They could have hung a hundred on em and I don't think it would have mattered. The 2 best teams in the country are playing for the national title.....as it should be and IMHO. LSU would have totally embarrased OSU. It would have been another USC vs. OU game. I still say OSU didn't play anybody and let me say this also, this isn't sour grapes. OU deserved to get beat! OSU showed up ready to play and they played a great game along with OU not even showing up.
OSU lost to Iowa St. and OU beat ISU pretty good. OU spanked K-State and OSU struggled with them. It's hard to compare who did what to who and who beat who and who lost to who, so many different situations. I'm going to predict that Stanford beats OSU by 2 touchdowns at least and I'm not sure about OU vs. Iowa but it wouldn't surprise me if Iowa won.
OU and it's coaches should be totally ashamed of what they have put on the field this year, and again....I'm an OU homer. I don't know what's wrong, and I have been saying it for the past few years since the National title, but something is wrong. They don't play with passion, they are lackadaisicle about how they play, and they think they can roll out their helmets on to the field before the game and that's all they have to do to win. To go from #1 in the country to 9-3 and the Insight Bowl is a disgrace. I know some teams would love to be in OU shoes but the local folks are use to better things.
You ought to hear the local radio guy's, and a couple of them are OU alumni. Something HAS to be done in the offseason or Stoops won't even get into his new house before he's run out of town.
Every year they show up for a game/games and aren't ready to play, see WVU, Boise St., USC, Missouri, A&M, T-Tech, OSU, Baylor, Florida, K-State among others. If your going to be a National title contender that ain't gonna cut it. I think it hurts recruiting also, thus hurting your chances of staying up there with the BIG BOYS. Maybe Stoops should go talk to Les Miles or Nick Saban and see what their formula is year after year.
What a joke this season was. I know it's "just" a game and I try not to get to wrapped around the axles about it, but if we played well and lost it would be a lot easier to take, but when you don't even show up, it sucks.
