Maybe Wagoner's defense would have been a tougher test for OSU. They don't seem to have any problems with busted assignments or lack of effort.

Guess that's what happens when you make bold preseason predictions. When it doesn't work out, the rest of the season goes down the drain.

So what is OSU's song, "For Once In My Life"?

Thanks for proving my point from the other day....homer. Hold on tight so you don't get thrown off the bandwagon.

I don't know who the "we" are who have been saying something new is needed in Norman, but if something is so very wrong down there, and has been for years, why did it take OSU 9 years to finally get another win against OU? I guess things have been so bad there in Norman that OU has won 5 out of the last 8 Big 12 Championships and 8 of the last 9 Bedlam games.

Rather sad that you've become the same homer that you've so often chided other media mouthpieces for being. I hope Santa brings you a mirror for Christmas.

Injuries should be only a VERY SMALL factor. When you continously have have top 10 recruiting classes, there should not be that big of a drop off between your #1 and #2 players.If anything blame Stoops philosophy of keeping starters in the entire game....

Apologies for the double post.

It might be time for a coaching change at OU, and not just the assistants. I personally think too many of the beat writers are afraid to go after Stoops because, heaven forbid, he will cut them off from information and interviews with him and his players. Let's face it, most of the practices are already closed, so they don't want to say anything too critical, or they will be shut out completely. As an OU fan, getting beat doesn't bother me as much as having a team that did not show up to play in too many games this year--Missour, KU, and Tech. I saw this blow out coming and if any good comes out of it, then maybe there will be some changes in Norman.

Hey Pick, as the game was ending last night, my son said the same thing, "it's time for Stoops and his good buddy Boren to get together and add about 3 more years and $3 million to Stoops' contract." I hear Bob is ready to build an addition to his hotel...er...home.

Thank goodness Ohio St hired Meyer. Still, Stoops/Boren can use the openings at Texas A&M and Penn St for extortion...er...leverage.

By the way, regarding the BCS championship game, none of the stats matter (OSU has 2 top ten wins, Bama, OSU actually won their conference, Bama couldn't win their division with a HOME game against LSU). Smug, condescending Herbstreit says Bama passes his "eyeball test" and they are better than OSU. I propose that next season, there are no rankings and no keeping score so, when the season ends, Herbstreit can tell us goobers what two teams pass his eyeball test.

Rather than a change in coaching staff, change in philosophy might be the first step - look at next year's verbal commits. As usual, 4 - 6 defensive ends, a few receivers, and ONE - yes, ONE !, defensive back. O-linemen and db's make great teams. Brent V seems to think that Roy's still out there but he's just not executing. Coach the players you have, not the players you wish you had.

On another note, I must say that the OU players presented themselves as anything but proud defending champions before the game. They appeared geaked,jacked, and intimidated, as if offering to throw down and trying to bad-boy oSu was their only chance of competing.

Watching the members of such a once-proud program, whose defensive leader proclaimed "National championship or Bust" in the pre-season, only to go dark with the media following the Taco fiasco, trash talk the oSu cheerleaders before the game, was sadly pittiful.

When it comes to OU, it seems they have a bias vs instate players, as if they have to be twice as good as out of state players to get offered. The alltime blunder, and evidence of this: DID NOT EVEN OFFER JUSTIN BLACKMON!!!!
