I'm not sure my parameters aren't so narrow as to say winning it all - five more years and it'll be what? 19 or 20 years since we've won one?
Even the ladies down at the cotillion might have had enough by then!

It's not my wager, so you can set it however you want, but I'd say being top 4 (as in, if the regular season ended that day, they'd be in the playoffs) at some point during the last 2-3 weeks of the regular season. Honestly, being in the hunt would probably be broader than that, but it's still easy money for 8x either way.

Stoops' teams have played in 4 NC games in the last 14 or so seasons, and if you expand that out to only being top 4, I'd imagine you'd push that out to at least 6 or 7. Do the math.
If Shep sticks around and DGB stays out of trouble, your odds aren't very good just for a one year bet.
Yes...and feel free to quote me on it. Have you seen how our schedule finishes? Baylor is our only tough game left. None of the other teams are of TCU or KSU's caliber...maybe not even Tennessee or WVU quality.
It's entirely possible we only win 9. We could possibly win 11, too. Who knows exactly?
I think I'm going to do what was recommended in a previous thread and in the future not only curtail my expectations of Sooner FB but not buy in any more to the pumper off-season hype.
I'll be glad when we're prepared to play on Saturdays in the fall, our coaching staff doesn't look like the keystone cops when either getting the offensive play in the game in a reasonable amount of time as well as being able to be on the same page so we don't burn critical time-outs in the 1st or 3rd quarter.
I'll just be happy when we're "in the hunt again" for another unshared Big 12-4+2 championship, (no matter how watered down this conference is), and just be ecstatic when our team is lucky enough to show up with some quality bowl game preparation and actually not be embarrassed but win the major bowl game.

I wouldn't mind having a new OC with some new original plays
How many NC's has Bob played in during the past 6 years? How many times has his team been in contention for a NC during the last six years as the middle of November rolled around?
ZERO.
Hence, his RECENT record has shown NOTHING to indicate that he can produce a national championship team.
The 2008 season is ancient history in this sport. What OU did that season is TOTALLY irrelevant to what it can do in the future.
And while we're taking about 2008, that is just evidence of another horrendous coaching decision Stoops made. How do you think Jason Garrett would react if Jerry Jones said, "Jason, want you to start using Demarco to return kickoffs". Think Garrett would believe that's a smart idea?
