  1. Oh yeah, he gave the most passive aggressive interview ever. Smirking the whole way, he told the reporter something like, "They are a strong team, I would expect a strong team like them to score 14 points in a half, that's a strong number of points for such a strong team." He left unsaid what was written all over his face, that his own team had just put up 35 points in the same half, and he believed they were on the verge of blowing us out. The second half of that game sure was sweet.
  2. Absolutely. I remember being in the stadium during that game-- the atmosphere in the second half was absolutely electric. Haven't experienced anything quite like that since (although the first half of our game against Mizzou in 2008 comes close). Mack actually wrote 42-35 on the board in the locker room at halftime of the 2004 OkSt game. In a postgame interview, he said he regretted not giving his team more credit when he suggested they would only score 42.
  3. Not just the Big 12... that 2001 team could've won the national championship, but for that freak occurrence of a game against Colorado (who we had already annihilated 41-7 earlier that year).
  4. The 2004 team definitely had flashes of IT. But they were not 2005 caliber... at least not until the Michigan Rose Bowl game. We didn't just squeeze by Mizzou that year; we also played Arkansas in a very close and very loseable game in Fayetteville, and we needed a VY moment on 4th and 18 just to beat Kansas. Our 2005 squad would've blown the doors off each of those teams without a second thought.
  5. We were good in 2004 no doubt, but I actually think our 2001 team under Brown was better than 2004. VY and Colt make it easy to forget how stacked our early 2000s teams were. I rank our top 10 best teams under Brown in the following order: '05, '08, '09, '01, '04, '06, '02, '03, '07, '00
  6. The league changed. Game passed him by and he didn't adapt... complacency in his past success.
  7. I love how we didn't take our foot off the gas (at least initially) in the 3rd quarter. I remember Mack's halftime interview, when we had already amassed a 49-3 lead. He was asked about slowing down in the second half. He responded by saying something along the lines of we would not be slowing down just yet, it took a lot of work to get to this point and this game means a lot--we've been here before against this team and we are going to keep playing awhile longer to leave no doubt.
  8. That Big XII ccg... Colorado's only points came off a VY interception in our red zone. If he doesn't throw that pick, we probably win the game 77-0 or better. We scored 10 touchdowns on our first 11 possessions of that game. Just unreal.
  9. Living through 2005 and watching this team in real time was an absolute joy. I remember telling my bud, "We will never be this good again. This won't be our last championship, but we will never be this good again."

    NCAA week 8

    OU -7.5 against TCU seems like a good play this week. I have to imagine they come out angry and inspired to beat the shit out of a struggling Frogs team.
  11. I feel good about both OkSt and WVU. I think @lubbock is our highest likelihood of losing before the ccg.

    6-1

    With WVU’s loss yesterday, Texas will be favored in every remaining game of its regular season. This is unfortunate only in that Herman’s teams historically perform remarkably well as underdogs. Less so as favorites.

    6-1

    This right here. Bottom line is, fuck ou forever.

    WVU - ISU

    And as I said in another thread, fuck OU. And fuck them winning out. I hope they lose every game.
  15. Xcalibur

    6-1

    No, fuck OU. I hope they lose every game.

    WVU - ISU

    Not looking good at all for WVU. I was looking forward to them being undefeated when they rolled into Austin.
  17. This thread is jumping the gun. We have to get through BYE first. We won’t even have a quarterback this week. Scares you to death.
  18. Xcalibur

    6-1

    Don’t give a fuck if we looked like shit against Baylor. 6-1 bitches.
  19. Yes, keep running it. These fucks can’t stop us.
  20. I just want this abortion of a game to end before we lose our lead.
