That is pretty funny, but a total waist of money. This will not affect the voters in any way. The argument can go on forever about which team is more deserving to be ranked higher in the BCS in order to play in the Big XII Championship game. Yes, Texas beat them head-to-head. Yes, Texas lost to Tech. Yes, Oklahoma blew out Tech. Who knows who should be ranked higher?
I think Texas students and fans need to worry about their team blowing out A&M tonight, rather than trying to persuade the voters. If they want to convince the polls that they are more deserving, they should put a beatdown on A&M. Apparently the voters who have Oklahoma ahead of Texas do not care much about the 45-35 win. They are looking at that Oklahoma team that completely shut down a very good Tech team. So why waist money on doing something that will probably just fire up Oklahoma?
Because if anything, I think this will piss the OU fans off - and players for that matter. It could get ugly in Stillwater Saturday..

Yep, my ol' ladies rich daddy's really upset with me for losing that 3rd estate up in Beverly Hills. Contrary to what you saw - that Texas A&M team is horrible. Takin' nothin' away from Texas - but A&M was the worst team I've seen along with Washington State. I didn't see A&M do nothing at all. I don't care how good Texas is - A&M could have done a little bit more than that. That was just a whole lot more terrible defense coming from one of those awful Big 12 bottom feeders. I'll give credit to Texas for doing what they had to do. But, that coach at A&M really needs to go. He doesn't understand college football at all.

And if OU looses, Mack Brown should live up to what he says.. OU looses, they are out. Tech goes to Big 12 Championship and likely wins. Then they should leap to #2 in BCS definately ahead of Texas... Right Mack? thats what you've been preaching,,, head to head... 45 to 35... well 39 to 33 is just as good. Be consistent Longhorns, If you deserve to be ahead of OU with identical records then Tech deserves to be ahead of you. Moreover Tech would have a Big 12 south division crown, a Big 12 Championship, a win over Texas and only one loss,, How can Longhorn fan or coach possibly claim they should be ahead of them? I'm sure Mack will flip flop faster than John Kerry if OU looses saturday and this head to head argument will be gone.

Raider nation conveniently forgets how close lowly Nebraska came to beating Tech AT HOME! Just be glad you won the game against UT. It made your year. But that;s about it. Try and be more capable when you play with the Big Boys. Tech slipped by Texas and then beat OSU. WOW. Two games in a row. Then after a week off gets killed by OU. Texas Beats Arkansas, OU, Missouri, OSU and then at the end of 7 straight weeks of football, loses to Tech on the last play of game. Let's just see where the Bowl Committees send Texas and where they send Tech. Happy Thanksgiving.

So Bevo Ed is a fan of the BCS this year. Makes sense for a "talk out of both sides of the mouth" Longhorn fan. I didnt convienently forget anything sir. Change the subject all you want, but we won all of our games except one, just like OU, and Texas. Be thankful for the following this year: (1)Texas and OU football programs have been better in past years, (2) Texas and OU lost earlier than Texas Tech
because those 2 factors are the major criteria for our situation, not 45-35.
I know what I am thankful for! No matter how many phantom penalties waved orColt "Jesus" McCoy comeback drives we still beat you and that may have to be enought for me. Nice seeing some folks out here have a voice of reason

How can you argue we got a fluke win??? No one is saying we deserve to play for the N.C., but if that is the case you do not either. You are arguing yourself in circles bevo boy, because that is what it is.....a circle. It must be nice to pick and choose your way through facts. I am not soon to forget the Texas game where we dominated in total yards, total defense, total time of possession, and most importantly TOTAL POINTS. I felt quite satisfied knowing that we did not only conquer the mighty longhorns but we also conquered the mighty refs in that game. I still have not gotten an explanantion as to why they picked up that flag for block in the back on Shipley's pseudo punt return. I guess the refs thought since he scored they should pick up the flag. You should also tell your cornerback to hit the weight room so he could maybe tackle a grown man like crab.

Some advice for both teams; quit putting Nobody University on your non-conference schedule. It looks like OU's victories over Cincinnati and TCU are gonna be the difference maker. Maybe Sooner fans cant yell SCOREBOARD! but the can yell STRENGTH-OF-SCHEDULE!!!
Bevo_Boy
· 1 year ago
Well, first of all, I consider a fluke win to be one where one team got lucky to beat a team that is better than they are. Tech definitely played the better game, but needed help in the form of a dropped interception to win the game (I'm leaving out the missed tackle because, despite how bad Tech's kicking game is, I think they would have made that field goal). Texas played a terrible game (part of it was because of Tech, they deserve that credit), and still should have won that game. Tech by no means, however, dominated total points; they had to score on the play of the game to outscore Texas.
If your thought is that any loss makes you ineligible to win the NC, then I guess you think that Utah should play Boise State for the NC, because there won't be any undefeateds from a BCS conference, IMO. My thought is that Tech proved that they don't deserve to play for the NC because they were destroyed by OU by 40+ points, whereas Texas got beat by Tech on the last play of the game.

I sometimes wonder if the NFL has it right. Scores are meaningless except against common opponents in tiebreakers and Vegas. It's about the 'W' (dubya).
If NCAAFB had a playoff, would people (fans= fanatics) still cling to the regular season season scores? It's all about MOMENTUM. Example: If the Cowboys beat the Giants twice during the REGULAR season, what makes you think they could win in the the post-season? Pick a more deserving team from a (perceived) stronger conference/division for a playoff opponent. Patriots (undefeated) CRUSHED the 'Pokes = Pokes CRUSHED the Giants - 2X! No way Giants have a chance. Impossible! On top of that, the Giants can't even win their own division! They have no chance.
If NCAAFB had a playoff, would the controversy dry up? Dunno. Personally, I like controversy. I realize these kids are not professionals ('cept for Miami - j/k :-) ) but might we just abandon the regular season? I doubt the Cowboy fans are beating their chests that they beat the SB champion Giants 2X in the regular season.
Guess I'm just thinking out loud... err, I mean online. What'cha guys think?

This arguement has resurfaced multiple times on this forum. We could however institute a playoff type format using the existing bowls This would not diminish the importance of the regular season Then fans could gripe and complain about who's #8 or #9 instead of who's #2 or #3 For example so far this season 08 Bama 11-0 Texas 11-1 Fla 10-1 OU 10-1 Tex Tech 10-1 USC 10-1 Utah 12-0 PSU 10-1 Take the top 8 = 4 big bowls round 1 played between teams that have not faced each other then winners face off round two 2 big bowls
2 teams left Nat Champ game- so everybody is happy- except maybe Boise and perhaps the Big-E champ and ACC champ so there would still be contraversy and debates Sicem Bears

When the BCS champion holds up the crystal football in Miami on January 8th, it will be for 2008 season champion, not November 2008. I do appreciate the Sooners taking TTech out of consideration for the game in Miami. Now that we are down the Sooner and Longhorns, its 45-35.

I don't understand that logic. Why does 39-33 merit no value? It's not logical to take the OU beatdown on Tech to eliminate Tech from the South equation when that same Tech team beat UT. The BCS isn't a buffet where you get to pick-and-choose which games are valid. A decision must be made based on the whole platter presented.

Hey raidernation I've been saying Hookem-Horns and Sicem-Bears for years and I also like the Rice Owls, Yall's vicory over the Horns was the biggest game and greatest win in the history of the Texas Tech football program. Had Texas won that game it woulda just been another win over a top ten team-no big deal, thats just the way it is for Texas fans. Cling on to that vicory for as long as you can,because its been a long time coming. I actually pull for yall when yall play OU or in a bowl. BTW In last nights game 10 minutes left in the 4th- Mack Daddy put in second string, Freshman and let some seniors get some playing time- That wont happen with Leach or Stoops who like to run up scores and pad stats and get so-called style points.

I agree that TTech should go to the XII champ game and play Missu- Texas whuped Missu- OK St beat Missu The BU Bears lost on a last minute feild goal 31-28 against the Tigers. Check this out- 3 way tie in XII south Tech get past Bears-Texas already beat them Tech get past Missu-Texas already beat them OU get past OK St- Texas already beat them Texas Tech was humiliated by the Sooners at Norman Texas beat the Sooners by ten points in Dallas Texas lost a close one in Lubbock and have never been dominated or whuped by anybody both Texas Tech and Oklahoma have. Texas Tech by Oklahoma and Oklahoma by Texas. If Texas Tech somehow gets past the Bears and Tigers they will be the third best 1 loss team from the south and they can go to a good bowl, but those games havent been played yet. Texas has already beaten both of those teams- funny how yall forget that.

Pretty sad if Texas Tech wins today, Texas stays at #2 and plays in Big 12 championship, then goes on to play Florida in NC game and win (not that it would) while Texas Tech falls to Cotton Bowl to play Ole Miss cause we dont deserve to be ahead of OU in the other BCS game. Then Texas Tech would have a shot at being the team that beat the National Champions and the team that beat Ole Miss, who in turn beat the Gators.

Hey NML I have never made any excuses- I call it like I see it. I thought that the Sooners played an outstanding game in Dallas. Don't you agree? Texas Tech has a good team and they can on occasion win a game at home against a good opponent. Do you believe in homefeild advantage and mometum- you should the Sooners have 2 losses at home in 9 years. Who were those two teams ? TTech & OSU- I cant remember maybe TCU- doesnt matter I've been watching OU and TTech games this year, you probably have too. I saw TTech whup SMU, great game- they whuped that team from the bottom of C-USA impressive. I also saw them bareley get past Nebraska and Texas A&M This year I saw some great CFB games and you got to remember to dance with the one that brung you. For example TCU got behind early against OU and changed their gameplan, went from running to passing and it got worse for Pattersons Frogs. Same thing for Leach's Raiders on the road- hostile crowd got behind, couldnt get anything going and it got worse. I'm glad the Sooners had TCU this year and yall finally beat them and its about time yall beat the Raiders too- congrats Its kinda funny because every year Sooner fans try to compare competition like last year we beat Miami and yall didnt play anybody- TCU they aint nobody, now this year thats yall's signature win. head to head last year OU beat Texas, Texas beat Texas Tech and Texas Tech beat OU----- now this year Texas Tech beat Texas and Texas beat OU and OU beat Texas Tech Looks like there are some tough teams in the XII south and Texas has won 3 outa the last 4 against OU & Tech Hookem-Horns #1 in the XII

Tomcat:
After two years of eating nothing but treebark and pinecones - the treehuggers finally came down about two months back. Rumor has it that they were so hungary that they headed for their nearest Black Angus and wolfed down as many cattle as humanly possible. I guess that living like hamsters for long periods of time, can turn even the most avid treehugger, into one of the most ferocious carnivours this side of a primitive T-Rex.

what is dizzou08? are you a mizzou fan or an ou fan....doesn't matter though we beat both of you , and know matter what happens in the bcs today, texas will either be in the bcs bowl or the fiesta bowl and be gunning for 5 straight bowl wins, including 2 rose bowls. thats a good bowl record , better than any othe big 12 team lately...texas brings the crowds and brings home the wins.. why don't you have a look at other big 12 teams and their previous bowl records.

i was really impressed with OUs offense against okie state. but their defense did not play as well as everyone has been buiding them up to be. those baylor bears will be tough the next few years, griffen reminds me of vince. bottom line , 2 big 12 teams from the south will get the shaft today and 1 will be sent to play a 3 loss mizzou

Saturday nights game in Stillwater was just a show of which two universities could buy the best Texas talent. As usual, the team from Norman had the best Lone Star players. Okla St. had 15 starters from Texas. wonder where the other seven were from?

I am an OU fan. Thats for sure. I think the name gives it away. I do feel the pain from Texas and Tech. I feel great about the B12 CG, and great about a NC berth, just hope they play like they want it this time. But answer me this, won or lost badly, who wouldnt want to have been in three NC games in the last 8 yrs. I hope we represent the Big 12 well in Miami. Boomer Sooners!!!!!!

I think Texas students and fans need to worry about their team blowing out A&M tonight, rather than trying to persuade the voters. If they want to convince the polls that they are more deserving, they should put a beatdown on A&M. Apparently the voters who have Oklahoma ahead of Texas do not care much about the 45-35 win. They are looking at that Oklahoma team that completely shut down a very good Tech team. So why waist money on doing something that will probably just fire up Oklahoma?
Because if anything, I think this will piss the OU fans off - and players for that matter. It could get ugly in Stillwater Saturday..
I just think the plane deal is a little too much..creative - but a waist of money.
That's just my opinion, though.
Congrats on the win, however. And best of luck with the BCS..
Maybe the 5 million "45-35" signs + the plane will work in your favor......
;)
And wow. I feel like a complete idiot because I spelled waste wrong. I swear I know the difference between the two....guess I've just had a little too much of something today..
..Turkey, I mean ... ;)
I'm rollin' with the Aggies and those 35 points. I just can't let that one pass me by. I'm wagerin' my wife's rich daddy's 3rd estate in Beverly Hills on the game. And, we're loadin' up the truck and we're movin' to .......... It's payday!
UT looked pretty good tonight.
I hope USC looks even better Saturday against Charlie Cheeseburger!
The Horns can beat the Aggs seven years in a row and we dont print shirts about it.
BTW The Aggies gave it 100% and played one heck of a game, They always get fired up for the Texas game and so does everybody else.
Hookem-Horns
Yep, my ol' ladies rich daddy's really upset with me for losing that 3rd estate up in Beverly Hills. Contrary to what you saw - that Texas A&M team is horrible. Takin' nothin' away from Texas - but A&M was the worst team I've seen along with Washington State. I didn't see A&M do nothing at all. I don't care how good Texas is - A&M could have done a little bit more than that. That was just a whole lot more terrible defense coming from one of those awful Big 12 bottom feeders. I'll give credit to Texas for doing what they had to do. But, that coach at A&M really needs to go. He doesn't understand college football at all.
three top programs that went to bowls in 07- fired their coach
Now 2008
Michigan
Arkansas
Texas A&M
Hey if KSU can bring back Snyder how about R.C Slokum at ATM?
I would have to respectfully disagree that the aggies played one heck of a game........
BTW I was at the game and it set a new attendance record, biggest crowd in the state of Texas 98,000+. Some guy standing next to me, not wearing orange or maroon- said he was a tOSU fan and came to see the rivalry. He said that we were all to nice to one-another.
BTW I saw someone holding up a sign that said- Its Thankgiving and OU still sux.
Hookem-Horns
Some dude was holding it and I laughed my ass off.
Not as much as much as the sign: If pooing your pant is cool, consider me JoPa
Is this a waste of money? Perhaps. But much like the Great Clandestine College of Charleston Watergun War of 1995, stuff like this is what being a crazy college kid that loves their school is about.
It's about pranks, being young, and HAVING FUN. And waiting till the night before to cram.

Let me know how it goes, everyone. >:-)
(1)Texas and OU football programs have been better in past years,
(2) Texas and OU lost earlier than Texas Tech
because those 2 factors are the major criteria for our situation, not 45-35.
I know what I am thankful for! No matter how many phantom penalties waved orColt "Jesus" McCoy comeback drives we still beat you and that may have to be enought for me. Nice seeing some folks out here have a voice of reason
If your thought is that any loss makes you ineligible to win the NC, then I guess you think that Utah should play Boise State for the NC, because there won't be any undefeateds from a BCS conference, IMO. My thought is that Tech proved that they don't deserve to play for the NC because they were destroyed by OU by 40+ points, whereas Texas got beat by Tech on the last play of the game.
If NCAAFB had a playoff, would people (fans= fanatics) still cling to the regular season season scores? It's all about MOMENTUM. Example: If the Cowboys beat the Giants twice during the REGULAR season, what makes you think they could win in the the post-season? Pick a more deserving team from a (perceived) stronger conference/division for a playoff opponent. Patriots (undefeated) CRUSHED the 'Pokes = Pokes CRUSHED the Giants - 2X! No way Giants have a chance. Impossible! On top of that, the Giants can't even win their own division! They have no chance.
If NCAAFB had a playoff, would the controversy dry up? Dunno. Personally, I like controversy. I realize these kids are not professionals ('cept for Miami - j/k :-) ) but might we just abandon the regular season? I doubt the Cowboy fans are beating their chests that they beat the SB champion Giants 2X in the regular season.
Guess I'm just thinking out loud... err, I mean online. What'cha guys think?
We could however institute a playoff type format using the existing bowls
This would not diminish the importance of the regular season
Then fans could gripe and complain about who's #8 or #9 instead of who's #2 or #3
For example so far this season 08
Bama 11-0
Texas 11-1
Fla 10-1
OU 10-1
Tex Tech 10-1
USC 10-1
Utah 12-0
PSU 10-1
Take the top 8 = 4 big bowls round 1 played between teams that have not faced each other
then winners face off round two 2 big bowls
2 teams left Nat Champ game- so everybody is happy- except maybe Boise and perhaps the Big-E champ and ACC champ so there would still be contraversy and debates
Sicem Bears
so, if we ever get a playoff, are they gonna stick ut, ou, and tt in the same bracket? kinda like the end of the season, huh? hopefully, that won't happen.
how bad ass was it that ut and aTm played for our soldiers? and aTm with the 4th ID patch! i "hate" aTm as a tech fan, but as a soldier myself, mad respect. thanks!
Saw a sign at the game last night
Its Thanksgiving and OU still sux
Saw another one that said
I'm Thankful I'm not an Aggie
one more
Colt HE IS- the- MAN
Poor Aggies- you aint got to get a touchdown to kiss your girfriend- heck just get a first down
Hookem-Horns
Sicem-Bears
I do appreciate the Sooners taking TTech out of consideration for the game in Miami.
Now that we are down the Sooner and Longhorns, its 45-35.
This is CFB aint no fairness involved
for example 06 Oklahoma vs Nebraska XII game two teams that lost to Texas
07 OU beat Texas Texas beat Texas Tech Texas Tech beat OU OU goes
08 Texas beat OU Texas Tech beat Texas OU beat Texas Tech
Texas beat OU 3 outa the last 4 years
Texas beat TTech 3 outa the last 4 years
shouldnt the best team be represented, if Tech beats BU then they can play Missu- Texas already beat them, they done beat BU and OK st and KU so they can go ahead and have their champ game Texas has already played those teams and won
Sicem-Bears
Go Cowboys
Go Owls
Auburn has won 6 of last 7 from Bama. Obviously they're the more talented team year in year out. Todays win was a fluke. Fluke! Fluke, I say!
BTW In last nights game 10 minutes left in the 4th- Mack Daddy put in second string, Freshman and let some seniors get some playing time- That wont happen with Leach or Stoops who like to run up scores and pad stats and get so-called style points.
Hookem-Horns
Sicem Bears
That really makes no difference because yall lost to Texas
whether yall run up scores on opponents or not, Texas beat OU
Mack Daddy is a man of character- he wasnt trying to run up the score on anybody all season long- including the 45 they hung on yall

Guess head to head matchups are not really important anymore
we can just look at polls and style points against commomn opponents and throw out games played between two teams during the same season on neutral ground, because some fans etc- have memory loss or are in denial.
What I saw was two great teams battle it out on the feild and there was a definate winner. So now several weeks later- lets forget that?
OU aint beat OK st or Missu Texas has OU lost to Texas
TTech hasnt beat BU or Missu Texas Has TTech lost to OU
I saw one team have a bad day Texas at TTech, couldnt execute, just wasnt jellin and a dropped int and a missed tackle, one second on the clock lose a close one on the road.
All three are good teams- that said

Was it a fluke when OU whuped TTech?
was the UT vs OU game already played
After watching the air heads on TV, I thought my memory may have been slipping. In the game I watched,Texas beat Oklahoma 45-35.
But I thought UT's 45-35 win over OU trumped everything?
No UT LOST to TT, WHO IS ALSO TIED WITH OU & UT for the south division title.
So that's why head to head doesn't calculate?
Correct.
The BU Bears lost on a last minute feild goal 31-28 against the Tigers.
Check this out- 3 way tie in XII south
Tech get past Bears-Texas already beat them
Tech get past Missu-Texas already beat them
OU get past OK St- Texas already beat them
Texas Tech was humiliated by the Sooners at Norman
Texas beat the Sooners by ten points in Dallas
Texas lost a close one in Lubbock and have never been dominated or whuped by anybody both Texas Tech and Oklahoma have. Texas Tech by Oklahoma and Oklahoma by Texas.
If Texas Tech somehow gets past the Bears and Tigers they will be the third best 1 loss team from the south and they can go to a good bowl, but those games havent been played yet. Texas has already beaten both of those teams- funny how yall forget that.
Oklahoma gets to play the Cowboys- ya Texas done beat them too- Sooners havent
Texas regular season is over 11-1
Hookem-Horns the #1 team from the XII
Sad day for Raider fans
BU Bears coming to Lubbock
Sicem-Bears
Next year they will get yall.
It was purty close
Good Luck in yalls future
That's why you play the regular season, to see who is the better team. OU just has no way to win the South outright, so he's (can this be considered a valid argument) arguing that OU is better now?
Is Tomcat's argument still that ridiculous? Look at what he's up against
I thought that the Sooners played an outstanding game in Dallas. Don't you agree?
Texas Tech has a good team and they can on occasion win a game at home against a good opponent.
Do you believe in homefeild advantage and mometum- you should the Sooners have 2 losses at home in 9 years.
Who were those two teams ? TTech & OSU- I cant remember maybe TCU- doesnt matter
I've been watching OU and TTech games this year, you probably have too. I saw TTech whup SMU, great game- they whuped that team from the bottom of C-USA impressive.
I also saw them bareley get past Nebraska and Texas A&M
This year I saw some great CFB games and you got to remember to dance with the one that brung you.
For example TCU got behind early against OU and changed their gameplan, went from running to passing and it got worse for Pattersons Frogs. Same thing for Leach's Raiders on the road- hostile crowd got behind, couldnt get anything going and it got worse.
I'm glad the Sooners had TCU this year and yall finally beat them and its about time yall beat the Raiders too- congrats
Its kinda funny because every year Sooner fans try to compare competition like last year we beat Miami and yall didnt play anybody- TCU they aint nobody, now this year thats yall's signature win. head to head last year OU beat Texas, Texas beat Texas Tech and Texas Tech beat OU----- now this year Texas Tech beat Texas and Texas beat OU and OU beat Texas Tech
Looks like there are some tough teams in the XII south and Texas has won 3 outa the last 4 against OU & Tech
Hookem-Horns #1 in the XII
Had Arkansas this year,an SEC opponent that beat the Nat champs not a MWC school from Ft Worth- Colo on the road, thats right the same Colo that beat yall last year.
Funny that last year yall beat Miami who finished 5-7 and that was bigger than UT's win over TCU
Rice is Bowl bound and just beat Houston.
Hookem Horns #1 in the XII
http://www.39-33.com/
wonderful year for the XII- especially the south
looking at the BE against the XII
UConn over BU really close BU shoulda won
OU over Cinn OU whuped them
Colo over WV that same Colo that lost to FSU,UT & A&M
BTW did yall ever get those hippys out of those trees?
