Did you know OU was something like 194-0 when leading by 21 at half?This defense almost gave up over a 100 year old record. Wow is that sad ,my goodness they better make defensive recruiting a priority. I keep beating it up but dang.

Confidence is lowered on us covering the spread rest of the games. We seem to be in some kind of a second half funk. Coaches seem to really not adjust to the other team’s adjustments. It cost us one game and nearly the second.

This team has me drinking heavily. I may have liver failure before this season is over

Somebody (Lincoln Riley) should get this message across to the team. “Baylor isn’t looking to upset OU. They intend to kick some Sooner ***.” We need to dominate Baylor in front of their home crowd. Boomer!

11am beer chugging leaves me in bad shape rest of weekend. Luckily 2 night games snapped the skid. But just when we thought we turned the corner...this defensive deficiency rares up and kicks us in the forehead. Rough times.

So, I'm watching the game in my apartment down here in Mexico and my neighbor comes over and and says, "Why are you yelling mi amigo? It's not soccer."

I have 2 bottles of wine sitting in the fridge and this weekend I plan to drink a glass for every TD our D gives up. Does anyone think 2 bottles is enough or should I buy 2 more?

This might cover it.

It wouldn't have been totally on the defense. With a Heisman candidate at quarterback, and perhaps the Biletnikoff favorite at receiver, the offense scored seven points after halftime.

You are safe. Baylor is not an offensive juggernaut. A good game plan for us should be clock management and NOT quick scores. We are evolving and not in a good way. A more conservative game plan should work for us to come out with a big W. Oh and did I mention...cover the TE with a smothering blanket !!

I am not sure the D knows where the TE is lately. Seems to be wide open on every play.

I understand that however as a defense sometimes you have to bow up and make a stop. Neither side of the ball helped the other. This is a weird year for this team. I cannot figure them out.

OU's mysterious offensive disappearance in the second half proved problematic for sure....but shouldn't 42 points be enough to win a game ? The defense was pathetic. The Iowa State QB had all the time in the world to throw, which makes any secondary vulnerable. I blame the entire defense for this two-game meltdown.

It’s a pretty good bet that our second unit isn’t going to get much game experience this season. That has to suck for everyone including the fans.

Grinch better get the green light to play anyone (including the cheerleaders) if they can make a tackle this week and beyond
