	Report Comment DontHaveToGuess, (9/13/2009 4:17:21 AM) I think the offense turned the ball over at the start of drives twice late in the game. You can't blame the defense for that. Those turnovers, a missed field goal and kick OSU didn't field at the end of the first half are more why OSU lost the game. Especially the 2 late-game turnovers. To expect a defense to be hugely, hugely improved just because you hire a new coordinator wasn't realistic. Human nature maybe but not realistic. The guy OSU had last year, Beckman, wasn't a bad coach. He's a head coach now and his team won a big game this weekend. The offense's late game early-in-the-drive turnovers with a chance to win on the line depress me more than how the defense played.
	Report Comment FrankEaton, Tulsa (9/13/2009 6:46:04 AM) We simply got out played! You can put what ever spin you want on it, but the cowboys got out played by a far inferior team. Whether we came in over rated or over confident seems to be up for debate! The cowboys couldn't handle the presure and choked!

	Report Comment Graybeard, Tulsa (9/13/2009 6:54:32 AM) I wouldn't call Houston a "far inferior team", Frank. Obviously not. The players got out-played and the coaches got out-coached.
	Report Comment Ignatz, Broken Bow (9/13/2009 10:35:22 AM) Houston was not inferior, but obviously superior to a greatly overvalued team. Expectations of OSU blow-out against a team that should cruise through Conf. USA were never justified. Did I miss something but did OSU overwhelm sme great teams at the end of last season to merit such optimism. Looks like the "Big 12" is just the "Medium 12", like Stoops is "Small Game Bob."
	Report Comment canesablowin', (9/13/2009 11:15:31 AM) Look at this way. After TU beats OU the Bedlam series still will be able to determine who are the second and third best teams in the state are. There should be all sorts of national interest story lines surrounding that over hyped game!!! But, if the Tulsa World wants to cover the best game that will be played this year in the state, plan on circling Nov. 7 on your calendar. That's when your TU Golden Hurricane will have a chance to beat the Top 10 Houston Cougars. Finally, yesterday's beating of OSU was only an upset in bettor's eyes. The best team coaching and personnel-wise won as expected by many who understand that the Big 12, once again, is closer to the Smurf 12. Can you say Toledo???
	Report Comment DanDDiver, Smyrna (9/13/2009 11:57:02 AM) It appears both OSU and ou were overrated or played like all they had to do was show up. It's better to lose early and there's plenty of teams that have: OSU, ou, Ohio State, ND, FSU and UGA. It's early and there's time to get on a roll. Sure, it hurts to lose to Houston and BYU, but a win over Texas (for OSU, not ou), Tech and the rest of the Big 12 would certainly erase the pain of yesterday. One thing's for certain -- the Cowboys nor Swooners should take themselves too seriously for the rest of the year. That would be another mistake. Better get back to work, OSU and ou.
	Report Comment Reality Check, (9/13/2009 5:08:15 PM) Funny that this article comes directly after Dave's "Times Are Changing" article for OSU. Seems like Saturday's game was much of what we've seen from them before. They are still a very good team and can have a good year, but I believe much of the hype was a bit premature.
	Report Comment TexaSooner, Houston (9/14/2009 11:23:20 AM) How does that crow taste "slowpokes"? and wash it down with some stillwater. HaHaHa
	Report Comment CW Kingston, (9/14/2009 12:20:16 PM) OSU did dog it Saturday! Where is the chemistry on the offensive side. The greatest D in the world is and efficient Offense.
