Okay. Let’s do this. I don’t want to rant on my blog coverage on OU’s most recent inexplicable loss to Kansas State. So I’m going to defer to Coach Mike Leach and allow him to do this for me. I’ll be fine after Coach Leach does this for me. It’s like having multiple football epiphanies. Save this….you’ll probably need this later in the season.

For the third time in the past four years the Oklahoma Sooners lost to the K State Wildcats. This time the score was 41-34 and in reality the game wasn’t that close as OU scored a prevent defense touchdown with around thirty-five seconds to make it appear this was a one score game.
OU’s defense in a word….was putrid. Coach Venables said as much in his post-game…so this isn’t me just ranting. Missed tackles. No sacks. Giving up generous yards after contact when a Sooner actually touched a K State ball carrier.
Tulane must be pretty damn stellar given they beat these same Wildcats 17-10 the week before.
The typical OU dumbass fans who call into Jim Traber were blaming the loss on Sooner quaarterback Dillion Gabriel because he missed Drake Stoops on a deep route in the seond quarter.
Really?
OU never led in this game. Ther defense was horrific…pee wees pretending to be a man like Mike Gundy.
Wildcat QB Adrian Martinez had his second staright career game against the timid OU defense.
Hard to believe this is the same school which produced the Selmon Brothers under Barry Switzer in the mid 70’s.
On the game’s biggest play… on a third and seventeen at midfield near the two minute mark–nary a Sooner touched the previously beleagured Nebraska QB as he cruised fifty-five yards near the Sooner goal-line to put the game away.
Gabriel, minus his offensive line for committing multiple dead ball fouls, was actually decent considering he only had possession of the ball ten minutes in the first half.
If after seeing this game on film, Mike Gundy should be hung if Spencer Sanders doesn’t get at a minimum eighteen run play touches in Bedlam.
Duece Vaughn was Duece Vaughn…the latest in a line of K State scatbacks like Darren Sprouls and Mack Herron.
I’ve now wathced every team in the Big 12 play at a minimum two games. I was wrong about the Big 12 being a third tier football conference. It’s a fourth tier conference without one single team in the league who has any business playing in this postseason’s four team NCAA Playoff format.
If it wasn’t for the surrendering aspect of writing this…I’d write I hope the Kansas Jayhawks win the football crown this season in the Big 12.
If anything this completely unphysical, pathetic loss reinforces to me the Sooners need to join the SEC so as they can recruit some players for their defense who can tackle someone and display some ‘hit them in the mouth mentality’ of sorts.
O State at Baylor next Saturday is the game I’ll be following on my blog next Saturday.
