Title: OU 2000 MHK memories
Post by: fatty fat fat on October 25, 2011, 04:06:33 PM
I was a frosh in high school. My popularity was pretty decent btw (starting falling apart mid-sophomore year  :surprised:)

I was really bummed. My mom forced me to do my math HW after the game. I got really mad at her and started to cry.


41-31 was tough to take. Especially when you are a child of the DoD.  :cry:

Was in the student section. Almost ran on the field when Newman returned the blocked punt for the touchdown. And then the McGraw INT  :love:

To be honest I didn't really give a crap one way or another until that happened.  That event sparked my EMAW.

At halftime my dad and I walked down ( :lol: ) to the bathroom.  There were a lot of OU fans and they were all pretty smug, doing their Boomer Soonering.  Anyways one bumped into my (pretty upset) dad and was rude to him, to which my dad responded "You guys are so damn arrogant."  Was the first time I ever heard my dad cuss.  :surprised:

Also, we went to Arby's on Anderson after the game.  The college-aged OU fans there were much more cordial.  My dad and I had a conversation with them and they were talking about what an honor it was to upset us.  I remembered thinking, "now these are the type of guys I'd like to be like when I get to that age.  Maybe I'll take a look at OU when the time comes."

It felt very weird to lose to be at a game we lost in KSU Stadium.

Wow. If there is one game that I can remember in about full detail it's this one.

Went to Gameday with my dad, got on TV ( :cool:). After Gameday, my dad and I went to our parking spot and proceeded to tailgate before the 2:30 ABC Dr. Pepper kickoff with our guy Mussy on the call. I, like mighiganrustycat, though there was no way OU and their "gimmick offense" would come into MHK and beating us. I turned on the satellite TV in our RV, and all of the experts were picking OU. I was like, "What in the world?!?"

We go to our seats, section 19, and the atmosphere is just unreal. OU band is playing the song where their fans make the OU sign with their arms and say "OU", our crowd follows with the word, "sucks". Very elite.

Skipping ahead to the Newman scoop and score off of the punt block, the place just went wild. Loudest I've ever heard any sporting event. But we just couldn't get it done that day.

Afterwords, while the fam and I were eating at Carlos O'Kelly's, I was in shock. Simply because I had never seen KSU lose at home in my cognitive memory until that game.

I was, and still am, surprised the Spicy Quesadilla flavored Tostitos they handed out at Gameday never caught on.  I was a fan.

I hosted a bunch of Sooners and was acting all BMOC. Not so much afterwards.

Heupel got hit and hit often.

3rd & 26  :goodbyecruelworld:

i remember that game pretty decently. i had to work at carlos okellys during and after the game and i was pretty pissed about it. i had traded with the assistant manager at the time but she backed out and said that she never actually traded me and only agreed to trade me if she didn't find a ticket to the game. anyway, eff her. i later keyed her car and all was good. also, i vividly remember a family coming in and the were all kind of tall and the dad was a ksu grad from vet school and stuff and anyway i remember spitting in all of their foods and such and sort because i was just pissed at the game and they wanted extra chips with their salsa. wrong place wrong time.

I remember walking through the trees from the old shitty Jardine and hear the crowd in the line for gameday.  The gates were about to be open and some guy was up on top of the porta pisser being all elite doing the K-S-U.  Gameday was kinda meh because we couldn't hear anything.

After gameday, went immediately into GA line.  Was prob 1st fifty in the gate when it opened.  In those days, not sure if it still is, impossible for frosh to get icat as it was always sold out by the time we could enroll.  Oh, and the student section was always full.  

I remember being all hyped about our 25 game home winning streak and #2 ranking, but the sooners were a team of destiny that year.  1998, 2000, and 2003 were the years that I really felt like we could win the national title before the season started.  Was not worried about OU going into 2000...everyone had UNL circled on the calendar.

Left the game pretty much speechless...empty feeling.  First time I saw us lose in the Bill.

I was so much fun.  Everything but the final score at least, and 3 & 26 was pretty bad too.  Quincy TD/B2B Sacks/Newman TD was the best sequence of plays ever.  I remember being pissed that we lost but confident we would beat them in the rematch at Arrowhead (getting there was a foregone conclusion to me). 

The ATM loss was much worse for me, I just couldn't believe that we lost to those guys.  A real black-eye on the season.

Post by: purplenutz on October 25, 2011, 10:49:52 PM
I remember a slew of bonehead plays.  Lockett had the dropsies in the endzone, Cooper's stupid Personal foul penalties, inability to tackle anybody, JT Thatcher's return for TD.  Our team's overconfidence played into the loss on that day, everybody thought we were going to win that game.  With that said, the biggest crap ever that day was some company had printed these "Oklahoma Wins 41-31" posters.  They were trying to sell them as fans were leaving the stadium.  disappointing day. bad memory.  Seeking revenge as a fan this saturday.  Would absolutely love to beat the sooners at BSFS.

Remember this little jerkface 10yr old kid saying we're gonna lose to OU a couple days before the game and I was all pfffffff  WRONG-O.  Then I thought to myself whatev, it's a new rough ridin' millenium, and the last millenium was like OU's and NU's and other famous schools, but this one is our millenium, it's OUR millenium down here.   

The moons and stars were aligned, you know?  Guess not.   :rolleyes:

BUT MAN, IT SURE WAS LOUD, RIGHT GUYS.
Wasn't sure if the loudness of the punt block had been mentioned for the billionth time.  Wasn't there, saw it on tv.  Super Glad you all heard the really loud stuff that day.  We still lost that stupid idiot game and a shot at dominating everything for an entire millenium, JFC.  By all means tho, go be loud, WHOOOOOOH.

Was pretty confident heading in.  Finishing up my time at KSU (graduated a year later).  Bought a bedsheet at Walmart the Sunday before and painted it up with a message: "BRING ON THE TRAITORS - SCREW OU!" All purple letters except for OU (carefully titrated correct crimson and OU was an exact representation of their logo.  Message was pretty mean, but we were still hurting from '98.  Banner was then hung from our porch on Anderson.  Received lots of compliments and was featured by a visiting OKC TV station on their back home newscast.  Said banner was stolen from porch by drunken Sooners on Friday night (they probably needed it for warmth since their trailer wheels were flat and they were all sleeping in a truck bed  :ck: 

Went out to Aggieville on Friday and got into some good natured trash talk with Sooners.  Ended up climbing onto a table at Porter's and leading a packed bar in the K-S-Uuuuuu chant.  Got several in before the bouncers were able to wade through the crowd and remove me.  Hopped down off the table and exchanged in some high fives and a couple free drinks from admiring fans. 

Next day attended Gameday and generally spent a lot of time yelling "Don't believe the Heup-el!" (get it...like a play on words of hype) at random Sooners because who could believe that a skinny QB with a gimmick offense could take down the Cats.  I mean, sure, they worked the Horns the week before...but that was Texas...not a good team. 

Timeline of my emotions during game:  :excited:   :eek:   :ohno:   :shakesfist:   :curse:   :ksu:   :comehere:   :crossfingers:   :pray:   :cry:   :runaway:  End of an era.

2. forgot how to tackle...most notably Jarrod Cooper

The thing I actually remember the most about that game was the week before, sitting in Memorial Stadium during the annual beatdown of ku and hearing the Texas/OU score, and thinking, "Hoooooboy, Texas REALLY sucks this year! Looks like we got the Big 12 champy wrapped up!"

Watching Heupel get knocked down time after time in those 2 games that year and still complete those crap-ass passes was just maddening.

I remember the Arrowhead game much better. So cold. So sucky.

Whatever you do, don't talk to any OU grad who was in college during that year. It's all, "oh, that year was so awesome and magical, we didn't even know who K-State was and we were like, 'what? that game's not supposed to be that close,'" as if the 5 straight losses to K-State and sucky decade of OU football didn't even happen. "Why does K-State hate us?"   :dubious:

 :frown:

The only thing that gives me any kind of solace for the 1998/2000 OU coaching heist championship is that there seems to be a minor curse on everyone involved. "Big Game Bob" has gotten repeatedly humiliated in big games after that year. Mike Stoops and Mangino have both been fired as head coaches. Venzy can't get hired as a head coach and now has people saying Mikey should be hired back to replace him.  Screw all those guys. They can eat a big old bag of Bob Stoops.
