We win the national title if...

[Collier11]

What is your one short answer...for me it is easy,

If SB is given time to throw the ball.

[JLEW1818]

we execute in the National Title game, like we do all the other games

[Boomer.....]

If our D is as tough as they say it is.

[1890MilesToNorman]

VET get's the mash going TODAY! Otherwise we won't be ready for anything.

[humblesooner]

If our D is as tough as they say it is.

+1

[CK Sooner]

If our offensive line comes together and plays as good as last year and if are receivers don't have that many drops!

[JLEW1818]

sorry can I edit mine??? I'm sure most of you will agree with this

IF DEMARCO MURRAY ACTUALLY STAYS HEALTHY, AND PLAYS IN THE TITLE GAME


(that's if we get to the title game)

[Sooner-N-KS]

no major injuries

[CK Sooner]

no major injuries

This

[Wishboned]

we win all our games.

[goingoneight]

... there is a God.

[madillsoonerfan5353]

SWAGGER!

[Collier11]

MOXY!

[Harry Beanbag]

Our receivers can get open against an SEC defense.

[adoniijahsooner]

no major injuries

bingo!

[cheezyq]

...Tebow loses his virginity.

[the_ouskull]

We can only hope that he gets arrested. He'd lose it more quickly that way.

the_ouskull

[Speer]

we win all of our games.....maybe.

[Johnny Utah]

we execute in the National Title game, like we do all the other games

I'll take this one then (+1)

[Sooner-N-KS]

Our receivers can get open against an SEC defense.

That won't matter if the SEC defense is allowed to smack the receivers in the facemask before the ball gets there.

[soonervegas]

we win October 17th.

[Johnny Utah]

fixed :)


That won't matter if the SEC defense, when beaten, is allowed to smack the open receivers in the facemask before the ball gets there.

[NorCaligator]

OU plays and wins on January 7, 2010.

[MamaMia]

...we finish.

[TMcGee86]

IF DEMARCO MURRAY ACTUALLY STAYS HEALTHY, AND PLAYS IN THE TITLE GAME

this

[IslandSooner]

We recover from the one month lay off, better than years past!

[CrimsonJim]

no major injuries

This ^^^

[BoulderSooner79]

If KW and BV would just *listen* to us.

[TahoeSOONER]

.... we want it more than the other team, every game.

[PLaw]

If we stay healthy and avoid the injury bug.

BOOMER

[UTgolfer]

For arguements sake lets put aside injuries and OU's defense which should be scary good. I would think OU's key would be quality OL play...which would in turn give Bradford time and open up holes. He is good enough, I think, to create his own time and if that is the case the passing game should be fine. But without quality OL play the running game has virtually no chance.

[UberSooner]

we figure out how to handle the month between the season and the bowl game. Period.

[swardboy]

...our running game goes wild !!!

[SoonerInFortSmith]

we win October 17th.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[Johnny Utah]

.... we want it more than the other team, every game.

this always ... no excuse for anything less

[Eielson]

we beat Florida.

[josh09]

if the D is as good as theyre supposed to be, and if we beat texas!

[CaliBornSoonerBred]

bottom line......FOCUS. We keep it through out the season and never let off the throttle, we bring home #8

[gaylordfan1]

If we out score every team we play, then we will win every game!

[starclassic tama]

we win October 17th.

not sure i understand the rationale behind this one. sure everyone wants to beat texas, but it isn't exactly crucial to our national title hopes

[JLEW1818]

sure it is, texas has a great chance to go undefeated

is it the main goal? no

[starclassic tama]

lets just beat those bastards and not worry about it

[JLEW1818]

i try not to say the "beating texas is my main goal"

but its kinda hard not to think it, sure i want to beat every team we play

but this year with texas feels a little different or something

you know?

[Okie35]

...Tebow loses his virginity.

I just fell out hahahahahaha... I'd say if we play to the caliber we are capable of and there are no major injuries.

[JLEW1818]

it was pretty funny

[BoulderSooner79]

We *worry* about every detail of the game and not get complacent thinking the coaches will do it.

[OU_Sooners75]

...our defense is better than #68 overall.
...we do not suffer any major injuries.
...our offensive play calling is better in the red zone in our bowl game.
...our guys can execute every play and not take a play off, even on special teams.

[OK2U]

IF WE FREE MIKE BALOGUN

[Crucifax Autumn]

If we show up!

[MrJimBeam]

...we play Missouri for the BCS.

[beer4me]

We can only hope that he gets arrested. He'd lose it more quickly that way.

the_ouskull

I don't care who you that's funny:D

[OUmillenium]

...if Venables slips on a banana peel in the locker room and is knocked unconscious for the game and Bob flies Mike in to call the defense...just kidding.

We win if we stop the run game.

[Lott's Bandana]

...our kicking game (special teams) is even merely competent. Srsly.

[the_ouskull]

we figure out how to handle the month between the season and the bowl game. Period.
^^^ Gets it.

the_ouskull

[the_ouskull]

...if Venables slips on a banana peel in the locker room and is knocked unconscious for the game and Bob flies Mike in to call the defense...just kidding.

^^^ ALSO gets it. :D

the_ouskull

[PhiDeltBeers]

we win.

[GeorgiaTider]

You beat Texas and don't play Florida. Sorry... but the Gators are loaded. Makes me sad as a Bama fan.

[PhiDeltBeers]

You beat Texas and don't play Florida. Sorry... but the Gators are loaded. Makes me sad as a Bama fan.

I don't get it.

[SoonerTank]

I don't get it.

I talk inebriation. We win the national title if... we beat Texas and don't have to play Forida, because they are so loaded, we couldn't possibly be as good as those SEC teams.;)

[cheezyq]

You beat Texas and don't play Florida. Sorry... but the Gators are loaded. Makes me sad as a Bama fan.

I'm not sure what the UF player salaries or being drunk have to do with winning a championship.

[soonerfan28]

we score more points then the other team in the NC game.

[JLEW1818]

You beat Texas and don't play Florida. Sorry... but the Gators are loaded. Makes me sad as a Bama fan.

are u saying we beat texas this year, but don't play Florida in a bowl, because either OU or Florida will not be in the national title game?

[PhiDeltBeers]

I still don't get it. Maybe I never will.

[cheezyq]

are u saying we beat texas this year, but don't play Florida in a bowl, because either OU or Florida will not be in the national title game?

That's SEC fan for you. A guy at my work is an LSU fan. Hates Florida but claims that since they're the best in the SEC, they're unbeatable. Goes with the territory, I guess.

[JLEW1818]

SEC SEC SEC

[CK Sooner]

SEC SEC SEC

:eek:

[JLEW1818]

CK get your *** back to school!

[PhiDeltBeers]

I appreciate the members in trying to help me understand what this individual was trying to get across. i.e. loaded=drunk and/or paid. What I don't get is why he is even on the board? Forgive me as I'm a little slow.

[Scott D]

we go 14-0

[SoonerInFortSmith]

not sure i understand the rationale behind this one. sure everyone wants to beat texas, but it isn't exactly crucial to our national title hopes

If we beat the whorns we will run the table. If we run the table we are in the title game. If we are in the title game again we will get it done this time. Not that difficult of a concept.

[starclassic tama]

my point was more along the lines of i don't think mack brown has the gall to go undefeated even if they do beat us. and we all know what happens if we both have one loss, we play the tougher nonconference schedule therefore we get the nod.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

my point was more along the lines of i don't think mack brown has the gall to go undefeated even if they do beat us. and we all know what happens if we both have one loss, we play the tougher nonconference schedule therefore we get the nod.

You seriously think this will happen again? NO. Whoever wins the RRS this year goes undefeated. Tech won't be good enough this year. And OSU, well, they're OSU.

[starclassic tama]

well i'm not clairvoyant like you so i'm going to go with history...

[meoveryouxinfinity]

if we win all our games :)

[PhiDeltBeers]

Oh boy, here we go again. Stop the maddness!

[Boomer38Sooner]

we beat texas

[PhiDeltBeers]

we beat texas

Please, for the love of the Heavens above, don't say this again. You WILL start another argument!!!!

[silverwheels]

I would say we will win the national title if we win every game, but that's not a given. Probable, but not guaranteed. Hopefully we win every game anyway.

[SoonerObsession]

we don't play in the opposing teams back yard.

[PhiDeltBeers]

we don't play in the opposing teams back yard.

Which would consist of SUC.

[BoulderSooner79]

I would say we will win the national title if we win every game, but that's not a given. Probable, but not guaranteed. Hopefully we win every game anyway.

I'd put that at 99%

If we lose 1 game, I think our odds might still be decent -but we would have to still win the conference. And in the remote chance of another 3-way tie situation in the division, we wouldn't get any love :)

[Sirus]

OUr defense can cover texas #8

[soonerinabilene]

our transition to a new o-line goes smoothly. Sam is Sam, Demarco and Chris are Demarco and Chris. Our D is going to be a MONSTER. That leaves the new oline. They do their part right, and the rest will take care of itself.

[JLEW1818]

we still have to make some kind of an adjustment if we get to the title game... and idk what that is

[Eielson]

not sure i understand the rationale behind this one. sure everyone wants to beat texas, but it isn't exactly crucial to our national title hopes

Seriously?

[TahoeSOONER]

we still have to make some kind of an adjustment if we get to the title game... and idk what that is

You adjust every game but if you can't punch it in from the one, prevent 3rd and long conversions and protect the damn ball your adjustments will only take you so far.

[JLEW1818]

well thats part of it

but we have lost 5 bcs bowls....the layoff is obviously hurting us, not helping.

[TahoeSOONER]

IF the other team has the same time to adjust to the layoff then I don't see a problem, a mere hurdle. Last year gave more hope for the defense, holding that team 24 points should've been enough, but they gave up too many third and longs. Turnovers killed drives for the offense in that game.

Damn, I'm leaving last year behind and moving onto this team now!

[CK Sooner]

Drops is another thing that killed us in the championship game.

[oudivesherpa]

...Tebow loses his virginity.

Heavens NO. If he loses his virgnity, he knows what that experience is and will have something to play for.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Seriously?



I'm going to take Tama's side and explain this with a question. Who would you rather lose to? Idaho State or Texas? Think before you answer (this is assuming both of these teams have atleast one loss in conference play).

[Scott D]

we still have to make some kind of an adjustment if we get to the title game... and idk what that is

the adjustment we have to make is to win...ywia.

[starclassic tama]

Seriously?

yeah, apparently we lost to texas last year and still played for the national title?

[Crucifax Autumn]

Let's just beat everyone by 40 and be done with it.

[ouwasp]

another angle not considered yet:

OU reaches the BCS MNC game and gets to play some media-darling upstart that has waltzed through a crummy conference while other major players suffer a loss.

PENN STATE

[PhiDeltBeers]

I could see this.

[RedstickSooner]

...Tebow loses his virginity.

...to a girl.

[PhiDeltBeers]

...to a girl.

So you're saying there's no way we win the NC this year?

[Sirus]

yeah, apparently we lost to texas last year and still played for the national title?

Something tells me that all the lobbying that they did last season about the win over us might be the reason we must win that game to even be considered.

[BoulderSooner79]

That would be common sense talking to you.
