Didn't see or hear the TU game but I can just imagine what happened. Spitting the bit seems an expressive and accurate description of events. As for OU playing Boise again...god forbid. We'd have everything to lose and nothing to gain...much like the last time we played them.

To OU faithful: pray that Venables goes to Auburn...

It had a flat.

Oh Picker, PLEASE please please explain to me your logic that somehow USC is getting 'cheated'. I haven't had a good laugh all day, and would like to enjoy one at your expense.

USC is no more cheated than Florida. Florida has done the same as USC except against better opponents. Both teams lost to sub-par teams. Florida did it at home. USC did it on the road. Florida has beaten the crap out of two legitimate top-25 teams since then. I don't know if any of them are getting screwed, but OU is definitely put in the mix with those teams inappropriately. I think there is no way Tech gets out of these next two games without a loss. It's entirely possible that they could lose twice. I also doubt Alabama is going to get past LSU at LSU this weekend. I don't think LSU is phenomenal, but 'Bama hasn't played very well since the Georgia win, at least not well enough to beat LSU on the road. That puts Texas back into the title game against Penn State (assuming nobody else jumps in the mix with great performances). That's still a joke of a national title game. Unless, Tech goes undefeated it should be Florida against Texas for the national title.

Tulsa didnt really mind that they got beat by arkansas at least they got a nice 850,ooo dollar payout now maybe can add more seats to chatman stadium that they wont be able to sell.

Here is what one TU homer posted on an earlier blog. His name was RR.

"TU would absolutely roll Oklahoma State's defense...sure OSU would score a lot as well, but David Johnson would wear out the OSU to the tune of about 400 yards passing in addition to about 300 yards TU would rush for. You people just don't get it...THAT OFFENSE IS LEGIT STUFF and is the best offense in America on any level of college football, BCS, SBC, AT&T, SEC, FBS whatever you want, it's simply the best offense on the college level in 2008...deal with it and get crushed if you have the cohones to play them."

Where is he now?

The picker has it right. The loss to Arkansas should fall on the coaches. Tulsa is clearly the better team(although not by as much as some of our fans thought), and when you lose to a team that you're better than because you didn't come out ready to play it's the coaches fault. Not to mention some of the dumb play calls.

I also think the soft schedule hurt them against Arkansas. For the first quarter of the game Tulsa seemed shocked to be playing someone as athletic as they are.

SEC 35
Big Ten 10
Talk about boring.

Gene:
You're kidding, right?
Leave bad enough alone?
What if college basketball or the NBA or the NFL or EVERYTHING ELSE had no playoff?
The current system is not even a sytem.
It is guesswork.
It is not even real enough to be considered mythical.
Beyond age-old rivalries, and some freaky bowl match-ups, which could survive a small playoff system, and beyond investment opportunities, college football is a joke.

Gene...that's specious. It's much easier for the number three undefeated team to whine if they're excluded from the single game deciding a champ. If we had a sixteen or even an eight team roundabout, the number nine or number seventeen team wouldn't have quite the same credibility with their argument.

Picker, what in the world has Colin Cowherd been brainswashing you with? USC is a joke! If Vegas did have them favored against anybody in a national championship game it would be because they are media darlings. The PAC 10 is awful!

Put USC against any of the top 3 in either the Big 12 or SEC and they would get beat. Here is why: Sanchez is over-hyped and overrated. He threw 3 picks in the game against a bad Arizona State team. If he throws 3 picks to OU, Texas, OSU, or T-tech, the game is over.

Vegas...my gosh, what an uninspiring argument.

Understand this about USC, they dominate in big games. They've had little problem beating the big boys in other conferences. It's their insistence on overlooking the underdogs that gets them year after year. See: UCLA, Stanford, Oregon State over the last three seasons. Against the top ten they might not win, but they would play very well.
