Pick, I like the way you think!

Holgorsen and Young trump Venables and Wilson. OSU's team complements each phase and seem to be really meshing now. OU has already peaked (Iowa State) while OSU still has two more weeks to continue to improve.

Go Pokes!

Wow, I realize the Pick and all the other aggies in NE Oklahoma have been waiting for a while for OSU to be the favorite, the better team, etc... but you dont really believe it's gonna be as easy as the old Pick would lead you to believe?? Stoops and the boys usually react pretty good when in the underdog role. The fact it seldom happens says alot about the OU program...I wouldnt bet against OU in 2 weeks... but I might take the Baylor Bears this week. OU tends to overlook people sometimes...

What the heck is "Sooner Magic"?

Something....

Oh yeah, now I remember.

Also, I can't believe someone above said that this is the best team that OSU has ever had. You must be about 18 years old. It's not even freaking close.

This could be OSU's year. After all, they get one ever 7 or 8 years or so. Although, I have seen them dissapoint their fans more times than they have beaten OU. Somehow they just seem to have a knack for choaking and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Beating OU and Tex in the same year!!! It must be icing up in hell.

I like that OSU's having a great season and all, but who have they beaten? That argument gets thrown against Boise and TCU all the time. But the same could go for OSU. Let's see: a terrible Washington St team; a team from the Belt; overrated Tulsa; inconsistent A&M team; Louisiana school of the blind; a terrible Tech team; inconsistent/overrated Kansas State; completely overrated Baylor team (how in the world did they get into the top 25?); and a terrible Texas team. The lone legit Top 25 team they lost to and made Martinez look like Peyton Manning...

TJNEELY, yeah because OU never ever chokes in big games, right? Absurd.

Mgsooner, OSU's defensive numbers are skewed because of the type of offense. Take a look at what OSU did to Texas for proof. The score was 33-3 until the 4th quarter when OSU started putting in backups. As Pick said, this young defense gets better each week.

It doesn't surprise me to see sooner fans already taking cover behind the old "they're due to win one every 7 or 8 years" card. I'm sure this will be followed by a series of past accomplishments and how great OU used to be.

Go with OU. This is right in Stoops' wheelhouse. A game that seems like it's important but really isn't in the grand scheme of things. Win, play in the Cotton Bowl. Lose play in the Weedeater Bowl. Same difference.

This is OSU's game to lose and they control their own destiny with regards to the Big 12 championship. OU traditionally has close games in Stillwater but still wins.

There was once a time when the guys taking the field against Oklahoma wearing Aggie Orange just KNEW they would lose, no matter how fired up or talented they might be, and no matter the venue. Oklahoma won an absurd number of times and it was clearly psychological. But today, OSU is fielding a team that is actually, remarkably, believing in themselves; yeah, these guys believe they can beat Oklahoma and they expect to do so...just like the Sooners once did in the pre-Bob, pre-Blake, pre-Schnelly, pre-Gary days...the days when the crimson and cream could go into Lincoln and snatch a ridiculously unlikely victory from the gaping jaws of defeat in sub-zero temps buffeting by arctic winds. Stoops once proved himself a remarkable defensive coordinator; since that day, he has proven himself a mediocre head coach, much the same way John Blake was a wonderful line coach but an abysmal failure in the top spot. Will Switzeresque Sooner Magic reappear in Stillwater in two weeks? Geez, I'd love to think so. But don't count on it.
