I personally cant wait to see what this does to the vastly over inflated number 3 ranking, I would be surprised if OU will be ranked at all.

you guys already made the first page of espn 2 minutes after the game

ESPN: The Worldwide Leader In Sports (http://espn.go.com/)

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- Just as Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops predicated, the third-ranked Sooners couldn't run it up on Colorado. In fact, the Sooners couldn't even beat the Buffaloes.

Kevin Eberhart kicked a career-long 45-yard field goal as time expired to send Colorado past the stunned Sooners 27-24 Saturday.

It was the Buffaloes' first win over a top-five team since Dec. 1, 2001, when they bested Texas in the Big 12 title game.

After Eberhart's kick cleared the crossbar, the fans stormed the field as the dejected Sooners, who had blown a 24-7 second-half lead, walked off, their hopes of a national championship having taken a major hit.

The Sooners (4-1, 0-1) came in averaging a whopping 61.5 points to lead the nation. But behind a tough defense, the Buffs (3-2, 1-0) earned their biggest win under Dan Hawkins, who went 2-10 in his inaugural season last year.

I prefer to believe that Colorado was underrated instead :bow:

Really had no idea rugbypoke would be on here 30 seconds after the game

Discuss...Yet another lame attempt to fan the flames

As for the game...Looks like the Big XII north is getting tired of being laughed at...Colo and K-State is up 10 at Texas

Will make for a much more interesting conference if they can keep this up

Aren't you insulting all OU fans? There's no need to be a jerk. I don't even get what your angle is. Sore loser? No, your team didn't get beat by OU. Sore winner? No, your team didn't beat OU. You're only posting this thread to brag about how much you hate OU and this thread's entire purpose is to be disruptive.

Okay. We get it. You don't like them. Give it a rest already.

Colorado played great ball, OU didn't. It happens. Nobody is undefeated.

Okay, who abducted my Sooners and left the shell of a football team in it's place?! Bottom line: Colorado looked like they came to play today and the Sooners didn't.

I'm having a tough time this year with my football picks. There's a lot of underdogs playing above thier level. Come on...South Florida over West Virginia? CU over OU? Nebraska barely getting a win from Ball State last week? Oh well, that's what make the season interesting.

BTW, I love how the haters come out of the woodwork after a loss. That's real class I tell ya. Nobody, not even RB predicted Colorado would win this.

No kidding. That place went NUTS after the game too. That was a huge win for them.

Our offense couldn't get a thing done today....Colo's offense was on the field all day and our defense just got worn down

In other words Colorado did what OU normally does to it's opponents

Doesn't seem fair when you are on the other side of it :ou2

-Im making a thread about OU being overrated and that was validated this afternoon
-I havent, i havent insulted anyone and i dont intend to - but you did insult me.
-It is not, its to discuss OU being overrated.

If you like i will make another thread in a hour or so about texas being overrated as well..

Your thread would have been much more potent if you would have started it BEFORE the game instead of after

I think that all favored teams that lose for the rest of the year were overrated...Pretty powerful stuff

It was ridiculous to think after the first 4 games of the season that OU belonged in the top 5

They really hadn't shown anything in the previous 4

They really hadn't shown anything in the previous 4

With the exception of miami that is very true, they were playing highschool teams.


IS ANYONE WATCHING THIS TEXAS GAME?!

I am now...kind of makes me feel a little better.

I am now...kind of makes me feel a little better.

Texas is literally getting there butts handed to them, i doubt that they will be in the top 25 after this game - its turning into a blow out.

Well, it wouldn't be the first blow-out of the season, that's for sure. Pre-season rankings should just be thrown out the window. No one can tell how a team is going to be by looking at pre-season practices and whatnot.

Win or lose, overrated or not, OU is still my team! BOOMER SOONER!! Now, let's see if Rhett Bomar can redeem himself, and whoop up on OSU!

Just shows you how ridiculous preseason rankings are and how bad the Big XII is.

I question whether the Big XII is actually deserving of its BCS bid.

This should make for a pretty interesting RR shootout.

I've thought texas has looked shaky all season and after todays game im positive of it. With OU they have a really strong offense but the defense lacks against semi-competent teams.

It's still early in the season. OU did what I worried would happen at least once this season. They looked like they had a redshirt freshman quarterback, and they didn't play well. That's happened in other good years and we managed to barely pull out a win, rather than lose by three. Several factors contributed: perhaps overlooking Colorado with Texas next week, the altitude and conservative play calling after Bradford threw the interception. I honestly do not know why Bob Stoops downplayed the altitude. If you blow out the opponent, and can rest your first team in the second half, the altitude may not matter. But, as a long time skier, I can tell you that I got altitude sickness the first day of skiing every time we went (two to three times a years for 25 years). Exercise worsens it, and the only cure is going down to a lower altitude. You feel like you have the flu, no energy and have shortness of breath. There are drugs to help, like diamox, but they're not a cure. I heard Bud Wilkinson used to take the team to Colorado on Wednesday, back in the days when school really didn't matter, and I think he was smart. So, in a game when you have to play hard for four quarters, and the other team, by virtue of living there, probably has a hematocrit 3 to 5 grams higher than yours (equivalent to taking Procrit like the cyclists are not allowed to do), you are not going to be able to call forth the extra oomph you need to make a difference. But, the coaches need to play to win, not play to not lose. As far as overrated goes, you won't really know until the season is over, and until then it's just guessing. It's not OU's fault that the sportswriters rank them where they do. Remember too, Florida lost to Auburn about this time last year. It's way to early to call anyone over or underrated.

Win or lose, overrated or not, OU is still my team! BOOMER SOONER!! Now, let's see if Rhett Bomar can redeem himself, and whoop up on OSU!

Or get the ever-livin' crap knocked out of him by Donvan Woods.

COACH: "And who are you?"

QB: "I'm Batman!"

what an amazing day for football, what was the final count that 5 of the top 10 schools got beat....

this is why i love to watch college football compaired to pro.

Unfortunately, MadMonk, he didn't just come out of the woodwork after the loss. He's always a hater and always out of the woodwork.

WOW what a crazy day #3,4,5,7 and 10 lose in one day.

Problem is that your posts/threads start out insulting.

I haven’t insulted anyone - read my actual post. I had a opinion that ou was over ranked, im allowed to have that opinion just like another member is allowed to have his opinion about OSU getting 'whooped up on' -


Now, let's see if Rhett Bomar can redeem himself, and whoop up on OSU!

But to you pugalicious please leave your personal thoughts on me to yourself and keep this discussion to football only.

Is that being "polite"? Is that not "rudeness"? Is that not a "personal attack" on the other posters in this thread?

Look at the picture, it is infact a picture of a OU player throwing a fit and crying after the game - i am keeping all of my comments directed to the game that ou lost to CU, i recommend you doing the same.

The picture wasn't showing up when you originally posted so there was, in fact, no reference other than the previous posts.

Did you not listen to Mike Gundy's irrational tirade last week? It's not nice to pick on collegiate players. "It's garbage!" And it's insulting and intentionally inflammatory.

If you would like to discuss Gundys victory Win last week followed up by his Heroic display of Leadership, I recommend you going into the OSU thread about the subject - please do not try to highjack my thread(rule 13 in TOS).

I wasn't hijacking "your" thread because, although there was an allusion to an event that occurred last week, your cited thread is not the only place it can be referenced and my reference was directly related to your picture which casts aspersions on a collegiate player, something Mike Gundy chastised in "his heroic display of leadership."

While your quoting TOS, try this one for size: "Flame baiting is not allowed. What is 'flame baiting'? It means posting a topic or something with the intention of triggering a flame war, or one that invites flames in reply. It's equivalent to inviting someone to troll." With your history, it is well known that it was your intention to bait OU fans.

Is OU overrated? It's still too early to tell. One game, in which they lost by 3 points, is hardly solid evidence that the team was overrated. It certainly wasn't as indicting as a 41-23 loss to Troy.

OU played poorly. Colorado played well. OU has looked good in the previous four games, albeit to less than stellar opponents. Was a No. 3 ranking justified? Apparently to sportswriters and coaches who actually know something about football, they felt it was. Will there be an adjustment downward in this week's poll? Most likely and justifiably so.

To have an OSU homer try to tell others that OU is overrated is akin to Baghdad Bob's handicapping of the Iraq War.

This thread is about ou being overrated, it is not flame baiting because it was created for the whole purpose of discussing how ou was overrated. If i went into a thread about an ou victory(like the previous weeks against tu) and started saying that they were overrated that would be flame baiting.

If you would not like to discuss ou being overrated with me please leave my thread, because you infact are flamebaiting.

If you will actually read my post, which you always are telling other people to do, I discussed OU being overrated.

Perhaps if the headline was "Is OU overrated?" the response would have been different. But you made a declarative statement, "OU = Overrated". That was flamebaiting.

The thread started out derailed.

Back on subject - what number does everyone think ou will be ranked come monday?

I think a more realistic number would be around 20, but i see the actual ranking going to 12 or 13.

Nah, they'll be ranked number 10 at least. With Florida, West Virginia, Texas and Rutgers losing along with OU, the polls won't make such a dramatic change to their beloved higher-rated folks. After all, it is only one loss.

I see the top ten like this (but hey, who am I?):

1. LSU
2. USC
3. California
4. Ohio State
5. Wisconsin
6. Kentucky
7. Boston College
8. Florida
9. West Virginia
10. Oklahoma

That's my prediction. What about yours?

That's a reasonable list. Here's how I'd rank them.

1. LSU
2. USC
3. California
4. Wisconsin
5. Florida
6. Ohio State
7. Kentucky
8. Boston College
9. Oklahoma
10. Georgia

9. Oklahoma
10. Georgia

I'm just glad to see that you feel the same way I do about USC... however, I believe the lovefest for Ohio State will never stop, thus their superior ranking in my 'poll'.

no need to wait til monday... the polls are already out.

ap
1. lsu
2. usc
3 california
4. ohio st.
5. wisconsin
6. s. florida
7. boston coll.
8. kentucky
9. florida
10. ou

2. lsu
3. california
4. ohio st.
5. wisconsin
6. boston coll.
7. florida
8. kentucky
9. south florida
10. ou

...and for the official record, the original tone of this thread could be considered flame baiting. it's obvious that the title 'ou=overrated' would enflame some users and it was designed to do that. you know better. tread lightly.

-M

Interesting that AP puts LSU above USC. OU is right about where they should be. The loss was an upset, but I don't think it warranted a major drop in the polls.

I figure since people can post pictures/video about gundy in the other thread and poke fun at him...

Heres a good picture of bob stoops, he looks like a big little kid throwing a fit. By the way all these photos are on espn on the first page if you would like your own copies. I think this one should be titled 'bob stoops is mad at me'!

I noticed some people posted some spoofs of Gundy in the other thread....

I personally think these two images look near the same, i think they might be related.

I don't even like football and could care less about it.

But, I do think you would have a lot to talk about with your fellow fans and find some people that share the same philosophies ..... so you might want to go check it out.

But what I do care about is this board and disruptions to this board.
