Hats off to the University of Texas, one of the top academic institutions in the country, for a game well played.

Also for having a cool mascot, stupendously good-looking cheerleaders, one of the most inspiring fight songs in all of college football played by one of the best bands. Also, Austin is a beautiful city and an excellent setting for higher learning, located in one of the most beautiful parts of the great state of Texas.

Thanks for winning graciously. We, of course, are sick at our stomachs and mad as hell that the coaching staff seemed to be playing not to lose instead of playing to win like OU.

Not to knock Chris Simms, but they treat the guy like a China doll. Wouldn't hail Mary it with 5 seconds left before halftime because we still had the lead... IOW, Chris might throw another interception and lose his "confidence". B.S.!!! The second half, the lame brain coaches never called plays where he threw on 1st or 2nd down. Unfriggingbelievable! Hybl didn't let interceptions bother him. I swear, Mack Brown and his staff are a touchy feely group. Worrying about the QB's psyche lost them this game. Simms should have been able to lose it on his own.

So is Oklahoma going to be the Big 12 team that Oregon thumps this year?

I was upset with the game until I found out the Oklahoma running back was from my hometown, Humble, TX. Now it's not so bad.

Is this the real OK Sooner or a fraud! LOL!!

Boomer Sooner! Now I can watch all the highlights, read my paper in the morning, and listen to the radio this week!

What a game! My son called me on his cell phone from the Cotton Bowl with only a minute left to play as those last fans of Burnt Orange were finding the exits.

Sooner Magic is alive and well! "Q" had a fantastic game!!!! And the final play of the game -- Simms was sacked!

Best coaches in America reside in Norman!!!!!!

First off, congratulations to Oklahoma. Watched a little bit of that game and the running back was amazing to say the least.

On another note < clearing throat>, I seem to remember watching a game this afternoon between NC State and Orange County Community Tech. What say you guys? How about that PACK!!! Would that be 7-0? Why I think it would!! LOL While we're not on the level of the SEC and other conferences yet, I see with Amato's coaching, NC State will in a few years be at least closer.

While the boys in blue will not

Great game. I guess this means we're about to hear a lot of apologies to Texas fans, claims that Texas should be Big 12 South co-champions, and excuses about fluke plays costing the 'Horns the game.

Mack Brown probably isn't as bad of a coach as his detractors claim, but at some point he should look like he has a clue on the sideline instead of just standing there staring blankly out onto the field. Maybe he's content to just wait for Bob Stoops to move to Gainesville after the "Gator Nation" grows weary of Ron Zook's mediocrity. But until he starts showing more intensity on the field, Brown should expect his teams to be consistently be outplayed by the Sooners, who always rise to the occasion.

Right after Stoops shows the world that he's the man with the grapefruits - no, make that cantaloupes - by going for two at the end of the first half, Mack shows himself to be the man with the BBs by taking a knee at midfield immediately afterward. Even a pass-interference penalty at that point results in a makeable FG attempt. If his QB's psyche is so fragile that one more INT will ruin him, then it's time to find a new QB. Football is not a game for passivity, and that's why Mack Brown will be waiting awhile for that elusive Sears Trophy.
