**"OU only beat Kansas by 14", says espn**

[Lott's Bandana]

"Reesing's two interceptions was the difference in the game.", said Jesse Palmer.


Why do I watch this shilt? Srsly, why?

I'll accept any response...I deserve it.

[Turd_Ferguson]

**** off dip ****!

[King Crimson]

they also said we couldn't stop them.

i guess we got lucky. interesting, we were never behind in the game and they never got closer than a touchdown...and they score the last TD of the game for the final margin....where we were up 3 TDs before that?

[kevpks]

I am sure if we were in the SEC the game would have been called "gritty" and a sign of our resolve.

[BoulderSooner79]

Technically, it's hard to argue with the statement if I did my math correctly.:cool: I guess if a 14 pt win against a ranked team is disappointing, we'll just have to take the 'W' with our heads down and go on and whip KSU.

[snp]

Just like Mark May's recap of why we lost to Texas:

"Sam Bradford had 2 critical interceptions and that was the difference"

You don't really expect these guys to know about the games, do you?

Yup. I made sure to write that one down since it was so dumb.

[Lott's Bandana]

Not like it wasn't on his "Family of Networks" or anything.

[hink4769]

I thought Palmer was good when he first started, I guess he's been hanging around Holtz and May too much. Not really his fault if thats the case.

After years of hearing ***-clowns spout bull sheisse on my TV, I came to figure out that these guys don't watch 10,000 games a year. What they do watch is highlights, and what they do know is statistics.

So looking at stats of the game, one thing that really jumps out is the two picks charged to Sammy. I'm pretty sure that's why he made the statement.

While I can understand why May would come to that conclusion, it is still stupid. And I can understand that the talking heads can't watch every play and therefore what they say is bound to be a lot of guesswork, what I would like to see is a little humility from them. In other words, if you don't really know what you are talking about, don't act like every syllable that falls from your mouth is wisdom from on high being passed down to the illiterate peasants, starving for each crumb.

But that probably would be too much to ask.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I peronally think they probably DID watch the entire OU-FAG game. Problem being they watched for the sole purpose of looking for reasons to rip on OU. The good news is they aren't calling us the best team in the history of college FB.

But really, screw 'em and then thank 'em for the relief to our horniness and then show our appreciation for ESPN360 keeping a few of us able to watch out of market games.

But mainly...teabag those SUC boosters.

I think you are dead on about them not being able to watch the games but then be expected to report in detail on them and all they can look at are numbers.

I also agree on the delivery but that will never change. They are the "experts" right?

[OU-HSV]

Just like last year, when we "Barely beat Mizzou in the regular season".
It's so stupid when people/media play this "what if" game. You could use what if theory in every game. Like how about this, what if Chase Daniel could play in big games, or what if Mizzou had a defense, or what if texass didn't have Colt McCoy at QB, or what if Jordon Shipley had the flu and wouldn't have been able to play in the RRR game. It's stupid, and I'm tired of the espn fags like Jesse Palmer and Lou Holtz.
In Lou Holtz's opinion last night, he said that Colt McCoy is head and shoulders above any other Heisman contender, said that no one is as accurate, blah blah blah. Screw Lou, Jesse and any other d-bags out there that are preaching that b.s.
(Sorry, had to get my morning venting out) :D

[Johnny Utah]

Or Corso would have gushed over OU's "character" by refusing to give up :rolleyes: .

[badger]

We only won by 14 because Mark Mangino ate the addition seven points in our lead with about two minutes left.

You cannot blame him - a four-hour game means a hungry Coach Mark.

In the same broadcast, they said texas has a "great defense", and the Muschamp buttsnogglin continued. I guess that means OU has a great defense as well, since they are ranked #1 in the conference.

[BornandBred]

We 'barely got by' Kansas, but Colt 'handled' us? This stuff is brutal. I'd say UT barely got by OU because everything went their way, and OU handled KU and gave up some trash in the end to make it look competitive. 'Course, I'm a homer...

In the second half, yup.

[BornandBred]

In the second half, yup.

I suppose you're more akrut.

[NormanPride]

We got by Kansas in the first half okay, and had a solid lead. The second half we dominated.

Texas was behind the whole game, and won the fourth quarter solidly.

You're looking for love in all the wrong places... ;)

As long as we just add a W each week to our remaining schedule, our road to the Orange Bowl will all work out if:



either
A) Pokes pull a miracle outta their butts in Austin

or
B) tOSU pins an L on Papa Joe

and
C) Bama eventually chokes on someone, most likely Florida, in the SEC

If B & C come to pass then we're back in the driver's seat and O.B. bound.

[BornandBred]

If Florida beats Bama in the SEC Championship, I'm afraid they might jump us.

[Salt City Sooner]

We 'barely got by' Kansas, but Colt 'handled' us? This stuff is brutal. I'd say UT barely got by OU because everything went their way, and OU handled KU and gave up some trash in the end to make it look competitive. 'Course, I actually watched the games...
Fixed.

[Mile High Sooner]

If Florida beats Bama in the SEC Championship, I'm afraid they might jump us.

It's possible but I'd hope our BCS strength of schedule and our 1 loss to the #1 team vs their loss to an unranked team would eek us into #2 for a B-12 MNC rematch.

Maybe that other orange UT team will play well enough this weekend to get their 102K fans worked into a frenzy and help us out... naaaah :rolleyes:

[BornandBred]

I wish.

I was having this argument with an LSU/SEC guy. He was saying the country doesn't want to see another OU/UT game. I personally think the first was competitive enough to warrant a second, but I'm clearly not objective. IF Bama loses and PSU drops one, I suspect we'll get jumped by the monsters out of USC or the SEC champ.

On that same note, I was talking to a UT guy today, and they REALLY don't want to play us again. Which, I think is because we'll have better luck the second time around.

[Cam]

An OU/UT rematch is nothing more than a pipe dream IMHO. Even if everything fell right, I don't think the human voters would let it happen.

However, they sure the hell were ready to see a Meatchicken/tOSU rematch in teh recent past.

[Cam]

But they didn't do it though, so I don't think they'll do it again.

I've been wrong before... I'd say it's 50/50 right now. Too many games to be played at this point.

[Mile High Sooner]

I'm sure anyone from the SEC will believe their Champ is deserving of the MNC game. If the Pukes play Fexas close as they have in the past and we beat them in Stoolwater then I hope the BCS computers will take into account our SoS vs the SEC Champ and the #'s will be in our favor.

UsucK's only chance to make it to the MNC was to be undefeated in the Pitifull Poor P-10. Gotta luv the Beaver.
Don't know what's up with the Coaches Poll as somehow they eother don't recognize that loss or accept just how bad the P-10 really is.

They didn't do it because it was too close in time (almost back to back) where time is on our side with a us getting another shot.

That's a great point. Hadn't thought about that.

[EnragedOUfan]

Hearing and reading about ESPN hating on Oklahoma doesn't surprise me. Hell, everyone hates Oklahoma and I really have no clue why. Every fan from schools that have played against Oklahoma that I have met have all said that OU has an extremely nice fan base and that we show a lot of class. I have to agree with this. I even heard this come from a Bama fan referring to 2002. My only guess as to why ESPN hates us so much started at the end of the 2003/2004 season....BOOMER!

[Lott's Bandana]

They didn't do it because it was too close in time (almost back to back) where time is on our side with a us getting another shot.

It's my recollection that it depended on Florida losing the SECCG, which they didn't. Then they absolutely snotwhalloped tOSU in teh BCSCG.

That shut the Meatchickens up. In fact, I think they got beat in their bowl as well, if I remember correctly. Yup, to suc...Rose Bowl 2007.

[Cam]

Good point.

[BoulderSooner79]

Not true - the computers favored tOSU and Mich, but the humans vetoed the rematch. Then both tOSU and Mch got routed in their bowl games and the humans looked smart for a change. An OU/UT rematch is unlikely. I'm just hoping OU wins out and gets a great BCS bowl match-up and WINS it.

[BrockLanders]

Palmer was on The Batchelor.

Yup, because of my explanation re: Florida above. Until F's CCG, the media was frothing about it...without the CCG, it would have been a done deal.

[Dan Thompson]

I thought margin of victory was a thing of the past. SO it does make a difference.

I hope Bob leaves both 1st teams in the complete game and plays just like it is the first qtr every qtr.

[SoonerFanInAustin]

I know I'm looking through Crimson glasses, but seriously, if Fla wins out the big thing they have they we may not, is a Conf Championship.

Compare the schedules so far:

Wins for Fla at current BCS rankings
LSU 5-1 13th in BCS, they were 4 when they got beat
Miami, Fla 4-3
Tenn 3-4
Ark 3-4
Hawaii 3-4

Lost:
Mississippi 3-4

OU's schedule:
TCU 7-1 14th in BCS, ranked 24th when we won
Kansas 5-2 23rd in BCS, ranked 16th when we won
Cincinnati 5-1, may be ranked soon
Baylor 3-4
Washington 0-6
Chattanooga, Div 1-AA

Lost:
Texas 7-0 and ranked #1

compare games that are left:

Ga and FSU ranked 7 & 25 and 3 games against teams either 5-2 or 5-3.
Tech and OSU ranked 6 & 8 and two other teams above .500 record

Actually Florida and Michigan were tied according to the computers. Both were 0.940.

MOV will always be present in the minds of the voters. Beating UGA and Clemson by a ton made Alabama sky rocket through the polls. If they simply squeaked by, you wouldn't see that rapid rise.

However, MOV is not a component of any computer formulas.
