Hey I was 3/4 right hahahaOriginally Posted by SoonerForLife92
I was wrong about the line and saying we'd be 10-2. I did say I hope we spoil everything for TCU and Baylor and called out bad fans. Also that we needed to run more.

Just goes to show, Nothing is written in stone no matter how many say or think it is. I'm sure the stoops bashers will be out in full force if the team take's a lose in the playoffs, Till then they are silent waiting to pounce and to say, see i told you so!!!
Been a great year no matter what. B12 CHAMPS!!
Lol....More Dip****s.....!!!!..**** em....!
Hey... maybe T BOONE can pony up and start a Stilleater newspaper... but the players would probably just use it to roll the weed.
The chicken littles are so cute. Then their crap gets tedious. Oh well, try as one might, you just can't understand things for some people.

You are so right. The odds will be against us in the playoffs as we would have to go through 2 teams that are likely better than any we've played so far. The downers will be back with the I-told-you-so saying we built a team to win a crappy conference that can't compete at the national level. The reality is you have to win your conference first or you're out and we just did that. Boomer!
I am clearly one of those Chicken Littles, given that I started this thread. And I have rarely been more happy to be proven wrong. Those who felt as I did, don't necessarily love Sooner Football any less than those who are taking pleasure in pointing out our incorrect predictions. We just viewed the evidence at the time differently.
I have better things to do today than read through the history of this thread. But I wonder how many entries unambiguously predicted going undefeated after the Texas loss and getting into the playoff?
Like everyone else, I hope I am seeing the beginning of a very long term stay of OU football at the elite table of college football. Because that is where it belongs. What Duke, North Carolina, and Kansas are to college basketball…so should OU be to college football.
Not big on message board bashing of players or coaches but at the end of last season mstoops looked lost, disinterested, whatever you wanna call it. This season has been a huge surprise. We have some great leaders on this team and if it carries over to the younger players we'll be back in the mix for awile.
Thats all i can ask for. Rest up boys, no meaningless bowl game this season!
SPEK. This team had a LOT of growing up to do early on, and they did it at light speed to be in this situation THIS season.
I am so glad I didn't post in this thread before now...lol.

Snr, let me be clear, while I thought we had no unwinnable games on our schedule this year, I figured we'd drop at least 1 or 2. My happy/disappointed line was around 10 wins. This was because I figured we'd have too much 'new' to do much more.
What drew my ire was not differing opinions but the negativity and vitriol directed at the program by some.

Same here, but I didn't project any "ire" over it. I just didn't think it was rational the judge that all the changes were ineffective after 5 games of the season. Especially on offense, I thought it would take most of a season to install a new system and have the players clicking on execution. The defense had already shown signs of improvement over last year by that time.
EDIT: I just read what I wrote - I admitted that I thought fans would be rational! In my defense, I was almost 2 months younger back then.

Behind the anger of every OU fan back on October 10th, was an OU fan who loves Sooner football. You may think the anger was unfair or out of proportion, but I still think it worth remembering that it came from a person who cares about Sooner football probably as much as you do.
Great job on the reverse jinx.
I think we get housed in the first round by the first real team we play, but hey it worked so far!
Yep. We're DOOMED! regardless of which team or where.
I need more evidence.
It's cute until they do serious harm to our program.
We will most likely seriously miss Stoops when he is gone. The guy has won 9 freakin' Big 12 titles - something we weren't sure would ever happen back in '98.
The problem is that some of these people have such an overinflated view of OU football that they'll likely bring the program down because they expect conference titles every year and national titles ever few years. It's okay to want it and for the program to strive for it but if you expect it and fire coaches who don't achieve it you're setting yourself up for problems. This isn't unique to OU of course. See LSU.
When you least expect it the Football Gods smile on Norman.

My prayer is that some OU players don't go all crazy and lose their eligibility or worse before the playoffs.
I've been impressed that this year the Sooners have stayed relatively healthy. No season-ending injuries as in years past.
5-0
BOY HOWDY !!!!
I'm thinking GPS ankle monitor on BM, you?
Glad Boz is one of them...sure he has a soft spot for OU~
How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!

“I just want to also say I’m more determined than ever to get Oklahoma back in the position to competing for national championships like we have so many other times. My dedication and commitment has been questioned before in the last few weeks, and I promise you I’m as dedicated and committed as I ever have been since the day I walked in here. I have a lot invested in this program and no one cares about it more than I do, and I’m anxious and excited moving forward to make improvements and get us back in the position where we’re competing for national championships like we have so many other times.” -- Oklahoma Head Coach Bob Stoops
Just a reminder.
