Just a comment for all the stat people out there. Tebow was left of 160 ballots. Thats a min. of 160 points. Tebow lost by 111 points. So just because you think Sam is all that, he is not. And I saw the interview with Tebow after the SEC Championship, he was not picking on the Big XII, its called respect. If you want to be the best you play the best. And this year OU is the best next to Florida. So come on January 8th it’s gonna be a great game for both schools. GO GATORS

Ou is good, just not as good as Texas defense. That is a fact.

OU, for the honor of the Big XII…

POUND THE GATORS INTO THE GROUND.

I am tired of the national sports media going on and on about how ‘great’ the SEC is, and how bad the defense of the Big XII is.

There has been only one match up of Big XII vs. SEC this season…Texas vs. Arkansas. The Razorbacks only put up 190 yards of offense against the Longhorns, but put up OVER 300 YARDS AGAINST EVERY SEC TEAM THEY PLAYED, before AND after they played Texas, including Alabama and Florida!

As our current DC and former SEC assistant Will Muschamp has pointed out – just who exactly in the SEC is capable of lighting up a scoreboard?

For the pride of the Big XII, hang 60 pts on the Gators.

People, I’ve heard non-Sooner fans ripping OU for years past losses; what does that have to do with this year’s team? Yes, I know they fallen short in their past four BCS bowl games but that’s history. All I heard last year before the Miami game is how Miami had owned OU even though their last game had been 20 years ago. Hell, OU lost to Notre Dame 39- 0 back in 1966; do you think the Sooners wouldn’t hang 60 points on the Irish this year? And Jim, don’t look at worthless statistics like OU is giving up 30 points a game. First of all, in our last three games, the Sooners held Texas Tech and Missouri to one touchdown in the first half while OU held big half-time advantages; it’s hard for the defense to be as sharp the second half while nursing such big leads. And OSU with their very-productive offense only scored two touchdowns on the OU defense in the first half of that game. And also remember that OU’s defense was finding itself after losing Ryan Reynolds as Austin Box was learning the mb position. And even though it still counts, a lot of those touchdowns given up by OU were not given up by the defense; they were given up by the porous kickoff teams. You can read a lot of things into statistics that sometimes don’t tell the true story.

In league play Baylor averged 24 points a game. OU gave up 30 points a game. What does that sound like?

Mr. Tramel: Apparently you don’t follow the SEC much, which makes sense since you are Big 12. If you did, however, you would realize that Tebow was in no way trying to insult OU’s defense. He has said much the same any time he has played against a defense for the first time, including Alabama’s this past Saturday. All he was really saying was that he was looking forward to the challenge. You would be hard-pressed to find any instance where Tebow intentionally cut down any individual or team, it’s just not his nature. Check around, learn a little about him, you’ll find he does not verbally denegrate opponents.

Oh, and for the guy that said, “Stafford is the most OVER-rated QB in football.” AGREE, I have been saying that for 3 years now… he’s got nothing but a strong arm… Playing QB at this level is more smarts than a rocket arm – and we know Stafford doesn’t have much of those (smarts.)

I remember all the Georgia fans talking smack BEFORE the game on another website… and then after the smack down the Dawgs received, no one came back to the website again.

Will all of you – OU and UF – come back and face this website no matter what happens? I say, “LET THEM PLAY – THEN RUN YOUR MOUTH!”

For the Lame-Ass that said Robinson has “escapability and Tebow doesn’t,” you made me laugh – thanks!

reminds me of brady’s comment about plaxico and the giants defense. just a humorous comment that may ring true, may not. my impression of the quote (given by the TV analysts, not by tebow) was the tebow was refering to heisman stats, not the title game. if the quote was before the game, he would not have known if UF or OU was gonna win last saturday. but maybe he said it again.
