HaHaHa… he has lost 3 of 4 to Texas and hasn’t won in Lubbock since 2003. He is Medimum game Bob… Time for another exposure in the NC game…. haven’t we learned anything…

West Virginia was on a mission this year and would not be denied.

Last year, the Sooners had their weakest team in years and they overachieved to get to the Fiesta Bowl, where Boise State blindsided them. Notice how Georgia learned from that game and was well prepared for Hawaii this year.

USC destroyed them, but I keep hearing that the team was divided by racial issues prior to that game.

LSU beat them because USC should have been playing LSU in the title game, had it not been for the BCS computers (which is another topic for another day).

If Bob Stoops cannot win the big one, how come he has consistently beat Texas, their most important rival, and a top ten team throughout Stoops’ tenure at OU?

Look, his 2000 National Championship team had offense coordinator Leach and Mike Stoops on defense. Mangino was here too…all are gone.

We only scored 13 points in that game.

So, what is Bob’s problem?

Easy. He believes that his players need to be emotionally level headed at all times – that is not to high and not to low. Kind of robotic and mature.

Now, I understand this theory can work during the regular season but in the last game of the year – why not go ahead and give a big speech and let kids get UP for a big game.

Sure didn’t seem to hurt West Virgina getting excited.

Also worked well or Barry Switzer too.

A bad team on an emotional high will beat a great team just going through the motions any day.
