Yeah, the same coach many OSU fans were ready to run out of town the past few years.It is a long ways to early March. Every road game will challenge any team. If you are really good, you can win with your A game and get beat with less. Ford looks to be working magic with his group. OSU by 19 over KU? Whod a thunk it?

Kansas is not without its flaws. Perry Ellis is their only consistent scoring option.
Yes, let's revere a coach for his one really good win this year, and overlook his track record of under producing the rest of the time he's been the head coach. By that rationale, Texas would have kept Charlie Strong for one more year after upsetting OU this year. That would have been just as silly.Yeah, the same coach many OSU fans were ready to run out of town the past few years.
The same fan base has also wanted to run Gundy off...more than once.

Oh, wait.

would Curbstomp the Sooners in Football. How did that turn out for you? Oh yeah
OU 55- mildcats zero.
Soonerboy, For only your third post, you did a damned fine job. Thanks for calling out this poser. I too have seen this Wildcat go back and forth between the OU and texas boards, trying to ingratiate himself with his ass-kissing comments. If he was sincere with his posts and comments, then I'd have no problem with him. But he'll show respect for OU and ridicule the horns on this board, then go over to Orangebloods and do the same over there. His act got old a long time ago.
By the way Soonerboy, that was an exceptional musing considering your low posts count and obvious youth.
Assuming it wasn't an anomaly, we could use your prodigious big brain here as you see fit.
Bring it dude.
(watch, now that I've put that out, he'll reveal he's 84 years old and a professor emeritus from Carnegie Mellon)
By the way, I went to the Syracuse game in 62 when Looney ran 60 yards to win the game,No
Spring Chicken.
Well, land of Goshen...you're way older than me.
(I was a delicate 12 years old when you were at Yankee Stadium for that)
Not that I would make light of that.
Post on my brother!
Fitty--that 62 game was in Norman.
Oops!
I get confused...that was about the time I was getting the training wheels taken off of the bicycle...
Think about it 50:
12 years old?
Training wheels?
You weren't a star athlete as a young'un, were you?
Actually, I was exaggerating.
I was 14.
In all candor, my Dad couldn't handle me having those on the bike. Too wimpy or something.
So I learned early on about balance, body in motion stays in motion, all that crap.
Our first bikes were small red and white ones with solid axles (no coaster brakes) and training wheels.
I never learned how to ride a bicycle until we got Stingrays and just started riding.
Stingrays...wow!
I wanted one of those so badly.
My poor Dad couldn't hang with the 63 dollar price tag though.
That was like two weeks wages at that time.
I got lucky. I traded my Mattel VaRoom (POS) that I got for Christmas for a Schwinn Stingray 2 speed kickback. It had 2 speeds but still had the Bendix (SP?) brakes. No hand brakes. You could switch between the 2 gears by slightly reversing your pedal direction.
My buddy was pretty dumb but, the Stingray was in pieces and he had no idea how to put the bike back together. Plus, the sound of that bad ass varoom motor? Too much to resist.

That's right, I forgot about shifting gears mid wheelie. I had the original metallic blue paint job.Not to belabor the point, well, perhaps a little...when I was about 14 I built a 'dream bike' from scratch.
I found one of those two speed hubs you mentioned at a bike shop. Had the guy install it into a standard size wheel.
Found a English style racing frame...painted it that hot yellow color all the rage in 1964. Even had the requisite drag slick on the back.
It was pretty sweet.
I learned how to do sustained 'wheelies'. I could hold 'em as long as I wanted. Hell, I even shifted the hub while I had it up like that.
Good times!
Honestly, playing cards sounded better than the varoom motor. The varoom sounded fake. So I was happy to go back to the old technology.So, you were too good to use a playing card and a clothes drying pin to get the "motor sound?" Just kidding. Just dating myself a little bit.
