    lol. Sooners couldn't even win with a full house cheering them on.

        True, but at least the fans don't bail once the ticket prices exceed 45 bucks. No wonder you guys didn't get a conference invite.

          Like I said above, it turned out that the Cougars on the field represented a lot better than their fans did.
          I was there at the game. Whoever estimated 8-1 must be the same person that estimated the national debt would only get to 1 trillion.

          I will admit the Oklahoma fans were some of the very nicest fans around after getting beat. They weren't making up excuses, just admitting the better team won.

            Because seventy thousand is a crapload of fans to get to travel that far. Even the best teams aren't going to get 70k fans to pay airfare and lodging for a pre-season non-con game.

                Yes, I couldn't get my tickets from BYU so I had to get them from OU. Hopefully that will be the last time I ever will be counted as an OU fan.

                BTW, how the hell do I get myself off their spam list?

                    Babs, you must want to get DDD bad. I would have never, ever, thought of you as an "attendance" smack type.

                    I used to hate it over on CB when the Utes would beat us and fans on there would resort to "attendance" smack.

                      Austin Collie did not bail. To the contrary, he looked quite handsome.

                            I guess that has just gone right by me. I have always thought of her as sweet, caring and kind.

                                If you take generous portions of Gloria Allred, Chelsea Handler, and Pam Grier, mix vigorously with Martina Hingis at the height of her sassy dominant era, combine with multiple parts Bea Arthur (Maude, not Golden Girls) and Flo from Alice, and top off with a splash of Elvira, then you will know what I'm talking about.
