Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Ok I just read about this on ESPN.com http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1745891 Apparently they want no piece of LSU but they'd rather play OU? Either team and they'll die so I guess it's a moot point. But I wonder why they'd rather play OU? Oh and did anyone else hear that thing on ESPN earlier about the BCS adding a 5th bowl game to decide the National Champion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Der Kommissar 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Maybe OU's paying them more to do the quick job. And, oh yeah: OU officials have also been talking with Oregon State officials about a possible two-game series with the Ducks playing at OU on Sept. 18. I think they need to fire whoever let that rather huge mistake go through. The Oregon St. Ducks? *shakes head* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 I'm confused. Which does he mean? Oregon Ducks or Oregon St. Beavers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fökai 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 I'm confused. Which does he mean? Oregon Ducks or Oregon St. Beavers? When the report said "OU officials have also been talking with Oregon State officials about a possible two-game series with the Ducks playing at OU on Sept. 18.", he believed that the reporter screwed up. To clear it up, rumor is that Oklahoma would play the Ducks (rumored game) and Beavers (confirmed game) on consecutive weekends. This rumor is a pretty big deal up here in Oregon.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Oh I see........so the reporter didn't screw up...he just wasn't clear enough. OU vs. the State of Oregon? That would be bad if OU beat both of them. Oh hell....OU would probably beat both teams. But they have enough non-conference games don't they? Bowling Green, Oregon, Oregon St., Houston, and then aren't they play Air Force? I thought they only played 4 or 5 non-conference games....not 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fökai 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Last list I noticed had: Bowling Green (09/04/04) Florida A&M (09/11/04). Arkansas State (09/25/04). Oregon State has since been confirmed for 9/18 (their only idle week during their season, since they begin a few weeks late). IIRC, the Florida A&M game was called off, so the Sooners were looking for a new opponent to strengthen their schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Ok so they won't be face ASU either. So it'd be Bowling Green, Oregon, Oregon State, and Houston if all goes right. Who's the toughest team that they are playing out of those? Any of them actually have a chance to beat the Sooners? Like if they're playing ball like they did against Texas where they won 65-13? Well I'll have season tickets so I hope they're home games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fökai 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Who's the toughest team that they are playing out of those? Oregon, with a strong recruiting class and a good core of returning Seniors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 So Oregon is their Alabama for this off season? The team that has a chance of beating them that they need to play to look good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teke184 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Oregon State will already be playing LSU next season, although I have to check on the week. Maybe they're trying to pull out after they didn't get the deal they wanted, which was 2 games at LSU and 1 at OSU, instead of the 1 game at LSU and the big-ass payoff. Never mind... the LSU-Oregon St. game is on Sept. 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
