Could OU score 51 on OSU in basketball?

Maybe if OSU gave Pledger a 10 yard cushion like they did on the receivers today.
 
Shouldn't have been that close.

If the OU coaches don't get in the way on that first drive, OU might have never trailed. That and stupid turnovers kept it close. The OU offense was the best unit on the field last night.

I think the team might play better if OU's coaches stayed in the locker room. ;)

Surely you're joking. Randle is the best back in the Big 12.

Chelf vs first year starter Bell at home next year? I like our chances

Gundy is a better coach then sooners give him credit for. He almost beat you guys in Norman with his 3rd string QB making his first career road start
 
Not sure why some OU fans have such a hard time giving OSU any credit. They've made some good strides in their FB program and held a two score lead on us for a good portion of the game. They looked like the better team for stretches and I feel pretty darn lucky that we got out of it with a W. We only managed one lead the entire game, but we picked the perfect time to have it. :)

LOL @ calling him your third string QB, then predicting him to start next year.

He started yesterday b/c he is currently your #1 QB.

Because they've only beaten OU once in the last 10 years.

True, but considering that we're a helmet program and supposedly pull better talent, we should be beating them like that. They are far from the gimme win they used to be. A lot of it has to do with the differing mentalities IMO. They approach Bedlam the way we do the RRR, and we tend to approach it the way UT approaches the RRR. Yesterday's game just about gave me a heart attack. :)
 
I think Gundy has become a good coach. They alway scrapped hard with players that OU didn't recruit. Since Gundy has come on board they are getting much better prospects. They will be tough moving forward.

We need better linemen on both sides of the ball. I know that the offensive line has been damaged by injuries and even the ones on the field have probably been playing hurt. But this is probably the weakest front four in the Stoops era and we don't have that dominant linebacker we usually have. Maybe we are recruiting too many skill players at the expense of the big uglies.

Nope.

On another board I showed that the number of Oline, Dline, and I believe LB's on our roster is on par with other teams in the conference.

We just have to either recruit better ones, or coach them up better. But it doesn't appear, to me anyways, to be a case of us not recruiting "enough".

Yes, they are far from the gimme win they used to be. But so what? They have been better for a while now. And yet, we're 9-1 against them in the last ten games.

When do oswho's feet get held to the fire? If they're as good a program as some (they) would have us believe, then it's time they were held to the standards to which good programs are held. oswho gets to have it both ways -- when they win, they get all the praise due them, and then some. When they lose, it's "Well, gosh, they're a lot better than they used to be, so hats off to them."

They've lost four games this season, and they might well lose a fifth on Saturday. If OU had done that this season, no one would be tipping their hats for our valiant efforts and the fact that we don't suck the way we did in the '90s. They had a ten-point lead in the fourth quarter and they lost. If they want to be considered a top program, let them take the same grief for that as we would (and do, when it happens). Or they can tout moral victories till their cows come home, if they wish, but then don't expect any self-respecting college football fan -- especially Sooner fans -- to pat them on the back and give them a ribbon for not being the utterly dismal program they used to be.

And don't be downgrading our success against texas by pretending that texas doesn't care enough about the RRS. That's some Mack Brown-level BS right there.

Losing by 3 in OT on the road when you're a TD+ underdog is a "choke?"

OK.

The choke is probably coming more from the way OSU lost the game with the leads they had.

Certainly losing to OU by 3 in Norman is not a choke.

Sorry, but Williams couldn't hold Randle's jock. Atleast the Williams out there now after the injury.

He's not your third string QB obviously
 
Yeah I look forward to drafting Randle on to my fantasy team one day. I think he's a really good back.

No, he's not the 3rd string QB.

But he was making his 3rd overall start, and first on the road.

Considering that OU was countering with a 5th year senior who set the all-time Big 12 passing record during the game, I think we did pretty well to put ourselves in a position to win the game.

We'll see what happens next year in Stillwater.
