OaO Oklahoma Football Thread

As of right now the only Big XII championship game I want to see is OU/KSU because right now KSU is the only team that can give OU a game.

And the only reason THEY can do that is b/c of who their coach is and the fact he knows the in's and out's of OU's football team and always has his team play them tough no matter how bad they are.

That is the ONLY Big XII title game that will be any good.

 

Kansas? OU already drummed them.

Nebraska? OU will drum them tomorrow.

Colorado? Mediocre at best.

Missouri? Brad Smith would be forced to throw like crap and OU would run over his ass.

Iowa State? BWAHAHAHAHA!

 

Kansas State is the only team in that division that has a legitimate shot at OU.

The only game I want to see is OU/Missouri or OU/Iowa State. The only two games that we haven't already seen. If it has to be a sequel game then make it OU/Texas or OU/A&M, otherwise I'm not intrested.

[Damaramu 0]

An OU/KSU sequel would probably be good. Missouri and ISU wouldn't be able to do jack shit against OU. But KSU can.

I just got back from the OU/Nebraska game and I've decided that the rest of the country is full of brain dead morons!

 

They showed on the big screen everything relating to OU/Auburn/USC.

 

First of all OU's opponents had the BEST combined record while Auburn's opponents had the worst.

OU has the highest strength of schedule out of the 3 teams(OU is 10, Auburn is 24, and USC is like 35)

OU has beaten 3 nationally ranked teams on the road, USC has beaten NONE, and Auburn has beaten 2.

 

HOW COULD OU BE LEFT OUT OF THIS GAME!? They've played better opponents and have won all of them! They beat two ranked teams on the road 2 weeks in a row!

They have one of the best QB's(maybe the best) in the country running that offense!

 

Jason White was like 25 for 32 or something like that with 383 yards, 3 TD's, and NO int's tonight. He set a school record with 18 consecutive completions. He has the most TD's and Yards out of the QB's going for the Heisman. Actually his stats are so much better than Leinhart's it's not even funny. And yet Kellen Winslow(a moron that produced a moron) said that he had an average game and didn't improve his Heisman status? BULLSHIT. If anything he should be the front runner for that damn statue now. He's done nothing but prove himself every week and if you deny it you're either braindead or bias. It's that simple.

 

OU is the #2 team in the country and they should go at it with Auburn in the Orange Bowl. It's that simple. USC is not the best team in the country and they've struggled against some mediocre competition. If OU is left out of the title game it's going to create a huge uproar b/c it's just not right.

Oh and the computers aren't lowering them it looks like. The human voters would have to lower them and if the human voters keep them out of the title game then they should all have their votes revoked b/c they're bias morons. It's that simple.

[Damaramu 0]

But we did have some fun at the game. Even though it was freezing and raining.

I just gave Bill Callahan hell throughout the entire game. That was great.

 

Luckily I didn't contribute to the 15 yard penalty for throwing Oranges onto the field.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Maybe biased. Or because, y'know, Auburn just fucking wailed on Georgia.

 

When you look at the AP poll today, you might have an aneurysm. Good luck.

Okay Dama's madness is spreading in multiple threads again and this thread was created to avoid this.

 

I'll get the conversation started back up in here...OKLAHOMA IS TEH SUC!!! Discuss.

[Bored 0]

I'm gonig to continue to try to keep this from now spreading into four different threads. Here are Dama's last posts in three other threads so please let's reply to them here:

 

Of the QB's that are being considered for the Heisman and let's be realistic White and Leinhart will be the two sitting there in NYC unfortunately Smith won't be. If he was I'd say hand it to him before the ceremony even started. But I can almost bet he won't be a finalist based off who he plays for and the voters being braindead in that regard.

If the final four is White, Leinhart, Bush, Peterson then they need to give it to White. He's the best out of those 4 and he deserves it.

Yeah White's been helped by Peterson but the point is that even if Peterson wasn't their he'd still do the same thing. Last year while he had bad knees and had no run game to speak of he threw 40 TD's and 5 INT's. This year he has Peterson to take some of the load off. Point is that without Peterson he put up phenomenal numbers. So to say he's only good b/c of Peterson is absurd. Without Peterson he was putting up huge numbers. The only reason he doesn't put up those numbers this year is b/c he can hand the ball off to Peterson. Without Peterson the guy would probably have 40 TDs again!

 

And that's just stupid.  You can't just start a Heisman thread and expect people not to mention other players especially when one of the players you mentioned isn't even in the hunt in a lot of people's minds.

Not in the hunt? Is that why he was 2 on the ESPN poll and the other big one who's name always escapes me but has many Heisman voters voting on it....he was 1?

 

So if Auburn were to jump OU in both polls but OU were to remain one in computer rankings they'd pretty much hold onto the #2 in the BCS right?

Plus there's like a 250-300(something like that) difference between OU and Auburn in the BCS and only like a 200 point difference between OU and USC.

 

Wow this is going to be close.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Bush shouldn't get it. He barely averages about 70 yards a game rushing. So he returned kicks for TDs, that doesn't make him a Heisman in my eyes.

[Damaramu 0]

So then it's down to White and Smith.

Right now there's 5 guys going for it. White, Smith, Leinhart, Peterson, and Bush.

Nobody else is even near the top of the list on any polls.

That means that it's pretty much down to White and Smith on the QB front of those 5.

Smith does deserve it but he isn't going to get it b/c of who he plays for which is dumb.

That means that out of Leinhart, Peterson, Bush, and White......White is the most deserving and the best player.

Callahan is pissed. Ha. We did give him and his players hell though.

[iggymcfly 0]

I was looking over the Heisman candidates last night, and I'll agree that White has the best stats of any major conference QB this year. The only thing that bothers me in terms of giving him the Heisman this year, is that in the biggest game of the year (Texas), he played far and away his worst game, and it was only due to tremendous efforts by Peterson and the defense that OU got the win.

 

Also, you were right that Peterson doesn't really get in the end zone. He's only got nine touchdown all year, and unless he runs for five or six TDs in the last two games, he probably won't get the Heisman either.

 

The player who's not on many Heisman lists that would probably get my vote is JJ Arrington from Cal. He's got the highest ypc average of any back with a decent number of carries at 6.9 which is way ahead of Benson and Peterson. He hasn't really had a bad game all year, and he's the only candidate that I can't really find a flaw with.

 

My Heisman list right now looks like this:

 

1. JJ Arrington

2. Adrian Peterson

3. Jason White

4. Alex Smith

5. Reggie Bush

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Can anyone please explain why REGGIE BUSH is being considered? I'm an USC fan and in all the games I've seen, he's not that impressive.

[Damaramu 0]

Interesting fact that proves why OU is an elite team:

they've got the highest bowl winning percentage of any team in the country AND they've won more games since World War II than any team in the country.

This team has so much tradition and I was unaware of it in the 90's when they sucked. But once they come back to prominence all the tradition comes back out.

Not to mention they have the longest win streak in history (I believe)

[Damaramu 0]

Yes that is right. When Bud Wilkinson was the coach I believe.

Not to mention they have 7 national titles which is a good number(it's more than most) and if Bob Stoops coaches for the next 15 years and ND and Michigan don't get their acts together OU will probably have the most titles in history.

Not to mention they've also won like 38 conference titles and like 27 or something bowl games.

I wouldn't be too sure about catching Michigan, with Chad Henne and Michael Hart being only freshmen, Michigan could definitley be national title contenders for the next 3 years.

[CanadianChris 0]

They would've been contenders this year, had they gone to South Bend and done what was expected of them.

[iggymcfly 0]

Can anyone please explain why REGGIE BUSH is being considered? I'm an USC fan and in all the games I've seen, he's not that impressive.

He's got 13 TDs, and the vast majority of them were on plays that other players wouldn't make. For instance, Cedric Benson has 18 TDs, this year, but with the offensive line, and support from the passing game, his backup could probably have gotten about 15 or so of those just as easily.

 

But most of those long kick and punt returns, and even long catches, are plays that only he could make. His speed's incredible, and he makes tacklers miss like no one else in the game right now.

 

I'd say that without Reggie Bush, USC probably would have lost to Virginia Tech, Stanford, and Cal this year, and wouldn't even be in BCS contention.

[Damaramu 0]

There's talk out of Norman that OU wants to play Nebraska in the confernece title game b/c Stoops and Callahan just started a whole bunch of bad blood and Stoops wants to throw the ball the entire game to embarass Nebraska.

Man after one little game the OU/Nebraska rivalry gets intense.

[cabbageboy 0]

I believe it was KENTUCKY of all teams that ended the epic OU win streak. Anyone wanna back me up on that? UK at one time had Adolph Rupp and Bear Bryant on the same campus. How the university survived is beyond me.

 

Alas, since in KY nobody gives a shit about football compared to basketball UK stuck with basketball and Bryant ended up at Bama eventually and UK has sucked ass in football for the most part ever since.

 

Dama, you are delusional if you think they would DARE give Jason White another Heisman. Hell, I'd repossess the one he currently has if anything, given his performances in the two big games last year.

[Damaramu 0]

cabbage what part of bad knees, broken hand and broken foot do you not understand? Nobody can turn in a Heisman performance with those numbers.

After the season he had surgery on all those things I just listed. So get over it. He was good enough to win it but KSU broke his hand and foot early in the game.

 

And this season he's perfectly healthy and putting up good numbers of course his Heisman numbers were near godly but he's getting near it again and many though he wouldn't come close this season and he's proven them wrong.

 

People said he couldn't come back from double knee surgery. He did that.

 

People said he couldn't win the Heisman. He did that too.

 

People said he couldn't come back after two devastating losses and all the injuries he had at the end of last season. He did that too.

 

People said that he couldn't come NEAR his Heisman numbers. He's done that too.

 

People say he can't win another Heisman. Well right now he's the frontrunner for that award.

In the "WTF?" column, this from coach Bob Stoops, on ESPN analysts pushing Auburn as #2 over OU because ESPN has a contract with the SEC:

 

"I'm saying I'm aware of what [ESPN's] contracts are with. Whether people are directed in certain ways, I'm not going to say that. I think all the people ought to be aware who their contracts are with and what some of their agendas may be."

 

Apparently, "spreading asinine conspiracy theories" ranks somewhere above "preparing for the Baylor game" on the priority list.

[Damaramu 0]

Prepare for Baylor? Who prepares for Baylor?

 

Anyways he wasn't actually spreading a conspiracy theory b/c he also said that he's no trying to indicate a bias.

He and Tubberville have both brought up valid points b/c they both questioned "Why is USC exempt from all this discussion about who belongs where?"

Please, that's incredibly naive. Just by opening his mouth he's saying there's a bias -- being diplomatic about it doesn't change what he's saying. If he didn't want to say there's a bias, he wouldn't have said anything at all.

 

He and Tubberville have both brought up valid points b/c they both questioned "Why is USC exempt from all this discussion about who belongs where?"

Because they're #1. Unless they lose, they're going to stay #1, whether Tuberville or Stoops or anyone else likes it or not.

[Damaramu 0]

Yeah well I don't understand all the OU/Auburn talk anymore either. ESPN should justs come out and say what the board figured out.

"We here at ESPN would like to end the Who's #2 talk by letting you all know that unless Oklahoma loses or Auburn takes a huge lead on them in the polls or even jumps to #1 which is likely to not happen then the Orange Bowl is not in doubt. People in Oklahoma and LA need to book there travel reservations now."

Yup sounds about right. Oklahoma and Auburn are down to the wire. That's why people are questioning the two, but USC? The only way media would vote them out of the #1 spot is if they lose outright.

Actually Kentucky ended a long win streak in the late 40's and Kentucky ended that.

But the 47 game winning streak was ended by Notre Dame in like 1957.

Dama, I don't ever want to hear you complain about the Lakers or their fans again. Ever. Especially after all the trash I saw you spew in this year's championship series thread. Ever, ever. You are one of the *worst* homers I have known and this threads shows it. Terribly. And I've met some obsessive freakin nuts. Your comment about preparing for Baylor is just as bad as the trash you talked about the Lakers "not giving credit" to the teams they beat or being "good winners" after games. Rubbish.

 

Quit clogging threads up with your OU bumpkin jibber jabber. Criminey.

 

White will probably win the Heisman and in the process piss on Earl Campbell's legacy of winning two after being the 2nd coming of Jim Brown. Amazing. Jason White and Earl Campbell, double Heisman Trohpy winners...so wrong to say.

 

On that note, I don't think anyone from USC should be eligible for the Heisman. No one has had a consistent string of stand-out performances compared to other players out there. OU's defense is about as stable as Anna Nichole Smith's sanity but their offense has been top notch. I'll give them that and that it's.
