1. You're misquoting Stoops.
He said he would run up the score because he's "in Texas".

4. But doesn't that say volumes about him as a man.
And even as a coach, later teams that aren't as strong will pay a price for his lack of sportsmanship. But he won't, just his players.

12. You can judge Bob Stoops all you want.
Mack Brown would do the same damn thing given the circumstances, so gimme a break.

Boo flippin' hoo. Poor Texas.

11. Okay, I was drunk when I read this yesterday.
When did Stoops say this? I'm a historian and for about the 500th time this month, I'll say to you (like i say to my students), where's your citation?

14. What did your original statement mean?
Or were just blathering in a drunken stoopser?

Erin Andrews said that Stoopsey told her that during halftime. It is a paraphrase.

15. I would doubt he'd actually say they were running up the score.

Stoops is usually a pretty level, classy guy.
Anyway, it refers to the picture upthread. I just couldn't find it yesterday (too many beers and then a very severe allergic reaction to something I ate had me laid up all day). In 2008/2009 that photo was going around the 'nets with that very caption... "But, but, but we're Texas!"

16. Oh, I see.
Try some V8 juice with Worcester sauce and a raw egg. And several aspirins.

17. Ew, no.
I literally ate a piece of bread yesterday, but it wasn't from the beer. I am apparently severely allergic to goat cheese. Swollen, itchy red face, rapid heartbeat, nausea, the works.

Then I had to drive 6 hours to get home yesterday.

13. Stoops didn't run up the score
The offense scored all of 7 points in the second half.

3. BOOMER SOONER!
As great as it is to see the Cotton Bowl half crimson and half orange at the beginning of the game, it's even better seeing it half crimson and half empty at the end. :)

6. What a game!
I almost needed a xanax before it started.

8. lol -- yes indeed
A lot of tension in our house on those first two drives when we didn't get in the end zone, but then they kicked it into gear and it became a rather enjoyable game :)

Bring on the Jayhawkers. They were down 56-7 against OSU at halftime, so OU should be able to overcome any post-Texas hangover.
