OU = Frauds

Two years in a row, two Fiesta Bowl's in a row, two humiliating defeats in a row. Such is life for the Oklahoma Sooners in the 21st century.

I'm willing to give them a pass in last year's one point loss to a feisty Boise State team. For my money, the 2007 Fiesta Bowl was the greatest football game ever played. It was the Marissa Miller of football - college or pro.

This time around? No way. They are playing in a virtual home game (you know, 1000 miles closer to Glendale than Morgantown is) against a demoralized team coming off the biggest choke job in college football history. At game time, the Sooners were anywhere from 8-9 point favorites and truthfully, it should have been more.

Despite all this, WV came out swinging and you knew it was going to be good when they were able to hold OU to a 7 and out, 3 and out, 3 and out, & 6 and out in their first 4 offensive possessions. Then you knew it was going to be really good when 280 pound Owen Schmitt rumbled 57 yards for the first TD of the game.

Still, there was no way the Sooners and the "great" Bob Stoops could blow two BCS games in a row right? I mean at some point, the OU offense would start grinding and WV's supposedly inept defense would wear down. Hey, if nothing else, all those bullshit calls against the Mountaineers would catch up and even the playing field. No?

I guess not. As I sit here inside of 5 minutes to go in the game, OU is down by 20 and anything they can do WV can do better. They are playing as if their only goal coming into tonight was to make us all forget about how terrible Florida played on D yesterday. If thats the case, consider it a job well done boys.

I couldn't be happier.

P.S. Nice pick elpres - I can't wait for your next "Mortal Lock"
