Bedlam 2012

[rcjunkie]

The point is I don't think the FumBell is going to be as good a qb solution as OSU's Chelf/Walsh combo, with Lunt taking over after Chelf graduates. OSU should be the preseason favorites to win the conference, depending on who all leaves Manhattan.

This is what happens when you eat too much turkey.

What, because we have "tradition??"

I think Bell will do perfectly fine. It is going to come down to fixing up the O Line and Defense. O Line must block better and the D needs to learn how to stop the run and tackle in open space.

There was obviously more Notre Dame fans there at our stadium than Cowboy fans so dont even get started on why so many Cowboy fans were there, they barely filled up our visitors section.

[OKCJapan]

As a Cowboy fan, and as much as I do not want to, I will take my hat off to the Sooners for executing on that last drive to tie it up.

But it was unbelievable. With 7 minutes to go. OU does not convert on 4th down. Giving the ball to the OSU's offence. All they needed was a couple of first down to run alot of clock and essentially putting the game out of reach. I blame Gundy with his play calling on that drive.

[dankrutka]

Well good luck to a team that has a QB that throws it away everytime a WR is partially covered instead of giving him an opportunity to make a play, say, like the one Stills made to end the first half.

It was a smart play by Bell.

[BoulderSooner]

Been hearing that kind of stuff since I started following OU football in 1961. The aggots have rarely beaten OU in my lifetime. Let's let them play before we proclaim the aggots National Champions. By the way, what's the market going to be doing next year on that date?

Just remember this .. despite all the hype .. in the last decade osu has won against OU ONE TIME ...

[BoulderSooner]

Did you see the one pass Bell made? Wasn't even near the reciever. Not to mention the two fumbles. OU fans will probably be begging for Landry come September of next year.



Because for first time in a while there was nothing riding on this game. Sure it's a big game but no title implications really .

bell didn't fumble two times .. what game were you watching .. and this game was huge because if OU wins out it wins a Big 12 championship ..

wow .. you don't know much about football do you

He fumbled twice, lost one and one was recoevered by OU. What game were you watching?

Also, game didnt seem that huge leading up to game as tickets werent going for more than face value really. I did find out it was huge after the game when the team made a victory lap around the stadium and went nuts like they clinched a title or something. Sure OU can claim a tie for the Big 12 title if they win next week, just like OSU can claim one in 2010, I suppose.

[onthestrip]

Also, Berry Tramel has mentioned OSU as a favorite for the Big12 next year. So its not just Spartan talking non-sense.

[Pete]

That was a 3-team division tie, not one for the conference championship.

you mean when trey millard lost the fumble ... the only lost fumble of the game??

Uh, no. OU will be co-champion by the RULES of the league if they win. If OSU claimed one in 2010 then they were claiming a championship even though they didn't meet the qualifications (i.e., winning the conference championship game) set PRIOR TO THE SEASON. OSU was only a DIVISION, not conference, co-champion in 2010. Big 8 teams tied for the conference champioship for 50 years and both, or all 3, teams claimed titles.

It's amazing to me how many people cannot process how the championship criteria have changed since their is no conference championship. This isn't that hard.

Don't forget Texas' MB12C with the * by the year...I think that was 2008 or 2009 lol.

This is the first bedlam game I can remember where the best team didn't win and the loser wasn't the gooners. The pokes stock is definitely rising.

How do you figure?

[OKCisOK4me]

I think he's saying that OU got lucky on defense and OSU got tired on defense.

Actually I was just repeating what a friend of mine said. It cracks me up when he calls ou the gooners or the land thieves. He hates gooners. So much so that after the game he threw his new Nokia phone into the wall. I must say though in the end his phone held up better than his pokes.

[OKCisOK4me]

That's taking it pretty far. I used to get all wrapped up in it, but come on now, there's no reason to through temper tantrums, especially if 30+ years old (I only say that because I know I've gotten defensive around that age when all my Sooner friends were giving me crap). But I jest now, and I do it with more composure. Tell your buddy to call them dirt burglars. That's my favorite ;-)

It's not like there was some freak play or reffing mistake or something. OU deserved to win because they executed on their last drive and in OT. OSU had plenty of opportunities to get a stop and couldn't do it. Good game. OSU has definitely improved dramatically as a program, but the best team is the one that scores more points on that day.

I'd say he's got issues.

Guess people don't realize that the first land grab was in Stillwater......
