We look like a JV team compared to OSU. When is the last time we had a defense that actually was consistent?

Another huge game and another embarrassing performance by the Sooners. Not going to lie it is what I expected.

Defense is beyond pathetic. I hate to say it, but my belief is this game is a wrap because we already know we do t make half time adjustments.

don't have any confidence in the coaching staff or players, can we at least put two of the best running backs in the country in the backfield all the time? and maybe someone who will hand it to them! defense...... have know idea!!!!

This defense may be the worst one in the Stoops' era.
OU could score 40 points tonight and still lose by 3-4 touchdowns.

That was a great catch but...

We are just poorly coached on defense, with a bad scheme and no aggression.
Maybe Mike makes quality second half adjustments with the defense. Just to get them in alignment sync for a change would be a successful adjustment in and of itself.

Lets recruit some secondary. And its time to break up the brothers. The blue print to success is obvious against the Sooners. Clog up the middle because they only run downhill. Throw throw throw..cause they cant defend defend defend.

Helluva catch by the way Quick was super tight in coverage.

Lets hope the coaches can get this team fired up and we come out and come back and run them off the field so they can cry all the way home.

I bet all of you guys that there will be someone come on the board tomorrow or Monday and explain how all this happened during the first half. And it won't have much of anything to do with the coaching. Mark my words. Our players just aren't very good.

OU just is not very good this year and I believe that while there are 8-10 very good players, there are too many players that lack experience and lack elite talent.
There will be a winning record and bowl berth, but this team....,this year.....is just a typical Big 12 team.

One of these things is not like the others.........

1. Baltimora
2. Kajagoogoo
3. The Stoops Brothers
4. A bag of sand.

Hint: One of them is NOT a one-hit wonder.

Bash away at me I have finally said it, time for some new direction for the program. Thanks Bob, sort of thanks Mike, no thanks Riley. Time for a change. I have never felt that so much as I have the past few yers but I do believe it is time.

.... I guess its the Motel 6 Cactus Bowl for us. That is is we are even bowl eligible at the end of the season.
