	Report Comment tulsaOUfan, Tulsa (12/30/2008 11:08:25 PM) Even though few pokie state fans root for the Sooners and many root against them, I was rooting for pokie state. Good showing though.
	Report Comment Plumb Bob, Edmond (12/31/2008 12:00:22 AM) Once again, OSU underwhelms and underperforms. Senior all-world tight end Pettigrew went the ENTIRE season WITHOUT a single TD...why? Because the coaching staff doesn't have a clue on how to use the best talent ever fielded by Halloween U. Gumby needs to become a man, and hand the reins over to a real offensive coordinator. It has been 20 years since the pokes have had a 10 win season...20 freak’n years! OSU is in the fifteenth year of their five year rebuilding plan. Same song (High Hopes), twentieth verse! Poooooor aggies…
	Report Comment Green Shirt, (12/31/2008 12:14:03 AM) Plumb Bob go suck an......Egg
	Report Comment Bullnose, Jay (12/31/2008 12:14:46 AM) Late hits on our QB. PAC 10 officials.
	Report Comment Bullnose, Jay (12/31/2008 12:18:53 AM) Officials should work for the NCAA instead of particular conferances.
	Report Comment goosegra, (12/31/2008 12:45:04 AM) Bullnose, your a tool with your excuses. The refs were from the Big10 and I didnt see any late hits. OSU got thumped in the second half. Quack quack!
	Report Comment tulsaOUfan, Tulsa (12/31/2008 12:47:03 AM) I don't think these were Pac 10 officials. Officiating crews in bowl games come from a conference not playing in the game.
	Report Comment GeneTulsa, Aubrey (12/31/2008 1:22:37 AM) IT IS A DISGRACE THAT OKLAHOMA ST.. LOST TO OREGON OSU SHOULD START FOOTBALL AND STOP PLAYING SISSY Ball. OSU is a disgrace too the great, OF OKLAHOMA.
	Report Comment Have that, America (12/31/2008 1:23:27 AM) they were pac 10 officials...said so at the start...but thats neither here nor there. we got out played in the 2nd half and thats all there is to it. good showing, but not good enough. guys like plumb bob of course love it...but then again...those of us that went to school love our college degrees, while guys like him loves his mullet. what a piece of trash. win or lose, I still love my pokes.
	Report Comment Have that, America (12/31/2008 1:24:19 AM) oh, and guys of course like genetulsa fall into that group as well... so classy...
	Report Comment Loki, Broken Arrow (12/31/2008 1:44:04 AM) Hmmm...establish a lead. Lose a lead. Pattern vaguely familiar. Rumor: Mr. Pickens canceled flight, dispatched team in wind-powered Studebaker. Makes you wonder if state teams intend to turn bowl season into re-enactment of the Dust Bowl.
	Report Comment ShawnaS, Tulsa (12/31/2008 4:31:17 AM) Plumb bob - you need to add another o to bob. We had a great game until a HARD hit on our QB - not a bad hit, just one of those ouch moments. He never played the same after that and I can't say I blame him. Throwing into the grass and missfires all over the place. It was a 13th ranked team and a 15th ranked team, hardly an embarrassment. Only a stuck up OU fan like Gene would think so. Better fortune to OU.
	Report Comment Hijinx, (12/31/2008 6:02:30 AM) Congratulations to the pokes on a 9-4 season and 30min of great football in the Holiday Bowl.
	Report Comment proud2be.ndn, indian country (12/31/2008 6:25:26 AM) too bad. does gundy have to give back his bonus? I was in San Diego the last time OSU played the Holiday Bowl. Great fun! I don't even remember if they won or not.
	Report Comment Kryptonite, Lowcash Oklahoma (12/31/2008 6:37:39 AM) "The 2008 Cowboys, having surged to a 7-0 start and a No. 7 national ranking in October, were beaten in four of their final six games to finish at 9-4" Stoolwater State, keeping the tradition of losing alive and well! oh yeah....wait till next year! LOL
	Report Comment cs, (12/31/2008 6:54:00 AM) OSU, stick to what you do best: basketball! Their football team is better than their basketball team. Maybe wrestling is what they do best.
	Report Comment BixBaseballDad, (12/31/2008 7:58:53 AM) OK there were at least three late hits not called (the ESPN announcers even pointed them out) but that's beside the point the defense takles and OSU wins by two touch downs.... I believe they missed defensive coach alot more then they let on.... GO POKES young team that will be even better next year!!
	Report Comment Dave in Houston, Houston (12/31/2008 8:30:06 AM) What do you do when your QB just gets the crap knocked out of him, call two consecutive pass plays. Brilliant Gundy! What do you do when your star WR is injured and you have a under-used 1st round NFL TE ready and waiting...keep throwing to the hurt WR. Brilliant Gundy!! What do you do when your QB is still showing signs of injury from that previous hit and us unable to throw more than 10yrs...run deep pass routes over and over. Brilliant Gundy!!! Way to have your finger on the pulse of the game. This "L" is squarely on Gundy's shoulders.
	Report Comment Daniel Day Simpson, Edmond (12/31/2008 8:37:20 AM) Officiating is always the 12th man against you. Just wait until the OU/Florida game. Those refs hate Stoops. They have called him on some rather stupid things. Bob called a time out during a play. When the team lined up they threw a flag for changing the play. Bob had to take that one to the NCAA. If changing the play is illegal, Sam Bradford would be in jail.
	Report Comment anm1135, (12/31/2008 8:46:46 AM) To the poster who said it was an embarrasment to lose to Oregon and should quit playing football, I guess UO should have quit football about 2 years ago. There was at least one late hit, and having Dez Bryant and Zac Robinson injured really hurt the team, but in the end, Oregan just ran over OSU. Let's see if the OSU president starts a letter writing campaign like the UO president did after a loss to Oregon.
	Report Comment 52favoriteteacher, WASHBURN, MO (12/31/2008 8:47:07 AM) OSU Next year will be the year. The cowboys have had a great season. I too hate to see you guys end it with a loss. But hey look at the big picture. This time next year will be for the national champship with a couple of breaks along the way.
	Report Comment Bluebird48, Whiting, (12/31/2008 8:47:16 AM) jsj1999, Tulsa (12/30/2008 11:09:40 PM) Oh well, time for TBoone to sell his team -- Set up the contract JSJ!!! Really!
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (12/31/2008 8:55:48 AM) Regardless, it was a tough loss for the Big 12.
	Report Comment Outrageous, (12/31/2008 9:05:23 AM) They were in a bowl?
	Report Comment ORrulesOKdrools, (12/31/2008 9:34:12 AM) Typical whining fans from the state of Oklahoma. The refs were from the Big 10 not the Pac 10. Y'all got out muscled by the "soft" Pac 10 and are looking for an excuse, look no farther than the mirror!
