Well, I was 99% certain Texas would fold again.

Tremendous running game by Oklahoma and Quentin Griffin.

Texas will never win the big one as long as Mack Brown is their coach. He never accepts responsibility when they lose. Just look at what he was whining about today after the game...

"As for Brown, he threw blame to the wind -- literally. He pointed to the afternoon breeze, which was announced at 10 mph, as an excuse for Texas' inability to move the ball.

He also blamed the bounce of the ball, as OU pinned the 'Horns on the 1-yard line in the third quarter on a behind-the-back, off-the pylon save by Will Peoples after an OU punt."

Maybe I'm wrong but I think OU had to play in that same wind. Ohhh 10mph.....yep that's tough to overcome.

OU's offense still isnt that good, though they do take good care of the ball. If Roy Williams had stayed for his SE year, Id say it would be a toss up. Without RW on defense, UT wins by 10.


Hmmm, guess you were wrong!

On the 7th day God created Texas. On the 8th day OU kicked their ass!

Amen brother, preach on!:D

Joke on the local radio:

How many longhorns does it take to change a flat tire?

Just one, unless it's a blowout, then they all show up.

On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off his itinerary
to visit the Texas coastline on an impromptu sightseeing trip. His 4X4
Pope-mobile was driving along the beautiful shoreline when there was
an enormous commotion heard just off the beach. They rushed to see
what it was and upon approaching the scene, the Pope noticed in the water a
hapless man wearing an University of Texas football jersey, struggling
frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark.

At that moment a speedboat containing three men wearing Oklahoma
Sooner's football jerseys roared into view from around the point. Immediately,
one of the men took aim and fired a harpoon into the shark's ribs,
immobilizing it instantly. The other two reached out and pulled the
Texas man from the water and then, using long clubs, beat the shark to
death.

They bundled the bleeding, semi-conscious man into the boat along with
the dead shark and then prepared for a hasty retreat when they heard
frantic shouting from the shore. It was the Pope summoning them to
the beach.

After they reached shore, the Pope praised them for the rescue and
said, "I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I had heard that there
were some bitter hatred between the people of Texas and Oklahoma, but
now I have seen with my own eyes this is not true. I can see that your
society is a truly enlightened example of true harmony and could serve
as a model on which other states could follow." He blessed them all and
drove off in a cloud of dust.

As he departed, the harpooner asked the others, "Who was that?"
"That," one answered, "was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct
contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom."

"Well," the harpooner replied, "he don't know nothin' about shark
fishing.

Has Simms ever not choked under pressure?

I laughed out loud when they considered him for a heisman candidate at the beginning of the season.

there never really was that much pressure... i blame play calling... "hey, lets run on first down. hmmm... stacked at the line... lets run it again! hmm... stacked at the line... uh oh, 3rd and 10, i guess we should pass for 5 yards!" its been that way all season.

of course, when the ball hits the pylon its supposed to be a touchback. sheesh!

I agree with you, but I'm slightly leaning towards Texas just because I was born there. But my dad lives in Oklahoma City. Hmmmm.

GO OSU! :D

Actually in college the rules are different. The ball is downed where the player touches it. Doesn't matter if it then goes into the end zone or not.
