Fact: It doesn't suck to be us!

http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/superlatives.html

Fact: Oklahoma has the best winning percentage in college football over the last 75 years.
Oklahoma is the winningest program in what is widely considered the modern era of college football. OU has the most victories and best winning percentage of any team since the end of World War II. Going further back, the Sooners have the most wins and best winning percentage in major college football over the past 75 years (since 1935).

Fact: Oklahoma is the only school to have appeared in all five BCS bowl games.
The current BCS games include the Sugar, Fiesta, Orange and Rose Bowls plus the BCS National Championship Game (started in 2007). Oklahoma is the only program in the nation to have appeared in all five games. Since 2000, the Sooners have been to three Fiesta Bowls, two Orange Bowls and made one appearance in each of the Rose, Sugar and BCS games. Overall, OU has played in eight BCS bowl games including four for the national title.

Fact: Oklahoma has more 10+ win seasons than any other program.
No team has more seasons with 10 or more wins than Oklahoma. The Sooners have amassed 32 seasons with 10 or more victories -- the most of any program in the nation. OU also leads the nation in seasons with 11+ wins with 20. Oklahoma's enduring success on the gridiron is further reflected in the fact that the Sooners have recorded seasons with 10 or more wins in eight different decades since the first double-digit win season in 1915 (10-0).

Fact: Oklahoma has scored more points than any team in college football.
Michigan began playing football in 1879 and has since scored the second-most points in college football history. Who do the Wolverines trail? Oklahoma,which didn't start playing football until 16 years later in 1895. The Sooners have scored 31,437 points in their history, churning out a record average of 27 points over 1,168 games.

Fact: Oklahoma has the longest winning streak in college football history.
Oklahoma holds the NCAA record for most consecutive wins by a major college program at 47-straight. The streak spanned five seasons from 1953-57. Oklahoma's 47-game winning streak is considered one of the greatest feats in college football history. Since World War I, there have been only four streaks of more than 30 wins in major college football. OU owns two of the four.

Fact: Oklahoma has been ranked No. 1 by the AP more times than any other team.
OU has a long and illustrious history with the Associated Press Poll since the service began in 1936. The Sooners have been ranked No. 1 more than any team (97 weeks). The Sooners also own the most weeks in the Top 2 and the Top 5. The Sooners top the nation in average poll ranking and have the highest average finish in the final poll of any team.

Fact: No team has been No. 1 in the BCS more weeks than Oklahoma.
Since the introduction of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) in 1998, Oklahoma has been ranked more weeks at No. 1 and in the Top 5 than any other program in college football. The Sooners have been at the top of the BCS standings for a record 20 weeks and ranked in the top five for 46.

Fact: ESPN ranked Oklahoma the most prestigious college football program.
ESPN's research department ran all the numbers through the computer to come up with the No. 1 program of the past 73 seasons. "When you look at the big picture of college football since 1936, no program has achieved greatness as consistently as Oklahoma. We didn't even count the fact that Oklahoma owns the longest win streak in FBS history (47) or leads the nation with a .765 winning percentage since World War II."

Fact: Oklahoma is the only school to have four head coaches with at least 100 wins each.
Oklahoma is the only program in major college football to produce four head coaches with at least 100 wins each. Bob Stoops reached the mark against Washington in Seattle on September 13, 2008. The others? Barry Switzer (157 wins), Bud Wilkinson (145) and Bennie Owen (122).

Fact: No team has produced more unanimous All-Americans than Oklahoma.
Of Oklahoma's 152 All-Americans, 31 were accorded the highest honor -- unanimous selections -- as designated by the NCAA (named by all five official selectors: FWAA, AFCA, AP, Walter Camp andSporting News). No school in the nation has produced more unanimous All-Americans than Oklahoma in the history of college football.

Fact: Oklahoma has had at least one first team all-conference player every year since 1926.
Oklahoma has produced 448 first team all-conference players since Owen Acton first earned the honor in 1907. OU has placed at least one all-conference player on the first team every year since 1926 (85 seasons). In fact, OU has only had one season when playing in a conference without first-team honors (1925). That's 95 of 96 seasons.

Fact: OU has nearly as many Big 12 Championships as all the other teams combined.
Oklahoma won its seventh Big 12 title with a victory against Nebraska in the 2010 Big 12 Championship Game. Since the conference was formed in 1996, OU has won seven championships while all the other teams have combine for eight. OU is the only team to win back-to-back titles (2006-2007) and three-in-a-row (2006-2008).

Fact: The Sooners win a conference title nearly every other year.
Oklahoma won its first conference championship in 1915 and has since tacked on another 42. In other words, the Sooners average a conference title nearly every two seasons. That's precisely the pace Bob Stoops' teams have been on in recent years with Big 12 Conference crowns in 2010, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2004, 2002 and 2000.

Fact: Oklahoma is No. 4 in the nation in players selected in the NFL Draft.
OU has supplied 346 players all-time in the NFL Draft. Forty-two of those players were taken in the first round including three overall No. 1 picks (Bradford, Sims, Selmon). With Sam Bradford No. 1, Gerald McCoy No. 3 and Trent Williams No. 4 in 2010, Oklahoma became the first school ever to supply three of the first four NFL Draft picks.

Fact: OU is recognized for more national titles than any other team since 1936.
Utilizing the official selectors as recognized by the NCAA since the advent of the Associated Press poll in 1936, Oklahoma has earned national titles in more seasons (16) than any other team. The Sooners are followed in the Top 5 by Notre Dame (15), Ohio State (14), Alabama (12) and Southern Cal (12).

This is 4 different authors talking about the "modern era of football". All have differnt time tables, but all use the term. So I can see you struggling with our use of "1936" or "1950" or whatever other year, but to say Sooners are the only ones that use that term is absurd.

All right Wherr the Whorn, I'll be fair to you - the modern era is defined by programs differently depending on when the most successful times were for these programs. However, in OU's case, there's been constant, continued success since this "modera era" defined start.

So, start the modern era whenever you want. The start of the AP poll, the start of the BCS, the start of major television deals, whatever.

I like the 50s as being the start of the modern era, since this is when college football was starting to get opened up to black players... for awesome schools like OU, that is. Hook em took a bit longer.

1. Oklahoma Sooners
Total points: 1,968
Positives: When you look at the big picture of college football since 1936, no program has achieved greatness as consistently as Oklahoma. We didn't even count the fact that Oklahoma owns the longest win streak in FBS history (47) or leads the nation with a .765 winning percentage since World War II. The 1956 Oklahoma team catapulted the Sooners past Notre Dame to the top of the Prestige Rankings, and it's been in the top spot ever since. OU's seven national titles have spanned four decades. The Sooners have finished in the final poll's top 5 an astounding 29 times. But the real fuel for OU's rise to the top of our rankings has been its conference dominance. The Sooners finished the regular season with at least a share of their conference's best record a stunning 39 times, seven more than any other program in the country.

Anyway, 47 is still fixated on Greg Davis. I'm still waiting on a credible source that shows post WWII was the modern era. If it was "widely considered" this, it should be easy, no?

So a jump ball to limas sweed, and a designed QB sneak on 4th down in a 3 point game is easy?

Oh ya, when OU won their last title, the only points the team they beat for it scored were scored by Oklahoma.



Torrance Marshall did, fw. He was denied at Miami btw. And some of your players scored single digits on the wonderlic test as well (Chjoke Onyegetcha?) scored a 7 or 8.

yeah, you just compared a nobody corner to your greatest QB ever. Is that a joke? The guy that lead your ONLY team in the last 50 years to a national title is as smart as an OU corner.

Dude, Her, do you watch or read about college football? Yes, I have heard the "modern era" spoke of many times. Generally, it's considered to be when the AP poll came into being. We own it. Take your series record, the product of which is victories that came before the helmet or the forward pass, and the fact that the game is played in your home state, roll it up and shove it up your ***. We don't care. We'd rather be the best program in the nation and wouldn't trade it for victories over your underachieving program.

if you type in "modern era of college football" into google, there are several sites that have the "modern era" as starting in 1945. However, it is merely personal preference as to what the definition of it is. So there you go Herr, we can call it whatever we want, so get off our nuts son!

Sooners are always talking about post WWII as the modern era. Like the multiple guys right above you (not that any of those are credible sources and they definitely don't constitute that timeframe as "widely considered").

And Greg Davis has a more recent national title ring than your coaches.

Again, who said anything about 1950?

It seems your history knowledge and football knowledge are about the same.

I see this quoted by Sooners all the time but I've never seen it "widely" written about or quoted except for on OU websites. Why is 1950 the barometer in your minds besides the fact that this is when OU started winning? Was the forward pass common then? No. Was the equipment modern (helmets in particular)? No. Were there scholarship limits to even the playing field? No.


Since your reading comprehension is bad, perhaps you missed that blurb from ESPN that lists us as the No 1 program going back to 1936. Soonersports uses the end of WWII - 1945. So, to answer your question, there's a national media organization recognizing us as the No 1 program in the "modern" era. Deal with it whorn!

ding ding ding! Winnah.

Herr, The so-called 'modern era' can be said to have started with the influx of GI Bill players released from military service in 1945. Why? Because previously college was a far more elitist institution and one that was disproportionately white, anglo-saxon and protestant. It's thus kind of unfair to compare what went before with what came after.
<although many pre-war players would have made the cut after, a good many would not have - the quality of athlete went up drastically.>
<Further note; there should also be an asterisk denoting when teams started recruiting and playing black players. As Texas learned to its horror up to what? 1971? Once opponents integrated, the days of lily white teams winning much of anything was pretty much over. Again, you have to recognize these titanic shifts in college athletics for 'records' over time to mean much of anything.>
<final note: I have no citation for this. I relied on my own reasoning. Take it for what it's worth and feel free to wrap thyself around the nearest axle if you want to focus more on the 'widely accepted' part than on the 'modern era' part.>

7 or 8 wins sounds reasonable with all of the new schemes and I think most UT fans would be happy with that as long as we're improving. I blame last season on a variety of factors, 3 big ones of which were QB play, OT play and DT play. I think we'll be improved on the interior of the D line but not sure how much we will be better at the first two. Don't know how our O line got so bad so fast and I'm not a Gilbert fan. Hopefully Harsin's offense will allow us to score more than 21 per game on average though.

Oh and for what it's worth, good discussion on the modern era.

Regardless of the arbitrary reference to the "Modern Era" and all incumbent statistics therein, there is one undeniable fact......Texas, with all it's assets, is the most underachieving major college football program in the nation.

If OU had the wealth of bounty to draw from that UT has, we'd have won 20-30 NC's.

Teams like OU, Alabama, & yes, even Nebraska, shame the Horns in terms of success overcoming adversity. How do you fail as a coach @ UT? I mean, Fred Akers, David McWilliams, John Mackovic couldn't get it done. How does that happen? I mean, poor little OU & it's football program, a product of the dust bowl, made it possible for the late Walter Fondren to use his considerable support of the Coastal Conservation Association to overshadow his days as QB @ Texas when he was getting his *** handed to him by the Sooners.

We even gave the Horns a coach who was able to marshall all the considerable UT assets into a winning program but even he couldn't sustain it.

Don't get me started on UT.......classic underachievers. If Bob Stoops had been in Austin these past 10 years, the Horns would have probably won 3 NC's.

Never said it was the best indicator, just one. It's an impressive stat. And for the record, UT has played exactly two years longer than OU (1893 vs. 1895). UT is ahead of OU in winning % as well. You have to look at both of them. Boise St. is 4th all time in winning %. You can't look at those things in a vacuum. Tell me again which indicator is stupid?

OU has 3 more national titles than UT which were won in the 1950s when Bud Wilkinson had a big bag of cash funded by Oklahomans trying to create a positive image for the state. We have 4 clean national titles. I'll take that all day long.

As for what you can and cannot buy with your resources, I have no question that you and every program *yes us included* have used resources (with or without the school's knowledge) to bring in players in ways the NCAA might not like... hiring family members in do-nothing jobs, untraceable cash gifts, etc.

Hmmm, well to your first question... apparently yes. Because Tejas is the ultimate underachiever. Be proud, you're the best at something... underachieving!

And to your second point, I guess you didn't pick up on the point that part of the reason that lead to Dupree leaving was that he was NOT getting anything while people back home were saying he should.

Regarding the double wide, the only person that suggested that OU bought her a double wide was a known liar. But I guess the only evidence you need is that she said she wanted one and later got one so the liar doesn't even matter. You know, I say I want a lot of things before I go out and buy/finance them.

I also find it funny that you even bring up Dupree since it's documented that Tejas coaches bought him a very expensive pair of boots. Of course Tejas doesn't cheat though so I'm sure there's a good explanation for that coming.

Hmmm, well to your first question... apparently yes. Because Tejas is the ultimate underachiever. Be proud, you're the best at something... underachieving!
Take away the 1950s and Bud Wilkin$on's documented big bag of cash and and we'd be even in national titles. In fact, we'd have 5 if the correct team went to the big game in 2008.

Concerning Dupree, a double wide was obviously better than a pair of boots. The proof is in the pudding by where he ended up.

To be fair, I came over here to have a tongue in cheek conversation about what the modern era is (and it was fun). Then as usual over here, it devolved (not by my doing) into insults about UT and me personally. Enjoy your circle jerk over here. This is why people don't visit. Mindless okie hate.

Beat Texas Tech and you don't have to cry about it. Its not like you were Auburn in 2004 with an undefeated record. You lost a game. If you wouldn't have, you would have played in the title game that year. You only have yourselves to blame. :texan:

Well, actually 3 of the 4 human polls had UT higher than OU the week that was being decided. What fell in your favor was that you played the very worst team in Div II that year in Chatanooga and some of the computers didn't even know how to handle that and threw it out. Had you played a real team that weekend, we would've gone because your SOS would've dropped even lower (ours was higher than yours). Congrats on gaming the system.

Also, 80% of an online ESPN poll that week said UT should go. Also, every talking pundit save $witzer and that dumbass grandma Holtz said UT should go. So, a vast majority of people said it was the wrong result. The faulty computers (and Stoops' cronies who were jobbing us in the coach's poll) got your undeserving asses in there. And you lost, just like everyone knew you would.

Concerning Dupree, a double wide was obviously better than a pair of boots. The proof is in the pudding by where he ended up.

Where's the proof? Like I said, he left OU because we wasn't getting anything. If you want to use circumstantial evidence as 'proof' then I can say that he left because he wanted to get something and he wasn't getting it. It goes both ways you know. By the way, by your earlier posts it sounded like you think if you don't get caught then it isn't cheating. Well, YOU got caught. OU didn't.


The Big XII admitted the wrong result was reached btw by them later changing the tiebreaker rule.

Changing the rule two years later is hardly admitting it was wrong. Just that they would like to do it differently in the future. By the way, they voted to keep it the same following that actual season.


We would've won too.

You know what? I think we would have beaten Ohio State when LSU played them and we had the same record as LSU. I also think that if Jason White was healthy that we would have beaten LSU in the Sugar Bowl. Doesn't make it relevant. Certainly doesn't make it relevant enough to go to a rival's board and say so. Go cry somewhere else.


What fell in your favor was that you played the very worst team in Div II that year in Chatanooga and some of the computers didn't even know how to handle that and threw it out.

Because we beat them by 40+, if we had just edged by them, they would have been right up there with us. Are you saying it makes sense that it should hurt us to blow a top five team out rather than just beating by one?:rolleyes:

No need. 6 of your 7 titles were either immediately preceded or followed by major violations and probations. Heck, in two of your "title" years, you weren't even able to play in a bowl game because you were being punished for egregious cheating. Your 7th title is definitely in question because of the BRSI scandal.

In that game, OU let Oregon run up and down the field on them in the 4th quarter on the way to 3 TDs. And then OU missed a very makeable FG at the end. But that one call cost them the game?

The UT call was with 14 seconds left. Apples and oranges. I will say it was our fault we didn't get the ball in on that out of bounds play. I put that on Rick Barnes. You'll never hear a Sooner accepting blame for throwing up their dresses on D in the 4th quarter of that Oregon game though. Our fanbases are different that way.

No for the same reason. 1936 is the starting point because everyone can claim numerous undefeated seasons as retroactive, fictional national titles before that. SMU, TCU and A&M have actual tangible, verifiable, tangible titles.

Hilarious coming from the whiniest fanbase in America. You loons think the RRS is fixed every year and cry about the refs no matter what. I heard a LARGE Sooner contingent saying the refs cost you that game in 2005 even though we won 45-12 and we had 120 penalty yards vs. your 60.

Whats funny is you continually use the Te*as example as OU, Why else would yo be here whining about your shoulda wouldas?

No need. 6 of your 7 titles were either immediately preceded or followed by major violations and probations. Heck, in two of your "title" years, you weren't even able to play in a bowl game because you were being punished for egregious cheating. Your 7th title is definitely in question because of the BRSI scandal.

You know something the rest of the world doesn't? Care to elaborate? #7 was in 2000. "BRSI scandal" was years later. Years as in more than one.

Tie the two together. Make some type of connection. Please.

He wont ever understand this concept. Bottom line is OU was the best team in the Big 12 in 2008. Every athletic director in the conference agreed to the tiebreaker rules years before that season and because OU was clearly the most exciting team and had the least recent loss and highest margin of victory they got the nod.

Herr is a hypocritical idiot to say that our fanbase is the only one that complains about officiating and other outside influences (tiebreaker rules) while he is consistently whining about the 2008 tiebreaker. His team flew a g-damn banner over an OU game! He also backs this up with false claims that the "majority" of the sports world agreed that texas was better. Well thats funny because the people that matter (poll voters) didnt think so, so step outside of your bevo bubble every once in a while and realize that texas aint all that, actually quite the opposite.

When did Texas start playing football? (Wiki says 1893)
The University of Oklahoma started playing football in 1895, per the article.
Oklahoma became a STATE in Nov. 1907.

Are you really going to count all those wins...before STATEHOOD? Just sounds silly to me.
In 1904 against OSU, players dove into a nearby creek to recover an OSU punt. Is THAT "modern"? No.

Modern era is defined as the point where football actually resembles modern day football. It differs across the country.

I'll give you that one. I would still argue that crappy call was more of a screwjob than the infamous Oregon call. In that game, OU let Oregon run up and down the field on them in the 4th quarter on the way to 3 TDs. And then OU missed a very makeable FG at the end. But that one call cost them the game?

The UT call was with 14 seconds left. Apples and oranges. I will say it was our fault we didn't get the ball in on that out of bounds play. I put that on Rick Barnes. You'll never hear a Sooner accepting blame for throwing up their dresses on D in the 4th quarter of that Oregon game though. Our fanbases are different that way.

You are correct, Apples and Oranges. UT would have had to make a bucket to win.

OU would have had to take three knees.

So the bad call in Oregon was a lot worse than the call against you. You are correct, apples and oranges, and I finally have agreed with you on something in this thread.

OH! And don't forget it took three bad calls by the refs on that one play to give Oregon the ball. The first was the non-call on player touching the ball before it goes 10 yards. The second was that Allen Patrick actually recovered the ball. The third was the replay official deciding to NOT look at the side video showing the player touching the ball before it went 10 yards in the interest of expediency despite the fact he did see Allen Patrick recover the ball from the endzone feed (he admitted that later).

Any one of those three things happens the way it's written in the rule books and OU takes a knee three times and wins.

Yeah, not in the same league.

Because the rule was wrong, guy. As expressed by a vast majority of the country as well as accepted by the actual conference you're still in.

the rule was wrong? thats the most embarassingly dumb thing you've said in this thread.

at least spout off the typical horn "head-to-head is the only thing that counts" crap while conveniently ignoring that it was a 3-way tie, not simply a 2 way tie where head to head WOULD actually be relevant. instead of simply realizing that the rule had been in place for years and accept that there is no 100% fair outcome, cry, complain and pay thousands of dollars to fly a plane over a stadium and prove to the entire country what a whiny bunch of entitled bitches your fanbase has.

OK, it appears Herr "Oilcan" Scholz has gone back to his crack pipe so allow me to give you some background on what all is going on here in Austin among the whorn faithful. It is pathetic. It would be sad as well except that so many of the whorn faithful are, like our "Oilcan" here, bitter, resentful and delusional little haters. To be more specific this really only applies to their football fans. As a UT alum and Austinite I do go to a lot of UT sporting events. I love the baseball crowd and go to almost every home game. Although the basketball games resemble a morgue I enjoy them.
But the whorn football fanatics are a strange and infantile bunch. It is common at the baseball games to hear someone comment about a fan being obnoxious and/or making an *ss of himself how he must be a football fan.
This has been going on for a long time and is acknowledged openly by people who live here. Whorn football fans are way over-represented by cranks, drunks and racists. They are, perhaps, the worst bunch of racists left in the country. In EVERY gathering of alums I hear the boast about how UT was the last all-white national championship team. Really? It's sad but entirley predictable.
Ask "Oilcan" if he ever comes back to explain the Donnie Little saga.
Just know that 5-7 produced a mass tantrum in Austin. Their football team sucked. Mack Brown is a total tool. And since I get to hear what they say amongst themselves they deeply admire Stoops and would trade MB for him in a heartbeat. Ignore "Oilcan" and the other Kool-Aide drinkers like him. His avatar tells you all you need to know. It's perfect! Like Cartman he is a bitter, jealous hater given to fits of rage and self-delusion. He is a child. Thus the tantrums. They are all over town. You don't see them at other UT sporting events but hear them constantly whining "but, but we are the Jones's".
The good news is that it is going to only get worse. I saw both spring scrimmages, here and in Norman. The whorns are really, really bad. None of their QB's is ready for primetime. And even if they were I'm not sure it would really matter. Their O line is godawful bad. As for their RB's let me just say Fozzy is still the best they got. What they have in the secondary was hard to tell in the scrimmage b/c their WR's are not good.
But they will certainly have the biggest and flashiest media guide in the country and not doubt "Oilcan" and his friends will sleep with it.
As for what I saw in Norman?

I see this quoted by Sooners all the time but I've never seen it "widely" written about or quoted except for on OU websites. Why is 1950 the barometer in your minds besides the fact that this is when OU started winning? Was the forward pass common then? No. Was the equipment modern (helmets in particular)? No. Were there scholarship limits to even the playing field? No.

We were recently voted the number one program in the modern era. It wasn't by OU fans or an OU website. We're enjoying our success here. You weren't invited.
