Sooners licking wounds, KU game first step to regroup

by

That one hurt. And the most frustrating part about it was it didn’t look like the Sooners wanted it enough.

Last week I said they needed to come into this game with more fight and more intensity than they have had all year. They were no where close to that. And I blame the coaches.

Everything we heard from everybody all week was how OU would blow out texas for a third straight year. It wouldn’t be close. texas stinks and the Sooners would wipe the floor with them.

I guess the coaches let the players believe that and believed it themselves. They thought they could show up with the word Sooners on their chest and it would be easy. They thought they were entitled to the win. They thought they could run the offense they wanted to run regardless and they would win.

How else do you explain the complete lack of QB running game? Against a texas squad that has been gashed by the QB run game all year?

OU-Texas: My apology to Sooners everywhere

by

I apologize to all my fellow Sooners.

Last weekend I didn’t follow my OU-Texas traditions.

I didn’t eat Bevo burgers in Marietta. mikesblog

I didn’t play putt-putt on Friday afternoon like I had done every Friday afternoon before the Red River Rivalry in the last decade.

I didn’t have lunch and play paper football at the Humperdinks sports bar.

Heck, I didn’t even travel the same road to Dallas. I got cute and did an end run around that Denton traffic jam by taking I-35 West for a ways before sneaking back into Dallas from the west. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Never again.

I don’t know exactly how my poor choices generated enough bad karma to cause the Sooners to lose 36-20 to those steers from Austin, but I have no doubt in my mind they had something to do with it.

Dave: Look out – ‘horns are wounded animals

OU vs. TCU — That was too close for comfort. But in the end the Sooners gutted out a tough win against a very good defensive team in TCU.

In fact, outside of a bowl game, TCU has the best defense that OU will see the rest of the year. But the victory came at a steep price. Corey Nelson is arguably the best defensive player we have. TCU couldn’t sniff a first down much less a touchdown for over half the game. But when Nelson got hurt the OU defense became disjointed and TCU took advantage to the tune of 17 points.

It took two Blake Bell bulldozing first downs to finally run out the clock on the Horned Frogs.

Red River Rivalry — But a win is a win and now it’s texas week. texas….man I hate those bastards. It has given me such joy the past few years to see the struggles that have come out of the 40 acres. Which of course have been punctuated by the beat downs the Sooners have administered in the Cotton Bowl.
