This might seem absolutely crazy, but despite a lackluster win over TCU

I think when we went down to Waco we beat the team that can beat anyone else in the country on their own field.

I think the voters know that. What we did in Waco was really really impressive, and it could have been a blowout.

Have to give it to you on this one Plaino. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to see us at #3 after we struggled against TCU.

Sooner Mike......what you don't understand is that this is not a competition among sooner fans. Nobody is mad because we are at #3. Now go back to bed and dream about me some more
Well said my man. Some on here can't wait to toot their horn and wave a victory banner when they are right about things. But they are also just as quick to dissappear when they are wrong.

Well, OUr boys did kinda make it look easy.

However, I would bet Baylor against anyone else in the country; Clemson, Ohio St, Notre Dame, Iowa, Mich St, Florida St.

Me too, even with their 3rd string QB...talk about sick depth.

We had one poster saying the Baylor game would be an easy victory lol
I know right!! The same poster said TCU was the team to beat in the conference and said to just watch TCU would beat OSU by at least 3 TDs. And something else about anyone who didn't understand that didn't understand football.

Gotcha Billy good one. Here's the difference I'm here to discuss this..... These guys aren't they both love drama.

Now as far as what I said....... OSU had been winning games on pure luck and a prayer leading up to the TCU game. They were giving up big chunks of yards to less talented teams, also had zero running game. Meanwhile TCU was standing on the gas. The they don't know football comment come after comments where made..... Example OSU will beat Tcu... But not even discuss why they thought so. Then in this very Thread here's another....... No way they make in the top 4..... With no explanation as to why. It was said to stir **** up. But you go a head and call me out all you want. Whatever makes you sleep better. So was it a stretch to think TCU would put to OSU? yeah OSU won. Texas beat OU strange game sometimes.

Drama? You are the one that brought this up today...not us. You would go absolutely bonkers if I brought up instances where I was right and others were wrong.

Anyone with half a brain knew Baylor in Waco would not be an easy game. Now we just need to take care of OSU and we are in. I feel we are 14 points better but being in stillwater is gonna be tough. Hey billy I got offered a ticket today for $150. My buddy bought 4 tickets and asked me. Your thoughts? Too high?

Mike, you can say the same about any and all comments you make as well. I called you out cuz you decided it was appropriate to call out other specific posters. Don't dish it out if you can't take it yourself.
If it seriously bothers you so much that certain posters can't discuss their opinions to satisfy your stringent requirements, then maybe head to a board that requires sports IQ tests to pass minimum knowledge requirements in order to post.

Happy Thanksgiving Billy, hope you have a great day. And no it doesn't bother me, probably wouldn't in person either. Just don't know why you didn't just say Soonermike said....I mean the board had no idea who you was referring to.

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving yesterday as well Mike. Meh guess I saw no point in naming specific names. It was more of making a point to yourself than anything else. A few in here know who in was referring to. And if others didn't know it wasn't overly important to me to tell them.

Is $150 a good or bad price for a ticket. I guess it depends on how bad you want to be there. All you need is some insulated coveralls for the weather. You need those anyway in case of emergencies in cold weather. I like tv nowadays but used to love being there especially when you win. I was at Texas A&M in 1999 and I'll never forget that game.

Excuse me it was 2000 at A&M when Marshall had the interception to keep the NC run going.

I figured you meant 2000. But attending the 1999 game in Norman was memorable too. The Sooner Football giant was awakening from it's slumber.

I cannot help but equate the importance of the Torrance Marshall play in the 2000 game to what Steven Parker did on that TCU two-point conversion attempt. BIG TIME season impacts on those plays.
