Still painful. I was near there sitting with my dad…OU grad.

The most painful for me was ‘13. It’s been 11 years, and I can’t shake it. But I’m younger than you, so different perspective. The tipped pass to Gresham hurt too. Oh, and the missed 2-point conversion by Corndog, @SherlockOhms

Add 2006 to this, D’juan (I think) dropping a pass from Zac to end the game. Basically a repeat of Parker drop. Pretty sure in the exact same spot too. Bowman dropped a pass at the 5 yard line the play before that too.

Nope. D’Juan west end zone. Parker east end zone.

Heard they had to close Mathis brothers yesterday when Vance was in town.

I remember this as more of a jump ball, but feel like I remember it hitting his hands.

Don’t remember AB dropping one at the 5.

04 had a few as well - notably Prentiss missing deep pass that would’ve put us 1st & goal inside the 5 with like a minute left

Also, BS block in the back on a big punt return of ours. I was on the team that year and we wAtched it the film afterwards. Our guy (Jamar Ransom I think) had his hands on OU player’s back. OU player dives at ball carrier and they throw flag. This is then made worse when they don’t call block in back on Mark Clayton’s punt return for TD

Also, I fee like Mark Bradley had a Germaine Gresham-esque tipped ball catch he took to the house in the first half

It would have been a tough catch for sure but it hit his hands. He was tip toeing the back of the endzone and honestly Zac threw it so absolutely perfectly that I think it caught woods by surprise. It went right over the fingertips of the db and fell through d’juan’s hands out of the back of the endzone. Bowman dropped his over the middle on like a post route. Can’t remember if the clock stopped for first downs back then or not, but if so we could have spiked it and had like 4-5 seconds to run a play. If the clock would have kept running him catching it probably would have ended the game.

Voting in someone for president that happens to be female and black would be pretty cool. Voting in someone for president because they’re female and black is reckless. I’d go for Michelle but she doesn’t want it.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to communicate here

As an independent, I just want someone who can make the economy better without sacrificing our morals. Which is funny, because every time I read on which party is better for the economy, it almost always ends up being the Democratic Party.

Obviously the Democratic Party has its own set of issues, but I do find it odd how the Republican Party is deemed “economy first” party when the data and numbers do not back it up. Regardless this doesn’t mean I’m gonna vote Democrat, just thought it was interesting.

Gender and race should not be the center focus of a presidential campaign, policy should. I feel like that’s pretty straight forward and obvious.

Add the 1983 game to this list. Up by 2 after the land thieves scored, they try an onside kick. The Bootleggers Boy claims to this day that he called off the kick, but their kicker never got the message. His kick glanced off Chris Rocken’s helmet and they recover. They kick a last second FG and we lost 21-20. We were up 20-3 at the start of the 4th quarter. Bad times.

what about not voting for someone because of such?

This is what we need more of. Policy talk. Haven’t looked at any presidential campaign in terms of policy since Obama / Romney.

Equally awful / stupid.

Exactly, my biggest frustration is that we even have political parties. Candidates should only be allowed to talk policy and no one can claim to be any one party.

Just having parties exist inherently makes voters less inclined to truly learn policies

I’d just like to find legit, real-world non-biased data that doesn’t simply support whatever narrative said groups/organizations putting out the data wants. However, such data sources just don’t really exist. Whoever funds the data collection will taint the data to their narrative. Both sides do it, and it’s frustrating. EPI happens to be ardently left and pro-union based on the individuals and non-profits that fund them. Another example of folks believing what they want to believe.
