2008???....WHOA!!!...that was clearly a tainted trip to the natty( forget the prison rape score where the OU guy begged USC to back off)...That was a stolen Big 12 championship by any objective manner. Art Bryles delivered that to Stoops by voting Texas out of the top 25....shameful!
I have no beef with the rest of your statement. I dont like it, but I have no beef.
It may be tainted to you, but it still happened within the rules, nobody cheated. All tx had to do was not lose to tech and it wouldnt have been a problem. OU beat them by 44 points, shouldnt have been that difficult to win by 1. But no, you had to lose and IMO it cost them a national title. It's hard to come back from a November loss. But look at the bright side, all the whining got the rules changed but ironically the new playoff system neutered that. Ah Briles, he really was an angel before he started recruiting rapists eh? That may have been the one last great thing he ever did.
Yeah Ou has "dominated" the Bigxii.....tell us again how many National Championships all this "dominating" has got yall? Hell I think Boise St has "dominated" their conference also.....and they only have one less National Championship to show for it.
I Know....I know....conference championships are nice but it has to be just a little disappointing to know how "Dominant" ou has been......and have the exact same amount of National Championships that TEXAS has in this same time period. I could never get the "Big game Bob" moniker when his only Natty was his first year with a lot of "Big" losses in some BCS bowls.......(Boise st game.....USC the take it easy on us in the 3rd quarter game)
One national title and a bunch of conference championships. I'm good with that, It's still awesome being an OU fan, especially when you compare them to all the other programs in the conference. Look where recruiting is now compared to 1998. And there arent many programs with as much success as OU has enjoyed over the past 20 years. Even in spite of having "only" one title in that time. It's disappointing , sure, but i recognize it for what it is; OU doesnt recruit at a high enough level to win championships, but they recruit well enough to dominate their conference. Just how it is, they arent alabama or clemson, they dont get 5 stars at most positions. So when they get to the playoffs, they are playing more talented teams. Luckily Riley is a boss recruiter and is taking care of that. Tx fans should know how important recruiting is and stoops has been a big pile of dung in that dept for a little while now. I would be more concerned or disappointed as a tx fan because they consistently recruit and get the best talent in the country, they have done less with top 5 classes than anyone, that has to be disappointing. OU has been losing championships with top 15 classes, and Riley for the first time in my lifetime at least has OU with three top 10 classes in a row. What can he do with that kind of talent? So far he's been in the playoffs with half a team. That's not at least a little impressive? What's he gonna do when he gets talent on D? Cause it's happening. Remember the good ole days when tx didnt have to fight OU for top talent? Even with the shitshow over the past 2 seasons, herman is fighting tooth and nail for recruits on D (Washington for example).
Stoops earned that nickname early in his career, it was almost automatic for OU to beat a ranked team. But obviously that did not maintain.
You should compare trophy cases and big 12 rings. Conference championships are very important when you’re in the same conference. That’s some silly reasoning.
If you talk to texas fans, the big 12 championship isnt all that big of a deal. I guess that's why they didnt really care about losing in December, wasnt something they wanted obviously.
To be fair, he did win a chit-ton of games at a time when the b12 was very strong. Bowl games just weren't his strong suit. Remember all those shirts showing how to make OU cookies?
Put the sooners in a bowel & whip them for 48minutes.
I prefer- What does OU and weed have in common? They both get smoked in bowls.
Easy chief. Who pissed in your post toasties? Didn't deny that ou has dominated football in the b12 since 2000ish. Now you haven't dominated every year. We have the last 2 natty appearances and will likely have the next one. Need I remind you that you're a visitor here so don't be a turd or you may find yourself swirling the bowl.
Edit: OU played in nt in 2008.
Does your first sentence insinuate you believe my post was made out of some sort of anger or whatever? You said 2005 and 2009 say hello, i was just responding appropriately and in kind. I guess if OU only won two conference titles it wouldnt have looked like a long, protracted diatribe. Sure 2005 an 2009 happened, i never forgot, but my statement holds true. Yes is know the difference between dominating the conference for a 20 year period of time and dominating the conference every single season. The way things are trending now there is nothing to indicate tx is closer to a title than OU is- they cant even get out of their own conference.
