GOOD GAME TONIGHT

[rjtide]

I have no idea what to expect. I don't think the Sooners can count on three turnovers and a missed field goal, so it will be tough. Norman has seen a lot of big games over the last 100 years, tonight might be the biggest since the old Big Eight days.
A close game with no injuries is what I'm hoping for.
Merry Christmas and safe travels. Norman is ready for a huge crowd.

Was at the game. Tremendous atmosphere. I honestly did not encounter 1 obnoxious okla fan……very classy all the way around

 

[Tidewater]

I’m shocked, shocked, to see that WishboneSooner hasn’t showed up to tell us that this was a good game…

Yeah, give him time.
I'll tell you what, in the 1st Qtr, those fellers showed up to play football. Not sure what happened thereafter, but in the 1st qtr those guys were on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich.

 

[Dmac62]

You are a class act. Honestly, I didn't think we could come back from 17 points down, but this Alabama team has grit.

 

[DrollTide]

Being a dual-citizen on a single nation forum is a tough walk to walk, but Sooner manages it. I'm sure he will be back.

Meanwhile, the eternal truth applies to both teams - you're not as good as you think you are when you win, or as bad as you think you are when you lose.

After Oklahoma beat us in November, he posted immediately after the game. We beat them and crickets.

It looks like the key to winning an Ala/Ok game is to have less 1st downs, less rushing yards, less receiving yards, less time of possession and less plays.

Dean Smith wrote about this issue of “visiting the opposing team’s locker room after beating them” in his autobiography. He told of an opposing coach they faced frequently (so I assume it was another ACC team) who didn’t often enjoy success against UNC. On one occasion, this unnamed team and coach beat UNC, and that coach showed up in the UNC locker room all happy and congratulating UNC on a hard fought game. The next time they played, UNC avenged the loss, and the same coach was nowhere to be seen in UNC’s locker room, indicating the coach’s true class and sportsmanship (or lack thereof). That story made an impression on me and ever after has informed my behavior.

 

[CrimsonTheory]

My uncle is a BIG OU fan and he called 30 minutes after the game to send congrats to Bama. He made no excuses, and gave credit for Bama for showing the fight needed to survive and advance.

Wishbone has been around since the franphony years. He will be back. Gotta be a tough loss if you are a spooner fan really. We needed this game and showed up when we had to.

He’ll be back…but he was back immediately after they won…optics not so good there…no hard feelings, but consistency would garner more respect.

 

[Jack Bourbon]

He probably needed to run to best buy to pick up another tv.

To be fair, the first game ended maybe around 7 pm.
This one STARTED around 7pm.

But we'll see.

Despite the backslaps it's been that way for two-plus decades...

 

[Padreruf]

I've got an idea...why don't we all send him a private message telling him we miss him since the game? Can you imagine having to open 50 messages or so from fans of the team that just knocked you out of the playoffs?

 

[Bazza]

LOL.......

24 hour rule

May have gone to bed or had something come up.

It’s been almost 36 hours now so I retract this.

Should have said something by now after the immediate response after game one.

Would take less than a minute.

This is now up there with the ‘We should be happy for Tenn fans’ comment after the 2022 Knoxville game for me.

I mean read the room and be aware of your audience and follow some rules of sportsmanship.

Eh whatever I’m losing patience with ‘Rival’ fans Bazza Exluded (He’s cool).

Two things. First, @Bazza is awesome. I feel for the guy after the year Florida has had. No fan should have to deal with that. Second, I don't really care if Wishbone Sooner comes back or not. That's a "him" thing. If he does, respect. If he doesn't, apathy.

I do miss B1GTide, though. Too bad he pitched a hissy and got das boot.

Yeah but he has basketball. Hes fine.

B1G? That guy. I don’t miss him, and I don’t miss a broken toe, having to eat broccoli as a kid or uncontrollable diarrhea either.

I obviously didn't deal with him from the mod side. Lol.
