True enough, we made TWIS...but OU is the headliner

By “it,” I mean losing games to double-digit underdogs, which the Sooners have now done in seven consecutive seasons. The latest installment: a 38-31 home loss to 31-point dog Iowa State on Saturday, the Cyclones’ first win against OU since 1990.
The Sooners tumbled from No. 3 in the AP Poll to 12th. They’ve gone from the inner circle of the Playoff picture to periphery. How’d Sooners fans take that?
You’re aware that Oklahoma’s head coach is now Lincoln Riley. It is not Bob Stoops, who stepped away last summer after two decades on the job. Every indication is that Stoops left because he’d had enough of being OU’s head coach and thought the time was right to hand the reins to Riley. But one poster has another idea.
Oklahoma’s defensive coordinator is Mike Stoops, Bob’s brother. The Sooners defense has been mediocre for a while now, carried along by a consistently great offense. Calls for Bob to fire Mike were frequent during Bob’s years as head coach.

We will not see the haters stop mentioning this until...... we beat both Michigan State and Ohio State.
Although getting back to winning ten games a season is most certainly not "past glory."

It's always by people who are fans of teams that have very little success compared to ours.

I see, and I guess ghostofhoke is a term of endearment?

Maybe it's that as a Michigan football fan for almost 40 years, I simply get over things like this a bit quicker than back in the day...I do think that things have become a bit...dramatic.

I thought the funniest thing I saw on here was when someone asked what makes Pep Hamilton special and MaizeandblueWahoo said "well his name is one letter away from pee, which it looks like he's done all over the playbook". That had me dying.

It's funny because it's me.

We didn't even win TWIS.
I was hanging in there, but now I'm depressed.
October 9th, 2017 at 8:02 PM ^
not that I WANT to win TWIS, mind you...
October 9th, 2017 at 8:30 PM ^
Man, after reading this board, well, a good part of it, I thought for sure we would have won TWIS in a blowout! I mean, throw in MLive, Detnews, and Freep... OU must have some seriously distraught peeps hanging on!!
