Its a frustrating thing....

[jthomasou78]

The day I heard Rhett Bomar and another offensive lineman were out because of stupidity, I really thought this was going to be like last year, an f'ing nightmare.

However, I think we have played markedly better then last year. A healthy AD definitely helps, but the offense looks good. And yet here we are 3-2 trying to figure out whats next.

[boomersoonerdude]

What next? We'll going to beat the hell out of Iowa State and everyone else after that. Then we'll wait for Tech and A&M to take over Texas.... Then we'll play for the Big XII championship...

Sound like a good game plan?

[MarylandSooner]

Do not forget their game with Nebraska, not a gimme.

[yermom]

well, 3-2 is better than 2-3 :D

of course, we might be playing for the Holiday Bowl again if we win out though since the North might actually have some decent teams

depends on what the Bugeaters and Mizzou do

[AustinTXHorn]

I think Thompson has been just as good, if not better, than Bomar would have been this year.

[yermom]

yeah, but then we still would have had him for another year or two

[AustinTXHorn]

Good point.

-We're better than the three teams coming here...no reason we should lose in Norman in '06.

Away

Mizzou
A&M
Baylor
O St.

-Missouri is 6-0 and Daniel continues to improve every weekend. Gonna be tough.

-Texas Aggy likes to pretend they're the '85 Bears whenever we come to town...gonna be tough.

-Baylor's better...not good. We win.

-Oklahoma Aggy gets their annual Super Bowl in their last game before basketball season....won't be easy.

[yermom]

i'm more worried about Baylor than OSU

i think Mizzou may be tough, we had a tough time of it the last time we went there, and we haven't exactly set the world on fire outside of Norman so far

[dolemitesooner]

We win out you....guys ae out of your mind......10-2 at the Hoilday bowl we play Oregon mark it down

True MU is playing well but their best win is TEXAS TECH.If we don't beat OUrselves we should win OUt.If we have 5 TOs and 11 penalties we could lose to everyone left on our schedule.

good point, they're probably the better team at this point.

I just think the "this game is our season and we're at home" mentality that State always brings into the game will be a factor. Adrian (if still healthy) might run for 300 yards on them though.

Should be an interesting ride through the rest of '06...we'll learn a whole lot about the direction of the program in terms of confidence for '07 and beyond...and it'll impact recruiting.

we go 10-2 and I bet we go to the Cotton to play an SEC team...

you could get your pimp suit back and blend in w/ the LSU fans ;)

No I think the loser of the big 12 Championship will go there. I am thinking Nebraska. We are the thrid best team and we go to the Hoilday bowl. and we beat the **** out of Oregon.

[Octavian]

True MU is playing well but their best win is TEXAS TECH.

that win was in Lubbock w/ a quarterback in his first year...we'll learn more this week when they travel to College Station.

I agree that if we limit our own mistakes, we'll win out.

[yermom]

i think it will be Cal again in the Holiday this year

and we could end up in San Antonio possibly if we win out

[Octavian]

depends on if Texas wins in Lincoln and beats them again in the CCG.

that'd give the Huskers 3 losses and send them West.

[yermom]

ooh, i didn't think about the Huskers playing Texass twice

[StuIsTheMan]

THIS HAS GOT TO HAPPEN....that is if we don't win the 12. But if we do win the 12 we get a BCS bid right?...This will **** everyone off again...i.e. UofO he he he he.

But another shot at the duck's would make this season for me...Living here in Porkland Oregon has really sucked after that game...I don't here as much bitching from Sooner fans here. Just a bunch of Fowl saying WE BEAT JOKELAHOMA....If I got to here that for another year...Someone gonna die...

[yermom]

Texas has to lose twice for us to be able to win out and make the championship game

i don't really see it happening

stranger things have happened though

[OUTrumpet]

i think it will be Cal again in the Holiday this year

I know the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, FL has a Big 12 tie in this year, and I think they're between the Cotton and Holiday in terms of picking. I think it's Big 12 #3 vs ACC #2

[yermom]

weird

i was thinking like last year where the Alamo Bowl was Big 12 #4

[The Maestro]

WHAT IF...USC loses to Cal and Notre Dame? They would finish second in the Pac 10 and be out of the BCS picture.

Can you imagine if we got Oregon or USC in the Holiday Bowl? That would be the biggest game, either way, that wasn't apart of the BCS.

Gator Jan. 1 - ACC #3 vs. Big 12/Big East/Notre Dame

Cotton Jan. 1 - Big 12 #1 after BCS vs. SEC #1 after BCS

[nytehorn]

They usually have the loser of the Big XII Championship game, unless TOTAL LOSERS like CU last year. If Nebraska or Missouri only lose 2 regular season conference games, and then the CCG, then they will probably be #2. Either way, it will make a GREAT game for OU. Auburn, Alabama, or Georgia in Cotton....or USC, Cal, Oregon in Holiday. Personally, I would rather see you guys beat the hell out of USC, but that is just me. All of my OU buddies at work want you to finish either #2 or #4, to have a close bowl game that they can attend.

[85Sooner]

Good point.


thEN WE WOULD BE ON A 2 YEAR probation with no bowls etc...
