Dude.. Kansas State lost yesterday. Their season has ended and they cannot go to a bowl.

I stand corrected. Please forgive my ignorance of Kansas State's non-conference schedule.
Lo and behold! My stunning upset-filled predictions. I might go below the Mendoza line for the first time since last year but I feel crazy today!...

I sorely miss the single page view :-( 1. LSU and USC in 2003. LSU won the BCS and USC won the AP. 2. That would...
I have no words for that awful performance against Nebraska. I was walking from a watch party back to where I live and I heard some guys outside call a floating pass, a "Landry Jones". I think that sums it up. He's young, and it shows, especially on the road.
Honestly I think we'll grind out a win against A&M and OSU, and lose in Lubbock. Hello Alamo Bowl.

Oh okay. I thought Sheffield went in because Potts had a concussion, which keeps him at #2 on the depth chart. That sucks man. Hopefully he heals for next season.
Yeah, A&M has looked pretty good. I still can't figure out the blowout loss to Arkansas. I didn't get to watch the game, so I don't know if early turnovers blew the game open for the Razorbacks. But otherwise A&M is putting it together in Sherman's second year. No gimmies in the Big 12 South. That's for sure. The North is another story. They need to be more balanced so that people will respect our championship game.
Good luck in Stillwater this weekend!

Bill Snyder can coach circles around Stoops. He made our once-dominant defense look vulnerable in run and pass defense. And K-State is not the same team that barely beat UMass at home.
That game was like a replay of last year's in Manhattan, but it was 20 points lower for both teams. Still not happy with how we play conservative after getting out to a big lead (21-0) because that approach always lets the other team come back. Then, you try to put it in gear and you're flat. I've always hated the "trying not to lose" strategy. Keep running your offense, whether it's 1st or 2nd string.
Nebraska and OU are teams that rely on defense and just enough offense to win games. I think it may come down to field goal kicking. Henery v. Stevens. It'll be interesting to see how Landry handles the atmosphere of Lincoln. They aren't fond of the Sooners up there.
What happened to your star 2nd string QB? I didn't see him playing against KU. First it was Doege. His name doesn't roll off the tongue, and his decision making was horrible. Then Potts came back in.

Well by wary, I mean it might be close for a while, causing me and at least 100,000 others to be biting our nails.

Case in point, OU is about to host for Homecoming the top team in the North by record: K State. Do what? The same team that lost to ULL and barely meet UMass? Yeah, that one. I'm wary of this Halloween night game with Bill Snyder on the other sideline, but we can't afford to lose to a team out of the blue like that.

I can't figure out the Big 12 North this year. K State wakes up, Nebraska loses to ISU at home, and Colorado finally benches the coach's son at QB, and they look competitive.
Yeah that was a great guess at the score. That KU touchdown was a garbage TD anyway. We were starting to put some backups in.

Yeah we had a tougher non-conference schedule in a rebuilding year for the offense. We could have done like most of the SEC and UT, and played no one and gotten 4 easy wins, but Stoops likes to have a few tough non-conference games. Some of them don't pan out, like catching Washington and Alabama on a down year, but then some line up. That trip to Cincy is looking pretty scary next year, and it turned out that waiting two years between a home and home with Miami made a huge difference for the look of both teams. We need to win tomorrow, and it would be a bonus if our offense started to find 2nd and 3rd gear.
Thanks for your Sooner support. Tech's fight song is one of the most challenging I had to learn while in the Pride of Oklahoma in 2002, and I still say you guys need a defensive coordinator and you'll be the best team in the country. There are only a select few coaches that know how to stop the Air Raid attack of Mike Leach.
The last few games in Stillwater have been shootouts, as I recall. I'm guessing by Karen's comment that you are playing A&M at home this week. Good luck, though you shouldn't need it. I mean, K State killed this team, and you murdered the Wildcats, so you should win easily. But that's why they play the game.

DeleteWow, RR, I expected more of a fight from you. I mean, this game is on the road, and we've lost in Lubbock for the last two years we've been there. And this year, our offense has shown that it stays home. So even though we blew out the team that Tech lost to by 30, I don't think it'll be a blowout.
And if I had to pick a game to lose, I'd rather lose to Tech than O State. We need to keep that home winning streak alive. And this season, OU has played better after a loss. After BYU, it was Idaho State. After Miami, it was Baylor. After Texas, it was Kansas. After Nebraska, it was A&M. Granted, most of those games were at home, and the one that was away has not established itself as an intimidating place for a visiting team.
I'm glad we are bowl eligible because I know the Cowboys would have loved to keep us from a bowl. They hate OU that much.
