OU's Brody Eldridge, Auston English out for season

Hey Mat, how quickly you forget that every season for OSU hinges on them beating OU, since OSU never seems to play for anything else. OU will always have bigger fish to fry than beating OSU. We all saw the level OSU rises to when they had everything to play for against Texas, at home nonetheless, and didn't even bother showing up. The only reason beating OSU is a must is to shut up their fans, who all seem to suffer from a severe inferiority complex.

Mat, glad to see you're happy that we're not. We're pissed off and frustrated, not necessarily fair-weather just honest. News Flash, your team still isn't very good. Either of them. No Sarcasm at all. Boomer Sooner!

2009 HAPPENS!!!

HAHA, I love seeing all the fair-weather comments on here. To good. AS a lifelong Husker fan and an OSU alum, it is so good to see OU fans hinging their season on beating OSU. Face it, OU is not invincible as many OU fans lead to believe. Over-confidence can be a burden when it doesn't go well correct? Hate seeing the OU kids in this position but as for seeing the fans seething is just priceless. /sarcasm Stay classy OU!! /sarcasm off

Watched the Great Steve Owens, Dewey, Leroy, Lucious Selmon..Joe Washington, Billy Sims Score a touchdown Owen Field.... I have never seen anything like this year... Something has changed...... Its a faster game... I hope Stoops slows the tempo.. This group needs the pro set. Run the ball, Double Tight end.. If there are any left.. Huddle, slow it down.....

Sooners have simply had terrible luck.

Actually, OSU and OU have. But OU wins in the bad luck department.

Sorry Sooners, all signs point to a good year in 2010 though.

Hey ou wheres your sooner magic now. going to be a great new year watching longhorns win the national title.

Grant, Edmond, you heard wrong. Next season there will be some new faces on the O-Line, but they won't come from the defense.

Thank you for the compliment Adam and my apologies for the profanity. Chris's comments hit a nerve with me, if you could not tell. Just kills me when people talk about quitting. I never allowed my Marines to quit and they did the same for me. I know this is football, but any type of adversity is a chance to build character. The players and coaches looked really down this evening in the interviews on soonersports.com. I will be watching the game on TV out here in CA. I hope you fans who show up, show up. Those guys can use a serious pick me up. You can bet no one feels as embarrassed about Saturday night as our offense and the coaches. Coach 'em up Stoops and fans rock the the house!

What else can go wrong?

In the future, the Sooners might try to get players on the bench a little game time and quit trying to set records for consecutive 60+ point games. Just a thought. It was fun for you last year but you are paying for it now.

Man oh man...Talk about your bad luck.I feel for you sooner fans.

OMG can it get any worse? Guess so, I guess we could lose Stoops too.
I just hope all yearthe players that are not seniors come back and the seniors that can get an extra year for any reason they can, like Gresham since he could not play this year. I'm sure they will all go to the draft now though. I cannot believe we have lost so many players this year. What a tragedy.

Ryan, thanks. I don't want to bring the guy's family into this. I am happy for his daughter and his pride about her. Seriously.

But, again, this is entertainment. It sucks that the Sooners are having a bummer of a season. It certainly does not thrill me.

On the other hand, I have noticed that the sun continues to rise even if my favorite college team loses. I worry some of these people are headed out their their garage to start their '72 Mercury Comet with the garage door down, their car windows open, to take that final ride into the Sooner Sunset, where they will meet Billy Vessels.

Cecil you forgot the fact that his daughter has already been taken care of

Bryan from (former state capitol) Guthrie -

Take your meds! Chill. Two young men have modest injuries. Their moms did not die. They will go on to full, productive lives.

You might be suicidal over these events, but they aren't. Its part of the risk of the game.

Sheesh, the way some people act, you'd think it was 9/11/01 all over again.

This is entertainment, folks, not war. Some of you need to get a life.

Bryan, when you lose your job down at the Quickie Mart, I am sure Brody and Austin will be all broken up about it and post all sorts of woe-is-me posts on the "Quickie Mart Employees" blog site.

Unbelievable.

This season has officially become a tragic comedy.

One thing is sure, OU coaches will never make the mistake of thinking a football team only needs to field 22 players. From now on, OU's twos and threes should be as prepared, confident and hungry as the ones. If there is one thing Bob Stoops teams have shown, its that the step down to the back-ups is huge. That just can't be the case.

Everyone needs to be ready to play, and everyone needs to be geared up to seize the moment. Geared up. Amped. Ready to knock someone out.

We haven't been that way all year on offense. I heard OU coaches are thinking of making offensive linemen out of D-linemen. They've done it before. Some are even in the NFL. We need that attitude.

I agree with Richard 100%. I was with the Sooners during the down years, and this is nothing compared to that. If anyone on that team is thinking they want to quit, I would be totally shocked. They probably feel like their backs are against the wall, and it's time to prove that they ARE NOT going to quit. I wasn't proud of the offense against Nebraska, but I will bet that the guys on the sideline weren't either.

Bedlam is now a toss-up.

Cecil,Encitas, You're an A$$, your comment about the OU students, Two young men have been seriously injured and your making smartass jokes about their misfortune. By the way my daughter goes to school at OU and I know for a fact that she is saving herself til marriage

Down with the Sooner Nation!! Bummer Sooner!! Another overrated Sooner football team and its a shame the men's gymnastics team is better.

And gotta love fans like you, Richard. Caught the start of the Iowa
State/Iowa game earlier this year on T.V. ISU fans were going crazy wild, out of their seats and heads cheering for their team. Asked myself, "How do those poor Cyclones fans get up, year after year, when they know, without a doubt, how the season is going down?" Then I thought, "How many people ask themselves the same thing about us (OSU fans) when they catch a Cowboys game on televison?" Have personally had to answer the question too many times, "how do you root for OSU, year in, year out, when you've been let down so many times?" Answer is, my love and loyalty lies with my alma mater. Anyway, coulda done without the profanity, but really appreciate reading a response, like yours, that gets to why we LOVE college football, no matter our schools, tradition, etc. . . we fanatically cheer on the kids who sign with and play so dedicatedly for our schools because they've been sold on and, apparently, truly believe as we do that the dream (however delusional) of winning a championship might actually, one day, come true.

Funny, I picture Mack Brown with a set up of voodoo dolls of all of ou's team, And he's just poking the chit out of them down in austin...................

Teamless in Seattle, Boomer is right... OU will still pound OSU in the ground..

OU will still beat A&M and OSU in Norman, will probably lose in Lubbock. Finish 7-5, go to the Alamo Bowl, beat a weak Big 10 team, finish the season at 8-5, and then finally wake up from this nightmare. The most bizarre season in OU history. What's funny is that OSU still won't be able to beat OU, even if OU can barely field a team with all of these injuries.

Kenneth, that's Awesome! Hahahahahahahaha Uhhh, hahahahahaha. Mixing in a CaddyShack quote is what we all needed. I think Bob Stoops in earning his money and doing a great job. This is ridiculous.

Boomer, have the monkeys begun to fly from your butt, yet?

Even with the water boys filling in...OU will still beat OSU like a drum. That, Chris, is the OU spirit. We will never quit.

R A T F A R T S !!! (CaddyShack)

It can "always" get worse. Just ask SMU fans after getting the death penalty in 1987 and 1988.

At least there's going to be a season next year for OU fans. Since 1989 SMU has only defeated 2 ranked teams, has only 1 winning season, and is 58-153-3!

Quit Chris? Did you say they should quit? That is about the most pussified thing I have yet to read on these message boards. You dont quit just because things are not gong your way. Well you might, but that is absolute horse shit! Quitting is what a person does when they no longer have the guts or pride to compete because the prospect of losing over shadows the glory of victory. I dont know how players on teams that have not been .500 or better in years, such as Baylor, go out and do it year after year, but gotta love the heart of a warrior.

I think our team has been jinxed this season....clearly I think all of them need to sit out for the rest of the season!

comedy.

WOW What's going to happen next? D played great as usual. The hail mary pass looked like a jimmy junior high play! That wasn't our Sooner's who showed up in Lincoln. The worst football game I have seen on any level of play. Cowboy fans are foaming at the bit! Suck it up and beat A&M. GO SOONERS

Id call it a year to if i were these guys. You can only carry so much of a load before it wears on you.

Next, I expect the upper decks on both sides of the stadium to collapse down on the lower decks during the A&M game.

Then a bio-plague...

Did Stoops make some sort of Faustian bargain back in 1999 and the Devil now wants what is due to him?

We may be approaching the time when human sacrifice will be necessary to appease the Gods of Football. Except it will be difficult to find a virgin at OU (and Computer Science majors don't count).

It can't get any worse anyways

They are just tired of losing and "took a dive" to end their misery.

THis is crazy. Whats next? Losing English hurts a lot but losing Eldridge is huge. Too bad about the offense because OU's defense is playing at a champioship level. Beat A&M and Boomer Sooner.

Stoops is starting to look like the "Job" of college football...

this is absolutely incredible... sure sorry to hear about both of these young men.
