we just HAVE to play oSu in Stillwater 2 years in a row? Was this not preventable? Please, could someone explain this? :confused:

No idea since we clearly bring more to the table. Osu fans can smack all they want but the main reason butts will be in the seats and eyes on the tv is OU......always will be.

On a side note.....maybe the sheep need more money for school? I got nuttin :-)

It's not a big deal...as long as we win, right? :D

On the flip side, my tx tech buddy is pissed that they have to come to Norman two years in a row. Guess we didn't get hosed completely.

they were too lazy to to put in an effort to rework the schedule.

SoonerRick46

11/19/2010, 12:46 AM

A whole new schedule had to be written because of the change in the number of teams. Because of that and the number of games in a season, and if everyone was going to have the same number of home games as away games in any given year, there were going to be situations that required some back-to-back homes games between some teams. It's just mathematics. Try for yourself to put it together and not have that happen.

I think they ended up making it pretty fair for all concerned.

Well, if we have to play oSu two years in a row in Stoolwater then I think it would be a nice gesture on their part to at least allow our band a place next to the field. :)

we win this year and you know Holder is only going to let OU have 50 tickets next season.

I heard from an aTm Aggie that only two schools-- aTm and Texas-- didn't have to reset their schedules and have to play two in a row on the road. Is this incorrect?

Scott D

it probably is. I'm just making light of the fact that their AD Mike Holder is basically T Boone's bitch, and if he could give a smaller allotment to OU he would.

Meh, just do what most other OU faithful do - Buy Poke season tickets, Stubhub your other Poke tickets and keep the OU ones for yourself. Then, giggle as all the diehard Pokes try to figure out which disloyal orange-clad wearer among them scalped tickets to the gooners :rolleyes:

My first thought about this was OU got hosed again by the Big 12 office. It still doesn't make sense that OU has to go to Stillwater twice in a row while OSU does the same in Austin. But the league office is probably trying to make the schedule as easy as possible for the horns.

OU would release singles if Bedlam wasn't sold out, Holder would rather have empty seats and empty coffers than a OU fan in the seats

Do you guys just love to bitch about this topic?

Have none of you ever traveled to a game where tickets were sold out and you were going to buy one on the street?

You're telling me you'd rather give money to the Oklahoma State Athletic Department than some scalper on the street?

Thats just how it goes. When your team's been in the basement for so long, you've forgotten how to act when you get your chance in the sun. Fans of schools with long droughts always get much chippier when that season of a lifetime rolls around.

all Big12-2 schools after that. the schedule just needed to be reset for whatever reason

something similar happened in 1987 with us playing in Nebraska 2 years in a row and OSU coming here 2 years in a row

I remember that. It was 86 and 87. We went to Lincoln twice in a row and OSU came to Norman twice. We won all those games. :D

Of all the times to have to go to Stillwater back-to-back, it had to be when they actually have a good football team.

I know that every team remaining in the Big 12 Conference would have to play one common opponent on the road again next year. Ou, gets Tech at home again, and I guessing Big 12 Commish just decided that OU needs the hardest schedule possible. Haha only kidding....

I asked why we had to play them in Stillwater two years in a row, and if it could have been preventable. Theres a big difference in my wish that it could have been preventable than in me having a problem with it. The fact that you falsely accused me of having a problem with it to such an extent that I needed to "get over it" is what makes you look like a total a**.

It would serve you well to just STFU.
