Briles was a scumbag, he recruited thugs, you do remember that ? Switzer was a recruiting machine and he stockpiled 3 deep especially before scholarship limits. You ever wonder why the goons are the most penalized team in the country 
. I wish Gundy would go balls out against the goons myself. I can think of 3 times we had the best team, yet only won one of them
Ever wonder why Texas has sucked for almost 10 years yet they have mostly 4-5 star kids plus a budget almost twice us.

Ok, I just want to be clear here. Youâre actually complaining that he wasnât willing to force an already injured player who wasnât able to practice all week because of injury to play in the game and risk a more serious injury? A college student, not a professional. Thatâs really your complaint this week?!? Time to move on bud because youâre really grasping at straws.

Two things, he was talking about injured college players. Me I like having a coach who doesnât force INJURED college players to play.
Second you have to accept the reality that OSU will never sneak up on OU. OU is always emotionally ready to play us. Itâs a rivalry game. Other schools have the luxury of catching OU when they are not completely ready to play. No team can be completely ready to play every week.

Sklar was visible hurt instead of starting howard against tcu, lost him for the yr and cost them a con champ.
Very few players are youngblood or Gibson.
Most 80% players are better then health players against them. Do they are ineffective.
A 80% player may for ready to go, after a few hits they just donât want to make plays.
Or make plays and end up like Skylar.
So for 1 win ( that didnt happen because he went out), ksu lost a con run and possibly a winning season.

Thank you, I say this all the time. I absolutely agree that 2 wins in 15 years with the talent heâs had is unacceptable for Gundy, but people act like OU is a terrible team and Gundy gets upset by them every year or something. OU is almost guaranteed to be more talented and skilled than us every year, if not almost every year, and when you combine that with them being motivated to beat us each time we play it would take almost a flawless perfect scheme and execution to beat them. Whether OSU is motivated and prepared to play or not. The reason weâve had so many close loses to them shows that we are good enough to compete with them, and game plans are good, it just comes down to OU being better. One or two little mistakes are amplified exponentially against a prepared Oklahoma team.

If itâs not already obvious by your replies, OSU definitely does not have low expectations. Fans think OSU is entitled to conference championships every year directly due to Gundyâs success. Did OSU fans expect that every year before Gundy hired on? Absolutely not.
He should have more than 1 1/2 conference titles by this point I agree, but thatâs because of how he has elevated the program. He has come up short for sure, and in some of those years he probably shouldnât have, but thereâs other factors at play. In 2008, OSU was unlucky enough to have the #1, #2, and #3 teams in the nation in the same conference as them. One of those played for the title. The next year, they had a QB injury and again, a team above them played for the national title. In 2010, they played above expectations and lost the conference title to a better OU team in a tight game. In 2011 they got it done. In 2015 and 2016 they played above their talent, raising fansâ expectations by the time November rolled around. 2015 was our worst rushing season on record and we lost to central Michigan in 2016. I wouldnât call those championship caliber teams that failed to meet expectations. In 2017 they were unlucky enough to run into the most efficient offense in the history of college football and lost to eventual CFP participant OU in the final minute. They didnât have the horses to compete with OU in 2018, and somehow still could have won that game. They had no business being in that situation against that talented of an Ou team. The only year that I would call a complete failure to get the job done when he should have was 2013, he absolutely blew that game in bedlam. The others were just us losing to the superior team.

Losing to a superior team with a superior coach. Gundy has lost to OU more in the last 15 years than Kansas has. There isnât a single team with more loses to OU in the last 15 years than OSU. We are the guaranteed win on their schedule. Gundyâs winning percentage against OU is lower than the winning percentage of the history before he became coach.
Itâs a rivalry game, it means so much to them. In fact it means 3 times as much as the OU Texas Red River rivalry. It must because they win more than 3 times as often.
When a school has a superior team and a superior coach, doesnât that give a sizable advantage when trying to win a football game? Over the past 5 years, name one single time OU has lost a game that had title implications? They lose one early here and there, sure, but they always win down the stretch. Youâd have to go all the way back to 2014 to find the last time they lost a non-CFP game in November or later, and that loss was against OSU. In fact, in the past decade the only two B12 teams to beat OU after October are OSU and Baylor, each have done it twice. Not just with OSU, but any time they have a high stakes game late in the year, they win it. OSU is just unfortunate enough to always get OUâs best every year. Why do you think we always play them tight in seasons where we arenât any good? OU is notorious for playing up, and down, to their competition.
Who knows, maybe us looking bad Saturday helps our cause next week, idk. I doubt it, but OU doesnât seem AS invincible this year as they have over the past half decade.
As long as they play us and Kansas in November, they should be able to keep that record.
Tell ya what, just donât watch next week? Since youâll be pouty the whole time, maybe just spend your day knitting a nice sweater or something? Hopefully OSU can avoid being upset as massive favorites by an awful OU team in Norman without you cheering them on.

Donât worry just like Kyle Porter Iâve learned to bet on OU. [Let me correct this for the record. Kyle only picks OU, Iâm sure heâs an upstanding citizen that would never gamble.]
Even if Gundy could field the Kansas City Chiefs, I would still bet on OU till Gundy proves he can coach.
Fans thinking theyâre âentitledâ is sure enough a problem.
And thereâs a huge difference in legitimate expectations and simple wishes.
You guys chasing ou in ur jealous rants are the ones who think ur entitled. Iâm not sure u really know what a lot of words mean. I know what Iâm entitled to, a great coach that wins games Gundy. 
The one year that he fielded a team better than everyone elseâs in the league, he won the conference. There hasnât been any other year that heâs fielded the best team in the league and lost. You could argue 2013 because they were better than OU and lost, but that team wasnât exactly stacked. They just played really well and sound together. That is, unless he doesnât get there this year. If it werenât for OLine injuries Iâd honestly think this yearâs team is the best in the league, due to a mixture of our defense being what it is and the rest of the league being down.
If this became an argument about recruiting I would agree, I think heâs been terrible at recruiting, which is why we never have the leagues best team. Thatâs his fault. But just from an in-season coaching standpoint, he never has the leagueâs best team.
I agree with most of that. In 2011 Monken went all out to score every time they touched the ball. That hasnât happened since.
And simply winning games, actually means near nothing.
Winning conference and national championships, would make him a great coach.
There r lots of things to talk about. But u desire to just say one thing why
