    Football Gods smite OU?!?!

    Give me a head coach who will defend his players instead of bowing down to the PC police!

    Maybe the Football Gods feel the same way?!?!

    ...I would imagine some of the players on the team feel that way! (Though I'm sure they're not gonna say so)

    I dunno what the Football Gods think. But I do know that Sugar Bowl win feels like it was 10 years ago.

    Sloppy sloppy play, and poor play calling at crucial moments in the game. Stoops gets ultra premium pay. The product delivered is far from premium.

    I don't mind Stoops making big money but with it comes the responsibility of making the tough calls concerning staff that will improve said product. That was Mack Browns biggest fault and maybe cost him an NC or 2.

    Pick 6, 2 missed FG, Blocked xp and a missed FG or poss TD on a dumb reverse pass were the difference. I lay blame to the coaching staff on the pick 6 and the dumb reverse pass and clearly it was on the players on the botched FG's and blocked XP. To me at least it seems things were evenly screwed up.

    Re: Football Gods smite OU?!?!

    2 missed FG's, and a blocked XP by one of the best kickers in the country says I'm right about the Football Gods being pi**ed!

    ...but on the positive side I'm certain Bob is welcome at the Ladies Fall Cotillion.

    Yes, If the announcers are knowledgeable enough about the track record of the guy who blocked the x-point, why the hell aren't our coaches prepared for it? Or perhaps they were, and Savage just seriously busted his assignment…

    Lots of little things being missed that add up to a big loss.

    Why would you think the coaches weren't prepared for it? I don't like to call college kids out, but Savage was very lazy in protection on that play. That's on him, not the coaches.

    I think the reverse pass was a terrible call by Heupel. There was no reason to call that play at that point (TK had looked pretty damn good, and we were running the ball decently on that drive).

    On the pick 6, I don't put that on Heupel. That's a run/pass read option, TK just can't make that throw. It was a Landry Jones moment, because Landry would make those kinds of mistakes, but come right back and score (which Knight did).

    This loss goes more on the players than the coaches, but there was certainly some issues with the coaches today too.

    This was all on players for not making plays, as with most games. Bob stoops mansion is not at fault here. GTFO!

    PC police? Did I miss something? How has THAT affected the outcome of this game?
    The enduring image of Oklahoma was that ridiculous double–middle finger of a game-icing kick. It was probably an accident, which somehow made it more, not less, insulting. It was as though Stoops had partied so hard on the corpse of the SEC that he woke up with an unplanned tattoo.

    I think it means it would be good to have Frank Shannon and Joe Mixon on the field.

    Not necessarily, but the Football Gods like it when you have your player's backs.

    I guess I just don't see those cases as a matter of Stoops failing to stand up for his players. Shannon was done in by the Title IX internal investigation. If Stoops tries to influence that, we're looking at big time sanctions. And if the Mixon video is as bad as everyone says, it sounds like Stoops' call was a no-brainer. I'd characterize those two cases as a matter of poor judgment by the players, not Stoops. Feel free to disagree though.

    It is funny how nobody was b!tching about the loss of those 2 being the determinative factor for our season after the WVU game.

    What was the read option on the P6? It appeared as though he didn't read anything. Granted, I'm no offensive football whiz (actually, there probably are those that find me offensive) but it seems like that was a poor play to even have on the table at that point.

    That's lovely, but you don't suit up for OU, am I right?
