OU: Beware needing to dominate

Truer words were never spoken. A very timely commentary, amidst all the hoopla over the big win and the BCS scenarios.

You are correct Mr. Tramel. OSU is dangerous, and any team that can run the football like OSU does and presents the balance the pokes do is much more dangerous than a team like Tech. In fact I think OSU is better than Tech and will be a tougher challenge for OU. Not to mention, OSU is best when they can spoil OU’s season. This is a dangerous mix.

T

Berry, 11/24/08
As usual you hit the nail on the head with your comments.
If the Sooners play close to what they did last Saturday versus Tech,in my opinion the Sooners will win.It is hard however to comeback w that kind of performance 2 weeks in a row.
We shall see.

Berry, I couldn’t agree more, especially since this will be the maiden run Boone cathedral in Bedlam, which should make the pokes even MORE psyched.
I do propose a more recent example than the debacle vs. the Hogs: how ’bout the 1985 Orange Bowl against Washington? Switzer spent a month talking up the Sooners–his job–only to see the Huskies trap block Casillas all night and Gibbs having no answer for it.

T. Andre said: “..In fact I think OSU is better than Tech…”
REALLY? I believe those teams played and the result was rather decisive. Even so, I totally agree with you about the aggies being a tougher challenge due to the running game and the emotional factor of being in the position to derail the Sooners conference and national title hopes. Mike Gundy will indeed have to prove “I’m a Man…….” a call the game ov his life. Wonder if he’ll sit on equipment box (or whatever that thing is) and chart plays and not watch the field when the OSU defense is on the field?
Should be a GREAT game!

OSU better than Tech?!?!?! We have a winner on Monday yet for the “Most Delusional Aggie Of The Week”. I guess OU should’ve passed Texas in trhe BCS per that logic.

I think what has happened in the Big 12 South this year is teams get worn down because the competition is so tough. Texas played OU, MU, and OSU and then fell one play short on the road against Tech. It would have taken a once in a generation team (like say the 1995 Nebraska or 2004 USC team) to win four games in a row like that. Tech played Texas and OSU and then had to go on the road to OU and just ran out of gas. They played nearly a perfect game against OSU and then laid an egg against OU. OSU played at MU, at Texas, had a week off against ISU and then had to go to Tech. OSU beat MU, played a great game against Texas and then hit their wall in Lubbock.

OU had been very fortuneate in that they played Texas early on a neutral site, didn’t have to play Missouri and got Tech at home after playing a run of bad or fair teams. Now they face their test. They have to go on the road, their first real test in a true road game, the week after getting up and playing nearly a perfect game against a top 10 team. I serously doubt OU will play as well on the road as the did against Tech at home. I also doubt OSU will play as badly at home as the did against Tech on the road. This may be the best bedlum game ever. I can’t wait.

Let’s not forget that the Texas Longhorns BEAT the Sooners in Dallas byt 10.

So, the Longhorns are better than OU.

OSU was not better than Tech on that one day in Lubbock, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t have beaten them in Stillwater.

So, Sooner fans, if taking one game’s result is an absolute, then Texas should be ranked above OU and be the South’s conference representative to the Big 12 Championship.

We’ll see you in Stillwater.

GO POKES!!

I don’t see how OU can claim to go over a team they lost to, and not by a small margin, on a neutral field. Yes, OU blew out Tech but they caught Tech at home after Tech just played the two biggest games in school history. Had OU run all over Tech in Lubbock, they might have a point. But they didn’t. They played Tech at home. They haven’t played a road game against a decent team all year. Nothing short of a huge blowout in Stillwater should get it done for OU. A close win shouldn’t cut it. Everyone talks about how these things should be decided on the field. Well, wasn’t a something decided in the Cotton Bowl this October?

Besides OU fans, do you really want Sponge Bob Bowl Flop to get in there again? Be careful what you wish for.

E X A C T L Y—————Barry again hits the nail squarely on the head! Go Sooners!

Nice uO cheer-leading article Berry. Now, here’s the way it should have been written . . .

Not long after the BCS rankings came out Sunday, the script was set. The Sooners, barely behind Texas — .921-.913 — in the BCS, need an impressive victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday in Stillwater.

Well, yes, that would probably do it. Rout the Cowboys anything close to the way the Sooners whacked Texas Tech (65-21 Saturday night), and OU probably would jump ahead of the Longhorns.

But two things to remember, OU fans, before deciding where to eat on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City.

1. Beating the Cowboys in Stillwater is probably not going to happen THIS year, let alone a rout..

2. The best, and only undefeated Oklahoma team of the Bob Stoops era, the 2001 Mythical National Champions, barely squeaked by a hapless 3-8 Cowboys team in Stillwater, 12-7.

3. The next year the local media was touting their Roy Williams led Oklahoma team as having “the best defense ever” or “playing their best ever.” That “unstoppable” Sooners team was shocked in Norman by a hapless 4-7 Cowboys squad, losing 16-13. Even Jim Traitor had promised the uO faithfull on the radio . . .”The Cowboys have no chance” of beating the Sooners. By the way, that loss is the only “at home” Big 12 loss in the Bob Stoops era at uO.

4. The following year, after all the excuses for the previous year’s loss had been made by the Berry Tramel’s and Craig Humphries of the world, the 7-5 Cowboys dominated the happless Sooners in Stillwater 38-28, and “Rashaun Woods is still open.”

5. Of the Top 4 Big 12 teams, none of them have lost at home this season, and there is no objective evidence that this year’s version of the “playing their best” Sooners are capable of beating “the best oSu Cowboys team” since the 1945 Mythical National Champion Cowboys who finished 9-0 with a Sugar Bowl Championship.

6. No Big 12 Championship this year for the Sooners – and no BCS Championship game for the Big 12. Texas Tech or Missouri will play in the Fiesta, Texas will play in the Holiday, oSu will play in the Cotton, and uO will show up in San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl against The oSu.

John, you can’t say that Texas deserves it over because they beat OU as this is a THREE-way tie, not a two way tie.

Three teams, 10-1 (6-1), playing in the same division each having beaten each other.

IF OU beats OSU, they will have beaten more ranked teams & have the only impressive road win of the 3, not to mention the longest winning streak & the most impressive performance against one of the other tied teams.

It’s a big IF, as OSU is an outstanding team. OU needs to bring their absolute best to beat OSU. But if they do win, that will make the difference in earning a trip to KC.

I think Phil Robins is a little misguided on no BCS championship game for the Big 12. If either OU or Texas makes the Big 12 championship game, and loses to Missouri, the other team will wind up ranked No. 2 in the country. People will not want to see a rematch of Florida vs. Alabama, unless it was field goal to win by a point at the end of regulation, or to win in overtime. Any other result will result in the loser of the SEC championship game dropping below OU or Texas (whichever team didn’t make the Big 12 championship game).

I have been worried about OSU since the start of the season, even before it became a reality that they have a good team. OSU has usually been hard to beat in Stillwater no matter what type of team they have.

I think the difference in the game is that OU’s running game is now hiting on all cylinders. OSU’s defensive line while better than a year ago, still won’t be able to consistently stop the running game. The game will be close for a half, then OSU will make a mistake such as letting a long run for a touchdown, or make a fumble, or interception.

OU by 10 or more points. This team seems to have the eye of the tiger. Losing Ryan Reynolds against Texas, really hurt. Now Austin Box has stepped up to fill that position in a decent manner.

What’s the over under on the game attendance with Holder’s ticket policy. How many OU fans will decide to pay $419 for a season ticket. With ESPN Game Day there, it could be a little embarrasing for Mike Holder to explain why he wouldn’t sell single game tickets even at an inflated price.

“John, you can’t say that Texas deserves it over because they beat OU as this is a THREE-way tie, not a two way tie. ”

Doesn’t matter. OU lost to Texas. You can’t justify putting them over Texas absent a blowout in Stillwater. Texas destroyed OU in the second half of that game. Further, look at UT’s loss. They lost at the end of a brutal four game stretch on the road on the last play of the game. Who has the least damaging loss of the three teams? Texas. If OU goes up and beats OSU by 30+ points, then I think they could claim it based on who is playing best at the end of the year. But anything short of complete domination and OU should have no claim on the title.

Hey John:
You can stop lobbying for tu, they ARE ranked above the sooners… for now. Worry about beatin’ the 12th man, because you ain’t been to good at that of late.
We’ll worry about our aggies, and you do the same.

BOOMER SOONER!

BTW: as a Sooner living in deep S. TX I depend on Berry to give me a slant from an Okie perspective. Those that want complete lack of bias… go read Rolling Stone.

Oh yeah… and just saying “doesn’t matter” in the face of a fact doesn’t change the fact.

Danny, If you knew what you were talking about you would realize that more weight is given to the games played later in the year and the goal is to have the 2 best teams at the END of the season play for the National Championship. Look at how everyone has forgotten about Florida losing to an unranked team at home earlier this year. Sure Texas beat OU in Dallas but that was over a month ago and no one can deny that the Sooners are a different team than the one that played then. They are hungry and have a purpose and have gelled as a team. That is why they are one of the best teams in football TODAY. The only thing that was decided in the Cotton bowl was that Texas was a better team at that point in the season. If they played today it could be a different outcome since they showed Saturday that no team can shut down the Sooner Express on Offense. Sam Bradford is a man on a mission. Bedlam could turn out to be the best game of the year because OSU is always dangerous at Bedlam time and even more dangerous when playing at home. Should be exciting. Go Sooners!

The rankings are the way they are. Wins late in the season carry more weight. Is it fair, maybe not, but it is the way it is.
Florida is the only top team with a home loss-and that was to a 4 loss team, and yet they are in the top 4.
Texas will gain no SOS points playing A&M and if-and as a Sooner fan,I know that can be a big if-we go into Stillwater and beat the Cowboys at recently refurbished Rustoleum stadium, we will gain enough in the computer polls to pass Texas. BOOMER SOONER!!!

Texas looked unbeatable after MU and OSU. Tech looked unbeatable after Texas and OSU. Now Oklahoma looks unbeatable after Tech. What do all three teams have in common? They all won big at home and then had to go on the road to face a top team. OU hasn’t played a quality road game all year. OSU has had two weeks to prepare and have played probably the toughest schedule of any team this country (At Missouri, Texas and Tech). They finally get to play a big game at home and OU finally has to play someone away from Norman. OU fans ought to be very worried.

John – I don’t think OU fans are worry. Looks like you and TU fans are so worry that next Thursday playing a 4-7 team which wouldn’t help you guys with computer ranking. I know “Everything big in Texas including the WHINNING”. No matter what you or I say… they all need to play the game… But we will take 30+ points (as you recommended) on the pokes if we could however I think this will be a close game (just as everyone said about TTU and OU game. We wait and see. GO SOONERS….

IF OU beats OSU, then OU goes to the BIG XII Championship.

IF OU loses to OSU, then Texas Tech goes to the BIG XII Championship… Texas Tech wins the tie breaker- head to head with texas———-Either way, TEXAS is SCREWWWWED!!! hahaha

I do believe OU is playing as well or better than anyone in the nation at this point of the season. A win, and just a win, over the 11th ranked team in the country should send the Sooners to the Big XII Championship. These late season ranking dilema’s are nearly a yearly thing and will continue to be until there is a real playoff. It is primarily a popularity contest at this time, and if we pass Texas, it is because the people and polls put us there. That’s all! Boomer! Go Big Red!

I am not a UT fan. I am an OSU fan. I just think UT is getting hosed on this deal. If it were up to me, Texas Tech would go to the tile and game and UT and OU would play each other in the toilet bowl. Both teams’ fans are equally loathsome. Texas whinned its way into the Rose Bowl in 2004 over a much more deserving Cal team. If it were anyone but OU, it would be funny to watch another team whine its way over UT into the Big 12 title game despite having lost to UT.

If there is any justice in the world, OSU will beat OU, Tech will go to the title game and UT will go to some meaningless BCS game and OU will end up in the Alamo Bowl beating some hapless Little 11 team 80-0 wondering how in the world this team managed to lose two game. GO OSU!!

John, it would matter in a 2-way tie but NOT a 3-way tie.

If you say UT deserves it because they beat OU, then Tech deserves it because they beat Texas & OU deserves it because they beat Tech.

And don’t even try to make out the UT loss to Tech as a fluke. Tech led for 58 minutes & outgained UT by 200 yards.

IF (big if, as OSU is outstanding) OU beats OSU, it has the best resume compared to the other TWO teams via:
- More wins vs ranked teams (4 wins vs current BCS Top 16)
- Best road win (only road win against a ranked team out of the THREE tied contenders)
- Longest winning streak.
- Most impressive victory over one of the other contenders.

Hello John!

It is who is playing the best football now or is the best team now! Wake up! You say that Oklahoma should not jump Texas because Texas beat Oklahoma. If that is the cas then why should Texas be ahead of Tech if Tech beat them. It is a three way tie. If Oklahoma beats OSU on the road then they should go. They have played a more difficult overall schedule than either Tech or Texas.

All OU has to do to finish ahead of Texas is to beat OSU. The human polls already have OU over Texas. I don’t see how OU falls below Texas in the human polls if they beat OSU at OSU. The computer polls have Texas ahead of OU basically because Texas has already played OSU and OU has played A&M, and OSU is a much better team than A&M. The computer polls used in the BCS aren’t allowed to use margin of victory, so they won’t notice if OU wins by 1 point or 44.

If OSU beats OU, Texas will probably still be ranked ahead of Tech, even if Tech beats Missouri (the gap between Texas and Tech is large this week). I can’t see how they can make up the gap. I think Tech’s chances of making it to the BCS championship game are extremely small.

I think it depends on how OU plays against OSU. If they really do blow out OSU in Stillwater, they will deserve it. But if they go up there and luck out, then no way. What exactly has Texas done to cause anyone not an OU fan to think they wouldn’t beat OU again? They destroyed Missouri, beat OSU and barely lost to Tech at Lubbock. So what that OU blew out Tech. They did it at home catching Tech after the two biggest games in school history. The win isn’t nearly as impressive as OU people want to believe it is. Blowing out OSU in Stillwater would be. But until they do that, thier resume isn’t as good as Texas. The question is; since both teams have the same record who won head to head and who has the least damaging loss? The answer to both questions is Texas. It is true that a 1 point win in Stillwater probably gets OU to the title game against Florida. But considering OU’s performance in these games in recent years, it won’t be right and OU will probably get drilled.

“Mythical 1945 season?” That’s freakin’ hilarious. This conversation is only relevant because an Aggie wants it so. It’s always OU in the hunt, nearly every year in and year out, for the National Championship. Not OSU. Just because you play OU doesn’t mean you’re like them.

This is going to be a very tough game no matter what. But, if OU plays with the same fire and enthusiasm that they did last Saturday they should win. But, it won’t be easy.

The OSU crowd will be a big factor. Also, you’ve got to give Mike Gundy kudos for the great job he’s done since last year. They’ve got a lot of weapons that could spoil OU’s National title hopes.

Finally, as much as I hate to admit it, great job to Brent Venables too. Where has that defense been all year???
Go Sooners!!!

I think it will be a blow out for the following reasons.

1) Gundy has never beat Stoops
2) Bradford and OU’s offense is better in all respects. Better recievers backs line and QB
3) OU will not fear the 39k Aggies who bother to go to the game. In fact it is embarassing that they cannot fill their rehabbed stadium for such a big game.
4) OSU’s defense is very vulnerable to the pass and Sam is just too good for the OSU secondary.
5) Venerables has learned not to Blitz as much on the road and keep people in front of your d-Backs
6) OU is very healthy and OSU is banged up with Pettigrew and hunter
7) The world will be watching and the momentum of the perfect game will motivate OU. Last year OSU got the tar kicked out of them as they were not physical enough to handle OU and their run game
Tradition and winning the Big 12 Championship OU has won 5 of the last 7.
9) OU’s Secondary will shut down Dez like they did Crabtree.
10) OU’s superior Kicking Game (ha just kidding) We suck there.

If OU plays like they did Saturday against Tech it won’t matter if OSU brings their A game OU will still stomp the Cowboys by 3 touchdowns at least. That was the best performance I have EVER seen by the Sooners. If OU plays average or poor the Cowboys will either loss a close game or win by a close margin. OU Seems to have hit their stride, at the perfect time. Questions is how long can they keep up this momentum? I would rather lose a close game to OSU then get smoked in the Big 12 championship or even more the national championship! If we do go all the way please show up in the Big Game, like you did against Tech!

Win or lose in Stillwater, OU is not winning the national title. Did Sooner fans bother to watch the last two years in BCS games? Further, they are not playing as well next Saturday as they did this Saturday. Playing on the road is a different deal than playing at home. That is how it works. OU hasn’t played a tough road game all year. Further, OU won’t be able to blitz Robinson like they did Harrell. Unlike Harrell, Ronbinson can run and unlike Tech, OSU can run the football. Lastly, OU punt and kick coverage flaws are going to bite them just like they did against Texas. Unless they just kick it out of bounds and concede the ball at the 35 or a short punt, what chance does OU have a stopping OSU’s return game from breaking one or more big ones the way Texas did?

Hey Berry…..Sooner Fans!

Berry, Righ on Fella.

It was so great to see the defense step up. These played tough all game….special teams….great!

My biggest gripe in the past few years has been the deer- in- the headlights syndrome that this team developes in big games., They got shoved around in the cotton bowl because of it and I was worried that the defense was going to be a 30 point crew all year.

I hope they go into Stillwater with this same chip on their shoulders. We all love to win…but that was great Saturday. Hard, focused, pounding football.

I feel good about things this year…I feel like they have found something in themselves and you want to peak at the right time…at the end….we’ll see.

Way to go Boys!

Berry, I have been around all year…enjoying the words…suffering through the video clips…kidding. I just have had little time to write. Probably a good thing for everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all those great Sooner fans out there!

oh hey and……anyone that says OU shouldn’t be beyond Texas now in any poll?

The football season didn’t end on Red River Weekend…did it? We still had more games to play…. right?

Florida lost to Ole Miss…..right? But since then….thanks to media momentum and scoring a few points against the likes of the Citadel and Our Sisters of Mercy….they are the best team in the Country???? Lets call it USC syndrome.

Well, OU has scored a few points as well…..against EVERYONE they have played.

Lose early right? Well.. OU did. Now we are playing great LATE.

So, either we finish the season and stop making the rules up as we go along (why sportswriters shouldn’t vote….sorry Berry but its to flavor of the moment for some people to have that responsibility bestowed upon them)…..or we let this thing play out. Guess what is going to happen?

Be a realist and you will be fine. Approach it with some common sense and you will understand. Otherwise….it is a YOU problem.

Go OU!

Jeff

WoofWoof: You have it backwards, man. If OSU beats OU, then Tech does go to the Big12 CCG, but Texas RETAINS its #2 ranking. They are way ahead of the other pretenders (PSU and USC). Florida vs. Bama will eliminate the loser while the winner goes to the NCG. Texas watches the CCG on TV, and regardless of who wins (Tech or Mizzou), the Horns are in the NCG. Tech is too far behind in the BCS to pass them just by beating MU. So UT fans should all be rooting big time for OSU Saturday night. Oddly, some of them are pulling for an OU beatdown of the Cowboys. Go figure.

A loss to Texas. Big deal. Making a big point out of that is like saying the Yankees are not as good as the Orioles because the latter won the most recent game. One loss during the regular season won’t kill you in almost any collegiate sport except football. Why? Silly football thinking–amounts to a temporary suspension of good sense. Playoff please.

Mr . Tramel,

Large victories impact the human polls. The effect of OU’s loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship game, but still playing in the (BCS) Championship game caused the BCS gods to remove victory margin from the computer services to make them politically correct. An OU win by 1, 11, or 111 has the same impact on the computer rankings. OU fans really need to be hoping for a victory by Cincinnati over Syracuse as well as losses by the teams that Texas played that OU did not (e.g. Nebraska beating Colorado helps OU and hurts Texas) since all of that factors into the determination of schedule strength. For instance, the Wash St OT victory over Washington hurts OU and helps OSU in the computers. An OU squeaker win over OSU away accompanied by a home Texas blowout of an A&M team that OU also smushed will not likely impact the human polls that already have OU ahead of Texas. OU could also benefit from a close and low scoring Fla-FSU game to move up one more spot in the human polls. Texas only gets a benefit from an OU loss followed by a Tech loss. They are screwed because they played four non-conference patsies as Arkansas is so bad this year and Rice was the only one that has a winning record. So in the end, OU fans will be rooting for several different teams this upcoming week. No style points needed this week.

I predicted a blow-out against Tech, and I will do the same again Okie State. Oklahoma is just a better team. The question the Aggies have to answer is how they can stop Oklahoma’s offense. They can’t. Therefore, if they get more than 3 stops against the Cowboys, it’s over. Oklahoma can only beat themselves.. and that’s not happening. Sorry.

All OU needs to do is win. It will be the first “big game” victory in the Big 12 South division away from home in a true road game this year. That will be enough.

My first thought on reading all of the comments is, did any of these people, on both sides, who were the teachers for these “educated” persons? Sadly such is the state of education in this country. Another person/persons is “their” not “there.” Having said that, the ignorance of so called college football fans is appalling. IF OU beats OSU on Sat. night, & it will be a close game (and I’m a grad & BIG OU fan), I guarantee that If OU wins they will be in the Big 12 Championship game the next Sat. night & they will beat Missouri by a lot more than OSU did. IF they beat OSU. OU is playing a top 12, which should be a top 10, team on Sat. Texas is not even playing a top 40 team Sat. Think that doesn’t matter to the computers? Quit being stupid. Florida demolished the Citadel (Yes, a D-1 school) Sat. & didn’t move up any in the BCS. And Florida is a very, very, good team, their scheduling hurt them as it’s now hurting Texas. OU has beaten TCU & Cincy, both top 16 teams in the BCS STILL in non-conference play. Who did Texas play in non-conf. play? Top 105 teams. Ck it out before showing your ignorance. Add in the fact that OU will have beaten the same teams PLUS Texas Tech despite losing to Texas Early in the year PLUS beat two other top 15-16 teams in the BCS standings & it’s very clear that OU will have beaten more top rated teams than Texas. IF they beat OSU. If they don’t beat OSU it’s all moot. So why show your ignorance before the end of the game Sat. night? I assure you people are not impressed, they are laughing at you as I’m sure Berry is when he reads, hears, these comments. Be passionate about your team, both OU & OSU have very good teams this year although I believe OU has the better team, however they are playing in Stillwater & that has never been a kind environment to OU, in any sport. Add to the fact they are an up & coming team & your have a hotter than usual Bedlam.
However MAKE NO MISTAKE I guarantee you that if OU wins Sat. night they WILL overtake Texas in the BCS & they WILL play Missouri in the Big 12 Championship game & they WILL beat Missouri worse than OSU did & they WILL play Florida in the Orange Bowl for the National Championship. And you can take that to the bank—just not Citibank.
So be passionate NOT ignorant & quit showing your ignorance for everyone to see because IF OU wins Sat. night I will be back on here Sun. night after the BCS standings come out showing OU higher & thus in the Big 12 Championship game to remind the ignorant how actually being learned about what you speak about on internet boards will go a long way to not showing everyone, & giving a lot of people laughs AT you, how ignorant you are.
And in closing, I don’t get back on to these boards after writing, in fact I mostly send my e-mails directly to the sports writer & not on these “forums,” so even though I know there will be quite a few idiots who don’t understand the factual logic of this I’m not going to be reading your inane comments so you are only providing more laughs for the informed writers/readers out there to whom this does not apply. Have a great day.

Anyone want to fly me to OKC say on Thursday….give me a ticket to the game..show me around…hang out with me at a great tailgate, watch the game…….highfive a bunch while we work the Cowgirls like a dumpster fire…..shake hands…I fly back to Vermont and trade you a ski weekend in Stowe for your hospitality.

Just in case……Who knows….maybe Boone himself will will see this and go for the deal. You will drive by Ben and Jerry’s on the way where you could score some Cherry Garcia or some Chunky Monkey or maybe a little New York Super Fudge Crunch. Good Stuff.

Maybe learn to snowboard on one of Burton’s new crazy stylish boards. Drink some great Vermont beer. Get a little Maple Syrup.

Maybe a little Cabot Cheese. Milk a cow or 400.

Maybe a little trip North to Montreal?

I did mention Ben and Jerry’s right?

Go Sooners!

Tickets….Tickets anyone!!!

Jeff in Vermont

texas and the OFFICALS beat OU was I the only one who watched the game?? the bs calls after the play is dead…ridiculous….straight up if OU played texas right now it would be no question who would win. OU will win tonight and go on to BCS title game with a blowout for sure..very good article
