
tOSU 5%

That's encouraging. nt
Curious

What does .nt at the end of all your posts mean? Some other guy finishes his with .nt whills.

It means no text.

and they say whills because he started it.

God lou holtz doesnt think head-to-head counts. what a joke
Holtz

is everything that is wrong with college football.

This is ridiculous.

Next year...

let’s not bother keeping score in games. Let’s just play and let voters decide who was the better team.

“And the Russian judge gave OSU a 5.4. That will hurt their chances for a playoff spot.”

NCAA Football, taking guidance from figure skating on how to decide a champion.

lou holtz is a retard who spts when he talks
Limath Thweed

Luv, Lou Holthhhh

Holtz needs to retire once and for all.

I’m collecting money to buy out his contract and buy him a condo in Florida.

i can't eat when lou is on

seriously i don’t know what it is but when he’s on i can’t eat a thing. is all the spitting and lisping an old thing or did the old guy just lose too much teeth and refuses to wear dentures? i don’t get it. can’t understand half the things he says and his constant lunatic raving for nd is embarrassing. only lou holtz could possibly make mark mayes look non-partisan by comparison. (and yes i am referring to mark mayes’ constant sniffing at usc’s jock strap. at least until they blew it against osu.)

Questions

(1) Do any of the coaches vote for Mack over “Big Game Bob” because Mack respects the game and doesn’t run the score up on hapless teams?

(2) Do the voters take into consideration “Big Game Bob’s” pathetic record in BCS games, epsecially when compared to Mack?

Thank you Corso

Did anyone here those Sooner fans shut the fuck up when Corso said that Texas should play for the BIg XII Championship? Even Herbie agreed!

i heard ‘em go quiet, and then start booing. lol. personally i think if two public faces are saying it, it echos among the football world and gives legitimacy to texas’ claim of being better than OU and deserving to be ranked up above OU.

Corso and Herbie both point out that head-to-head is the deciding factor

Texas over OU

45-35

Let's hope that some of the voters are still up and watching.
I'm off to say my prayers and go to sleep.
Random contrarian thoughts on a sleepless night....

1. Holtz and May are both selling something they don’t believe because producers tell them to. May is trying to make up for 2005 when he spent a month declaring USC the greatest ever – so ESPN lets him take the “pro Texas” view. That means Holtz takes the other side….they are entertainers, not journalists. (BTW, Mark, how many Heisman winners does it take to beat Vince Young?)

2. USC may be the team really getting screwed this year (I hate to say it). But, I’ve seen them a few times this year and that defense is unreal. Yes, they lost a game to a team with four losses – but they lost on the road at night and nearly won to a team that will end up tied with them for first in the conference. Sounds a little familiar. Not that I’m losing sleep over their bad luck…..

3. How about credit for non-conference scheduling? Three years ago when we set this schedule (after Utah backed out thinking they didn’t need 2 for 1 anymore) would you have taken Texas’ non-con with UTEP on the rise (and on the road) and Arkansas or OU’s with Cincy and TCU? We scheduled more difficult, our partners didn’t live up to the agreement!

final td with 25 secs to go. stay classy, bob stoops!

no sense in kneeling for ol bob stoops. he likes to go all-out til the final seconds. ‘course, there’s being a douche bag (bob) and being a class act (not bob). stay classy up there in norman, bob! you da man! (douche bag.) i would love it if people made a big deal about that last td in the news tomorrow and some voters decided to kick him in the balls for it, but i doubt it. oh well.

Kick him in the balls

just for the hell of it. A swift kick by Mack wearing some steel-toed boots. Oh wait Mack already did that to him in Dallas. 45-35.

dude,

oklahoma state had just called a timeout and all brown was doing was running it up the middle.

dude,

25 seconds left, first down, on the 20-something. how many timeouts did osu have, infinity? give me a break. he was running up the score so he could go to the camera and say “see? we beat osu by 20!” which he immediately did. in that situation, a classy coach goes into the v formation.

doable?

i seem to have read somewhere that it’s DOABLE for ut to stay ahead of ou if mack, who has a vote in the coach’s poll, to leave ou off the ballot completely. i mean, totally shaft them. and if he could get one or two other coaches with votes to do likewise. it would be unethical of course, but hey, this is ou we’re talking about. screw’em. am i wrong here?

I read it too

I don’t think Mack does it. If OU jumps us do you think the media questions it? No, they’ll figure “OU beat Ok State on the road by 20, Texas beat them at home by 4 so the voters went with OU despite the head to head.” But if Texas stays ahead of OU it will most likely end with blaming Mack for it even if the voters wake up and think “You know this is a really good OU offense and OSU couldn’t stop them. Actually the only team that could was Texas. I’ll change my vote and go with UT instead.”

It comes down to Mack’s character. He will politic as much as he can but at the end of the day he always says the same thing “We will go wherever they send us.” Mack Brown is no Bob Stoops and I thank God for that.

UT could and DID stop them....

When it was the OU 1.0

But after the Kansas game, OU figured it out, and it’s been OU 2.0

NOT the same team

At this point, I wouldn’t put it past Mack to do such a thing, since he’s already lost the respect of most people for his politicking. Bob answered a question after the Tech game, and refused to go on about it. Let the chips fall where they may. How Mack has gone onto every show possible and whored himself out to beg and plead for votes instead of just letting the teams’ play be the determinant has been pretty despicable.

Before Thursday, I’d have rooted for Mack and UT if they were to get the nod ahead of OU. And, not because of the way the TEAM played, but because of the fans and Mack’s attitude, no way that happens now….

get a life...who cares who you root for?
Oh no how will we ever live if you don't cheer for our team?

“Wow. This BCS bowl game is very enjoyable. Texas is kicking ass but you know what? It’s missing something. I’m just not enjoying the game quite as much as I would if some sooner that has nothing better to do but troll BON could be cheering the horns on. That’s it. I can’t watch this game anymore. It’s too painful.”

Nobody here likes you or your team. FYI.

You know

It has never once occurred to me to comment on a rival team’s message board.

Interesting how that says more about you than it does about me.

Oh please...

Stoops went on ESPN thursday to do an interview pleading his case. Get real.

"just letting the teams’ play be the determinant"

TexasSooner,

In your own words, 45-35, is letting the teams play be determinant. There should not be any talk about voters. The teams have played and determined.

Thank you for your support in letting the world know that Texas is more deserving team to go to the Big 12 CG.

the big question in my mind with that pitiful 2.0 argument is simply

Why did your beloved Sooners WAIT till after Texas polished them into the ground to show up 2.0? Texas doesn’t need motivation, BlowU does. We deserve it because we beat you simply stated.

I can't wrap my head

around these facts and how they are being totally disregarded… 1) OU was #1 in the nation on oct. 11th, lost by 10 and at that time the voters thought so much of UT that we jumped from 5th to 1st, and OU only dropped to #4. Since then we’ve held all mutual oppenents to less points than OU, excluding TTU. 2) I think if we had a week off before TTU it would have been a different story. Instead, our schedule was rearranged by a hurricane, and we played 4 top 11 teams in consecutive weeks. 3) This year marked the first time the underdog won the RRS when both teams were ranked, meaning, we were supposed to lose and came out on top. For all of Stoop’s glory, he’s never upset Mack…also, Our SOS got a boost with Rice & Arkansas winning while UF’s biggest wins this year are to a 4 loss LSU team and a 3 loss Georgia squad. They both lost this weekend, does that also favor OU?

but....

our SOS took a hit when CU and Mizzou couldn’t finish the deal against their opponents. Also, FAU helped us out with a big win while UTEP got destroyed. All in all, the weekend was a wash in terms of hoping for massive computer help.

re: Florida

If you want to look at their computer help, they really had a rough weekend. Miami, Vandy, UGA, LSU, South Carolina, all lost. Had a couple teams on their schedule win, but it seems like they took some hits overall.

so, i know this is pretty much a foregone conclusion...

…since Florida is so close to us in the BCS, but are they guaranteed to jump us if they beat Alabama? The computers don’t love Florida. I just wonder if somehow the computers held on and we were still somehow in the top 2.

I hate not controlling our own destiny
are these updated: texas 4 in both coaches and Ap

http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/poll?poll=Coaches

pretty sure that's last week.
yes it is, because it has only 11 games on the schedule. We're now 11-1.
but...

has us at 11-1

Maybe they kept the last poll up but updated the records, because i highly doubt there's anyway Oregon State and Georgia

can be ranked ahead of their rivals who beat them yesterday..still pretty sure its last weeks..

Definitely last weeks.

Mizzou, Ga, OrSU didn’t drop. It also says OU was 5 last wekk. The records are updated, but not the standings.

even though i am expecting my day to get ruined, i didn't want it to happen that early..haha

good looking out..
