I 100 percent agree with you on this particular post, Mr. Picker. Nobody cares about what happened 8-10 years ago. It's all about what you've done recently.

This must be nothing more than provocation. The reasoning is flimsy. Denigrating the conference championships won by OU, while simultaneously ignoring all the conference championships NOT WON by Texas while operating in the same universe.

Operating with deeper pockets, giant television market, better talent and a big ole cow.

Past may be prologue for OU. The Texas football program continues to equal (or surpass) the Duke basketball program for doing the least with the best talent.

I agree. I'm not calling for Stoops' head, but its about time we get back to being top dog. 2nd place is a cold spot.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you people wising up in a good way.

Yes, agreed that it is time to win. One has to be realistic, Texas seems to take whomever they want in recruiting each year and OU is getting the leftovers. Josh Turner chose Texas for example and he grew up in Oklahoma. I do believe our coaches are as good as any other coaches (you know winning all those B12 championships). Now if we can just get them to recruit a little more, win a few close ones, it will help. We started this year on a good note by beating a good Stanford Team. TX QB is very inexperienced. Time for OU to win. Boomer!

Tuslan in Exile, experience in high school has nothing to do with experience in college. Gilbert looks like he can eventually be a stud but don't count on it happening over night.

Pick, while I agree OU needs to start beating Texas again, I don't understand how that will help either of your points. Conferences will still take UT over OU because of the billion TV sets that Texas has. If winning football games had to do with conference's selection of a team, the PAC 10 would have invited Boise St. and left Colorado in the Big 12.

Also, maybe I'm misunderstanding, but how does winning make our state's recruiting grounds any more fertile? Does every high school athlete in Oklahoma all of sudden get a bit stronger, faster, smarter every time OU beats Texas?
