I hope we do beat them, they claim they are going to embarrass the conference by blowing us out which is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard seeing as how we haven't been a threat in the conference in 10 years

I am not sure who "They" are, most think that OU is catching Tennessee in a tough spot, in Norman which is traditionally not an easy place to win. But I will say this, Tennessee will get OU's best game, and Stoops will tell you that. Most of our fanbase are looking forward to a great series, I for one am really looking forward to visiting Knoxville next year.

Saban really gave stoops a hard on for the conference didn't he?

Oklahoma beats Bama one time and they expect to be crowned champions of the world. Meanwhile I would imagine most OU fans would dismiss getting beat by Texas Tech, Texas Longhorns, Boise, and Florida to my recent memory.They had the same coach, won the Heisman trophy during that time and had wonderful recruiting, but still lost because of big game Bob.

Might want to check your facts, the Sooners have beaten Alabama 3 straight times under Stoops in the past 12 years. In fact that equals the Vols number of wins in the same time period in four times as many games. As for the losses you point to over the last 8 years or so (since you mentioned the Boise loss), I believe Alabama lost 22 games in that period... some of them to teams like... Utah, Oklahoma State and yes... Louisiana-Monroe. And in that same period we won't discuss Tennessee losses. My point here is not to knock on either Alabama or Tennessee, but to say that OU is a top program, that has performed better than just about any other (save Alabama over the last 3 years) and will continue to do so.

I have been in OK 10 yrs and I haven't seen OU do thus to anyone but a mid major !

Another poster mentioned this:
Average margin of victory vs P5 OOC opponents at home under Stoops is 3 TDs. Must not pay much attention...

But in the past 10 years you must have missed:

2007 Miami, FL 51-13
2010 FSU 47-17

Both were in Norman.

I would have the same response to the previous posters bringing up a close game OU had with Utah State four years back and somehow comparing it to the Vols 38-7 win this year. Completely ridiculous. Bottom line is both teams have done nothing but play tune-up games to this point. And it has been somewhat costly for both, the Vols lost a top receiver and the Sooners lost a pre-season AA Corner (who probably will not play this week even if the news on him is good).

You see this....this is the problem with letting a storied football program slide into irrelevance. It makes me sick to get smack talked on our board by every opponent, big and small, that we face. How long must we endure this crap? We are way too talented of a board....our smack is strong. When will it be our time?

It's the little people, the posters, that are ultimately effected the most. Damn you Kiffin, damn you Dooley!

I probably should have typed this in blue. Rant over...carry on.

I hope you guys do make it back (after next year :) ), its LONG overdue, I grew up in the south, and enjoyed watching the Vols growing up.

Ok guys I don't post much just come here to crack up off of the comments the really great posters have, but I've been predicting for about 3 months that we will upset the Sooners. I agree they are better than we are, I agree that on the surface they have more experienced talent than we do but when you look at what they do over the past few years they tend to sleepwalk through a couple of games. I think that they will underestimate how good we really are and by the time they realize it they will find themselves in a dogfight one that we win on a last second fg or late td.

Nope, much like your board we have a thread that shows the weekly opponents board, nothing new here. As for "Sooo?", I'd imagine it wasnt that hard to piece together, unless this place is like the Okie Light boards where facts are optional.

Honestly, they haven't been tested this year either and AL didn't play like they cared to win.....so maybe they underestimate us and be caught off guard. I could certainly see us be hyped up and come out strong for the first half. I think that the team with the best halftime adjustments will be the one with the W at the end. One thing for certain though is that we will start to see just who we are after this game.

I could see this game going one of two ways. 1) OK playing tight and Vols hanging close for a half, then OK pulling away. 2) OK stomping a mud hole. I tend to think it will be option 1. OK -32, UT -17

That's funny because I can see this game going one of two ways...1, Vols hang all game and win by a field goal or losing by a field goal. 2, vols winning by 10 or more.

I guess that was the only direction you could take the conversation, no worries here, I'm used to having folks in orange start the insults when the conversation doesn't go their way. Peace.

I hope to meet some nice people while visiting Oklahoma this week cause these people talking crap on here sound very angry. Not sure why since our program has not been very good for the last several years. However, BUTch is rebuilding and we will be back before you know it. I just want to see a good football game on Saturday. GO VOLS!!!
