OU football: Sooners greeted on return in Norman

If you get rid of Stoops, you would surely have to get rid of Crack Brown before him.

I know that Texas leads the overall series against OU and I respect the heck out of Texas football, but how many BIG XII championships does Texas have since Stoops step foot in Oklahoma. Maybe 2 or so?

Just a thought.........but the eleven that did show up. Thank you and evidently you have lots of faith and enthusiasm for the next season. This is as it should be.

For some reason, though.......assuming the following folk were not enroute from Miami to Norman, I think you should be ashamed: various city officials of Norman......various students living in Norman.....various Chamber of Commerce officials .......owners/operators/managers of the many businesses (restaurants, motels/hotels/Campus Corner and other beneficiaries of weekend monies generated by OU home-game football masses), various faculty folk, other sporting athletes/other sporting coaches/ state senate-house members from Cleveland, McClain, Oklahoma counties ....State of Oklahoma officials (usually the recipients of OU tickets to games ), sponsors of radio/television folk (advertisers)/ Newspaper, radio, television folk (there had to have been at least 1 or possibly more to compose the story),...and the above listing is just the beginning of a much larger list of no-shows. To repeat: This listing does not cover folk enroute back from Miami.

lexington: I honestly did not know when they were returning. I guess I fault the media for that, and not getting the word out. We've got some spoiled fans, alright. OU played a good game and the players have every reason to be proud.

I love guys like James in Memphis. Hey James? Where should Texas Tech be ranked? They beat Texas. Hey James? Texas has the two most lopsided losses in the OU-Texas rivalry? Your thoughts? Hey James? The last 60 games between OU and Texas are an even match in victories? Any comment? Hey James. OU is so much smaller than Texas, and yet OU kicks Texas 50% of the time since WWII. Any idea why? Hey James, OU has won more National Championships than Texas has sniffed. Hey James? Still feel superior? Keep talkin' James. I like Texas fans like you.

The T-Shirt shop on South Meridian has some new shirts, that have a Buffalo on the front
and "Buffalo Sooners" on the back. Get one they are going fast. OU has now attained the
same status as the Buffalo Bills on the pro side. Yippee Bob keep counting your money!

the 11 were airport staff,hell 11 people do not care for losers!!

I am as big a Texas Longhorn fan as they come and saw this h'line on Wiz of Odds so hit the link.
Frankly, this should not have been reported. It is not news. It is just media "pot stir". So tiring.
This is journalism? By a journalist? Nice try.
Go Big 12!

Oklahoma has had more chesting violations than people can count. Do these guys get a pay cut,Booboo have to take the tractor back...lol

Cathy, Cathy, Cathy, Please don't use excuses like the ref's. You guys go beat fair and square this year. I think this October could be ugly for OU (lots of talent leaving).

If I could have I would have been there but I live 3 hrs away. And although I live in Texas - Oklahoma is my home. Born and bred Okie and love my Sooners forever. I dont give up on my State Home or my State Team! OU is still the best. We may not have won the big game but we got there didnt we and how many wanted to and didnt. And Texas can squall and bawl all they want to but Oklahoma is still a better team I dont care if Texas did beat us this year. Look at the refs who was calling the game and go figure that one out. Looking forward to next year now and the SOONERS will dominate again! Go OU!

Hello again Cathy! Remember it was your arrogant A-hole OU fans who were on every Texas site in December. Payback's suck! its 4:38 pm CST and OU still sucks!

Hey Cathy, what goes around, comes around. You arrogant OU asses lit up all of our Texas sites earlier in the year. Deal with it! At least your living in Texas though!

James-there is no reason to be so ugly. It is fans like you who give your team the reputation for poor sportsmanship. I live in the Austin area and don't run in to as many jerks as you with your trash talk. Lighten up-we all love our teams and there is no reason to be awful!

Your silence is deafening Jill! were waiting for you!

Jill, let's just go on head to head meetings: Texas leads the all-time series 58–40–5. Its 1:46 pm CST in Sheepland, and OU Still Sucks!

Let's also talk about the fact that OU is still out for winter break and will be until Jan. 20, the dorms aren't open and students aren't in Norman. I picked my family up at the airport today after their trip to Miami, and I have multiple friends who are still there, so none of them could go. I was working at 5 p.m., as I'm sure many others were. Let's not read so much into this. There will still be 13,000 people on the waiting list for OU season tickets this fall, and I suspect we will again sell out every game. Texas hasn't won any more national championships than OU this decade, they've only gone to one national championship, and they're waaay behind on Big Twelve Championships. So, I don't think there's really a lot of reason to talk smack, although idiocy is always an acceptable excuse.

Did OU finish in front of or behind Texas in the final Polls?

Is Brent in Dallas because Chokelahoma had no other openings at the local Super 8 Motel for janitor?

Did Texas win or lose this past year vs. OU?

Scoreboard: James 4 Brent 0

its 1:27 pm CST Brent, and you and OU Still Suck!

11 people. . yeah, the sooner "nation" is one of bandwagoners.

Anybody want to talk about what Heisman winner Tebow did last year in his bowl game? Maybe he should have given his Heisman to Chad Henne. We played Florida without our superstar running back and DeMarcus Granger, one of our best defensive backs. I wonder how Florida would have done without Percy Harvin and a key player on defense. Obviously you have to play the game with the players you have, but that doesn't mean you're not comparing apples and oranges. OU lost by 10 points, not 50. And, I suspect if both teams played multiple times, especially if OU had a healthy DeMarco Murray and DeMarcus Granger, they'd probably just about split the victories. Florida scored less against OU than half the teams in the Big Twelve, which I found interesting. So much for the comments about OU's defense.

Almost a fan for every point ......sorry for the beatdown, Mr Bradford should hand over the Heisman to Tebow,would show some class. Putting up #'s in the Big 12 is kind of shallow.Bradford would maybe be the 4th best in the SEC. Oklahoma and Ohio St next year......if their is a God,would be the matchup,one could at least win BCS bowl game

Hey unlike some of you deadbeats some people do have jobs and could not get there. why were you not there? If you aren't a Sooner fan then why do you care anyway and shut the hell up.

11 people is hilarious? How many were handing out Kleenex to the boomer losers?

If the Sooners end up in San Diego, perhaps they could stay at some of the timeshare condos Texas fans purchased years ago. I remember how Texas fans were running their mouth in mid 2006 about the Sooners ending up in San Diego or San Antonio - where did Texas play that year - the Alamo Bowl? Only at Texas are Holiday Bowl and Alamo Bowl trophies greater accomplishments than Big 12 titles.

The rally over Ohio State was so impressive that Utah and USC jumped Texas in the AP poll.

11 people?!? Wow those sooner types jumped off that bandwagon quickly, didn't they? LOL!! I think they had more people at the airport at 3:30 AM when the women's soccer team lost in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 pre-season tournament. Those tickets may be a tough sell next year when Stooper and co. are trying to break in an offensive line while they stumble to 4-7. By the way, what does BCS stand for? Bob Cabana-boy Stoops. Its 10 PM and OU still sucks!

Is it lights out at the jail house, or are you cleaning the toilets?

9:06 pm CST Melvin, and OU still sucks!

Only you would know such things Melvin. Did you learn that in 3rd or 4th grade? or did they teach you that in county jail after you swore that she was at least 14.

Hey Melvin, your are the epitome of a Sooner fan. Sit back and enjoy all the comments coming OU's way this winter, spring, summer, fall..... You all deserve it.

It's 8:53 pm CST Melvin and You and OU still Suck!

Can we now please stop talking about Zero U and their overrated football program! I have yet to hear an OU fan with just a little degree of humility. You guys get spanked every year in the big games (Remember Texas?) and continue to act like you are the best college football program to ever exist! What a joke!!! Stoops would never apologize for sneaking his way into the Big XII and BCS National Championship games when everyone knew they clearly didn't deserve the opportunity! Karma is a mean mfer and the Sooners got exactly what they deserved in that game! Teams like Texas and Florida exposed the Sooners as just another mediocre football team! And for the record, that's five Big XII titles not six because this year was absolutely not a legitimate game with the Horns being left out after beating both Big XII championship representatives!!! Nice game SpongeBob Bowlflop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hook em Horns

Hey Matt

I've posted some other comments for you and your 'ignore' strategy on other articles.

they all end with something like this...... its 7:10 pm CST and OU Still Sucks!

3 Million dollar mistake!! BOB STOOPS his coaching skills aren't as good as they are in the regular season against good teams. He lost to Texas this year and was beaten again in the BCS game. Boise, Florida, Texas and let's not forget USC. Stoops' performance at Oklahoma has made him the frequent subject of head coach searches by several NFL teams as well as other college programs, which he has repeatedly turned away. He was reportedly the top-paid coach in Division 1-A football with annual compensation in excess of $3 million until Nick Saban was signed by the University of Alabama for $4 million per year beginning in 2007. However, Stoops will receive a "longevity bonus" of $3,000,000 at the end of the 2008 season (his 10th), making his annual salary in 2008 3 Million dollar mistake!!

So much more pleasant in here not reading James. It's sad that he cannot see that the game was very evenly matched. The only reason Florida won instead of OU was red zone scoring. In the first half OU had their chances and Florida's defense came through. In the second half, Florida had their chances and did score. Game over. If all he can do is come to these blogs and slam OU, he needs to get a life. BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!! 6:43 CST and we still love our SOONERS!!!!!!!

every sooner fan with real balls, just click ignore Matt...

what's wrong boys, you can dish it out but can't take it?

See you chokes in Dallas for another beat down!

Poor Matt

just like your coach...when the going gets tough, OU hides!

Its 6:34 pm Matt and you and OU Still suck!

Everyone who is tired of reading James, Memphis posts, just click ignore James. 6:26 pm CST and James SUCKS!!

P.S Airline tickets from OKC to San Diego are only $276 round trip on Continental. You sooner fans should get long tickets now....I'm guessing its either the Poinsettia or Holiday Bowl Next Year.

6:06 pm and OU still Sucks!

Germany was destroyed in WW I and WW II, but according to Chris..."at least they were there"

Japan was hit with nuclear weapons...but "at least they were there"

Bob Stoops was out coached and out played by Boise State...but "at least he was there"

OU got housed by Texas at the Cotton Bowl...but, "at least the team was there"


Benard Madoff stole $50 billion in a Ponzi scheme...but "at least he was there"

Its now 6:00 pm CST and OU still sucks!

2006, 2007 and 2008 BIG XII Champions with a final record of 12-2 and a September 5th, 2009 game vs BYU at a One Billion Dollar NEW Stadium being the Dallas Cowboys. Something to look forward to Sooner Fans.

that's the best you can do Chris in estherville.

at least OU was there! You guys lit up every Texas newspaper site after the BCS awarded you the Big 12 South Championship. Just sit back and get ready for a lot of tough comments this winter, spring, and summer...you deserve them. You all were so arrogant after getting into the Big 12 Championship, but now you can't take a some tough criticism.

Bob Stoops Sucks!, OU Sucks!, and you choked another BCS game away.

its 5:55 pm CST and OU still Sucks!

To the mindless poster signing in as okiechockie, no doubt a Texsucks shorthorn fan, at least OU was there, no matter what you cry about and they will be there again, reguardless of your crying and bantering. Yeah they didn't win, but they at least had a good shot, which the shorthorns didn't. Anyway Texsucks looked and played so poorly against a below average Ohio State team that it really felt more like a loss, nothing to hang your hat on and Florida was really the only team in the SEC that was worth a damn. OU could have won but it just didn't go their way this time but there will always be next year, always and if winning the championship were so easy to do then I'm sure the shorthorns would have more than 4 and more than OU, chump.

Pat, Grand Prairie: There was a commit about fair weather fans and I gave my opinion. If you don't like it, fine. But if you don't know what I am writing about or responding to and you just feel that you need to say something than, Get a life!

its 5:00 pm CST and OU Still Sucks!

where are the arrogant comments now? Your silence on the Texas blogs is deafening!

J you are missing the point so bad it is ridiculous. This is about showing up to show your support not whether being critical is right or wrong. My gosh get a clue!

I know when I played at OU it was nice to see the fans when we got back to campus win or lose, especially after a loss.

Keith, North Charleston: I agree with that. It seems that we were looking too much at the sidelines and the no huddle looked more like the slow huddle. Tulsa runs a pretty good no huddle offense, maybe the coaching staff needs to look into doing the same next year.

I don't think anyone owes OU anything and personally I wouldn't have showed up either. They should have won, period! I am a Sooner Fan and have been for years. I support the team win or loose, but I will not have someone tell me that I am not a true fan because I express my opinion about the way they played. I have even heard Coach Switzer complain about play calling and even heard former players question calls. So just because you play or coach for Oklahoma Sooners make you exempt from any criticism, even from fans. True fans that will let you know when you are right or wrong! This isn't a pee-wee football team. They are adults, they can take it!

Well if I did not live 3 hours away I would have been there...too bad there wasn't more notice

J, I think that the coaches were probably relieved that a whole bunch of fans didn't show up wanting them to explain " WHAT THE HECK WERE THOSE PLAYS IN THE RED ZONE ABOUT ? " I think the fans deserve an explaination from the coaches not an apology about why they did what they did. I don't blame the players for anything they did during the game. They played hard and represented OU and the State of Oklahoma. But I do want the coaches to explain themselves.

Actually Pat, John is obviously typical of OU fair-weather fans. It should have been eleven THOUSAND!! OU fans on these boards love to brag about filling their stadium...WHERE THE HELL WERE THEY???!!! If I were any of those players like Bradford considering whether to stay or go pro, this would certainly make up my mind for me. NFL, here I come! OU has great fans??? I think NOT!!

At age 80, I've seen many O.U. football games. I was so discouraged to once again see Okla. lose. Something is wrong with the offensive coach who sent the same play over & over again -- 3 times -- knowing the "brick wall" of the defenders. There were at least 4 times when Okla. should have easily scored, but whoever was calling the plays has sawdust for brains. The Sooner offense was up to the task, but with bad play-calling, dropping the ball, and stupid decisions -- the game was lost. The Sooner Defense gave it their all, and sacked Tebow the Terrible, time after time. All Florida had was their running quarterback, and No. 1, a running back, -- who kept leaving the field, injured, -- only to return 3 different times, leaping up & down..... (buying more time, among other things). Tebow's conduct on the field was unbecoming. Thank God our Sooners can hold their heads high and know they did a great job -- and should have won the game, having outplayed the Florida boys!!!

John, Oklahoma City you are NOT a true fan sir. What a pathetic individual.

Its ok ou fans, because ou is still be in the big 12. Hey, maybe stoops can schedule nebraska, missouri, and texas a&m for non-conference games. You could have a warm-up against iowa state, or a maybe a rematch against ut-chattanooga. Anything to boost the stats for the offense of the century! Maybe they can even create a new bowl, just for ou. We will play it in norman so ou will not have to worry about a neutral field. We will call it the sooner bowl, and ou can play cincinnati, so they won't have to worry about choking!!!

If I lived in Norman, I would have been there.
Win or lose, I'll always be proud to be a Sooner. I wore my OU gear on Friday and will continue to do so. I wished we would have won, we had the opportunity. The Gators executed, we didn't. End of Story.
Boomer

Is this article a joke? Eleven people. Wow that is a lot of support for a team that gave us a lot of memories and good memories this year. Eleven people well God bless them. If I were in Norman I would have been out there to say thank you for the victories and a great game in Miami. Eleven people, I just cannot believe the Sooner fans are so fickle and do not support our team even in defeat. The team did not let us down. If anyone did it was the coaches and their decisions Thursday night. No passes during the first time at the goal line? Not going for a field goal and getting the lead at the end of the half? The field goal try at extremely long range? Second guessing the coaches is not right but these decisions are highly questionable. However, the defense really played well against a very good team and offense gave it their best shot. Now no one wants to support them. Terrible.

We survived the Dust Bowl and we will survive the BCS. Sooners do not rebuild, we reload! Can't wait until next season.

Tebow Skips Senior Season, Ascends Directly Into Heaven

MIAMI (SP) -- Shortly after leading the Florida Gators to a national
championship with a 24-14 win over Oklahoma, junior quarterback Tim
Tebow announced that he would skip his senior season and ascend
directly into heaven.

Tebow entered the press room to wild applause. A reporter for a 24-
hour cable sports network burst into tears when the 2007 Heisman
winner entered the room. Another threw a pair of boxer shorts on the
podium. Tebow smiled at the gesture and several sports reporters
fainted.

"Sorry I'm late," Tebow began. "There was a six-year-old boy with
cancer in row 54 and I had to make my way through the crowd to heal
him."

"I want to start by saying that playing quarterback for the University
of Florida, winning two national championships, has been a great
honor. There has been some speculation about my future and I want to
clear that up right now," he continued.

"Don't go, Tim!" a reporter shouted from the back of the room.

"After much consideration, I have decided to skip my senior season at
the University of Florida and ascend directly into Heaven," Tebow
announced. Upon making the announcement, Tebow was bathed in a
blinding white light and vanished.

In response to the news, ESPN announced they will have a month-long
tribute to Tebow. ESPN2 will now be known as ESPN-TEBOW and will
feature Tebow highlights (including home videos of Tebow's childhood),
re-airings of past interviews, Tebow-centric analysis by ESPN air
personalities, a Tebow quiz show and a reality show to find the "most
Tebow-like" person in America.

"He wasn't just the greatest player in college football history," said
a college football writer at the press conference, tears streaming
down his face. "He might have been the greatest person to ever walk on
earth."

Yep, they didn't show up for work on Friday either. Bahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every morning I wake up in my Ski Island home. I go out, get into my car, and get onto Macarthur. A lot of times I stop at the 7-11 on Macarthur (just south of the Britton light on the east side of the road) and get a cup of coffee, then I continue on to NW Expressway, head down 74, and take the cross-town (I-40) to downtown. I go into my work area and listen to all the OU fans talk about how they are so great, and how they were going to whip Florida 62-24. Friday was great. A lot of people called in sick!!! Monday is going to be even better!!! Bahahahahahahaha!!!

True Sooner fans still love the Sooners. If you are Sooner born, and Sooner bred then you will continue to be until you are Sooner dead! I am proud to be a Sooner and I am proud of those boys. See you next season! BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shame Shame Those of us stuck out here in the world (Plattsmouth Nebraska YUCH) would have loved to be there to greet the boys back. I guess that a 12 win season another Big 12 Championship and the privledge of supporting the greatest college football program on the planet is not enough. I know the BCS BUGABOO is on everyone's mind who follows Oklahoma, but we will get it right believe me. The media will grab on to anything and everything negative so let's show the world what OU is made of.
KEEP the FAITH.
BOOMER SOONER

Great job Sooners!!! Probably would have been there if I wasn't a transplant. Enough with all the negatives. We've got to start throwing out more positives. We'll get #8 sooner than later.

Win a BOWL game, and then maybe I will show up...

I think that the coaches were probably relieved that a whole bunch of fans didn't show up wanting them to explain " WHAT THE HECK WERE THOSE PLAYS IN THE RED ZONE THE RED ZONE ABOUT ? " I think they deserve an explaination from them not an apology about why they did what they did. I don't blame the players for anything they did during the game. But I do want the coaches to explain themselves.

Thanks, Coach Stoops et al coaches!!What a great year you have had..Champions ,team and coaches...Hey now, do not be discouraged...we will be with you next season,you bet!!
Remember, 'The Cream Always Rises to the Top'>>>>
Boo and John/alem,MA

11 people showed up to greet the team...WOW...let's break this down....3,000,000 "sooner fans" = 2,999,989 fair weather fans and 11 REAL sooner fans......pathetic

Keep your heads up Coaches. The Sooner Nation still supports you and the Team!!! I've been a loyal fan since a kid watching my older sister play in the Pride Of Oklahoma. My wife and I made every home game this year and we plan on attending every home game next season.
Boomer Sooner!!!

Tom is spot on. I'll tell you why. I moved here in 1990 and couldn't give a rats arshe about football. But, over time and listening to my OU friends, I got hooked on OU during the 2000 championship run. But, from that point on, I EXPECTED OU to win. I was then a "fair weather" fan. Praise them when they win and cuss them when they lost ANY game. It's taken me time to learn that you can't expect it all the time and I've since loss my demeanor of emotions if the win or lose. Will always be OU fan regardless.

Great season, Sooners. There's nothing to be ashamed of. The 2008 season is over and it's time to rest up and get on with college life.

Paula, go right on believing everything you read in the NYT and you will go far, LOL. I guess you failed to read follow ups where he admitted that the paper was exaggerated and that no UT staff or players were even present. Get REAL.

I guess you expect us to believe the mother's story about her telling Brown that other teams were offering monetary gifts and basically appeared with her hand out. Everyone jumps on fiction without waiting for the truth to come out and why not have the NCAA investigate if they believe any of the 'stories'. If you're going to believe the NYT, please make sure the writer isn't a homer.

I'll bet they would have came out if OU had won.

This 11 people thing is overblown, it wasn't highly publicized when they were getting back and it was 5 on a Friday afternoon! Most people were either at work or just getting off work, so the fact that people didn't come out in droves isn't a huge surprise.

Again, I want to thank Coach Stoops the rest of the staff and the players for a great season. Just like coach Stoops said after the game, "We'll try and get there next year and every year after." Something like that, anyway. Woe to those who think OU will never win another big game. It will happen and it will happen under Coach Stoops's watch. BOOMER SOONER!!!!

I had planned on being there to greet them however they beat me back from Miami! I'm proud of our team and coaching staff for the great job they did this season and will have my nephews at Sooner football camp in June. BOOMER SOONER!

Sam Bradford, Please come back, take another shot at TeHomoBow

Far from a fair weather fan here. Been a a Sooner fan 48 years now and will continue to be. Just was pointing out an area where I think the coaching staff needs to get better at. In the times that Oklahoma gets behind in big games the Offensive staff seems to lose focus and that causes errors like we saw in the game. The additional time it was taking for Oklahoma to snap the ball in the 2nd half gave Florida an advantage. When Oklahoma did get the ball snapped quickly they were successful at gashing the Florida defense.That is my point.

11 people is embarassing. I guess most of the so called fans didn't want to be associated with this team after its humiliation.

Wow, 11 people...it would have been better if no one showed up.

I would agree that as Sooner fans we tend to be a bit spoiled. We quickly forget sitting through Blake/Schnellenberger era where any bowl game was a pipe dream. Unlike the USC game, this team didn't lay an egg - they played well against great team who took advantage of their opportunities when OU didn't.

I know everyone is disappointed, but this is a great program and Stoops will undoubtedly win another title. I'm sure it hurts everyone in the program to have to go through another year of 0 for BCS bowl talk. You would hope the fans near Norman would have been a bit more supportive.

You're either a fan through and through or you're not...I'm sorry the Sooners lost...but their "fair" weather fans should love them no matter what!

Suck it J.

Hopefully Coach Stoops and Coach Wilson took some mental notes with them from this game about scheming certain plays against teams that have really good defenses like the Florida Gators have. Those 2 series of plays deep inside the red zone and they do not come away with any points were the big turning points of the game in my mind.They gave momentum and energy to Florida at a point in the game where Oklahoma was in the position to seize control of the game.
Another thing that helped the Florida defense was the Sooner coaching staff indecisiveness on plays caused the offense to take too long to get plays off at key times during the game. This allowed Florida to reposition their defensive players to be in a better position to disrupt plays like we saw down in the red zone. I am still a Sooner fan and always will be.

J,Austin what's up? Don't think you have to much to crow about. Your team had to come from behind to beat a very subpar Ohio State in the last second. Have you not read the articles about how the BCS got it right and you guys should have been where you were because you SUCK! If it wasn't for your coach CRY DADDY MACK you might have not even made it there. You guys really need to take up a collection and get Mack some counciling for his emotional problems instead of whining and dining, oh yeah and providing drugs and topless girls to your high school recruits. I believe that is againt the law, or maybe Texas has a whole different set of laws! Just read the New York times anyone if you have not read it yet. Better get your ducks in a row for the investigation that is soon to follow. You guys classless and would stoop to anything from crying to breaking the law! You would do well to mind your own backyard before you come on here and talk about some else!

BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hold your heads up high and get ready for next year. Many teams would have loved to be in our position. To bad I live in Arkansas because you can bet that I would have been there to welcome them home. Heck, if I had know I would have probably drove all the way 7 hrs to welcome them back. You guys should be ashamed of yourself. And the media makes me sick. Bradford is an awesome individual and no one should try to take away what he as accomplished this or last year. The media acts like Tebow walks on water. We'll he better if he goes to the NFL or he'll be meeting Jesus sooner than he thinks. He's to slow and the NFL guys will kill him. Better loose some of that baby fat his momma has kept on him while home schooling him LOL! I love the SOONERS and BIG GAME BOB, at least he gets us there and he didn't have to cry and whine like somebody I know south of us to get there!

Many who would have been there were still in Miami or on our way back.

Hey DOK, what happened to Tom's comment about people not appreciating what has been don. It was the 6th post, had no profanity or anything. For anyone that didn't get to read it, it was good and just called out the spoiled Sooner fans who don't show appreciation for their team.

DOK=FAIL on this one.

I would have proudly been there, but live an hour away. Plus I did not know the schedule. Tough loss, but the Sooners will move on - wait and see. BOOMER!

Thats so great!! The true okie comes out. 11 people!! HA HA HA that so funny. You people are the joke of the nation. Thanks for living up to the suck-a-tude that is jokelahoma!

Would have made it 12, but live an hour away and did not know when they were getting in. As I said in an earlier post elsewhere: Boomer Born, Boomer Bred and when I die I'll be Boomer Dead! Rah! OKLAHOMA! Let the media heads talk, Sooners will never change their support! Hey, Billy! BOOMER!

Tired of hearing about Tebow? Now you know how the rest of the world felt hearing about Sam Bradford and the best offense in the world everyday!!

OU will be there again. I am over the loss, and I agree with Tom. We have a great team. Sure, they haven't finished well in a while but we are Oklahoma, and we will be there again. Bob said it best, if this is the biggest burden I have to deal with in life is losing in the national title game, then I guess we've got it good, really good.

As an OU grad and Native Okahoman, what do you expect? After 5 straight bowl losses, 3 for the NC, I have lost faith in our teams toughness in big games. Yes we rule the B12, but that league now is suspect, but on the national stage we fail to show up, period.

I am a Oklahoma native and OU GRAD,BUT 5 STRAIGHT BCS BOWL LOSSES AND 3 NC game meltdowns (yea I said Meltdown) WILL sour anybody. Let's just move on.

I have been an avid fan of The University of Oklahoma Sooner sports program for over 50 years;without ever having had the chance of ever stepping upon the campus as either a growing youngster to witness " our heroes " on their field of blood and honor or,as even a Texas high-school dropout trying to find my way through the impassioned years which was the Vietnam-era conflict. Yet,eventhough I don't to this day have what you Okies would call a formal education. I do know why there were ONLY eleven rowdy thankful fans greeting Coach Bob Stoops,his coaches and the 2008-09 version of our Oklahoma Sooners as they proudly stepped off the buses. A blind person could spot it in a minute: " everyone who supports the crimson and cream ARE spoiled to the max by success." And,when our Sooners do not add to OU's past history of winning; we the fans stupidly "punish" our team ! I remember being at a game in Boulder with my Dad when I was five;listening to a radio announcer on a Colorado station answering a telephone caller's inquiry about the score between Oklahoma and the Golden Buffaloes. And,the radio announcer telling the caller the score was something like 45 to 0 late in the 4th quarter. The caller's
retort was," Is that all !" And,do you know what the announcer's reply was? He laughingly replied;" How much rice can a China-man eat?"
I say again; " WE are spoiled rice eaters who can not accept losing as well as winning. And,until we ALL gather together as a Sooner nation to welcome back our blooded but never stopped gridiron heroes;WE don't deserve another National Championship,period."

I want to thank the players and coaches for another outstanding season. Coach Stoops, outstanding job in 10 years at OU. Not very many coaches can say they have been to the national championship game four times. News people always go for the negativisim. Keep up the good work. We are proud of you and the players you have.

I am so sick and tired of all the slanted media coverage, you would think tebow sprouted wings and was wearing a halo, that had to be one of the worst announcement jobs I have ever witnessed!! they were terrible and the telecast was disjointed to say the least, I would have rather heard musburger and herbstreet on the tube not the radio??? there were so many media time outs it was ridiculous, I would bet that over half of the sooner fans turned the sound off and listened to the radio!!

It is unbelievable that only 11 people showed to welcome back the team?? does anyone know what the coaches and players went through this year to get to the championship how much sacrifice, wear and tear their bodies endured? Sure we can support them when they win but it takes a true fan to show up when they lose!! all the sooner nation should be ashamed!!!
