JMRT,
Don't let SteffM get to you. The more OU loses, the more jealousy that comes out of her. Typical Overrated University fan....

By the way Steff, since you like to dissect words so much....jealousy, which describes you, contains the word "lousy" which contains "OU". Coincidence? Shouldn't you be posting on OU threads about how Stoops needs to be fired? That never gets old.

Steff M, or Staff Mfection, why don't you fulfill your lifetime dream and have sex with OU's football team and spread your ill will. You have serious problems. Get a life.

Wow. OU generates more interest than OSWho, even for Joke fans, even when we're losing. Looks like you need to form a posse and go round up all the stray aggies that are stinking up the OU boards.

Here they come to save the day! And with more "our fans all graduated from OSWho" smack. Some things never change. Some things are always. Hey, that reminds me. I need to go to Wal-Mart.

You should be able to spell loser, JMRT, considering your team of choice. And you're saying you're an OSWho fan to show off your "individuality"? Good one. I hadn't heard that one before. This is fun. Who's next?

Thanks JMRT. By the way, was "wining" supposed to sound like "winning"? And yes, I'll probably always use the "OSWho" thing. Kind of like Joke fans always using the "bandwagon" thing. (Most of 'em know that it's just one word though.)

That is pretty good, ugly. "Staff Mfection". A bit of a stretch, but pretty witty nonetheless. Did you mean "lifelong" dream? That's actually not one of them, and since I'm male, that might spread something else entirely. I will, however, consider the getting a life thing, but don't look for it to happen anytime soon. And Carlos, you put a lot of thought into that didn't you? You nailed it too. I have always been jealous of OSWho fans. Who wouldn't be? For one thing you get to wear orange, which is obviously very attractive and fashionable. Definitely a regal color, to say the least. Couple that with the fact that the expectations are usually low, so you're not really under any pressure to succeed, thus turning disappointment into an acceptable emotion. AND you've got that nice new stadium with more seats, so you don't have to put up with a SRO crowd during big games like you have to in Norman. The only problem is I'm not a graduate so my application for fanship would surely get denied and even if I qualified I don't think I could afford season tickets, so I couldn't even come to a game. It's just not in the cards for me so there's no point in holding out hope. I just have to accept the cold, hard reality that I'll probably always be an OU fan and try to somehow carry on. Wish me luck.

Every team needs bandwagon fans. If they show up and help fill the seats in BPS, I'm fine with that.

Let's not go crazy and say there aren't any OSU bandwagon fans out there. I've seen a lot more orange in Tulsa lately than I have ever seen before. Don't get me wrong, I love it. But let's try to keep it in perspective.

Congrats to OSU!!!!!
Even with the problems, they have pulled together and having a great year so far. Let's hold it together for three more games!!

I read a post on the the other teams article that said OSU fans are pathetic. Really??
I takes someone with a lot of passion and love for a team to stand behind them after years of poor performance. We are proud of our team and wish them the best of luck.

It is easy to jump on a band wagon when a team is doing good...That is why I have little respect for the so called sooner fans. They are only fans when they are winning. I bet the wagon has become lighter the last couple weeks.
Many OSU fans went to college there or have ties to OSU....OU fans....well they are lucky to graduate high school, but they look cool with all the OU gear on while shopping at Wal-Mart. Geeez, talk about pathetic

smack?? Well I hardly consider the truth "smack", but I would not expect anything else from the OU Loosers.

Funny how just a few years ago all the OU fans were screaming that stoops was the best coach in the world....Now they are trying to send him out to pasture for a bad season....
Instead of just admitting that OU is not have a good season and has been a bit overated, all I hear is excuses excuses....but that is what the wagon jumpers do best.

Oh while you are at Wal-Mart, see if you can pick up a package of "individuality"

Who's Next?? I haven't really heard anything good come from you yet??? Still waiting......

Really still using the "OSWho" thing? Come on, is that the best you can come up with?

Individuality to me is not jumping on the band wagon because a team wins a championship or bowl games. Although I know there are some die hard, life long OU fans out there, I have met so many that only became fans when they started wining again...To me, those people are pathetic
As an OSU fan, we are use to hearing smack from OU fans, but we stand behind our team for better or worse.

Oh and Loser was meant to sound like "LOOOOOSER", but I guess I should have put more "O's" in it. Good response though :)
