Agreed.

An Oklahoma fan agreeing with this? Theres a shocker.

That writer has always been a Longhorn basher

but good job finding support from outside the state of Oklahoma for OU's side of this situation BigD...it certainly seems to be in the minority.

Whenever you have to post something about it the Wednesday afterward, when everyone has calmed down pretty much proves that you may not feel OU deserves to be there. Therefore, you seem to be trying to find all the assurance as possible, and then posting it here to piss off some Longhorn fans.

No. Longhorn fans bring it up in every thread.

Instead, Brown began to show up on TV more than that Geico lizard. The poor-taste clincher came Saturday night when he agreed to be interviewed in the middle of the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State telecast. Why didn’t Oklahoma do that, Stoops was asked Sunday? "I was asked to be on the Texas game Thursday," the OU coach said, "and I said no. I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t think it was right." Stay classy, Austin, Stoops was saying, without mentioning any names. But as Stoops and the Sooners saw, Brown’s politicking for his team worked. The Longhorns gained ground in both of the human polls. Go figure. Texas, playing at home, defeated a vastly disappointing Texas A&M team 49-9 in a game that Colt McCoy was still quarterbacking in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma, meanwhile, playing on the road, knocked off the No. 11 team in the nation — and yet lost ground in the human polls to the Texas poor-us campaign. "It was the campaigning. I don’t think there’s any question," said Jerry Palm, whose CollegeBCS.com Web site is the bible for all things BCS. For all the whining, in other words, about computers and formulas and BCS rules, the human element continues to be the bug in the equation. The same thing happened in 2004 when writers and coaches, after Brown again had politicked all week, leapfrogged Texas over Cal in the final poll and sent the Longhorns to the Rose Bowl

Quote:

If Texas wants to blame anyone today, it needs to blame the guy that scheduled Florida Atlantic, UTEP, Arkansas and Rice. Similar cream-puff scheduling cost undefeated Auburn a title game shot in 2004. This time, fortunately, the six BCS formula computers cut through the rhetoric. They judged the football, not the filibuster. And Oklahoma came out the winner in more ways than one.

Interesting.

I will give Mack Brown props on campaign 08.

Somewhere Jeff Tedford is smiling.
