Hey Falcons

[CaliSooner]

"We know enough around here to talk about our 1959 national title as the mythical national championship."




You weren't even in University Division. That's the equivalent of a D-IAA NC. Meaningless.

[CaliSooner]

"Funny you should mention that.

UPI (the coaches) thought Southern California was better in 1974, as did the Football Writers Association of America and the National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame

Like I said: "Mythical." Embrace the word."





Duh. I think everyone knows there isn't a playoff system. And I'm sure you'd hate to have a NC of this kind wouldn't you?

Look smarty, OU was on probation that year so they were ineligible for certain organization's votes, like the coaches' poll (UPI). Go ahead and compare how many organizations voted for each team. OU went 11-0; USC went 10-1-1. Any follower of college football knows we were the best team that year. Look at the third link.

You're a typical mid major fan who doesn't really know much about the sport or tradition.

"BTW, I recall OK had 4 or 5 straight losing seasons in the mid 90's and were getting their tails kicked by Nebraska 69-7. You ain't that far removed from the dark days. Stoops is one of the best coaches in the nation and OK is back as a powerhouse. "




So what? Everyone has down years. We have the highest win percentage of any team since the start of the AP poll (1936). Not doing too bad.

[CaliSooner]

At least you guys have hockey................

[BGSU_via_UDel]

dude you are so correct I just never thought about it your way. Lets petition Bowling Green and all the other Mid conference teams (MAC, Mountain West, C-USA) to end their football programs because clearly we have no right to play football with anyone other than perhaps high school football teams? Is that maybe what level we are at? Maybe middle school teams we should play? Dude you are a joke and your fans are mad as hell at you for spouting your garbage. Are there ANY teams in the NCAA I-A that you have respect for? Is any team worthy of playing your precious Sooners? Or should every team who plays you guys each year see the game on the schedule and have all the coaches and players say "well thats one loss for sure, theres no way we can beat them, we have no chance, we're going to lose by 75 points and we won't score once" See, because according to you, we should just be priviledged to play you guys and expect NOTHING but a learning experience. Tell me, is it a good teaching tool to tell your players to expect to get demolished and that you have no chance of winning? When you get excited about seeing your team play a team you think is better do you not support them and just expect them to get crushed? HELL NO you support them, want them to win and THINK they have a chance. Like I said before bozo, How many people in here say that BG is going to win? 1 or 2? How many say that it will be much closer than everyone thinks? The vast majority. See we respect your team and have complimented them on their success, you bash us and give us zero respect for our success the past few years. Don't forget, we were top 20 for a few weeks last year in both polls and we finished in the top 25 in both polls as well. Clearly we were better than 85% of the I-A teams last year but of course thats not good enough hahaha.

[Schadenfreude]

Duh. I think everyone knows there isn't a playoff system. And I'm sure you'd hate to have a NC of this kind wouldn't you?

Would it mean you would stop posting here?

Look smarty, OU was on probation that year ...

You're a typical mid major fan who doesn't really know much about the sport or tradition.

I know we've never been on probation.

[Flipper]

Bragging about a "title" that you cheated to build seems less than honorable.

USC was better that year. They had wins over two teams that finished in the top ten (Ohio State and Notre Dame) Oklahoma best wins were over Texas and Nebraska. Neither of those two fininshed within spitting distance of the Buckeyes or the Irish.

[Salt City Sooner]

USC also lost to a very mediocre Arkansas team (6-4-1), & tied a decent at best Cal (7-3-1) in Los Angeles. No such blemishes for OU that year.

I wish you all a good game tomorrow, hard fought, & with NO injuries on either side. I'll be pulling for you guys the rest of the year. Take care.

Read the post immediately after yours again moron. OU was much better than USC that year. Then read this link:

It doesn't matter what you think cuz no one who knows anything about college football history agrees with you. Who cares what a mid major fan who just started following college football when his school got good a few years back thinks?

[CaliSooner]

Quit being a baby UDel. I'm glad you're excited about your team. But when I see stupid predictions I'm going to say something. Pull for your team but don't be a homer, be realistic. Teams like yours schedule games against teams like ours mainly to get program attention and for giving your players a chance to go against the very best and learn something. Sure your coaches and players should play to win but fans shouldn't be delusional and post predictions like BGSU 30, OU 27. You don't understand how much depth we have. Our backup QB is arguably more talented than our starter. We're at least 2 deep almost everywhere. It would take a totally unprecedeted disaster for us to lose to you tomorrow on our HOME FIELD. That's just reality! You gave up 280 points last year against MAC COMPETITION! It's going to be next to impossible to move the ball on us and next to impossible to stop us from moving it on you.

At the end of the season, USC was the best team in college football. They destroyed a very good Notre Dame team ( I think Anthony Davis just scored AGAIN) and then they went on to defeat Archie Griffin's Ohio State Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl in consecutive games. The Sooners didn't have any blemishes because they didn't play anyone. The Big Eight was a weak conference, certainly weaker than the PAC 10 and your only noteble OOC foe, Texas was off that year also.

Had you played on New Year's day, you would have been exposed....just like last year.

I'll stand by my assertion that you shouldn't brag about "titles" you cheated to win. You shouldn't even acknowledge them becauae they aren't legitimate.

At any rate, that was then and this is now. Bob Stoops is a fantastic coach and he's rebuilt the Sooners into a program that you truly can be proud of. I can think of know better yardstick for our program to be measured against than the Oklahoma Sooners. It will be interesting to see how we fare against the best. If you can slip by us today, it should be smooth sailing for you to that mythical National Championship 8)

"Who cares what a mid major fan who just started following college football when his school got good a few years back thinks?

Sir.

I know of agony of which you cannot comprehend.

I was there on a cold drizzly day in 1990 when -- after five straight losing seasons, Moe Ankney began running the pole cat out of desperation against Ball State. I watched the Falcons get sacked three straight plays, looking all the while like a like a pee wee football team suffering severe collective ADD. I watched us lose 16-6. I was there.

I was there in 2000 when -- down 42-7 -- our own goddamned cheerleaders began cheering for Michigan.

I was there a week later when Buffalo broke an 18-game losing streak against the Falcons. I watched Buffalo fans call our players losers as they walked off the field. Buffalo fans! I was there. I watched it happen.

You are the worst kind of fan. You are a frontrunner, a bully, a person who gets his rocks off rubbing other people's noses in misery.

In other words, you are worse than the worst Dallas Cowboys fan.

And you don't know **** about Bowling Green.

1. Last I heard, you win a National Championship based on what you did the ENTIRE year, not just the end. SC screwed up twice, once on their home field. OU never did.

2. SC did not play a tougher schedule that year. I'll call it a wash, but if anything, the scale tips slightly towards OU's slate that year. SC's opponents finished an aggregate 66-62-2, & they played 5 teams that finished under .500. OU's opponents finished 65-60, & they played 4 sub .500 teams.

3. Make no mistake, I am not proud of OU's history in regards to the NCAA. To say that they gained an unfair advantage in '74 due to cheating is wrong though. By '74, the players that OU were put on probation for that year were gone (unlike the '88 mess). By FAR the biggest infraction that we were put on probation for that year was for falsification of a player's high school transcripts. That player (Kerry Jackson, a QB from Texas), never saw the field for OU. If you'd like to read about this, I'd suggest Switzer's autobiography, "Bootlegger's Boy". It's a very good read otherwise as well.

4. Again, good luck today.

You're a typical mid major fan who doesn't really know much about the sport or tradition.

No you're a typical bandwagon BCS fan who has no regard for the history and tradition of "mid-major" schools. Every college football fan gets inundated with Bullshit from the money hungry, hypocritical BCS. We in the MAC have NFL and college hall of famers, regular dates in NY the past few years for the heisman ceremony.

"National Champion" is in quotes for a reason. We never get a fair shot. We never get big schools to come to our place. Yet we still compete and sometimes win. We don't get a cut of the BCS money. The best non-BCS teams get blocked out of the big bowls, our teams with 10 wins get screwed out of bowl appearances in favor of mediocre BCS teams we beat in the regular season. We get screwed all the time because of the close-minded people like you who refuse to accept the fact that I-A football includes the MAC.

You are the minority. You are the a-hole even amongst your own fans.

We all know and respect the "great" tradition at schools like OU. The fact that you can't even acknowledge MAC teams says more about your ignorance than my character.

Go to hell, CaliSooner

You think OU was better, I think USC would have won. To put it ina historic perspective, we're arguing about who's prettier between Ginger and Maryann.

Unless you prefere the Professor...

Based on the first half of football, I must say that you guys have a TON of talent. Hard to imagine anyone in college football beating you on that basis.
