Did the Sooners have more Day 1 picks...

[TJKDone]

Than the Longhorns? Could that possibly be true?

Hook'em

[BASSooner]

yup i think they did

[Desert Sapper]

It's possible the whorns could win another championship next year, because the Sooners obviously lost more talent in the draft. Maybe this was an up year rather than a down year for us. That would mean...*gulp*...Saxet returns more talent next year... We better prepare for the whornish onslaught in the RRS next year and for another 10 years after that. The whorns are the best football team on the planet. Oh woe is me!:rolleyes:

[Bevo-Stevo]

Yes.....I believe that's true. And yet, UT still destroyed ou 45-12. Amazing!! Hook 'em.

Destroyed? 45-12 no, a butt-kicking. 65-13 and 63-14 is destroyed.

Have to agree with the Sooner on this one. We whipped em, but not like they whipped us.

However, if we didn't have as much talent (that is according to NFL GM's) what else could have contributed to the win?:D

[okienole3]

You had talent, but your guys had character issues. Rodrique Wright has talent, he is just a lazy SOB.

[rhombic21]

Chis Chester didn't play against Texas. Travis Wilson was injured. Davin was playing out of position because Millington quit right before the season started. And Peterson, of course, was injured.

Fix those things, and I like our chances.

One board in Austin is not able to contain our insight any more than one school in Austin is able to use all the high school football talent in Texas. In both cases it tends to overflow across the river.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

One could say over the last 30 years that the better talent has come across the river and the lesser talent was left to Austin Community college..I mean the University of Texas

[GreaterState]

If one said that, one would think that OU had won more of those head-to-head games in 30 years, but they haven't. Better stick to the "since 1950" argument you guys love ... oh, Texas has won more RRS games since 1950 too.

[freshchris05]

One game(not matter how great it is) is not better than a NC so dont kid yourself

[freshchris05]

Texas is this Texas is that... WHATEVER if Texas is anything its a school for underachievers... all that talent comes up north because NC's are a lil better than being able to say we won the RRS

[GreaterState]

Thanks, it does feel good to be national champions!

[freshchris05]

Yeah the more you get the better it feels...

In between texas's NC's there was:


1,820 episodes of Meet The Press
12,783 days have passed
Cold war ended
All of the Friday the 13th movies were made
3,498 Grateful Dead concerts
The Space Shuttle . . . was invented
The handheld calculator was invented
8-track tapes popularized
Voicemail, fax, and carphones invented
The Carpenters had many hit singles
Disco. Freaking disco happened since their last NC.
Three's Company, Alice, The Jeffersons
Seven U.S. Presidents
The John 3:16 guy at NFL games.
The Vietnam War ended
The Gulf War occurred
MTV aired
Velcro was invented
Disposable diapers were invented
The Cosby Show, Cheers, and Seinfeld began and ended
Monday Night Football came and went
And of course, OU won their 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th

Actually over the last 30 years the series record is 14-14-2. We are both very even for you guys taking all the best players and sending all of the crappy players up north. We weren't the ones claiming that we got ALL of the best players in Texas and left the scraps for everyone else. We won 4 National Titles between your second and third title, and we won 3 before you won your first one. So does YOUR cream of the crop selections just not play well or perhaps do you not get the quality of players you like to brag about.

[GreaterState]

Actually it's 14-13-3, Texas. But I can understand why you'd want to convert a tie to an OU win.


We won 4 National Titles between your second and third title

You won 4 titles between '69 and '70? Sooners are superhuman.

I know what you were trying to say, but we can't let factual errors get out of hand. You might forget that we have more titles/wins/whatever in reality than what Sooner reality usually reflects.

And you're the one who first said the better talent came across the river over the past 30 years. So one would think they'd at least win more than Texas, if not a lot more, for you to say that.

:texan:

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

69, 70, and 2006 are the only ones I have ever heard

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I apologize for not being as obsessed about Texas as you are about OU

[GreaterState]

Speaking of that, I suppose it's just good you're posting on a day when you're actually allowed to talk about Longhorns. :rolleyes:

No. 1 Texas beat Staubach and No. 2 Navy in 1964 Cotton Bowl, 28-6.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Coming from a person on an opponent's board I will take anything you say with a VERY small grain of salt. However, good job attacking the numbers and ignoring the message of my post earlier, How do you explain winning ONLY one more game with vastly superior talent?

[47straight]

Thanks, it does feel good to be national champions!

It's pathetic that after 5 months, you still haven't learned to act like you've been there before.

Oh wait, you haven't been there before! (been sooo long)


Texas is the new KState. New money is always more annoying that old money. Etc etc

[rhombic21]

I really don't understand the point of this thread.

Texas had 2 top 10 players picked, including the top quarterback and defnesive back.

You can twist those numbers any way that you want.

And like I explained earlier, a significant number of OU's first day picks were either hurt during the Texas game, or were forced to play out of position because somebody else was hurt/no longer with the team.

:confused: Are you all turned around or maybe have combined me and a few other posters? Here's my involvement in the thread: Your "post earlier" said better talent in past 30 years went to OU. I said, funny they haven't won more games than Texas then. If there's anything to be explained, it's your comment.

Unless the answer is the standard reason why superior talent loses games. I doubt you meant to go that way, though.

Unless the answer is the standard reason why superior talent loses games. I doubt you meant to go that way, though.You are lame. You know OU has better talent AND coaching than Uterus this year. We should be favored by at least a field goal and you're just trying to get your money's worth. Enjoy it. :twinkies:

Dude... I'm looking forward to this game more than I have in years. Oh how I long for that win.

[picasso]

anybody remember the run OU went on after it won the 2000 title? do you think Texas can come close to matching it?

[Big Red Ron]

anybody remember the run OU went on after it won the 2000 title? do you think Texas can come close to matching it?Not really. Remember we played what, eight Fresh. in our national championship and had a Jr. transfer from Georgia (N8) the next season. Also, we have Bob and the have the "Clapper."

[picasso]

I know I'm going to be blamed for living in the past but we went on quite a run. it can't last forever, never does in any program.
I doubt seriously Texas will take 5 in a row from us and I doubt they will pull in the conference titles we accumulated.

[BASSooner]

that's why their win streak will stay at 1

[AlbqSooner]

this october will send them all cowering back to nazikatieland with their tails betwixt their legs
Have to disagree with this Scott. Even when they absorb a 63-14 or whatever from OU they are so delusional as to believe it was not deserved and that they will be taking revenge the next year. ("They are NOT better than us, the just aren't.")

Delusional Whorn is a statement that is unnecessarily redundant.:D

[SoonerShark]

Yes.....I believe that's true. And yet, UT still destroyed ou 45-12. Amazing!! Hook 'em.

You forget four sets of important numbers. One new QB for Oklahoma. Then there are seven game officials for Texas. Next, remember VY's two interceptions questionably called back. And finally, five top rated U of T recruiting classes that were beaten by "outmanned" Oklahoma 63-14, 14-3, 35-24, 65-13 and 12-0, the latter three with VY on campus.

[SoonerShark]

Thank God UT has higher rated recruiting classes than us this year, we always embarrassed them more when they had all of the advantages.

No, I'm pretty sure other than the 5 who showed up and posted regularly before this past season, the rest of them will return to that crappy feelgood forum they have to not return.

[crimson&cream]

Chis Chester didn't play against Texas. Travis Wilson was injured. Davin was playing out of position because Millington quit right before the season started. And Peterson, of course, was injured.

Fix those things, and I like our chances.

Plus even at that we were driving towards a TD if somebody had picked up the blindside that cuased Bomar's fumble and they scored on it. Had we went ahead an scored it's 38-21 who knows what could have happened after that. Another OU score and the Longwhoren's are in a dog fight. But, if's don't win ballgames, but makes it interesting what might have happened. In the games we scored over 60 point on the Longwhoren's there were no if's for them. AS that IS being destroyed. No if ands or but's. Over 60 points twice in 5 yrs. OUCH!

[Bevo-Stevo]

Dude... I'm looking forward to this game more than I have in years.
That makes two of us. Oct. 7th cannot get here fast enough.

[shavedmarmoset]

I don't know, whorns. You make it seem like you have a one-game season. But people across the country don't hear about rivalry wins. They hear about national championships. We have more than you...shove it.
