Only 1 undefeated vs undefeated match up this weekend CAL at Utah. So for sure there will be 1 less undefeated team. I'm sure at least a couple other undefeated teams will lose. Northwestern is one I expect to fall from the undefeated ranks along with Oklahoma State. I don't think those will be upsets, but probably at least 1 other undefeated will stub it's toe in an upset.
If Florida and LSU take care of business this weekend then one of them will leave the ranks of the undefeated when they meet on the 17th. In any event I really do not expect an undefeated season from UF this year.
Terry, What's the Over/Under for the Red River Massacre? I'd guess 60 or so?? Surely Bob will call off the dogs when he hits 60... :wink:
.....with 3:14 left in the game and the ball on the Texas 23 yard line following that fumble recovery, Baker Mayfield sets up in the shotgun, 3 WR's right and the TE is split. Now the back goes in motion and there's the snap, Mayfield is rolling right and he finds his TE crossing, he slips the Texas DB and scores. That puts the Sooners up by 66. OK folks this is a little unusual but up by 66 Stoops is keeping his offense on the field and going for 2. Oh My! .... cut to commercial.
Sadly Bevo is apparently very ill and won't be making the trip for the game this weekend. I know the team is doing poorly, but I didn't think it'd make him sick! But seriously he's apparently truly very ill and they are very concerned for his health.
OU Fun Fact #10: The Oklahoma Catholic Diocese recently celebrated the cannonization of Saint Barry Switzer. The patron saint of NCAA Infractions and overall tomfoolery. OU Fun Fact #9: On April, 14th 1935, after days and nights of tireless work, Cletus J. Stoops had finally perfected a recipe of meth so pure it would leave even Walter White envious. While moving a tray of product from the shack where it was cooked to inside the house, Stoops tripped, sending the meth flying into a copper still of freshly made moonshine. This combination of alcohol, chemicals, incest and depravity actually ripped a hole in the fabric of space and time causing a quantum singularity (black hole) to pull all matter into nothingness. Within the hour, what we now know as the Great Oklahoma Dustbowl began to wreck havoc on rural Norman and later the entire state. Subsequently, this is where the universal constant, "Oklahoma sucks" got its start. OU Fun Fact #8: *disclaimer* 100%. Hand on the bible true. */disclaimer* The state of Oklahoma adopted the watermelon as their state vegetable. Which is a fruit. So, yeah. There's that. OU Fun Fact #7: 57% of Oklahoma's population believes that Mad Max: Furry Road was actually a documentary focusing on civil unrest in the state's northwestern region. OU Fun Fact #6: In the aftermath of an F4 tornado, workers removing debris from a razed Walmart (note: regular not super) discovered century old remains. In the coming months, excavations would determine that the Walmart was built on an old Kiowa Apache settlement. Further analysis of the site would reveal artifacts that would eventually change the translations and usage of the Kiowa language. The original translation of Oklahoma was thought to loosely mean "red people". However, based on this newly discovered evidence; xenolinguistics, cryptoarcheology, and contextual data are able to give us a more accurate translation - "The Factory of Sadness". OU Fun Fact #5: In 2003, notable OU alum and former Sooner football player Toby Keith wrote and recorded his top 10 country hit, "I Love This Bar". In this song, Keith details the various walks of life that frequent the local watering hole and how the thought of entering the establishment alone brings a smile to his face. Dismissed as a catchy yet uninspired country western track, recently leaked police records have uncovered the true creative basis behind the song. It would appear that one night in the late 90's, before the resurgence of his career but at the height of his depression and desperation, Keith found himself drunk 6 times above the legal limit. In response to a disturbance call, Clinton Oklahoma Police Department officials arrived at the Spit Shine Saloon to find the intoxicated singer trying to have intimate relations with the building. As he was hauled off to the county jail, the patrol car security footage recorded a sobbing Keith proclaim, "No! Please let me go! I LOVE THAT BAR!" the entire ride. OU Fun Fact #4: When Bob Stoops applied for the head coaching vacancy in 1999, an omission from his resume actually helped him land the job. OU Athletic Director Joe Castiglione, a brother of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, saw Stoops had listed "PKA Founding Father - University of Iowa" under personal achievements. Thinking he was doing a fellow fraternity brother a solid, he selected Stoops for the position. While Bob was never a member of a Greek organization, he did found a local chapter of Puppy Kickers Anonymous. Yes. Bob Stoops kicks puppies. Castiglione has yet to find out. OU Fun Fact #3: In response to the recent controversy where a statue displaying the 10 Commandments was removed from the Oklahoma capitol grounds in the middle of the night, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin (R) issued this statement; "Let's be honest. God abandoned our state several decades ago. Fair is fair.". more to come.
Surprising loss by USC to Washington last night. I didn't watch the game, I was hopping from the Texans to the Astros, but it seems like Sark called a stinker of a game last night. USC is loaded with talent. Cody Kessler entered the season as a Heisman candidate with some great recievers who were very fast to boot. I think that's pretty much done. Not surprising, Houston beat SMU at home last night. What was surprising is that 25K fans actually showed up to watch on a night the Astros and Texans were playing big games. Cougars are 5-0 and looking very strong. While it's unlikely they will go undefeated, it's certainly possible and the first step is to win the first 5 of course. But they still have Memphis and Navy, both of them at home though. They do play SEC Vanderbilt though at home as well. Road games are against weaker teams like Tulane, UCF and UConn. So it's certainly possible, but as with any undefeated season they will have to avoid critical injuries and get the ball to bounce their way a couple of times.
Block in the back not called on a Georgia return or this Tenn - Ga game is at 17-10. Hate to see such blatantly botched calls
Alabama wins another ugly one, our passing game is not good but our defense is developing into a very good unit. A win is a win, I guess, but we have A&M next week.
