Thank You Sooners from the Crimson Tide

[bamademo]

Franphoney had a Malox Moment when the Oklahoma Fans starting chanting
"Roll Tide". The announcers even commented on it. :evilgrin:

1. I second that emotion!

Ahhh, the thrill of defeat!

:bounce:

2. The announcers also said they don't blame him for leaving Alabama

3. Wow...

I may have to become an Oklahoma fan.

4. Are you a Razorbacks fan?

Push 'em back! Razorbacks!

5. Woo Pig Sooooie

You bet i am. Being an OU fan in Arkansas is almost as big a sin as voting Democrat. :)

The Hogs need to win out to get into a good bowl. Here's to a 9-3 season!

9. Hey, I am a convert!

I live in Chicago. (It's a long story, and I won't go there.)

6. I'm a Sooner fan

and I have never seen a team dominate another team like they did Texas A&M today. Starting quaterback Jason White played just the first half and was 16 of 18, 265 yards, 5 TD's(also had 2 or 3 TD's called back due to penalties). Second and third team played almost the entire second half. In the fourth quarter with OU inside the 10, with 7 minutes to go, the QB took a knee on first down just to run the clock down so we wouldn't score anymore. OU very easily could have scored another 15 -20 points in the second half, but, the coaches told them to try and run the clock down.

If QB White comes back next year, OU might be even better since they only lose 7 players off of the 2 deep offense and defense.

7. QB White is a senior

He is definately not coming back next year simply because he can't.

8. VD2004

he qualifies for a medical redshirt.

Stoops has already mentioned that he MAY be back. No guarantees.

White lost two seasons with back to back injuries, I'm sure you know that, but didn't play the max number of quarters and therefore qualifies.

Comments from a poster on a Texas A&M board...His thoughts on looking for positives in the game


In light of our loss to OU, I know that there will be a great deal of potbanging, handwringing and negativity. We are all disappointed by the lopsided loss, but we must stay positive. Following are the positive things that I will take from the game and focus on during the next week as we prepare for Missouri.

-We had a relatively balanced offensive attack,
52 yards total, 32 yds passing, 20 rushing.
-Pegram was perfect, no missed FG's or PAT's.
-We were able to hide the fact that Pegram lost
his kicking tee.
-We had no fumbled punts.
-Jacob Young qualified to be listed for NCAA
season punting statistics in only one game.
-Team lost no game balls. We returned home with
same number of footballs as we took.
-No players lost the decals on their helmets.
-Coach Fran was able to leave the game a little
early to visit with friends from Kansas.
-Yell Leaders left game much more comfortable
than usual as no "squeezing" was required.
-Found out that Stoops has mercy since he could
have easily reached 100 points.
-We help keep White's Heisman hopes alive.
-We are finally getting regular mention on ESPN
Sports Center.

These are the initial positive thoughts that come to mind. I am sure that some of you have more. Please share any that you might have as we all need to "come together" during this time of grief.
