I can't wait until someone intentional hurts a Sam Bradford or similiar player for OU.

I hear this a lot in the book while watching games..."can't wait" for an injury to so and so. Just classless. Tell me....is this Bradford's fault?

When you hear someone rooting for an injury, it tells you a lot about their character. And if you don't realize that you are wrong for saying it in the first place, then there is no arguing, its just your character.

And there was no pass interference in the end zone back in the day, dominator.

i hear ya Veggie... if it happens it will be on stoops but it is his prerogative to run up the score. especially when he has to make people forget he lost heads up on a neutral field to the number 3 team.
Uno....You really needed to put a period in front of the first sentence you ever wrote about this game and then gotten off the board. You are the most annoying poster that I've believe that I've ever seen in the college forum. I very seldom get pissed at people here because they are just defending their teams. But when you start slamming other teams and coaches, especially Stoops, I have to say something.

For one thing you Texas fans have very selective memories when it comes to coaches running up scores for BCS purposes. The last great offense we had in college football was Texas in 2005. And in case you forgot about some of their scores that year where Mack Brown supposedly had no control over, let me remind you:


62-0 over Baylor
52-17 over Texas Tech
66-14 over Kansas
70-3 over Colorado in the Big 12 Championship Game (look familiar?)

I guarantee you all of these big wins were done for BCS purposes. How many points do you really think they needed to beat Colorado in the Big 12 Championship? C'mon! I guarantee you Mack Brown has been making alot of phone calls and the Texas "PR" department has been working overtime with these voters to get some to sway their way. And these Harris Poll voters are the shadiest bunch of voters you'll ever see. Just look up online some of the 175 voters who vote in the Harris poll. Many are not even college football people who stay on top of the game. And many don't even watch college football. So if they see a 48-35 OU win in the newspaper the next day, they think it's a close game. As opposed to a 62-21 score that shows the reality that Missouri got hammered. I can tell you that many of these Harris people are greatly influenced by other people before they turn in their vote. And there are alot of "call in favors". Some coaches use influential contacts to talk with others and tell them what they "should" be doing. And if you don't believe that your very naive. And you Texas people got mad because Stoops talked to the media the next day after beating the number 2 team? But you thought nothing about Mack Brown and his 5 minute Texas PR infomercial coming on and making a special appearance in the OSU-OU broadcast? Your all hypocrites. And despite the OU blowout last night, I'm still on pins and needles about the BCS vote. The only part of the BCS I trust is the computers, because I'm not so sure how much of the Texas wealth has influenced the human polls between the end of that game and today. And again, if you think there hasn't been some Texas phone calls being made, your very naive.

GS, What I'm trying to tell you, and you fail to listen, IS THAT THOSE SCORES YOU POSTED WERE WITHOUT OUR STARTING QB IN THE GAME FOR THE WHOLE 4th QUARTER!!!! Vince didn't step on the field in the 4th quarter of that Big 12 Championship. And he wasn't on the field for much of those other games either. Your coach not only had the starter in the game, BUT HAD HIM THROWING BOMBS WITH 3 minutes remaining. Look at the stats, and you'll see that you're wrong on this point. Jesus Christ!!!

jb...You know fool well that if Mack Brown had a chance to do something that has never been done in college football before with his team scoring 60 points or more for 5 games in row, he would have kept his QB in the game to the last second. Mack Daddy is not above the fray. Stop acting like he is. College football is all about wins, the BCS, breaking records and recruiting. I guarantee you alot of highschool players liked what they saw last night and will be giving OU a call. This is what football is all about whether you like it or not.

What's wrong with expecting some of these teams to stop OU instead of blaming it entirely on them for running up the score? You know the system very well and I'm sure Mack Brown does as well. If Texas had scheduled better competion earlier we wouldn't be having this conversation. I do realize there was no way to know how TCU & Cincy would do so well. As far as Sam Bradford is concerned, you know there are all kinds of scouts at these games and they want to see the product they may be purchasing. It 's just hard to know what to do sometime when you are talking about so much money and a young mans future on the line not to mention school records and national awards. I have a lot of respect for Texas and their program but i gotta tell ya all of this whining by everyone is getting old.

Could not have said it any better myself. I 100% agree.

Here is something to think about Tecas Fans... And let's be honest. Put Texas and Oklahoma on a Neutral field TODAY. What would the line be?? I can tell you Exactly where they would put it, because I ran the numbers.

Oklahoma -4.5....Why would it be there?? Because OU is the BETTER team. Give it up. Even if Texas WAS the better team when they played, it's all about who is the Best at the End.

Sorry, but Texas is the second best team in the best conference. Just the way it is.:103631605

You couldn't be more WRONG. I'm not sure how much you remember about that 2005 team, but VY did not play in a lot of 4th quarters...

There's one thing about winning a game 62-0, but then it's a whole other ballgame TRYING to win 62-0 (i.e. throwing deep in the last few minutes already up by 30)...

the problem i have is RUTSing is the ONLY way now. and now we will see teams doing it repeatedly from now on and that really ruins the game when you cant get your backups in as they sit on the bench because Urban or Bob must win by 50 instead of 43.

that's the classy thing I like about Mack. he got the backups in. See the TAMU game as an example when he didnt have Colt passing in the game when it was in had. Backups were in.

it's not WRONG mind you. you play the game and that's how it has to be played now. and to me it ruins college football.

yet another reason why we need playoffs


not sure who i root for in the MNC game. dont like the sooners but i dont like FU any more than I do Okie. if it were USC id be the biggest Sooner rooter though :)

Young didn't play in the 4th quarter of the Big 12 Championship game with Colorado game because the damage had already been done. Texas was already up 70-3 after 3 quarters. Texas also didn't have anybody to chase that season. They were pretty much number 1 or 2 in every poll all year...OU was in a much different situation. And even at that, Bradford has gone out in the 4th quarter in alot of games this year. And he didn't play in the 4th quarter of the Texas A&M game, yet I see some Texas fans getting on the board saying that Texas 40 point win over the Aggies as opposed to OU's 38 point win is proof that Texas is better. This is how shallow many people are, including the media. And including the voters in the Harris poll. This is what Stoops and OU has had to deal with this season.. As for Mack Brown, if he didn't want to keep his QB in their games, that was his choice. But he needs to learn to play the BCS game. When Brown tells the media he is no longer scheduling marquee games for the Horns for their out of conference games, it tells me he's not taking the BCS as serious as he should. Something tells me that Mack is on his way out anyway. There's some pretty strong rumors floating around that Muschamp is going to be head coach much sooner than people think.

For you guys with short memories that think that OU can't win the big one, I think they have won 7 national championships. All the championship games were played outside the state of Oklahoma. If I remember correctly, Florida, Fla. St. and U of Mia have won one championship outside the state of Florida. That was Fla. St.against a Va Tech team that had not played a top 20 team that year. LSU won their last one in the Sugar Bowl, about 70 miles from Baton Rouge. So. Cal has won every one of theirs in the Rose bowl, a short drive from their campus. Now OU has to go down to Mia, a neutral site I'm sure, (BS) to play Florida. Lets play this sob in Tulsa and see how neutral that would be. This is all from an unbiased and objective fan of college football.

You are incorrect. Miami beat Nebraska in CA. FSU beat VA Tech in NOLA. UF beat FSU in NOLA. UF beat OSU in Glendale.

For those of you that don't know, Bud Wilkerson and Barry Switzer are no longer coaching the team.

So, based on your reasoning of their past, ND should roll in their bowl game. I mean look at the program's history.

Don't allow facts to get in the way of a good argument.

Even Barry Switzer lost a few national championship games to go with his three titles. It happens to the best of coaches. I think the bottom line is Stoops has gotten OU to the BCS title game 4 times in the last 10 years. How many other coaches can say that? BCS title games are very difficult to win. And OU's two losses in these games were to some pretty darn good teams. Especially USC, who's 2004 team was one of the best ever in college football. And despite Jason White being hurt going into the LSU game, that game was very close. And OU came one overthrown pass in the endzone away from winning that game. These games are never easy to win. Especially against SEC teams. But I think OU has a decent chance this year.

Pete Carroll 8
Jim Tressel 6

Urban Meyer will be there shortly.
Les Miles has 2 ( but I don't think he will be joining the list).

Larry Coker even went to 3,

I respect you as a poster, but OU was not close to winning. The score may not indicate it, but they got dominated and I remember laying the -7 and then compounded in the 2nd Half by taking OU again.

So you have forgotten Stoop's national championship against Florida St as an 11 point underdog. I'm not sure but I think that was in Florida also.

You should watch that game again. OU was driving and Jason White overthrew a 20 pass in the endzone to give OU the lead in the closing minutes.

Pete Carroll and Tressell hasn't been to the BCS title game that many times. I only remember Carroll going twice and Tressel three times.
