And on a somewhat similar note... its been that long since we've been any good.Well we were pretty darn good in 2004,finished 12-0 and were Big 12 Champs. I STILL don't understand why we didn't go to a bowl game that season. :D
Damn Sooner hating media kept us home.

[KStatePike]

no but honestly you guys are going to bend us and our junior college defense over the pool table. I want our AD to petition the big 12 to let us have 12 guys on defense. A 4-4-4 would be nice. Its gonna get ugly.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

TCU tried it a few times

That was the first and only day Hideaway ran their special where they'd give a discount in accordance with the margin of victory, IIRC.

77% off was fun :D

[Cheshire Bear.]

77-0. The greatest OU accomplishment in my eyes. I can't thank you guys enough for that treat lmao.

[the_ouskull]

I mean, I was there for 77-0, and it was glorious... but to call it OU's greatest accomplishment...?

Let's just say this: Where are we going to make room for it in the trophy case?

Winning GAMES is something that they get pumped up about in Stagnantwater. In Norman, it's championships or bust, baby.
