Missouri over Northwestern

Okie Lite over Oregon (This game will be a shoot-out)

Kansas over Minnesota

Nebraska over Clemson (I've flip-flopped on this game twice)

Texas Tech over Ole Miss

Texas over Ohio State

[Bigworm]

Well said my friend

[Trashman]

:clap: :iagree: :clap:

[Diocletian]

I agree with 6-1

Only the one loss coming from a great QB Snead from Ole Miss, I have them upsetting Tech big time.

Tech's defense will be all over Cut-N-Run, he won't be able to stay in the pocket long enough to complete a good pass.:D

whoops northwestern.

[skins4life]

The Mizzou defense better step up or they're going to get a whuppin'.

But one of them is bound to win this year though. Of course at the same time one of them is bound to lose. :)

Your pick wouldn't be due to the fact that OU is in the NC and not ut would it?

What does that have to do with OU's performance in BCS bowls over the last few years?

Like it or not, the Big Game Bob nickname has become a joke more than anything else


OU now faces the question that chased Mack Brown around

Can they win in big games when oppnent's talent and coaching is as good as OU

and the three years prior to that 01,02,03 were all wins, ut is just over .500 in bowls, it not like they have much to brag about! Win 3 more NC's and we can talk about it. I guess a 26-24 win over Iowa in a non BCS bowl is some type of great accomplishment! At least ut made a BCS bowl this year :clap:

wow..sad when you can only try to find away to run down UT

I have not said one bad thing about OU or Stoops, Just pointing out the perception and the records

I dont even think it is fair to label Stoops unable to win the big game, just like it was unfair to label Brown the same way

as far as looking at the "tattered pic"

Well until u win it, the pic u have is all the way back in 2000..when Stoops won with a core of John Blake players

Likewise, you response to him drew a counter-claim. nothing wrong with that. I want OU to win to hopefully create a situation where UT can share the national title by claiming the AP, then again, that could happen with UF winning also. Something tells me if OU loses again, they will get the same label Ohio St gets.

Just pointing out the facts!! Truth hurts sometimes. Until they win a big game again maybe they will finally lose that moniker. But has anyone notice, that since UT has come back to the National scene that the percentage of Texas HS football players on OU teams has shrunk. When OU won their last NC in 2000. We can agree that 90% of the players were from Texas. While now today, it has shrunk to around 75-80 percent!!! I think we can give credit not only to Mack & Texas but also Leach & Texas Tech. So wanna win again,get more Texas HS football players!!!

A couple of observations:

1. This is a TEXAS high school board. I can certainly understand why one would not find many Oklahoma fans.

2. Many OU players come from Texas. Some Texans feel this is theft and betrayal. Probably exaggerated, but that is the perception.

3. Not all posters went to UT. I did not, but I am still not a fan of OU, even though they represent The Big XII in the NC game. No great fan of UT, but I wish them well.

These observations were true before the embarassing loss by my alma mater to OU. Has nothing to do with short term memories.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Hmmm...

I am good UT Fan.

I always love to see UT beat 0U.

I will be pulling for 0U in the NC. Why? Cause I do want to see the Big12 roll all the other conferences and demonstrate where the best Football is played. Cause I am tired of hearing about the SEC. (And Cause Texas already beat 0U... Why not lay a claim to the NC based upon that? ;) )

[I. B. Watching]

I am just pleased that OU has been able to put itself in a position to play for so many national titles. Winning a few more would be great, no doubt, but I would much rather have had the opportunity to compete for them than not. Having won seven, and having had a chance to win a few more has given me plenty to cheer about over the years. Lots of other schools would love to have an opportunity to be in the title hunt so often.

[Dieselsmoke]

No matter what forum you pick, it is always brought up that OU has an abundance of players from Texas. Texas high school football put out more collegiate players than any other state. The number of players are far more than the University of Texas can absorb. That and the depth of blue chip players on the UT roster effect the decision made by those high school players. With OU being the closest school to UT (with the exception of LSU for the southern part of the state) that offers the best chance of TV time and a hope for a NC. Considering that Oklahoma doesn't play high school football at the same level and depth that Texas does, yes they do produce D-1 players but not the number that Texas does. Do you really think that the number of Texas kids playing at OU is questionable. It is close enough for family to go watch, they have an outstanding program, not every kid is in love with UT. You can find Texas kids on just about every level of college ball from Juco to National ranked teams, not just OU. We had a kid in our home town that was a top high school prospect, All-State, Army All-Star game, Rival's top 10 in his position, and never wanted to go anywhere except OU. :D

I would think wins over Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Missouri this year were big games. In 2000, 90 percent of the players were not from Texas. Not among starters either. At that time, we actually felt OU was not recruiting Texas hard enough. There were some key ones from Texas, thank goodness, but there were many key ones from Oklahoma and other states.

Let me say first, at the expense of repeating myself, UT is not the only University in the state of Texas. I chose to attend a university other than UT and have never regretted it.

Next, I never even hinted in my post that "the number of Texas kids playing at OU is questionable" so where did that arrow come from?

Nor did I say anywhere that if an athlete can get a better education, better scholarship, play in a more competitive program, or any other of many reasons, that he/she should not go out of state to play ball.

Matter of fact, I stated that "some" people dislike OU taking quality players from Texas (state of, not University of). I never said I was one of them. I wish the great players would go to TT, but I don't begrudge them picking somewhere other than Lubbock.

UT as well as OU fans get all sensitive and defensive if anyone ever states anything that can be construed as negative toward their school, true or not.

Please reread my original post , especially point number 2, and see where I disparaged any person or school and I will be the first to apologize.

You are crazy and it showed last night with Northwestern and Missouri Big 12 is good but way overrated

[WTF-82]

OU has dominated the Big 12 last 8 years 1 for the Vince Young Horns and Kstate the other. Problem is they go to tough BCS games and get rocked. All the other Big 12 schools get nice little matchups look at Texas last year against ASU the sun devils were terrible. I dont think OU chockes in big game just that everyone plays them great some tough games they have been in. Boise St game well that one Boise just made some incredible plays to pull that one off. Everyone just needs to take a second look at the Big 12. Norhwestern showed last night everyone was saying that the Big 10 was not even the same league and they put it on Zuri yes Missouri won the game but was against a team that struggled against 3 win Michigan.

Crazy? I think not. So far ILS1 is 1 for 1 and I think his perdictions will go 7 for 7. OU does choke in bowl games. Don't give me this crap about tough games versus nice little matchups. The facts are the facts -- OU can't win a bowl game. And btw -- they ain't gone win this next one either. Me thinks the Gator defense is going to pummel Bradford (here's hoping they do anyway).

[ILS1]

I think is more of the fact that Northwestern came to play and Missouri was flat. They lost a close one to Kansas in a rivalry shootout in the season finale. Then they got blown out by OU in the Big XII Championship. It takes time to get things back together!!!

Gator fan or non OU fan?

I went to OU, as long as OU is not playing ut I pull for the Longhorns. The more Big XII teams win against non-conference teams especially in bowl games, the more credibility the conference gains. If Florida's defense is so dominate, I guess your glad you have Ohio instead of the Gators. Ya know match-ups mean so little. :D

They won't have to, if the OU defense is unable to get Tebow off the field then Bradford isn't much of a weapon. Both offenses are great, but Florida's Defense is worlds better than Oklahomas.

The Gators will chomp the Sooners. I am a huge Horns fan and I will be rooting for the Sooners next week, but I just don't see the OU defense doing anything to stop Tebow.

In high school Sulphur Springs was much the same, not a great defense...........but what an offense. Hope this goes the same, OU gets a couple of stops and just outscores Florida.

I think not. Oregon just put it on the OSU Cowboys if not for a great first qtr for the Cowboys this game could of got nasty 11 point win by Oregon against mighty Big 12 south team that only lost by 4pts to Texas. Lets see what happens tommorow with Kansas but right now Big 12 was close to being 0-2 but Northwestern gave them a late Holiday gift.

[WTF-82]

Honestly I do think Kansas will win tommorow.

Minnesota is not playing good football. I think 3 win Michigan is a better team than they are in the Big 10.
Gophers are lucky to be in this game.

IMO Bowl games do not tell the true strength or weakness of any conferece

Alot depends on the mind sets of the teams in the bowls, some teams want to be at that certain bowl, others do not.

Plus with time played between the bowl game and last game of the season, I just dont think how conferences do in bowls really tells anythiing

Bud if you cant get up for a Bowl game you have problems. That was not the case Chase Daniel is a hard worker would never let this be a problem. And dont think the Head Coach would let that happen Northwestern made them flat. Northwestern just showed there stuff againt the Big 12 North Champ and the conference runner-up.

So do u think maybe this is OU problem not wanting to play in BCS games the last 2 years.

[bandera7]

Firstly, Ok St. dominated until they lost Dez Bryant. I know he came back but he wasnt himself. When they lost the best receiver in college football (call me crazy, I honestly think he is), the game shifted to Oregon.

As for the Florida-OU game. I feel like I am the only person in the country watching the Florida Gators really play. Tebow throws horrible passes, they arent spirals, they are off target, and his receivers make unbelievable catches to make him look good. And OU's defense is better than they are given credit for. Remember, they played in the conference with some of the top offenses in the nation. When your opposing teams game plan is to eat clock and keep the score low, its easy to hold them to a relatively small amount of yardage. When you play a spread with the best group of quarterbacks in the nation running the show, its hard to keep the other team under 300 yards.

[WTF-82]

Good job today by Nebraska

Big 12 North has done a good job. Nebraska and Missouri found ways to win Kansas was just better than there opponent.

Let see if the South teams can make a come back so far 0-1 with Oklahome St Loss. My pick next three Tech wins theres but UT and OU both lose close games.

Now you're CRAZY!!! I think the Tech/Ole Miss will be closer than people think. Remember, Ole Miss is the team that beat Florida. But Tech will pull it out. I truly believe Texas will blow out Ohio State. They are not as talented as they were 2 years. Their offense is weak,their only strong point is RB Beany Wells. Their defense is OVERRATED!!! USC beat them earlier in the year 35-3!!! They're young QB Pryor and will struggle against a great Texas D. In about 2 years he will be SCARY good!!! Colt McCoy will have a field day!! Oklahoma will put up points but the difference will be Florida's defense and special teams. Florida has speed in all aspects of their game!! Florida by 10!!!

I truly believe Texas will blow out Ohio State. They are not as talented as they were 2 years. Their offense is weak,their only strong point is RB Beany Wells. Their defense is OVERRATED!!! USC beat them earlier in the year 35-3!!! They're young QB Pryor and will struggle against a great Texas D. In about 2 years he will be SCARY good!!! Colt McCoy will have a field day!! Oklahoma will put up points but the difference will be Florida's defense and special teams. Florida has speed in all aspects of their game!! Florida by 10!!!
:D :D :D
Dood I only picked Tech to win because would not be good if Big 12 south goes 0-4 but I new this would probablly happen Ole Miss to spank Tech. UT has a chance if the young Pryor dont play well OU will lose.

USC looked really darn good yesterday. Texas is good, but are a bit overrated. Can hang with just about anyone, but they're not on par with OU, Florida or USC... at least not this year. Heck, I only saw the last half of the game against Tech, but I didn't even think they were as good as Tech.

Speaking of Tech, dang Ole Miss looks scary.

So I guess Texas beating OU by 10 shows they cannot hang with them?

I said that they can hang with anyone. They just didn't look as good as OU. And Tech dominated them, the Raiders just kept shooting themselves in the foot.

Next year is UT's year, especially if Colt comes back. That kid has more guts than a Soldier Field tailgate.

I am sorry

but if u beat a team by 10 points, you did more than "hang" with them...u showed you can beat them

[big daddy russ]

PS: I'm also a firm believer that the best team doesn't always win, and that sometimes great teams just have off-games... which is why I'm still convinced that Tech was the second-best team in the Big XII. The snowball effect happens quite a bit in college football. Just look at the 2003 Oklahoma Sooners.

Any team can beat any other team any given week. I saw some team named Appalachian State hang a big "L" on a top-ten I-A team last year. There's absolutely no reason a team as good as UT couldn't do it to anyone in football.

Bud if you cant get up for a Bowl game you have problems.

I dont think OU chockes in big game just that everyone plays them great some tough games they have been in. Boise St game well that one Boise just made some incredible plays to pull that one off.



Now, why wouldn't this be the same for Missouri and Tech?? I'm NOT just a UT homer like you've said but I'm a Big XII homer as well. I predicted that they would go 6-1!!! Now that has gone out the window, I'm hoping we can save a little face with the last 2 games.

The Loser:
Oklahoma (Choklahoma has lost their last 5 bowl games,make it 6. Talk about their offense all you want but their defense will be their Achilles heel against the Gators)

Until they win a big game again maybe they will finally lose that moniker.

I forgot to add that the last 7 Heisman winners are 1-6 in their bowl games!!!!

:D :D :D


Need I say more?? Well, I am disappointed that the Big XII went 4-3 in their bowl games. And all three losses coming at the hands of the Big XII South!!!


:D :D :D

Don't worry, ILS, it's all about the level of competition. The Big XII South ran with the big boys of the SEC while the north played against the Big Two plus eight (well, nine).

I hate to say it but Florida was the best team and they deserved it. I'm not sure if Texas would've done any better because the Gators wanted it more!!! The SEC got the better of the Big XII this year may we meet again next year with different results!!!
