KU '75 - OU still managed to slip into MNC title through the backdoor.Originally Posted by soonervegas
I've yet to come to grips with losing the Conference title to KSU. I understand the mechanics of what happened. But it was a horrible loss.
up there with KU, Ark, OSU, USC, WVU, and KSU...

4 hours of memory i'll never get back, thankfully. was like somebody hit me in the head with a bat, without all the blood loss.
I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.
Agree with this. At least we showed some fight against Tech. That KSU game was baffling. Also horribly cold in the stands, so double-**** that.
i wouldnt say its our worst loss in history, but possibly the worst loss at home
this is bull****
I will be very surprised and highly over joyed if we beat OSU.
It's just entertainment!
Lost in Mexifornia (Irvine, CA)

At least with Taco Tech we had everybody healthy. With KSU, Jason White broke his hand and was knocked so bad he doesn't remember a quarter or two of that game (can you say concussion?). In retrospect, it's easy to see why we lost. The TT loss is just baffling in every respect.
Everyone healthy at TT? How about Whaley, Flemming and I someone else (Wort?).
The team was far from healthy

After what OSU is doing to them in Lubbock today...quite possibly.
I'd say what ISU did to Tech, nothing OSU does makes it any worse.
Worst loss in the Stoops era for sure. An inexcusable loss in what was supposed to be a special season ending a 39 game home winning streak.
This ^ and Arkansas
If my memory serves right, 2001 we were ranked #1 with the nation's longest win streak after our MNC. We lose to a&m at their house when Reggie McNeal makes his first start after halftime. We stand back up and are poised to slip back into the Big 12 championship and the MNC game, when a 1 win OSU team comes to our house in Les' first year and beats us 16-13 on a last second td. I was there that day. That was bob's first home loss and the worst, by far!
It's a little known fact...of all the liquors...Tequila is the most jealous. They don't teach you this in school.
One of the worst...
I rank it as the worst in Stoops' era for sure. The worst was KU '75 before it. Not sure which I would go with.
It's one that Stoops might rue for a very long time though. Even if he never admits it.
Of course, if we make it to the NC and win, then it will have not mattered, and if we lose to OSU then it will have not mattered. But if we win out, and still dont get to the NC game, then there will be great weeping and gnashing of teeth. Garments will be rent.
you don't remember that right, unfortunately... but I understand trying to forget we lost our starting QB in a top 5 matchup on the road aty Nebraska, were given a Mulligan for such an unfortunate happening and proceeded to **** ourselves at home against a 1 or 2 win OSU team. That OSU loss is still the worst. If we beat OSU, IMO it remains the worst, as if we lose to OSU, we let O-freaking SU into the National Championship game, where they likely beat an offensively offensive SEC team.
