It was a classic trap game. Tech had not been a problem at home and they should have easily stopped them. The defense was the worst they played all season.

boooooo, hoooooo, excuses, excuses, excuses. But, what's new??? Every year we hear how great the sooners are and they are national contenders, and then the balloon gets burst. Then the excuses start. Come on it gets a little old.

Good grief, you can't be serious posting this drivel?

Blame the kicker, blame the schedule, etc.; you forgot to blame the dog for eating the playbook.

BTW, if you don't know the Picker's identity, it's too late for you to "get a life".

Well, all I can say is that I watched the game and OU only played one half of decent football. You have to play both halves, not one. State will win the In State rivalry at home. Landry is average compared to Weeden.

Well said pick. Overrated OU is 1st victim of this year's Big-12 fratricide party which is now on course the leave the entire league in a tangled mess...much to the delight of Boise. Okie State is good but shaky at times. Crystal ball stays with the SEC this year.

Missed tackling by linebackers
is not getting torched!
Those quick 5 yrd passes
turns to 20 yrd gains

OU Offense “Ouch”
No run game, makes inside the 5 yrd line
a Timothy Leary Experience
Landry’s soap float pass
bubbles all over the place

Guess OU fans expect other teams
to lay down because they are OU?
OU self-destruct? Anyone Responsible?
Will OU fans ever admit that
the other team was/is better than them?

QB Luck has Stanford, Hollywood,
& ABC/ESPN giving him the Heisman
But no one throws a better pass than Weedon
K-St @ OSU Nov 5th for the Big 12 Championship?

Pt spread for OU @ OSU right now
fav’s the Pokes by 7?

OU problem isn't with scoring...they manage to score enough even when it's ugly. Problem is with the D...always has been...can't win if you get outscored

What idiot let Mike Stoops roam the sidelines? I wouldn't have allowed him within earshot or eyesight of any of my players. He should have been parked up in the box with the coaches wives and told to keep quiet.

So, Mr. Picker, why did you pick OU to win by 30 if it has such a bad, poorly coached team?

It looks like Landry Jones is the third best QB in the state. Bill Blankenship could be right. G.J. Kinne could be the best QB in the state. However, it's hard to tell due to the talent discrepancies between OSU and TU. As far as the OU defensive coaching, how many meltdowns will it take for Bob Stoops to fire Brent Venables? That's the problem I have with Stoops. He's too loyal too his assistants and too afraid to fire anyone. Some new coaching blood couldn't hurt, could it?

It is interesting to note a respected columnist in Texas has called for Bob Stoops job after they lost to Tech. My Question is this why would you fire a guy that has gone 72-3 at home? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I don't think Stoops or his staff should be fired, but I am beginning to think that they will probably not win another national championship. Lately, Stoops has been at his best when his team was the underdog (2007 in Big 12 championship against #1 Missouri, 2008 against Texas Tech). However, OU will never again be the underdog for an entire season like they were in 2000. The national championship they won back then put a big target on their back that has stuck with them ever since.

Pick is right...championship teams have good depth and it is obvious OU does not at key positions (LB, DB). It is also obvious that LSU does have quality depth all over the field. They lost the BEST defensive player in the country, a top starting RB, and a good defensive lineman and they still absolutely HAMMERED Auburn as well as not giving up any points to an offense everyone knows is potent.

My prediction for the rest of the year: OU wins out and goes to the Fiesta Bowl against Cincinnati who will be auditioning for a new conference. LSU vs. Boise St in Nat'l Championship as I expect both Clemson and Stanford will lose a game (Stanford to Oregon; Clemson to So. Carolina or in ACC title game). Thanks to Sparty for exposing Wisky's pass defense or lack thereof. Ok State will once again choke against OU and the defense can't stop the run and when it tries to seel out to do so, Jones will throw it over the top...OU just has to hope to remember the stick 'em for that game as it is apparent that OU's WRs might have trouble catching a cold, let alone passes that hit them between the numbers.
