Let's Go

The football team has alot of young starters. Next year you have Shepard and Green-Beckham. Mayfield will be competing against Knight. Not sure if Shannon has another year. OU will be better next year. Yes, OU has a chance for Big 12. Stranger things have happened. W Virginia beat Baylor.

OU loses the mainstays on the offensive line next year - history shows that teams without returning offensive linemen do poorly.

Nope. Wilson was a great Offensive mind. Look at the offense under him, barring when we had a WR (Paul Thompson) playing QB from 2006-2010. I know we had some freak athletes but we had a record setting offense

I didn't say Wilson wasn't a good OC; I said our fans *****ed and moaned about him, and that's true.

I don't buy the excuse that we lost our fullback and Bell was injured. That is why we can't not get a touchdown on 3rd and inches. We had the fullback and Bell when we were fourth and one at TCU, we got stopped too. Both of those teams knew that we would go straight the middle and stopped us. Play calling was not creative enough.

There were no lead blockers in either of the two games you speak of.

Stoops is a mediocre head coach. It's been apparent for years. His brother Mike is not even mediocre. It's funny to hear people blaming the OU offensive coordinators for a decade. News flash, it's not them. It's Boob.

Wow, you sound just like several of the a$$clowns on OUInsider. So winning 10 games every year is mediocre?? If so you truly are clueless. Try 6-6 or maybe 7-4...that's mediocre. Sounds like some of us are just truly a bunch of spoiled whiny kids. If Stoops doesn't play for a NC at least every other year then he needs to go...because we're "OU". And "OU" doesn't accept 10-2 seasons. Is that your thoughts too Bull?? I'll take 10-2 every year if our 2 losses are by a total of 5 points and could have easily gone the other way...I'll take my chances with that. There's not much room to improve from 10-2...and if you are expecting a new coach to go 12-0 every year...then you are hopeless.
 
Wake up. College football is not an even competition. Games versus ranked teams are the only true measurement and Boob has a hidious record. You really think a win against La Tech or Iowa State is a reflection of coaching?

Very disappointing loss today, but the team hardly looked "like garbage." Hunnicutt has even an average day, instead of the worst of his career, and we win that game.

Me, I've been excited about the basketball season for months. It's not either/or for good OU fans, and trashing the football team doesn't build the basketball team up.

What do you consider hideous? A winning record because he has that against ranked teams, and that's throwing out the games against teams that were ranked at the time of the game but finished the season unranked. But I guess counting is hard for you.

That would be really hard since KSU would need to lose 3 games

That could happen. They play almost everyone on the road and still have to play WVU, OSU, TCU, Baylor and Texas. They should have lost in Norman. It took a bunch of mistakes for them to win. I don't think they will be that fortunate against everyone. However, OU has not played well so they might lose another game this year. Baylor and OSU will be tough games and road trips to ISU and Tech will not be easy.

Bob's record against the top 25 is very similar to Switzer's and Wilkinson's. Stoops is 50-25 or 66%. Switzer was 43-21-4 (we don't have ties anymore so lets just eliminate them) or 67.18%. Wilkinson was 28-18-1 or 60.8%. Fairbanks was 15-10 or 60%. You simply don't know what you are talking about when you say things like this.

I would also point out that Stoops has the Oregon loss which wasn't a loss in his record. If you record that game correctly, Stoops is 51-24 or 68%. Nobody has ever done better than Bob Stoops at OU against top 25 teams.

You are dreaming?? The winner of TCU and KSTATE probably wins the Big 12.

Prior to Saturday people were saying the winner of Baylor and OU probably wins the Big 12. It is still early. WVU, OSU, Baylor and TCU all only have one loss. Texas and OU only have 2 losses. Anyone that runs the table has a very good chance to win this conference. Certainly KSU is in a good position with no losses but they still have to play Texas, OSU, @TCU, @WVU and @Baylor. Winning four of those games will not be an easy task. I actually think any team that wins the rest of their Big 12 games is a pretty good football team. This conference is very balanced this year or at least appears that way right now.

Well said. Although I'm very disappointed to once again be out of NC contention in October, you can't argue with Stoops tenure. Have there been a lot of disappointments recently?....sure, but it's that way everywhere outside of Alabama over the last 5-8 years. I would like to contend into November once in a while though :(

And most importantly, I'm always excited for basketball.

Totally agree! And also the overall competition is greater today than it was in Wilkinson's and Switzer's time at OU due to no one's fault. It was pretty much whorns and Nebraska during Switzer's years and mostly whorns during Bud's tenure. I don't think any team has had a better trio of coaches than these three!

not true they only need to lose 2 big 12 games

They have to lose 3 for us to win the conference. If both of us have 2 losses their win against us is the tie breaker. TCU would have to lose 2 more too.

Not if Baylor, OU, TCU and K state all end up with 2 losses. Then there is some crazy tiebreaker to determine the "one true champion"

Best case scenario for OU is to have more than two teams with just 2 losses.

baylor ou tcu kstate and wvu may very well all end up with 2 conf losses and all 5 would be the conf champion and get the trophy from the league

Willing to bet a lot of money that doesn't happen. Baylor or TCU will win the conference this year. Just my opinion.
