We lose on Saturday

[bigDcat]

Just trying to talk sense. 2 touchdown underdogs. Stoops incredible record after a loss. This isn't 2003.

[Coley]

I just hope the game is close and is a good game if we lose. blowout loss,  I'll be pissed

[Testy Westy]

I'm usually more pissed after close losses.

What does big D stand for? Aside from Dallas and Divorce in the Mark Chestnut song.

Pragmatically, an OU win on Saturday would hurt us in the long run.

Stoops is incredible after a loss because he never loses at home, thus making it nearly impossible to lose 2 straight.

Until now

[yoga-like_abana]

I need something pleasant right now at this point. So that means the Cats will deliver.

FWIW, I live with BigDcat and this little Texan has never been more excited for a game.  He may try and act tough on this bbs, but in real life, he's super optimistic.

I have to say that my gut is saying loss, with the possibility of a big loss.  I won't feel too bad if we keep it single digits.

That being said... the season up to this point has been -- well, magical. I've learned that this team is not one to bet against. We always come mentally prepared, don't get rattled, and battle hard all the way. If we pull this out, it will definitely be six shades of sweetness.

I've bet against this team so far, and I'm not jinxing us by changing now.  We'll lose by 20+

Me too, which means we'll probably lose by 30+

It's amazing to think how much that OU has been put on a pedestal this season.  WOW, I mean WOW congrats guys on beating a 3 loss Florida State team by 10, they're not even the best team in the state of Florida!  Look, I'm not buying any of this OU blowout crap, they got outplayed and out coached by a better Texas Tech team.  I watched the same game everyone else did.  In all seriousness, at the end of the year OU might finish 5th in this conference behind K-State, OSU, A&M and Tech.  

If OU gets outplayed at home and lose to the same team we beat by 10 in Lubbock, why all of a sudden does that equate to a 20 point blowout loss by K-State in Manhattan?  Seriously some of us need a reality check.  We're good, OU is good but not great, this will be close on Saturday and I think our guys are prepared and focused and will win behind the great leadership of the The Chamber.

We only beat Tech by 7 in Lubbock.

Also, OU let KU hang around for a half and didn't exactly destroy MU (and got down early). This is a good team, but clearly not the preseaon #1 they were made out to be. Very beatable and its not like anything they do will be a surprise. We've played spread, fast paced offenses and their defense is solid, but we can move the ball. I was actually surprised that their return game wasn't better, ours isn't only better, its a lot better.

So, we beat Tech in Lubbock.  Forgive me please for misquoting a score.

1999 has the "Haven't been X-0 since..." locked down for a few weeks.

I think a passing qb is the only thing that can really gash OU's defense.  We aint got one.  We'll lose by quite a bit.  Saying that we beat Tech @ and Tech beat Ou @, therefore, we dominate ou is pretty errant.  Tech matches up better, ou slept.

I agree the Tech comparison has flaws because we are such different teams, but there is no evidence to think we simply can't run on OU. OU's rush defense is solid, but not dominant. Plus, they haven't faced many teams that commit to running the football and none that run the variety of option and power football that we do. They may stop us, but there is nothing going in that indicates to me that OU will be able to completely shut down our running game. Nothing.

As long as we can run well enough to force OU to bring an extra defender into the box, we will be able to pass somewhat effectively. I think this will happen. If OU can stop the run with only 7 players, we will not only lose, but I think it will get ugly.
