Colorado beat Texas 39-37 at Texas Stadium, the game where Simms threw the ball away in the first half and Applewhite almost brought them back.

Stoops has won it every even year since his arrival into the conference.

That game was such a hoot! Applewhite managed to totally embarass Mack Brown by showing the world, yet again, that he ought to have been the starting QB...but the Whorns still lost! Didn't quite make up for OU's blowing the South that year, but it sure was fun to watch. :D

Yeah, it's going to be hard to catch stoops when everyone except Brown are gone. And I doubt Mack will catch him anytime soon.

yep...they're the only two active coaches with a XII title.

But that doesn't tell the story very well since Mack's just won 1 more than a dead man.

What the hell are you talking about?

Here's a Big XII 'Ship Game Q or two:

Has Stoops ever been an underdog in the BXIICG? (I don't recall the spread in '00.)

No team has repeated as BXII Champ. Besides us, who has had the opportunity to repeat?? (Maybe col. in '02?)

In fairness, that dead man can coach like a mother****er.

How 'bout this: He has one more than I do, and I like to quick-kick on first down every time to catch them off guard!

Yep... except for the years he hasn't won it.

It will be nice to add another year to the west wall. :D

It's an even year, and going by precedent ('00, '02, '04), Stoops will win Saturday... right? :)

I think that we all would agree that OU is lucky to have Bob Stoops.

I'm crossing my fingers here, but I say we are going to win it the next three years including this year.

I'm really liking our chances for next year as well.

Even without a QB. ;)

Since AD's coming back, I'd say... yes.

Edit: Dang, forgot my ;)

Get with the program. Next year will be odd (07)... without a quarterback.

My thoughts exactly,mak it down as a done deal.

The Major's role in "almost bringing them back" is greatly exagerrated IMO. While no doubt he played better than Simms that night (not saying much), the fact is that UT scored all of 6 offensive points in the entire second half until 31 seconds were left in the game. If not for Barnett's incredibly stupid brain-fart in calling a fake punt that was returned for a TD, the game wouldn't have even been close at the end.

Texas 7 10 3 17-37
Colorado 7 22 7 3-39

l buff, you are my definition of "drive by poster".

Miko

I had remembered that game as a major beat down. I didn't recall the final as being that close. It seemed like everytime I looked up a col. running back was plowing over a horn db like ralphie on a stampede.

You call it "drive-by posting" ... I call it "correcting revisionist Whorn history."

I hate to be captain killjoy and the bring-me-downs, but last year about this time we were saying that the north always wins in odd years and the south always wins in even years.

But Texas had to screw the pooch and win in an odd year. Those flamers.
