Thanks for the reminder, John. And thanks for the effort, D. Keep it up for 3 more games.

Oh...what could have been? It's too bad a few injuries ruined what could have been a great year.

richard noggin, claremore (11/18/2009 9:01:02 AM)

The "great" defense has 4 losses. The "great" sooner defense has played such powerhouse teams ---- Idaho St. Tulsa Baylor.

Very Very Impressive !!!!!

Sooners

Oh richard noggin, another sad OSU fan commenting on an OU article. Just because you can name 3 teams we have played against that are not very good doesnt make our defense any less good. Every team in the nation plays bad teams. We have also played team like Miami, BYU, Texas, and Nebraka and our defense has looked pretty good. You present a pretty weak argument.

Real, (11/18/2009 9:14:55 AM)

Richard, or should i say Dick? Is your life so sad that all you have to do is read about OU's football team and make negative comments? Get a life man.

The Masked Assassin, Parts Unknown (11/18/2009 9:24:39 AM)

That's just Richard, guys. There's one in every bunch.

richard noggin, claremore (11/18/2009 9:25:35 AM)

j 26 ---------- Another team I should add is Nebraska. They hung 10 on OU after coming off a home loss to Iowa St. Yes, Iowa St.

You say Miami, Fl. check out their record since they defeated OU.

Real --- What a name !!!!!!

Real, (11/18/2009 9:27:14 AM)

OU's offense gave Nebraska the ball on the one yard line. I wouldn't say they hung 10 on OU. The field goal was off a turnover as well.

Is OSU your team?

Real, (11/18/2009 9:27:51 AM)

OH...I am so slow. I get your name now.

BOBO1, (11/18/2009 9:28:48 AM)

j26....you fail to mention that only Texas is rated in the top 10 with the other Big Bad teams OU has played are in the Top twenty or more. OU, other than Texas, has not played the better teams in the Nation. Tech, while not a top 25 has a very good but inconsistent offense...if they are hot OU's defense will be tested. A&M was no indication of an improving OU offense...just a poorly played A&M game that got out of hand and piled on by OU. But what do I care...what are the Sooners playing for anyway this year....some Toilet bowl in podunk USA?

j26, (11/18/2009 9:33:17 AM)

Richard, did you wach the nebraska game. For one 10 points isnt alot, and 2 OU had 5 turnovers in the game and our defense only gave them 10 points. And the one touchdown that Nebraska had in that game came after Landry threw a pick on our own 25. Our offense lost that game for us, our defense played pretty well.

The Masked Assassin, Parts Unknown (11/18/2009 9:43:30 AM)

The one you're thinking of, BOBO, is called the Cotton Bowl and it's played in a little town called Dallas. T-minus 11 days and counting until the end of the OSWho smack. And believe it or not, real, Richard claims to be an OU fan. Hard to believe, huh? It's best to just ignore him and hope he goes away.

richard noggin, claremore (11/18/2009 10:01:02 AM)

j 26 You are the prototype OU fan. I am sure you did not attend OU as a student. I guess Iowa St. played a better game. They beat Nebraska.

Every game that matters you get your rear handed to you.

richard noggin, claremore (11/18/2009 10:04:08 AM)

What about the following teams.

USC
LSU
Boise St.
West Virginia
And we can add another team after OU loses a 2nd tier bowl this year.


Darn I almost forgot --- Texas has owned OU recently.

HunterOU, (11/18/2009 10:30:18 AM)

Richard you know nothing about the game son, NCAA ranked this years' OU schedule the 8th toughest! None of the top 5 are ranked with a tougher schedule. What up?

richard noggin, claremore (11/18/2009 10:30:42 AM)

BOBO1 You really hit home with j26. He cannot handle the truth.

richard noggin, claremore (11/18/2009 10:52:27 AM)

HunterOU The Press also had OU ranked as high as 3rd. The 8th touhest schedule????

That was before the season satrted and OU started losing.

Go typical OU fan --- "We had alot of injuries"

Deep In The Heart, (11/18/2009 11:33:56 AM)

I haven't seen any bowl projections with OU going to the Cotton Bowl. Most site predict Ok St or Neb at the Cotton Bowl. Opinions are split between OU at the Sun Bowl and OU at the Alamo Bowl (San Antonio)

j26, (11/18/2009 11:35:53 AM)

Richar Noggin, yes Iowa State Played a better game - offensively. That is why they one. but dont twist the argument, i said OUs defense played well. If you want to compare OUs defense to Iowa States in that game then my argument still stands. Iowa State gave up over 300 yards against Nebraska, OUs only gave up 180. Our offense lost that game for us not our defense.

And yes i graduated from OU in May of 2007.

The Masked Assassin, Parts Unknown (11/18/2009 12:14:23 PM)

See what happens when you don't ignore him?

TBone87, (11/18/2009 2:54:10 PM)

Defense does not win championships. Defense prevents losing championships. The offensive line is where championships are won.

hawkdaddy, (11/18/2009 2:57:09 PM)

Imagine how good they would have been with a little productivity on offense.

OUuglystepdaughter, golden (11/18/2009 3:29:16 PM)

Why are you morons from OU whining about OSU. OSU is ranked 12th in the country and OU isn't ranked. You bitch about how 4 injuries have ruined your season. OSU has had five injuries to 5 very key players and yet they continue to win. Sounds as though you are looking past Texas Tech and are more concerned about beating OSU. Guess what Sooners, those fat little girlfriends donw in Lubbock are going to kick your noodling asses.

richard noggin, claremore (11/18/2009 4:14:43 PM)

OU uglystepdaughter --- You are soooooo right. Can I get an AMEN from the Sooner fans.

Go Texas Tech

PhoenixIX, Jenks (11/18/2009 5:42:26 PM)

RE:"We're so close to being 10-0 right now," said center Ben Habern. "Just a couple things."

OU would indeed be 10-0 if not for the FOUR losses.

observer1, (11/18/2009 6:16:27 PM)

OK, OSU fans. Here's the deal: When you come close to coming close to having the success that OU has had, then you will have the right to talk some smack. Beating OU twice a decade and making a T-shirt about it is pretty lame. If you can ever beat Texas (for TWO halves of football, not one), then you can talk smack. Win something in football besides the "T. Boone Gave Us the Most Money in the History of Ever" award, then you can talk some smack. Also, please come up with something different to say to an OU fan. "Did you go to school there?" is a moronic question. By your logic, no one should be a fan of a college team unless they went to that school. If someone chose not to go to college or couldn't afford it, does that person not get to have a favorite college team? Does that also apply to the pros? I guess nobody born in Oklahoma should be a fan of any pro team then.

scottybegood, (11/18/2009 7:15:02 PM)

TULSA WORLD/ Should be re-named. TULSA FISH WRAP. How far is norman from Tulsa anyway? Your season is over, so hoomer fans need to move on to basketball,or deer hunting,or whatever it is you do in OK!

OUuglystepdaughter, golden (11/18/2009 7:50:48 PM)

Observer1, Nobody went to OU in the state of Oklahoma othr then a very small portion of Oklahoma's total populous. It's the simple bandwagon morons that live and die OU football because your noodling season is so short. You have a public education as your pose is not is bird cage fodder. You also have your numbers wrong. And as for T Boone, yes it was the largest amount of money ever donated to a university. Believe it or not, nobody outside of Oklahoma gives a crap about you team. They don't even know where Oklahoma is. As far as the rest of the country is concerned, Oklahoma is somewhere in Mexico. Arrogance must be corrolated with stupidity.

OUuglystepdaughter, golden (11/18/2009 8:10:30 PM)

Scottybegood, that's because there are only two "towns" in Oklahoma that are large enough for a McDonald's. Norman is a toilet but at least the fine people of Stillwater realize that college athletics aren't the end all. Good luck with that humble pie.

observer1, (11/18/2009 10:16:31 PM)

OUuglystepdaughter--"You have a public education as your pose is not is bird cage fodder." I have an education, but not one good enough to figure out what you are saying here. As for my numbers being wrong: since you agree that T. Boone's monetary gift was the largest ever to a university, you must be referring to my comment about OSU winning twice a decade. I was just trying to make you feel better. Does 80-16-7 look better? Mindless hating must be correlated with stupidity.

FL and ALA have piled up defensive stats against very tough opponents; the SEC is generally better than KU, KSU, A$M, etc. I'd take the 2003 D over 2001, however.

UptheMiddle, Playa del Rey (11/19/2009 1:55:17 PM)

This year's defense is very good, but 2001 was scary good. The talent on that squad was outstanding, and Roy Williams, in particular, absolutely dominated games.
