So long playoffs for national championship. I LOVE it!
******* GLORIOUS!!!
A QB that denegrates his opponent with "**** UTAH" written on his fingernails deserves to get hammered. I hope the Utah players were reminding him of that when they were smashing him in the 4th quarter. Then the ***** goes and cries on the sidelines and doesn't shake hands with UTAH's players... what a pussy. Maybe next year toejams can have a little turnover Karma bite them in the ***. Fun to watch Williams throw that interception. DC for Utah did a nice job and particularly on that play baiting the throw.
I really like the Utah QB Rising... no nonsense player. His postgame press conference was great regarding the fingernail thing.
So funny that people from the old school their POS coach came from warned the toejam fans about what would happen. toejams professed they were just butthurt losing the greatest coach in football. The ONE football team they played all year, that is tough as nails, disciplined and physical, did what they usually do to a Stincoln Piley coached team. sc got their **** pushed in from the start of second quarter on, outscored 44-10
Had they won and been #4 facing Georgia, it would have looked like the old team that coach had against LSU, Bama... would have got steamrolled.
SOONER!---BOOMER ...
I liked it a lot better when usc was 4-8. I'm in favor of usc 0-11. I can dream, I suppose.Trojans went from 4-8 to 11-2, I’d say the season was a success.
Haha why all the hate? Who you rooting for? I’m an Oregon State Beaver fan.I liked it a lot better when usc was 4-8. I'm in favor of usc 0-11. I can dream, I suppose.

I’d say worse fans for myself are Oregon fans hands down. I’ve been to home games at Oklahoma and Oregon, it’s like going to a different planet difference between the two.Worst fans and alumni I have ever encountered throughout 30 years of attending major college football games and bowls are USC and Texas fans. Texas is to be expected for me because they are the Sooners biggest rival but USC fans are real douchebags even when your teams paths haven't crossed in 20 years.
Best fans in the world? Nebraska. Hands down. Just really good FOOTBALL fans that just want to see a good game and legitimately see the best team win. How I wish they would return to the elite status.
A couple of those teams have to take care of business first. TCU's in a slugfest right now.Georgia, Michigan, TCU...........Who will be the 4th seed now for the college football playoff? Ohio State? Alabama? Tennessee?
Yep, I’m watching TCU now in a dogfight.A couple of those teams have to take care of business first. TCU's in a slugfest right now.
Thats a REALLY good question now, isn't it?Georgia, Michigan, TCU...........Who will be the 4th seed now for the college football playoff? Ohio State? Alabama? Tennessee?
Only 11-2 because of two words. Caleb Williams.Trojans went from 4-8 to 11-2, I’d say the season was a success.
Spot on with your assessment. As an Oklahoman and a Sooner fan I was heartbroken when I heard Stincoln Riley was leaving. I grew up about 30-45 minutes from the campus of OU and had season tickets as a 20 year old when Stoops took them to the promised land in the year 2000 with a 13-0 season. Since then they had amassed the best home record of all time, multiple Heisman winners, many NFL players developed.
Our beloved Quarterback Whisperer had betrayed us. Then the rumors started coming out as to why. First it was infidelity. He was porking a hot little student assistant and his wife reportedly gave him an ultimatum to move from OU or she would, from him.
Another rumor was that USC paid off his two houses in Oklahoma, gave him a mansion in LA, and gave him an insane amount of money. This is true but was money the sole reason? Was the marital problem fixable with more money and a fresh start?
Then the real reason surfaced. The move to the Southeast Conference. Riley's plan going forward at OU was not defense focused. He was going to do what he had always relied on, throwing the ball to beat defenses and ignoring a defense that could stop scoring. The OU brass which include Bob Stoops, a defense first guy, hated this philosophy. They had grown tired of dominating the defense week Big XII with this philosophy only to go to bowl games and get beat by SEC teams. All of Riley's proposals for strengthening the program were shot down. This upset Riley to the point of leaving. To the credit of the OU Athletic Department they simply starved him out. That was the plan. Get with Defense First or not get your wishlist.
OU decided to hire Brett Venables away from Clemson but he was someone they already knew. Venables was with Stoops as a defensive assistant when Stoops was DC under Bill Snyder at K-State. Venables then came to Oklahoma to be DC under Bob Stoops. Even before OU landed on Brett Venables they had already started accepting bids to build out an SEC caliber training and player development complex. The Sooners are going to go into the SEC with a Defense First philosophy and that would not have happened with Stincoln Riley. He had to go. Whatever the reason for him leaving it is for the better and was part of the OU plan all along.
It really did hurt that Stincoln Riley took a lot of top players with him, not so much Alex Grinch the DC though. The player theft hurt us to the magnitude of 2 years worth of recruiting. In the end, we're better off. It was expected that the Sooners would have a down year. Truth be told, it's been a horrendous year. Losing to Texas like that ...... that hurts worse than anything that has ever happened regarding OU in my life. Still, it's worth it to go to the SEC without Sticoln Riley.
Spot on Rob. Grinch ain’t ****. He was a bubblegum patch on a blowout that was Mike Stoops. Should be easy for teams to overcome SC’s D.
Look for some changes to come on the staff at OU. New facilities too. OU had to throw a program together that is very temporary but they got their guy in Venables. He’s the center piece. The coordinators weren’t the goal. We got who we got.
SEC caliber (aka NFL caliber) trading facilities will be ready around 2024. Recruiting has been strong.
I was hoping for a better year but I am okay with the situation. Trust the process, brother.
BTW, @crackedback , I am moving back to Oklahoma this month. Will be back to the ole homestead just 30 minutes from Norman and will be getting my season tickets back. Last time I had them was 2001 right before I left and joined the Navy. Would love to have you out for a game.
