OU bowl watch: Rematch with LSU or USC two of OU's bowl possibilities

Its not too early to talk bowl games. Never too early for me cos I currently reside in So Cali and would love to personally see the Sooners in my back yard at the Holiday bowl. I could care less who they play.....as long as they play. *Although a bowl WIN WOULD be nice this year!! Ugh! However, I like the idea of USC NOT in the Rose bowl. Even So Californians get sick of seeing them in it almost every year. So my hopes are the Ducks in the Rose and USC in the Holiday with OU (if they lose another conference game still)

i like Jo's comment as well. He or she is pretty bright.

I like Jo's comment. Said it like it is. It's an opinion and yet everyone says Jo is an idiot. I think it's funny at the end of every year watching OU look like a highschool team. Watching the media talk about how great they are and how they should be a good match for those other big name teams they play then watching those same media make excuses for why they got spanked.

This artical is similar to Jenni Carlson's a couple of weeks ago saying OSU's quarterback could win the Heisman. The Daily Oklahoman makes me laugh.

I love how everyone is critical of our WR recruiting, yet, suddenly that is becoming a bright spot on the team. Miller and Tennell are coming around and making plays. Broyles is being Broyles. Looks like they have given up on Kenney and Owens was a bust. Those things happen. WR is becoming a position of strength.

The O-line still needs work, but they are progressing. I like how they are passing to set up the run now. Seems to be opening things up a little.

Wow, and the penalties have improved. Aside from the obvious hiccup in the KSU game (which they overcame) they have played pretty clean the last couple of games.

Oh yes, and the Brandon Spikes thing... this is the guy that said OU played dirty. Talk about throwing stones in glass houses....

I would love for OU to play either LSU or USC. I wish we played them every year preconference. But, of course, we're not even bowl eligible yet. Nebraska is not going to be easy this Saturday. But I like our chances. BOOMER SOONER!!!

It is too early to start talking about any bowl game. The Sooners need to take care of Nebraska and worry about the rest later. One game at a time please.

The defense had a major let down Saturday. Not sure what happened but it was not the same guys that went againsT Texas and Kansas. Consistency, consistency, consistency is needed. Good thing the offense showed up in the second half. Another glitch is what happened on kickoff coverage when KSU's Banks went the distance. Hope this was an isolated case.

The Sooners appear to be righting the ship but there are still too many leaks. This week will be test for the offensive line against a very very good Cornhusker defensive line. GO SOONERS!!!

"We don't want to play USC"....lose a couple more and ou can lose their bowl game in Shreveport. Don't know about the wine, but things are definitely turning up roses for the Horns

You guys can't be true fans. Afraid to play LSU and USC!? I say bring em on. I like the way the team is improving each week.

Please don't bring up OU and bowl games. It makes my tummy hurt.

Jo, kinda like the days in the late 70s and early 80s when OU was regularly a 3 loss team. Jo even the "god" Barry had some bad stretches. So don't go revisionist history on us. By your standards Barry should have been gone by 82. Bob's 11 years has been as good as any 11 year stretch as Barry had.

Jo, I'm pretty sure that Stoop's records against those three conferences areo 6-3 vs Pac-10, 3-1 vs ACC, and 3-3 vs SEC. I'd have to disagree with you on whether or not he can hang with those conferences

Jo is an idiot, you can't pay any attention to anything "it" says. "It" is an OSU troll who just gets on here writing insane asinine comments about Bob Stoops, just to see how people will respond. It is best to put "it" on ignore and save yourself the trouble.

Jo you are an idiot. Not sure how you expect Stoops to succeed with second string qbs. If Bradford and Gresham had not been injured OU would easily be undefeated and probably number 1 in the country. Would you still be writing your negative crap then? Yes I have a few bones to pick about calls that were made in the Florida game last year when we had 1st and goal from the 4 or 5 and didn't score but your comments are just cherry-picking nonsense.

In Stoops last 6 season's, OU has just been Fodder for the polls. Prime-time failures. Gone
is the success. He's a good coach, but not the coach OU hired 10 season's ago, and it isn't
going to change. The days of Wine and Rose's with Barry are fond memories. Anticipating
a game with a top-10 team, with a good chance to win was exciting. Now, we get Potted
Meat, Crackers and Old Milwaukee and a fear of how much embarrassment Stoops is going
to inflict on the program. OU has no business playing LSU or USC. Stoops has never beaten
Carroll, and Miles proved, while at OSU with underdog teams, Bob was an easy mark. A
blessing would be for USC to lose again and T.T. to keep winning. OU is more of an Alamo,
Gator, Mienke Car Care Bowl team. They can't compete with the upper division teams in
the SEC, Pac-10, ACC. Sorry but it's true. They have proved it. Wake up Sooner Fans and
smell the potted meat. IT'S OVER.....UNLESS?

Scott...did you see what Oregon did to USC Saturday? Oregon is not a squad of world beaters, and they made USC look very vulnerable. To say we aren't on their level would be an insult I'd think. Would Oregon do that to us too?

I don't think we want to play USC - but from what I have seen from LSU - bring them on. Speaking of the SEC, did anyboy see that chicken"stuff" move when Spikes jammed his fingers in that guys eyes.

Not this again!!! I'm sorry, but I don't think we're at the level to play LSU or USC again. Isn't it a little early to be talking about bowl games? Still got some tough games left to go.

Tom from Temple, this has turned out to be a different year. We have to right the ship and the coaches are doing that one week at a time. With all that has been said about the coaches coaching abilities, they are doing a good job given what they have to work with (young and inexperienced players). It is still a mystery to me how we can not have good receivers ready to go, and that we continually face a shortage of good offensive linemen. Game time coaching is good, overall management of the program seems to be slipping. I wonder if Stoops is getting a little burned out.

Terry from Norman, you are correct. CFB has gotten in bed with corporate business and is now run like one. It makes sense that the greed from business infiltrated the game. There are so many facets of this game that suck thanks to the GREED. It will be it's downfall.

Thank God they dont sell beer at the football games huh Terry? Try a whooping 8 bucks a pop. Trust me I go to Cardinals games a couple of times a year, after tickets,parking, snacks and a souveiner, i'm eating fried bologna until the next payday. To top it off, if your team loses, you really wont be very happy for a while.

When was the last time OU victories over Kansas and K-State have been described as impressive? Used to be if you didn't hang half-a-hundred on em by halftime it was a disapointment.

If you want to be the man you have to beat the man. Who wants a lock in a bowl game. Of course I can understand, and I am serious about this, I understand that fans pay huge amounts of money for these bowl games. Heck it cost $79 to get into K-State. This has really gotten out of hand. I dont have a problem paying some, but this is way too high and then to purchase a hot dog and a drink is going to cost you way more than it should. So my heart isnt into college football much anymore, I really dont care. Actually its split me, on one hand I do as these coaches are given lots of money to produce a winning product and the players are given a pretty much free education which is not cheap at major universities. So when you throw in this money yes I expect more, but on the flip side its gotten way out of hand and will one day implode because of greed.
