@stephkuzy 8:39 p.m. Mike Stoops is jumping up and down, stomping the ground, throwing his hands. We need a Mike Stoops cam. It would be as good as the game.

@stephkuzy 9:34 p.m. Oklahoma just got hit by two penalties. Personal foul on Julian Wilson and then unsportsmanlike conduct from the OU bench.

@stephkuzy 9:35 p.m. Add Tavon Austin's 53 yard run to that and WVU ended up at the 15 which allowed Geno Smith to throw to Bailey for a TD. WVU 43, OU 38

@jasonkersey 9:37 p.m. It's WVU's fall break, and it kicked everyone out of the dorms yesterday. If this were a packed house, it'd be unreal right now #Sooners
