Bowl Record

The looners has 2-4 bowl record since 2000… They have lost 4 in a row since 2003 and two of them were MNC. If they get trounce by the Gators tonight, they have lost 5 straight bowl games in a row and three of them are MNC. I wonder if BCS committee would still want to have them to appear on MNC anymore.

It’s 5:52pm and OU STILL SUCKS!!!

I know we're all supposed to hate OU...

and I do. But isn’t anyone else so tired of the SEC hype? I’m kind of indifferent, if not hoping that OU barely pulls it out, just so the asshole on CBS will shut up.

I'm going over to some old friend for the game.

For what it’s worth, today I asked everyone I saw who they were going to root for. Not a single person said OU. Some of these were not Texas fans at all. Omen? Dunno, but it made me warm and happy.

See y’all at the end of the thread.

Give ’em hell.

It’s 6:41 and OU still sucks and will for all eternity.

OU Sucks!!!!

I hate hearing all the hype about the SEC and how great tebow is because he cut foreskin off children during his spring break…..but nothing can annoy me more than Oklahoma and the thought of them winning a national championship…

Let me throw out this Reverse Psychology Karma

I’ve been nervous all week reading about the parties that will commence across Burnt Orange Nation when the Sooners lose their 4th straight BCS game, etc. And the ESPN polling shows that something like 46 states favor the Gators.

Considering our 90% and Tech’s 90% in those very same polls, and considering what happened to Bama, I dearly hope we don’t see a Sooner surprise tonight.

Perhaps now that it has been written, the demons will have been exercised.

by BrooklynHorn on Jan 8, 2009 7:06 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

believe in the curse of the Heisman

And that Karma will get our back for how we have been wronged. Or hell, just believe what you’ve seen all year, which is OU’s horrible special teams, and watch it come back to bite them in the ass.
