indeed. really disappointing performance from the sooners coaches. problem is stoops has lost his staff over the years where he had such success. it's a nice legacy (former stoops assistants are head coaches at AU, TT, KU, SDSU) but you could see the unimaginative playcalling take it's toll on OU.

what annoyed me most, however, is all this "david and goliath" talk. these stupid commentators think the disparity exists between these types of schools like it did back when they played. utter nonsense; this isn't barry switzer's sooners, and it's not the BSU of 20-years ago. to some extent, it was just fox trying to sell a product. but it helped give BSU an emotional edge. in a game that's probably 30% emotion, 30% talent, 30% coaching, that's a huge edge.

call me a bad fan, but to be honest, i kind of thought OU was going to lose. this was obviously the biggest game in BSUs history, and OU really hasn't been that great this year. if colt mccoy hadn't gotten injured, UT would have won the big-12.

even still, the OU players showed great fortitude getting back into the game and nearly winning it. and it took some drawn-up-in-the-dirt antics from BSU to pull off the win. if OU had had better coaching/playcalling, they'd have won.

things aren't looking good for next year though. peterson will be gone, rookie QB, alexander will be gone, probably latimer too.. yikes. maybe A&M can finally pull out a.. tie?
