Yes, he was. Get a long snapper and holder. That has been inconsistent all season...
THE OFFICIAL SUGAR BOWL GAME THREAD - OU vs. AUBURN
- Thread starter fortworth4ou2
- Start date
MUSBERGER sounded emotional when he was talking about Mixon and how he wants him to do good at the next level.
Also, get a punter. PAT was good, where were the laces on the hold? To the left for the kicker... Others have been to the right, some he has kicked the laces... That screws up kicks...
MAYFIELD is an athlete he can scramble turn around and still make completed passes.
Gus said Clemson was the only offense who could play with Alabama... I bet he changes his mind...
The boys are looking good tonight. I was very concerned about the defense but so far they have been pretty decent. I hope they keep feeding Perine and Mixon to run that clock.
I remember living in Hutto and going to Pflugerville and watching Perine there. He was a BOSS at the HS level and I was so excited he decided to come to OU.
I personally like him quite a bit more than Mixon even though Mixon has his own way of doing things and is very good. If we are lucky enough to get both of these men back next year...we are in really good shape.

Big 12 about to go 4-2 overall and 2-1 vs. SEC in bowl games.
That time out and touchdown with 2 seconds left was kind of strange considering they had no chance, but I guess I can see wanting to get your guys another score.
Decent win and at least we didn't fold in a good bowl game.

I don't have any problem at all with Gus going for that TD at the end.
And right after we'd absolutely taken the foot off the gas on our last drive. We could have easily beaten them by 29.
Great win! I also had no problem with Auburn scoring at the end. Congrats to Samaje as well.
BOOMER SOONER! Thats how its done!
60 minutes. It's not just a TV show.
Now if we can just stretch this winning streak to 25! Boomer!

Neither do I. It's just what a sore loser does. Expected. Stoops could have run up the score as well. But, well, he isn't a sore loser.
How does it make him a sore loser?? I would prefer a coach that wants his players to keep going till time expires than to just give up with time still on the clock. They couldn't have won the game, but keep fighting till the end.

And possibly get players on either side injured for something meaningless. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
Gus in from Arkie, what do you expect? I agree the timeout with 2 seconds left was all butthurt on Malzhans part.

Any coach would have done the same as Malzhan.....even Stoops.
NEXT YEAR LET'S KICK THE CRAP OUT OF OHIO STATE MAKE THEM OUR BITCHES.
I'm not so sure about that but at least they have the knowledge that they can score from the 2 on our second string defense. I really don't care...they were beaten anyway. I'm just happy with the win and the resurrection of what seemed like a really lost season.
I will say this, Gus was fired up for his team to get a TD as the game ended, and Bob was equally as fired up about stopping Auburn from getting that TD. That's what competing is all about. Who gives a damn if the game is effectively over or how much time is left. Especially in that situation when they were SOOO close to getting in the end zone!!! How is that any different than if Auburn was on the 50yd line and threw a hail mary on the last play?? I bet if you were to ask Bob about it he would understand why Gus would want his team to get that final TD to at least end the game on something positive.
I would argue the ones saying Gus is a sore loser are actually sore winners themselves.
I agree with what you are saying. Compete til the games over. I would expect it. Now running up scores is what I hate.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Always great to win a bowl game and play well. Beating Auburn was a plus. Too old now to wish my life away, but next season can't get here soon enough. Boomer to all you great Sooner posters.
So I'm watching the game here on my big screen with my DVR slowed to 1/15th speed and I'm thinking the hold or something might be off like A LOT of times this year.
Not the case. Good snap, good hold... Good kick too... #55 of Auburn tipped it on a perfectly timed leap. Not by much, but by enough to change the rotation...
