🏈 Well, s***

What a day yesterday. We had one hell of a tailgate yesterday. Great weather, killed 2 bottles of Don Julio, tons of great food and great friends. Then the storms rolled in, delayed the game, and I had to race back to the tailgate from the stadium to help those who stayed there to watch the game get everything packed up before it blew away. Canopies, tables, a big damn tv, a generator, and a gazillion chairs almost blew across Norman. Funny, when I got back to the tailgate people were holding everything down. Why weren't they packing it up?? I have no idea. But I got 'em going and saved everything. Yeah, that was a blast. :dazed:

I told you guys I wasn't too sure about my Sooners. Just didn't think they'd play like that at home. However, I had a feeling at the beginning of this season that we might lose one at home just cause it gets mentally tougher as the streak grows. 39 in a row at home, odds grow in favor of losing at some point. I could point out so much that was WAY wrong about OU last night, but it wouldn't do any of us any good. I was hoping to meet some of you in New Orleans, but thats all done now.

Good luck Tide fans, I'll be pulling for you guys along with quite a few of my Sooner brethren. That wasn't a "goodbye", just kind of a goodbye to the hope of OU and Alabama in NO. :biggrin:

OU looked out of sync all night. K state aint gonna be easy either. It'll be interesting to see how they respond.

They darn near made an amazing comeback. If State continues to win and y'all win and clean their clock, who knows what could happen?

A November 5 rematch would be more likely...

Every once in a while things like that happen.

When Bear Bryant was coaching Alabama, they won 28 in a row at one point. They won the NC in 1978 and 1979. But the streak ended when they lost 6-3 to Mississippi State. You never can tell what will happen on a given day.

Tommy Tuberville deserves a lot of credit. His Auburn teams were almost always tough to beat, and they did quite well against Top Ten teams.

Best of luck the rest of the way for your Sooners.

This OU team is a mystery. The fsu and texass games it looked like the team was all kinds of fired up, played with some meanness, sure tackled, hit hard, etc. But the missouri, kansas, and tech games they really looked like they just didn't care. Almost like they were bored because the game was supposed to be a blow out by OU. I really thought after the missouri game and that close call they would wake up and really bring it every week, but i guess not. It happens. No team will win them all. I think even if OU runs the table and beats a #2 ranked osu on the road, it won't be enough for OU to get there. It might, but who knows. I think the loser of lsu-bama runs the table they would rank higher than OU after all that.

The realist in me says it won't matter because OU will lose another game, maybe 2. Streaks are made to be broken. OU is 20-0 against Baylor all time. Baylor has its best team ever this year so that is possible being in Waco. osu just looks like they have things figured out. We'll see. I'll be cheering like a mad man like I always do!
