[Soonerus]

...Sometimes you don't alaways play great on both sides of the ball and the great teams find a way to win...Congrtas OU !!!!!

[medstudent24]

I agree they did play well today.

[Soonerus]

Yes, but I think they lifted weights last week and played tough today..

[Newbomb Turk]

they ran too.

[Soonerus]

I read they started some trendy new nutritional program last week too...so you have to consider all of this...impressive win by the So0ners under the circumstances...

[birddog]

But you forget all of the tangible and intangible differences this week noted earlier...you post is comparing apples to oranges..

[zeke]

It goes in the books as a WIN

I'll take it

The defense played very well and only gave up 1 TD. Even after several turnovers.


If we are to have a day where we are not hitting on all cylinders, like today, and especially this year, its big to get out with a win.

Away from home, hostile crowd, big target on our jerseys, mometum, fumbles, interception...OU wins ISU lost

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[KC//CRIMSON]

Rusty, I thought you had previously agreed to stop breathing...geeezz..

Rusty, I thought you had previously agreed to stop breathing...geeezz..

You should probably be banned for such a provacative self-portrait...gross...

[KC//CRIMSON]

I don't care who you are, that's a funny picture right there.

Mark it on the calendar. I'm gonna agree with Rus, here.

All I'm saying is, our 2000 squad only won 12-7 in Stillwater, and OSU was a 3-8 team that year. Our 2004 squad, probably the best defense Stoops has ever fielded at OU, only managed a 31-21 win over a 4-7 KSU team.

A road win in the Big XII is not to be sneezed at, I don't care who you're playing. Especially when you're playing against a quarterback who has started all four years in college. Even if ISU is a horrible sucky team, their quarterback has more in-game experience than any other QB in the country, which means mistakes are very costly against him.

I tend to agree. The difference between winning and losing those close games is heart and team leadership. If you remember Josh Heupel didnt have the greatest game against OSU in 2000, but the difference is that he was a true team leader.

As good as Heupel was as a quarterback, he was even better as a team leader and thats the reason we won those close games at the end of the year. If we were put in those same situations this year, I think we lose more often than not simply because we dont have the team leaders that we had in 2000

Disagree, Bradford is very positive

Let me get this straight: Strait knocked a pass away in the end zone on the last play, and that demonstrated Heupel's leadership?

If Strait mistimes the jump even slightly, or the ball is placed just a little bit better for the WR, OSU wins and our loss is considered an example of poor leadership and coaching? But since Strait times it perfectly, the game is a display of great leadership and preparation, right?

That is utter nonsense.

And the next year, when Woods caught the game winner in Norman (in front of Strait, I think), that was because Josh was doing a crappy job leading with his whole trying-to-make-it-in-the-NFL thing.
