I gotta agree with william, I too was nervous about all three of those games, as am tonight! Hopefully it will pay off and they embarrass Florida! Bobby you suck, and I hope you suffer from anal leakage! :P

I hope history repeats. Every time the defense had been given little chance of stopping the opposition they have played great. I was worried about the Texas Tech game and stopping Harrell and Crabtree. OU 65 TTU 21. I was worried about the OSU game and stopping Henderson and Bryant. OU 61 OSU 41. I was worried but not as much about the Missouri game. OU 62 Mizzou 21. I am worried about the Florida game. The defense must play like they did against TTU and Missouri. If they play like the OSU game then the offense cannot afford any three and outs. What I really hope is that the Sooners come to play a full 60 minutes of lights out football. If they do that they should do okay.

Well, it's finally come to this. With all the negatives being thrown around and all the Big 12 and OU putdowns, it seems that Oklahoma needs this one a little more. I think they 're up to it. Boomer Sooner!!! #8 can be ours by the end of the night.

Bobby is obviously a big LOSER! He has to hope for someone else's failure to make him feel better about his LOSER life. Sorry Bobby, not this week.

Hey Bobby, if you couldn't make it into the NFL on 2 good knees, what makes you think you have the right to bag on White not being able to do it on 2 reconstructed knees?

Hey "M" how is OU's Heisman Trophy winner Jason Whites career in the NFL going? OH WAIT!! He didn’t make it to the NFL.
Bobby, Oklahoma City - Jan 8, 2009 at 10:45 am
Cant wait to watch OU get beat down tonight! I wonder what kind of lame reasons all the OU fans will come up with tomorrow for losing?? OU will choke just like they have in the last 4 post season games.
Bobby, Oklahoma City - Jan 8, 2009 at 10:42 am
I remember I was in Vietnam when Nebraska played OU in the game of the century - 1971. I was so disappointed OU lost that game. Let's win one for our troops fighting overseas. I guess Florida has troops over there, too, but, I think this will be the highlight of our troops week. Come on guys, give them a good show tonight. They all deserve it. You're fighting off blockers and tacklers, they're fighting off people shooting at them!
