You know what Pick?? I happened to see that same thing last night when I got home from the TU game.

Really all you can do is laugh...sure, you can laugh at the sheer lack of knowledge, but the really funny thing is that those guys take themselves and their grading so seriously as if the entire state is on pins and needles waiting to see if the state teams "passed" the homer test!!

I also got a kick out of Blevins telling Holcombe that "your team" should score 60 this weekend. Your team was of course making reference to OSU because Holcombe is an employee of the school.

You've gotta love unbiased journalism, it's great isn't it!! If those guys knew just an eighth as much football as they think they know then they would be very knowledgeable observers! With apologies to Mike Gundy, that show makes me wanna puke! It's a shame when ESPN does a better job of covering TU football than a local station does. Look, I already expect better OU coverage from ESPN...the Sooners have been a national power forever and quite honestly, you get much better and more importantly more factual, quality info from ESPN than any of the locals regarding OU. However, I always thought I would need the locals for a look at TU, but as long as Tulsa stays in the polls, you will get more from ESPN. Channel 6 has made a joke out of local sports coverage...they could easily change the name of the sports portion of their newscast to the OSU sports minute or something to that effect. It is truly amazing how unbalanced their coverage is, but I guess that's what happens when an OSU employee is your sports guy.

Know why OSU grads put their diplomas on their car dashboards?

So they can park in the handicapped spaces.

Chris..."lamed joke"? Someone pull your chain there, bubba? Get you a little steamed...rattled...makin' it harder to hit those keys on your radio shack computer?

God save us from Aggies...

OSU by three touchdowns over OU. OSU will have at LEAST one run back for a T.D. against OU!

Should be fun for our family to go to Fayettevile this Saturday - TU will get another "W" on their way to 14-0!

I see where someone is making an early pick of OSU by "three touchdowns" over OU in this year's Bedlam game. That got me to wondering, "How many times has OSU beaten OU by 18 or more points?'

The answer: three times - 1997, 1945, and 1944.

Although it's way too soon to do this, and since some of you are, I'll throw this out there...if the game is in Norman, the result is much like last year's score, which was similar to 2005 and 2003. Since it's in Stillwater, I'll say the score will be much like it's been the last three times the game was there: 27-21 OU, 35-38 OU, and 38-28 OSU. While 2002 was not close for much of the game, the score spread ended up only 10 points. I would expect a score of around that figure, either way.

Even though OSU is good this year, they may finally enter this game with something on the line other than ruining OU's season. I would expect OSU to be a tight team in the early going, which will curb some of the home field advantage early on, resulting in a close finish.

I absolutely disagree with any assertions this will be a blowout on behalf of either team. It may be high-scoring; it may be low-scoring. It will be close. Definitely not "three touchdowns."

Mr. User Name TBD; how many guys who played at OSU and OU during the 1997, 1954 and 1944 still on their respective squads? Perhaps ancient history is not a good indicator of things to come?

Gene,

None. But that is in and of itself the point. Nothing in the history of the series (recent or ancient) should lead anyone to believe the Pokies can beat the Sooners by "three touchdowns." All I said was, "That got me to wondering, 'How many times has OSU beaten OU by 18 or more points?'" Reading further - you can read, I assume, so keep doing so - I said I'd expect the score to be around what it has been lately when the game is in Stillwater. None of what I said had any implication that I thought the game would be close just because it always seems to have been. I only started listing scores because I wanted to explain what I meant by saying it should be what it has been the last few times. Sheesh.

Thee-een, I explained - yet again, further in the post - why I feel that way. I'll not explain myself again; I will only clarify. *I think the game will be close because OSU will have something on the line other than ruining OU's season. I think they will come out to start the game tight, which will keep it close early and late.*

How much of that reads like I was using the games from 1997, 1945, and 1944 to base my opinion? Notice my use of the phrase "I think." I never claim to know, unlike the Picker.

Picker, my going to the "record books" was just to satisfy my curiosity. Nothing more, nothing less. Nice try.

When OSU enters the OU game with 2 losses you wont be see free with your tongues Aggies.

Get past Tech at Lubbock which OSU has NOT done !!!!!, then you can worry about Bedlam.

JJ,
Lay off the crack man! Why get so mad at OSU fans supporting their team. I take it you are an OU fan. I have listened to OU fans talk about how their team is going to do this or that, kinds remember the last few years around bowl time. Or is that when OU faces the rest of the South they are going to have problems, seems that the defense isn't doing so well since they lost a linebacker. Yeah they have won a couple of games against the mighty North, but that is not saying much. I know that there are games to be played until Bedlam, but it is still fun to talk about it. Again, lay off the crack man!

So let me get this straight...OU fan can spout off year after year after year about how great their season is going to be and can "look forward" or past any game on their schedule but OSU fan MUST only look to the next challenge and isn't allowed to make a prediction on Bedlam because it's not the next game? PLEASE! Sounds like a double standard to me. Is OU fan getting nervous about the "pokies" already? OU fan is already having nightmares and it's not Halloween yet! Instead of Woods still being open it'll be Dez, Pettigrew, and don't forget about Bowling...or in case Stoopie remembers we can throw the ball we'll run it all over Sooner Nation! I stand by my three touchdown "smack talk"!

And what I mean by the past eight seasons is that from the early 90's and leading up to the 2000 season, I was just happy they won. Period. In 2000, I got caught up in Nat'l Champ talk and got lucky. They won. After that, it seemed like every time I thought they had the stuff to win it all, they somehow found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. So I have learned to temper my enthusiasm about games well into the future. That way it's not so deflating when they do lose the occasional game.

Tamale,

God save us from the OU bandwagon fans.

Did you graduate from OU? Or just a fan after 2000?
