I came to this forum looking to discuss the game and the first week of the season, and to see what UT was truly bringing to the table this week. If anyone wants my opinion on the game, I give it to them. If someone wants to banter back and forth about any team or individual matchup, I'm more than happy to. But if I see sunshine pumping, I'll call it what it is. If I see someone twisting stats in a misleading way, I'll call them on it. Now I've been more than complimentary about Dobbs, Coach Jones, Hurd, Kamara, and the opportunity to witness this game Saturday in one of college footballs most amazing venues. But I've only been aggressive when approached with aggression. Anyone who has been respectful of me has received the same in return. Trash talking with other fans can be a lot of fun, and some your fans are great at giving it right back. But if someone isn't up for it mentally or emotionally, then honestly they shouldn't take part in it. If someone gets butthurt over it, that's their problem. Every opinion I've stated about your program or Oklahoma's has also been made by some of the Vol faithful on this forum. I get attacked for it because I'm the "enemy" this week and a typically confident Oklahoma fan. I'm fine with that because it's to be expected. But I always do my best to back up my words with facts, stats, or something that reinforces that particular opinion. Some people don't want to hear the truth, and that's not my problem either.
I'm assuming that the fire you speak of and the potential consequences of said fire are in reference to the game, and not some personal threat. My words on this message board won't mean diddly on the field when that whistle blows. Same for the words Stoops said, or Striker, or the ones attributed to Brown Jr. that he didn't even say. I don't make a habit of trolling other team's forums, so maybe you should feel honored that I and so many other Sooner fans were concerned enough about this game to want to discuss it with your group. It's a sign of respect for the current status of your program. I didn't come here last year, because I knew we were going to win. This year it could go either way. But if I haven't been banned for some reason by Sunday, I'll surely be here to congratulate you, win or lose, and wish you luck the remainder of the season. You might be surprised to know that I'm a humble winner as well as a gracious loser. Have a good evening.
Too many threads to look through. Maybe someone should start a poll.
Jesus, its seems we have been able to collect all of our retarded fans on 1 message board. No wonder our boards have been so quiet tonight, I didn't realize we had this many fans still playing on that side of the sandbox. Makes for some funny ass reading though. What i do know is this game is going to be a dog fight and a helluva lot of fun to watch.
Very good and heartfelt post. The truth about trash talking though is it's nothing personal. You should see how the SEC trashes each othe on FB SEC Rivals page. It's nasty but to us in the south; we love to trash talk while always having respect for our rivals and not admitting it. All SEC fans know talking smack before game day makes it what it is. For us to be trashing OU...wear that as a badge of honor and respect. We didn't have much to say about BG for a reason. I hope that makes sense. If we don't trash you, we don't feel you are a legitimate threat. Unless you're Vandy. We trash them just because they are Vandy
And yes I get laid regularly still in my thirties and my sweet spot seems to the 23-28 age range. Though I definitely go my same age and older.
You don't want to the see pics of what I'm notching it's cool. But leave your opinions of manhood at the door. This man isn't worried about anyone's business but his own. The way my father taught me. Clear?
Ah, your under the impression your way is the way. Yeah, guys like you are a dime a dozen unfortunately. Fact is I have everything a man is supposed to have and meet every practical definition of it. So I'm good. Your feelings.... Dont matter. Its kinda weird how you press the issue trying to escape the obviousness of what I'm saying.
What im dealing with here is "men" who feel like they need other men to meet their standards to validate their life choices I guess? Is this a Tennessee thing? Men critizing men about how they are perceived as a man?
Gotta tell ya guys. Its a little weird.
Fun fact: In spite of all those loses, Oklahoma is the only team to win all 4 BCS bowls.
Nope, I'm saying that OU was a force during the BCS era.
2nd in bowl appearances
Tied 1st in title game appearances
4th in bowl victories
Only team to win all 4
I would interpret the record a little differently. I would say that Oklahoma has been the bridesmaid of the BCS era, getting to the big dance frequently, but usually losing. Then winning on the same stage later, when it is no longer relevant (no longer the host of the NC).
Not to sell OU's accomplishments short. You certainly did better in most of the BCS period than Tennessee, as we struggled through our Dark Ages. If the bottom line is national championships, we both came out of that era with 1. But you enjoyed the rest of the ride far more than we did, I think.
So, "often the bridesmaid, rarely the bride." That might be a more accurate summary of the 1998-2013 BCS era for Oklahoma.
I couldn't sleep. It's either that or go stroll through Walmart and watch the weirdos.
No, middle TN.
