	Report Comment Dad, Up North (10/13/2008 6:28:28 AM) texas can't handle the pressure of beating OU AND being #1. Let's wait and see what happens. Go Missou!!!
	Report Comment 2curious, Tulsa, OK 74104 (10/13/2008 7:10:27 AM) No one goes undefeated anymore. BYU - Utah - Tulsa have the best shot at doing it through their regular season and conference championships. But, they'll still have a bowl game to get through... I don't see it happening. So, there's still hope for our Sooners.
	Report Comment wilson, (10/13/2008 7:32:51 AM) OU fans...we all need to take a step back and view what is really happening here. We have a defense that cannot adjust to a quality opponent who can match up in speed and strength. We get outcoached every time. Look at the bowl games!! If OU does somehow get back to the Big12 title game, and can win it, they will again be blown out in a BCS game unless the defensive coaches can actually put together a game plan for once.
	Report Comment M. E. in Tulsa, Tulsa (10/13/2008 9:04:59 AM) Oh...how sad...sniff.sniff.
	Report Comment Stick61, Tulsa (10/13/2008 9:07:08 AM) Yes, the ritual moaning and groaning has set in among the folk who were beating their chests last week.

	Report Comment Dave in Houston, (10/13/2008 12:49:48 PM) Dad, Up North (10/13/2008 6:28:28 AM) said, "texas can't handle the pressure of beating OU AND being #1." Mizzou can't handle the pressure of being #3...we saw what happened. cough cough
	Report Comment Have that, America (10/13/2008 3:15:31 PM) how is OU 4th in the division...and 4th in the country....following that logic shouldn't the 1. 2. 3. teams be Texas, Tech, OSU?? OU should be in the 9th
	Report Comment Matt in BA, (10/13/2008 3:22:24 PM) No, OU doesn't need any help, they just need to realize they have a good defense, its their offense, just keep scoring, forget about what the media talking heads will say when they start scoring 77 points a game. and since they will be kicking off alot more, keep trying onside kicks or punt for the kickoff to get better coverage. that will be all the help they need.
	Report Comment leestrain, Corpus Christi (10/14/2008 4:29:47 AM) UT's next 3 are against Missou (12), Okla. State (10), & TX. Tech (5). OU will be at least 5 places ahead of UT at the end. This from a UT fan and OU hater. We are gloating now but not 4 long probably.

	Report Comment Shepard, (10/15/2008 2:02:42 AM) Ok folks. I admit I blew my prediction on the OU Texas game. And I am of the firm opionion that all those who jump off the OU bandwagon after that thrilling loss, are not worthy to be Sooner fans. The ones who already are not Sooner fans; well, I never valued your negative comments to begin with, but for Sooner fans to be whining about a loss to a good team in a really good close game is just "whiny". So, on to the topic I'd like to discuss with everyone. What about the National Championship hopes? Check out these scenarios (yeah, they are what ifs, but it would be interesting to post about): A. OU runs the rest of the table, Missouri loses 1 more game but beats Texas when they meet and then beats them again in the Big 12 game? Could OU get to the NC with 1 loss, if Missouri and Texas have 2 losses, even if the Sooners are not the big 12 champions? (this is the most interesting scenario) B. I guess it would take 2 losses by Texas for OU to get to the big 12 game, along with some help from PSU and Bama if they want to go all the way to the National Championship. C. Is there a scenario where OU could jump Texas in the South without Texas losing twice? (I'm thinking no, but hey, it's worth looking at). Interesting stuff. Can't wait to see how it all turns out. OU, steady your ship and win out. Worst case scenario, holiday or cotton bowl are not too shabby either.
	Report Comment Skyhawk, Downtown (10/15/2008 7:49:24 AM) Endora, I couldn't be more certain that you have hit it right on the head. Venebles is a extreme case of failed anger management. OU has been weak since Mike Stoops left and I honestly don't think that Brent has the intelligence to run a defense. The question is.... who would take his place?
