Yokelhoma

I'm convinced OU could beat Bama 10 times in a row and Bama fans would say they handed us the game all 10 times.

Actually think OU and Bama are very comparable, even though Bama fans have been much more spoiled recently with Saban. Both fanbases are used to winning and dominating their conference, so you get a lot of high expectations from people who don’t feel like they need to make noise to help the team win, as well as a bit of arrogance that blue blood fans tend to have over other fanbases. I see similar complaints about old people sitting on their hands from both Bama and OU fans.

Having said all that, both fanbases can get very loud when the moment or opponent is right. But they won’t be consistently as loud as the less successful programs who are known for it.

Our offense is mediocre at best, but I do find it funny how Bama’s offense had a very similar game against OU’s defense as OU’s offense had against LSU’s defense, but the talking points are completely different.

Somehow Bama really won that game that they lost and OU really lost that game that they won.

So it's your opinion that Bama has purposefully played like shite the last two games against worse defenses than OU's in order for us to not know your gameplan.

Bold strategy, but it appears to be working. I didn't even know it was possible for a blueblood to have -3 rushing yards in a game.

Yeah, we know and we are. But thanks for the support.

Is this a prediction that OU misses the CFP this year?

That is incredible value for OU. If Mateer stops throwing picks then we can beat anyone in the country. So hopefully he, you know, stops throwing picks.

OU fan here, not sure if I’m allowed to post. I was 11 when that NCG took place and didn’t go to the game, so I have no idea how true the twitter story is.

I will say that literally every single person from Oklahoma City that my family knew that went to the game all came back saying it was the worst experience they have ever had with an opposing fanbase.

No stories like that from 2019 (what a beatdown) or last year, so I think it was just a combo of it being in New Orleans and the first time LSU had won a title in 50 years.

Bama had 130 yards in the second half once Venables adjusted, most of y’all’s yards came in the first half from taking advantage of empty space where pressure was coming from. Once our D realized this and changed up looks, Bama couldn’t really do much—there were also a LOT of 3rd downs where Bama extended the drive by the skin of their teeth, so it could have been even worse.

I’d feel more confident in a rematch, OU isn’t giving up 400 yards to Bama again.

Edit: forgot to mention this—if Bama were confident in moving the ball against OU, they wouldn’t have had to resort to silly trick plays like the direct snap with Simpson walking toward the sideline or Simpson pretending to trip and then throwing downfield. They knew they were having to scratch and claw for everything, and that ran out for them in the second half.

We saw that no one was beating Bama very often and thought that someone should join that could. Glad to be of service here.
