Comment on OSU-Colorado: Gundy learns his lesson by stubbie johnson

I think you over looked the obvious. Gundy doubted Cate’s ability to handle the pressure, but he still hoped a dedicated kid could have a moment in the sun. If Cate didn’t make the cut it would give him an oportunity to see how Weeden would do under pressure. Either senario Gundy comes out the good guy. If we lost no big deal we still probably end up with the Cotton Bowl or the Alamo Bowl. OSU wins out odds are they still get the Cotton Bowl. Either way Bowl game in Texas.

Gundy’s biggest miss was understanding Colorado’s ability to control the line of scrimmage on defence. That being said he still pulled out a late season conference win with a pair of untested quarterbacks. No body is perfect. But somebody is likely to beat OU in Norman this year. With a roster plagued by injury and suspension. On top of that the guy has a good heart. Us Pokes are proud.

Bewwy go back to the liquor bottle. Your analysis shows that your drunken stupor is wearing off. When will you Jokelahoman writers realize that OSU is for real and are gonna be challenging your beloved Sooners every year? Uh Oh! What’s that? OSU can play defense now? Prepare yourself Berry. Your boys are lookin at a possibility of staying home for the holidays.

Arrogant!!! All you talking heads said the Cowboys should win against Colorado even without a quarterback. Who is arrogant?

I believe the reason why Cate started was due to the fact that he has been at OSU for 4 years…he knows the offense better. Obviously, Weeden definitley has the physical abilities. I sure hope Gundy learned his lesson

Comment on College Football Week 11: An ode to Boone Pickens Stadium by Jasen

Except for the National Championship game I think all the bowl games are just exhibition games. Love to watch football late in the season feel like thats when the most well played games are. Then every body takes a month off for bowls and we end up with a bunch of sloppy games. The teams who win are normally the ones with the most motivation or the ones least disapointed with how their season turned out.
The bowl season is silly, how would we like the world series to be played six weeks after the division championships are played. We normally have a better super bowl when they play it the next week rather than taking two weeks off.

You see, it takes someone outside of Cowboy fans and outside of Oklahoma to appreciate how special OSU is.

OUklahoman readers have been fed a steady diet of “Love ou, hate OSU” for decades. The people of Oklahoma are no different from any members of a society that have been led by propaganda.

Someone not used to having the OUlahoman’s yellow journalism in their daily sports page are open to discover the beauty and joy of Stillwater and OSU.

I’m surprised this actually made the paper.

Maybe OSU winning has had some positive affect on Tramel.

Nah. It’s just a momentary lapse of his reason.

” Mangino twists in the wind ”

I have a real hard time visualizing that, that must be one stout pole holding him up.

And a heck of a wind to spin him around.

Comment on Notre Dame: Why not hire Switzer? by Dennis

Nobody wants to go to Notre Dame anymore.They haven’t gotten quality atheletes since Holtz was fired.Why anybody would want to go coach at there is beyond me,I know rich tradition money etc.But you got to back up and look at the big picture it comes down to players.Now days if there is a star athlete chances are he is going to USC,Texas,Oklahoma Florida,etc.For example look at Florida State they aren’t getting the atheletes they once were neither is Miami,is it possible they will one day soon get back on top yes it is possible but Notre Dame hasn’t been there since 1990 ,1991 twenty years ago I just think it would be a good job if you want to reep the results an Notre Dame isn’t going to be patient for it to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it’s cool and all that the old (presumably rich) guy gets to crisscross the country in an RV and see games in all of these hallowed places. but is it me or does his “blog” read a lot more like a rambling christmas letter from someone’s grandpa? can we get this guy an editor?

and not to be a stoops apologist (not that i would want to be) but to me he is saying about bowl games that it’s not a big deal since you have no control over whom you are paired with in a game. as far as regular-season, out-of-conference games are concerned, schools have a say in which teams are on its schedule. i wouldn’t want to play my brother, h. worthington hethergaard IV, in a regular-season game either. but if we were to both wind up in a big bowl game (or a not-so-big one), may the best man win. plus, i doubt stoopsie is gonna give you scribes much fodder for any brother v. brother stories. i can almost see the terrible headlines…
