OU by 3, and that's pushing it. They have been in Miami enjoying the fun in the sun, so I really don't think they will perform very well. Usually, when they go to a bowl game, they end up wearing themselves out by partying too much.

Hmmmm....obviously the PAC-10 appears a little over-rated after tonights blow out loss to Tech. By the way, The score should've been Tech 45, Cal 24. Tech was dumb enough to give up a late touch down with little left on the clock. So the score ended up being 45 to 31. Anyways, Cal obviously showed they didn't deserve a BCS spot. Hooray for the Big 12!

Continue with you Orange Bowl picks!

I pick OU to win by 17.

Keith, I am not sure why you think we don't do good in bowl games. OUr record is 23-13-1 for bowl games. That's pretty dang good. We have 7 National Championships and that's tooting good. OUr OB stats are 12-5.

I know our stats vs. SuC aren't good=bad. But I think this is OUr year. OUr time to shine and I think we will show it in a few days. Coach Stoops will make sure we are ready.

Yes Cal looked succ last night, but maybe it did have to do with WR's hurt and the sting of the BCS. But, I still think that they are over-rated along with SuC. TT was game on and they played like they wanted to win.

I can't wait for Tuesday!!!!

BOOMER!!

I guess I am thinking back to the days of Barry Switzer, when his players partied too hard, got drunk, and then could not play worth a flip during the game. Then, of course, Switzer did not enforce curfews or anything else because he didn't care, whereas, Stoops has done an excellent job in the discipline area.

I hope this is OUr year :Smiley173

I wasn't trying to step on my moderators toes, Keith. :Smiley233

Just not sure why you thought that. Sorry if I did. I agree on the Switzer era. I partied a few times with a few guys on the team back then and it would be an all nighter, for all of us. :cheerlead

I know we did bad last year in the big 12 Champ and the Sugar Bowl, but I really think that was more because of injury than hang-over.

That's just my opinion though.

No, you didn't step on my toes :) . In my original post, I did not give a real reason as to why I felt the way I did. I never cared for Switzer because of his lack in disciplining the guys, and like you said, when they partied, it was an all nighter.

With that said......GO SOONERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beat USC
