Did you go to any A&M games? The one here in Norman was pathetic at best. We sit on the visitors side with season tickets and the interaction between the coaches and players was almost nill. We have had A&M grads call into the radio about the problems that Fran brought to A&M and his and his coaches lack of interaction with the players.

One of the A&M coaches is on our staff and really good as a receivers coach. Personally think he is one of the reasons along with Josh Heupel for the White to Clayton hook-up on passes this year.

If you think recruiting was bad under Slocum -- just wait. The recruiting is going to get worse -- am telling you that you all hired a coach that is not even close to being the players coach that Slocum was from what we saw here in Norman. Slocum was always talking to the players. Fran should have been embarrassed at his team and his own coaching and his assistants for that poor performance they put on here in Norman. Never saw a college team just quit before in the 2nd quater -- I did that Saturday.

I have zero respect for Fran not telling his players at Alabama that he was leaving and waiting for them to find out at an Aggie Press Conference. You can take Fran's story all you want, but I don't belive it after he lied here about not being informed of the clock keeping running. We saw the ref go over, point to the clock, and him nod not to mention the Big 12 official stated that he had told Fran that Stoops wanted the clock to keep running.

Would not let a son of mine play for him at A&M afater what I witnessed. You get beat 77-0 and then whine you could have scored if the clock didn't keep running -- give me a break!

We could have scored more and after what happened with the moron from NY we should have, but our coach has class. A&M had zero defense, zero offense, and zero special teams play. Aren't you the least bit embarrassed that we had to take a knee on first down to keep from scoring. Jason White didn't play the whole second half which actually threw him off against Baylor.

You guys are the Big 12 -- you looked worse then we did under Blake and we were pathetic then. At least our guys didn't quit! We know what it is like to have losing seasons under John Blake except the players really liked him. It took Bob Stoops to get us out of a funk. They fired Gibbs here for a similar record as Slocums and looked what happened to OU in the 90's! We know what pathetic looks like.

They should have put in the Aggie band -- only people that cared that game! They would have done a better job.

PKM, please root for Notre Dame to wipe out Syracuse this Sat. We need to have a OU v USC extravaganza for the National Championship. Under the convoluted methodology of the BCS, LSU could actually become No. 2. If this happened the whole country would be deprived of a true championship game.(my apologies to LSU fans) If OU plays USC, I am open to a little friendly wager.:-)

Why all the empty seats in KC during the fourth quarter?

The fraud that is OU Football exposed tonight - USC and LSU should meet for the championship

dateline: Texas Stadium | 12/6/03 | Jamail Holloway's fur coat at the Orange Bowl

Congrats to K. State, Big 12 Champs. They spanked the pompous overrated Sooners 35-7 tonight in the Big 12 Championship game. Meanwhile USC and LSU continued to roll with big wins(52-28 and 34-13(with 3 minutes left, respectively.)

No way should OU be chosen by the BCS to play in the Sugar Bowl, the pollsters and computers should drop them hard to at least #3(Michigan is probably better, but they do have 2 losses.) What a fraud the BCS is, can anyone reasonable prove that OU is better than LSU and USC, both of who have dominated late in the season? Yet just like with Nebraska a few years ago, OU will probably back in based on bogus prior rankings, overrated hype, and a scam of a system.

OU didn't just lose, they got their butts whooped. If they had lost by just a few points, one could make a decent argument that perhaps they below in the mythical national championship game. But not after this lame performance, and the impressive play of USC and LSU in the last month. 2 teams are going up, 1 is going down. But once again, the BCS is probably going to show how utterly bogus it is. Besides, I'd say its 50-50 that right now Michigan could beat them all, just as with USC the year before.

Without a playoff, its all just figure skating.
