Oklahoma -3 @ Missouri

[BigDofBA]

we should have won the first game that year.

Are you talking about the game in which Mizzou was losing by 17 points with like 30 seconds to go and still had their starters in throwing the ball against OU's second string to score in the final seconds and only lose by 10? HAHAHA.

It was funny listening to Mizzou fans talk trash leading up to the Big 12 title game saying they should have won the first game. Then what happened???? 38-17.

Thanks for all the input guys!

Lack of attrition.. outside of Oregon there's nobody else worthy of the #1 ranking until after the LSU vs. Auburn matchup. Winner of that game should be considered the best team in the country based on their body of work.

As much as the eyeball test makes me want to play OU in this game, there's just so much history for disappointment there. Big Game Bob as he's sarcastically referred to isn't the best game manager in pressure situations. That being said I don't know if @ Mizzou could be considered a pressure cooker.

"Lack of attrition"?? That doesn't make sense. Don't you mean an "increase of attrition"?

Oregon has beaten one team with a winning record.

i'm talking about the game mizzou was winning after 3 quarters genius, when we dropped a pick in our end zone that allowed ou to take the lead in that game. and what do you want them to do at the end of the game, take a knee?

You realize a football game is four quarters correct?

Mizzou was up by one point heading into the forth quarter and OU scored like 2 minutes into the forth and never looked back. We were up by 17 points with 12 seconds to go in the game and Mizzou scored a meaningless touchdown against our backups to lose by 10 instead of 17.

Mizzou did not almost win that game. When you lose by double digits you didn't almost win. What's your excuse for the second game when OU won 38-17?

no i didn't realize that, thanks for the heads up though, thats why i thought mizzou won that game. i said we should have won, we should have picked a ball off before ou took the lead, what don't you understand. the final score doesn't reflect that obviously, i don't care, i think we should have won, you can disagree.

and who said anything about excuses, ou beat us, it happens when teams are better

Who cares about 2007 anyway.

OU is #1 and Mizzou is #11. This is a big game. Good luck.

I hope we see a good game Saturday.

[gamble]

ha good point, this will be a good game in my opinion, i don't think i'll be betting it because i can see it going both ways, i'll be content with just being at the game. good luck to you as well though

[BigDofBA]

I can see it going both ways as well. Mizzou has a solid team and they're fun to watch.

This isn't a great OU team by Stoop's standards either. While I think OU should win, it's definitely a losable game.

I feel like the 3 point spread is a little lower than it should be but I don't really see a reason to bet this game either.

[Uncle Harv]

You've been on this forum for a long time and I'd expect something more intelligent from your post.
Name one team that wouldn't take Stoops if he decided he didn't want to coach at OU anymore.
Furthermore the big games that you refer to were most likely the national championship games. To even get to that many championship games requires that you win big games

I second that

[gamble]

yea this would be the year for a close game all the way through finally, with ou being somewhat down (still ranked 1 ha), but i agree if oklahoma brings its A game i think they should win this one.

yea thats my thinking, no reason to bet this one

[pantala]

I definitely think MU has a chance to win this game - any time you're playing a more talented team (as MU is doing Saturday), you MUST be able to compete in the trenches. Our O-line and our defense is mature and experienced; that's why I think we could win this. IF WE WIN THIS, we should be top 5, no questions asked.
However, you do have to look at history. OU has won the last 19/20. You said you can't consider 2008? That was TWO YEARS ago- you're telling me we lost a game by 40 points to Oklahoma, and now just two years later, we're evenly matched?

I know it's at home, I know it's a national game. I know we could win. I just think that when you get down to, OU is a better, more physical team.

I'm heading up to Columbia tomorrow afternoon. Going to hit up GameDay and the game. Looking forward to a absolutely crazy atmosphere. I've got no dog in this fight, but I'm not sure a young Sooners team is going to know what hit them when they go out there Saturday night.

how can you consider 2007 (not 2008) when those offenses featured 2 heisman finalists that are no longer with the team, its 2 completely different teams. the players making a difference that year are in the NFL now, so I don't see the comparison as relevant

but i do agree ou has owned mizzou and are a more talented team, but this will be a good game in my opinion

[pantala]

agreed- should be a good game. can't wait for tomorrow! one of the reasons I bet OU is that if MU wins, I'm not going to give a damn about anything else while I'm running on the field and helping to tear those posts down

[goblue12]

Down to 2.5 at CRIS.

[BigDofBA]

Down to 2.5 at CRIS.

It started at 2.5 at Bookmaker and now it's up to 3 there.

[moses millsap]

mizzou for me

[ryanjep]

i feel like this is going to come down to the wire

[hostile takeover]

I'll see you in Columbia this weekend. Prepare for a beatdown.

I am a Mizzou grad student; I've been to or watched every game this year, and I'm hitting OU with 100% of my account. Our defense is improved? Absolutely. Holding A&M to 9 points and CU to 0 is impressive. Our offense has looked good? Yeah, it's looked good. Our O-line is much better than it's been in a long time, and that's a very underrated aspect. We haven't been as flashy as the Chase Daniel Era but we're a better all-around team. These things matter when you're playing a less talented team. I was at the game in San Antonio when we lost to OU by 40 two years ago. I could see us beating OU by up to 10; it's our best chance in the last 15 years. I could also see Oklahoma winning by 20. We look good, sure; our corners are playing out of this world. My recommendation, as an avid MU fan, is to hammer Oklahoma. Don't get fooled.

[gamble]

haha had to bump this thread, with people saying they went all in on ou, great game though, took the goal posts to the streets after the game

[k13]

Maybe you should have been scared of this line.

I love when people say, -3 and line not moving , everyone on the other side, it does not mean anything. game is played on the field.

sometimes squares get lucky but not this time.

sooners were crushed that was sweet
