I wanted my team to play better but that wasn't happening. Stoops wanted to get revenge on A&M and he got it. Could he have scored more than 77? Sure, he could have named his score. FWIW the hurry up drive at the end of the 1st Half to make it 49-0 is when our team quit completely, might as well have not come out for the 2nd half. We sucked arse. If you think that 77-0 isn't running up the score then fine, I don't really care because it was A&M's job to stop you and we couldn't. Props.

So once again why are you so obsessed with that game long ago? What possible relevance does it have to anything now? It seems to be the main retort you guys come up with when talking about A&M and you talk about it more than any other game here. It's literally no more relevant than talking about the John Blake era as if that is OU's destiny.

A&M isn't going anywhere. We have more money than you, better facilities than you, a better coach than you, and better recruiting than you. That is unlikely to change anytime soon. Enjoy your swan song playing JV ball in the Big 12. You guys better figure out how to recruit some legit OL and DL though if you want to compete in the SEC and quit focusing on 7 on 7 style players putting up Arena football numbers. That isn't going to fly here if you intend on winning more than 8 games.

You keep posting about this game, and telling OU fans not to post about it. The posts you've gotten in return are because of this nonsense about running up the score. Before the "hurry up" with 1:21 to go in the half when OU got the ball at the 50, came after A&M went: run, pass, pass. Why didn't A&M just run the ball and go into the locker room? I don't think I've ever seen a CFB fan who claimed one power 5 team ran up the score in the first half against another power 5 team. Anyone with a lick of football knowledge knows OU did the opposite of running it up. You trying to change historical facts is why I'm posting about the game. But, making up history is something aggy loves to do.

And it's always funny to see aggy claim the Big 12 is a lesser league when aggy won it one time. Aggy barely wohn 50% of their Big 12 games. Aggy lost more in the Big 12 conference than in the SEC. Keep yourself warm at night with your silly notion that OU is a 7 on 7 team, put fake championships on your stadium, and await your place behind OU and Texas in the SEC standings, same as it ever was.

How would you compare it to A&M beating Baylor 73-10 a month earlier when A&M scored 14 in the 4th Q? Care to address whether passers were thrown by A&M late in that game?


Just wanted to hop in and say how hilarious it is that Baylor lost to a team by 63 points that lost the next week by 77

Can you imagine being a Baylor fan?

Oh, we have definitely underachieved more. I wouldn't argue that for a second. That was kind of the point of my post actually.

We managed to tread water enough while underachieving and throw a few good to great stretches in there. Enough to keep us in the game until we got our shite together, which may be the case right now.

The potential is there. That's technically an opinion but there are so many observable metrics behind that (wallet, alumni base, facilities, recruiting, loyal/crazed fans, etc.), it's pretty damn close to a fact. To argue that basic point would be pretty silly.

And to be honest, while Texas was obviously better over the stretch, to call the metrics you listed "really bad" is pretty fricking stupid.

Ok bud, Stoops mercifully put up only 77 points on A&M. Happy?

As for the Big 12 you seem to be missing the minor bit about how A&M, Nebraska, Colorado, and Missouri left and were replaced with TCU and West Virginia. Prior to that point it was a legit league, after it was a glorified Group of 5.

FWIW the SWC was much better prior to Arkie leaving. A&M dominated from that point on in the conference but it was basically beating up on midgets. We would blow through the conference and then lose in the postseason when it mattered. Kind of reminds me of someone...

Imagine white-knighting for Baylor.

Stoops was so butthurt about A&M ruining their '02 season. Hopefully he's over it by now especially considering how many times his program lucked out getting to play for natties in the 2000s.

They went to a perpetual game clock & still notched 77 on you.

That shite does not happen in modern football. Period.

With OU who can barley beat Tulane and Texas who squeaks by Louisiana coming?

You have already been left behind. You are going to get worked in the SEC, you can barely survive a B12 cupcake schedule now.

It wasn’t an OU fan who brought that game up here.

Like other Sooners here I was only responding to the ridiculous claim that we ran up the score.

Baylor has a .329 winning percentage against A&M
A&M has a .335 winning percentage against Texas

I think it's probably pretty easy for aggy to imagine being a Baylor fan, I mean, minus the recent men's BB National Championship and conference football championships within the last couple decades.

Like I already said, Stoops was very merciful in only making the score 77-0. Should have gotten a sportsmanship award the more I think about it. Fortunately my soon to be Aggie son doesn't remember the Fran era so he didn't have to live through that.

He was with me at the Cotton Bowl the last time we played though and remembers it very well.

There is a reason the Aggie admin and coaches pitched a fit when it was leaked That Oklahoma and TexASS were Joint the sec. they don’t want to be upstaged by two new teams that perennially beat the aggies like a rented mule.....

Do I really have to explain to you why that makes absolutely no sense?
