Yeah, I agree, 'blast. However, the '98 cats kinda make me feel like it could be a thing. That was a great win for OU tho.
i mean i guess, being demoted to the Sugar Bowl is not the same as being demoted to the Alamo Bowl
While I wholeheartedly agree with you here, the point is that when the dream/goal all season was the BCS championship, a certain level of disappointment in NOT playing for the crystal football is to be expected. Thus, the level of focus/motivation across the entirety of the team decreases.
I remain firmly of the belief that had the OU vs Bama game been the BCS title game that Bama likely covers the 14 pt spread. As it was, playing OU +14 was a no-brainer... Just like it was a no brainer to play Utah plus 14 vs Bama in the '09 Sugar that the Utes won 31-17. I think we all saw what Bama did to a Notre Dame team that won in Norman when it was for a crystal football.
It was a no-brainer to pick Utah? The year before Alabama went 7-5 and lost to UL-MONROE! They hadn't even played in an NC yet for over 20 years.
Jesus Christ. Whoops I mean, LHC Bill Snyder.
Anyway, tell me about the Cats. How the fvck are we gonna beat Auburn? I have nightmares about Gus Malzahn's offense.
