THE OFFICIAL GAME THREAD - GAME #8 - OU vs. KSU
- Thread starter fortworth4ou2
- Start date
Just play good defense. Would really like to see the linebackers be aggressive.
Still a lot to play for this season. I have seen bad defenses get better over the course of a season so I don't see why OU's cannot.
OU 45
K-State 21
OU 45
K-State 21
Defense playing pretty good......did I miss something, is the whole board at the game?
Bookie’s hit set tone of game. Glad to see backups and young pups getting some mop up time. K-State got ass kicked clearly.
Joel Klatt all but said we left a national title on the field because the defense. Still work to be done but these Sooners are the only team with a chance at Clemson and Bama. It won't happen but I want Texas again. It won't be pretty for the Horns next time.
I wonder if Anderson had not been injured if we would have seen much of Kennedy Brooks or Pledger with Anderson and Sermon ahead of them and Sutton also around.
Don't we have to hope uterus wins out & we beat them in the CCG to have a slim chance at the CFP ? I not then I have no problem rooting for the pukes tonight, But if Championships are what we're playing for...

The only reason to is to settle the score in the CCG and earn the 4 hole in the CFP. IF there is any other way then I'll stop
wait..........why are you guys rooting for osu? First off, aggie fans NEVER want OU to win. We could be playing for the NC and they would be against us. Second, don't we need Texas to win if we have any hopes of making the playoffs?
I just can't root for Texas sorry I just can't.They have been the source of so much of the Big 12's problems I don't care if they EVER win again.
Shorthorns can kiss my gluteus maximus. Time for a grilled sirloin.
Who cares what OSU fans think of OU. Let them wallow in their own inferiority complex.
I admit I used to root for OSU back in the day. However, as I got older, I become more aware of how much these idiot aggie fans are absolutely eaten up with jealousy and would never want OU to win a single game. I finally said screw it and I hope they lose every game. I live in Oklahoma CT....I have to look at these morons on pretty much a daily basis. Every time they lose I honestly laugh my butt off. At least I can respect TX.....osu has never done anything to deserve much respect.
I strongly disagree. I think the talking heads are high on the Sooners because of the offense, and these better defensive performances will go a long way.
I think it's us, Bama, Clemson and Notre dame. We'll get Bama as the #4 seed and it would be incredibly tough to get the W, but even a good showing keeps this ship sailing in the right direction.
Texas got beat by OSU. This equalizes the Big XII as of today. We need to WIN OUT and by wide margins. If Texas and OU wins out then we see them again. If we beat WVU and they win out we see WVU again. We need the dominos to fall properly to get into the Play Offs. I don't see Bama, Clemson or ND losing a game from here out. We need Georgia, LSU & Michigan to find ways to lose and it is highly probable that two of three will do so.
Georgia will play the 'Bama/LSU winner in the SEC Champ game, so 2 of these 3 teams are losing. I can't see Bama losing to either, but I also don't see SEC getting 2 again this year unless UGA wins out and Bama only loss is SEC Champ game to UGA.
This week, Bama plays at LSU 7:00 pm and Kentucky (the forgotten SEC contender) hosts UGA at 2:30 pm-- we will see the likely SEC Champ game matchup after these games Saturday.
Assuming SEC (1), ND, and Clemson are winning out and in, we're fighting B1G and SEC (2) for the 4th spot. And IF the Committee follows their selection criteria, we should really only be competing against the B1G team for the final spot (again, unless UGA wins out and 'Bama only loses to them in SEC). From the B1G, UM or tOSU have the only hopes and play each other, plus UM plays Penn St this week, tOSU plays Mich St on 11/10. Even if they both win out to their matchup vs each other, OU is certainly trending up now with the Defense heading the right direction. I like OUr chances vs. UM/tOSU/SEC(2) given the hype Murry is generating. Nothing sexy about UM or tOSU right now. My guess is the Committee would do anything to avoid putting in Urban Meyer and the scandal baggage he carries with him. Possibly a bunch of protests outside the stadium if he's in the mix? Committee probably taking a hard pass on that.
I have family in Oklahoma. Some have attended OU, some have attended OSU (and my grandfather played freshman football at OSU prior to WWI).....and I attended the OU-OSU game in Stillwater....so I know about OSU's hatred for OU.
In 2007, while visiting Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC, I ran into a family from Oklahoma who saw me wearing an OU cap and confronted me with how much they hated OU how OU fans were a bunch of losers. I walked away not wanting to trade childish barbs about something as unimportant as football in a place where many soldiers have been buried. Since that little episode, my view of OSU fans has diminished. I view their hostility as just a reflection of their inferiority complex.
My dislike of OSU in other words, is only of their contemporary fan base, not Gundy or his players or of the OSU program that I followed since the late 1950's. When I was ten living in Houston, I corresponded with an OSU player who had the same name as me. He was a QB/HB, was part Indian and knew my grandfather who sold text books to Oklahoma high schools. He signed a program for me and mailed it to me. It was a big deal at the time. I had attended the 1958 OSU game at Rice Stadium when OSU beat Houston 7-0, thanks to an incredible goal line stand. This game was played the week after I saw my first OU game, which was the 15-14 loss to Texas.
Oh I agree with that. I have no problem with any of the players........its the majority of their fans. I know very few OSU fans that didn't either go their themselves or have family that did. Otherwise, there is no reason to be a fan. Its really hard to ever be happy for them even it it might help us.
