Oregon let off the gas before the end of the first half. They had so much pity on UT and Dooley that they didnt have the heart to continue to pound us.

The game was actually tied 13-13 at halftime. So your assessment is incorrect.

HARDY HAR HAR go ahead and stroke your conference ego. Just like stoops said, the middle of the road SEC isn't any better than any other conference. Of course that is where Tennessee has been the past decade, so your going to take offense to it.

It probably isn't but that's never been the real point. The point has always been the top of the SEC, pretty much on a regular basis, is better than the top of other conferences. That's why the SEC had 5 DIFFERENT teams win a NC in the 15 years of the BCS. Stoops implied the SEC rides the coattails of one or two teams.....not the case. Any fool should be able to see that.

Convenient SEC logic - leaving off the Bama '13 win. Ole Miss was Stoops first year, and we went 7-5, and they won on a last second kick. LSU and Florida were competitive games, NC games no less, and home games for LSU and Florida, respectively. Bama in '03 was ranked, I believe around #20 when we played early in the year. It's easy to make the narrative fit whatever agenda you're trying to push. Just look at Finebaum and ESPN.

A&M is obviously an SEC "powerhouse", coughwhocouldn'tbeatuswhentheywereintheBig12cough. That SEC patch gives SPECIAL POWERS, so I'll give you that one.

You should combine A&M and Missouri into Stoops' win loss record. They're the same teams the last two years as they were in the Big 12.

Cracks me up how simply being in the SEC completely changes the narrative of those two also-rans.....

The SEC patch does give you special powers when it comes to recruiting the best players in the country. The best players generally want to play in the best conference that is KNOWN for putting players in the NFL. I'm not trying to knock the Sooners as I have great respect for their program and tradition, but the Big 12 is not even close to on par with the SEC, but really no other conference is. That's not me being a homer because I fall into that negavol group that believes OU will comfortably win Saturday night. Gene Stallings knew what he was doing when he was pushing for A&M to join the SEC. Now all those Texas recruits can stay close to home and play in the best conference in the country. It's a fairly easy sell to a recruit. OU is a top 5 team in my book, but it's a fact that they don't go through a grinding schedule like teams in the SEC do. There's a reason why there's so many SEC teams ranked in the top 25 almost every year, and so many SEC schools recruiting classes are highly ranked each year also. The numbers don't lie.

Of course there is. ESPN drives the polls and they have all that money invested in the SEC Network. Why do you think all those horrible Texas teams remained ranked for the past few years?

There's not a single team in the SEC that could come into Norman this weekend and be guaranteed to win.

ESPN has something to do with recruiting rankings???

If he really was running up the score to try to hang 100, he better watch out. You would see a few OU players being lost for the season. You do that crap where you are really trying to run it up instead of just handing the ball off and being that much better, then the play can get sloppy dirty really fast.

Piss on EsPn.... UT might just sneak up and bite these $#@&$*@# in the @ss in my opinion. Forget 100 points, could be a slugfest if the chips fall right. And why is ESPN anything to pay attention to when they put Vandy as a centerpiece contender in their recent "been there, won that" commercial. Good projection for the season espn dipsh@ts.

I'm really confused on how scoring a 100 on Tennessee really means anything just bc we are SEC. What year did we have our last winning season? That's a stat I try not to remember.

This is true however the same can be said for 5-6 sec teams right now. How many can the big 12 say that about?

( bama, ga, auburn, tex am, ole miss and maybe fl)
Stop the silly conference talk. It's not debatable and the bowl and nat champ records demonstrate this every year.
Move on ... Nothing to say here.

Guys - outside of the fact how impossible it would be to score 100 on any power-5 team, Stoops would not do it.

This whole Stoops vs SEC thing is getting out of control. Now, non-answers to SEC questions are becoming ESPN headlines, and those headlines are leading to ESPN talking heads stating Stoops would, could and obviously will score 100. Probably won't score 1/2 that many, nor cover the spread. I'm still hopeful we win a 35-24 type game... but it's not going to be a blood bath.

Plus, go back and look at the OU boards during the last two games... Stoops has a horrible habit of keeping starts in (against everyone) when games are decided. It drives us nuts. Especially last week when we kept having guys limp off the field when the game was over. OU fans will be more pissed than Tenn fans if the game is out of control and 1s and some 2s are still in.

I still think this game has a chance to be closer than any of the so called experts believe. This has the makings of a trap game for Oklahoma in so many ways. They have played 2 cupcakes so far and to be honest I don't think their starters had to break a sweat in either game. The talent gap between the Sooners and their first 2 opponents is so large that it's laughable.

Tennessee on the other hand is not that far behind Oklahoma in talent but we do not have the maturity that they do. That being said, a team full of young players who are playing with a little swagger and a fearless mentality are dangerous as hell.

Stoops is a great coach and I will not say anything bad about him or Oklahoma on this site. He rebuilt a storied program and has had them in title talks every year for the last 10+ years, so he deserves every ounce of credit he gets. It isn't his fault that his conference isn't that great just like it isn't Florida State's fault that the ACC for the most part is a laughingstock.

If we come out early with a lot of energy and we can get to Trevor Knight, this could become a very interesting ball game. If Oklahoma gets up early, then it may turn into a rout.

100 points is laughable. Even Vandy's defense wouldn't give up 100 freakin points.

Sorry for the mistake. I don't try to deceive anyone, the facts are my sources were incorrect. Sooners did beat Alabama in 2013. Soooo, that makes a 4-4 record. Some people would say that is pretty good....I guess! Not in the SEC!!!

If they tried to hang 100 on us just to prove a point I would take every personal foul penalty I could and have my boys take their key players out. I know this is a classless move, but so is running up the score on a team that has given your program nothing but respect in the past.:devilsmoke:

"Maybe we should try to get up with Butch and see if we can just back out of the game with the mighty sooners! We're gonna get hurt and embarrassed. He's gonna score 100 on us if he can..." I'm sick and tired of this BS! We are Tennessee!! We play the best teams in the country EVERY YEAR on their HOME FIELD. We played Alabama last year on their home field with a Freshman QB after our QB broke his thumb! We played Auburn, Georgia, Florida, SC, and we've been to Oregon! I don't understand how that sometime between the time that Texas A&M kicked OU #@& and the time that they upset a very unmotivated Alabama team they became a once in a generation dominating team! Trust me, you're not. You won't hang 100 on UT. You may win but you won't hang 100 on us, and you might find that it is more of a battle than you thought! Keep running your trap OU. If you think this years Tennessee team is quaking in its boots you better think again!

Concur....

I told a friend of mine, an OU alumni and big fan, that Auburn basically beat Bama twice in one year. To lose the way Bama did to Auburn with sooooo much riding on that game soundly predicts a let down in the next game. Bama didn't really care about the Sugar Bowl nor its outcome from what I saw - hence the second defeat at the hands of Auburn.

I'm not taking anything away from OU's QB however, he looked like a Heisman candidate.

Nor would I expect the Sooners to expect a guaranteed win in Tuscaloosa, Oxford, Baton Rouge, Auburn, etc.

They couldn't put up 50 points on LA Tech and barely put up 50 on Tulsa. Tulsa...

But yeah, I'm sure they're going to drop a 100 on us...

I do not see OU putting up 50 on UT but you are way off on your characterization that OU could not put up 50 on those teams. OU could have put up 70 has they chosen to do so.

OU played a vanilla game plan with back-up's in the second half.

On ESPN college football daily Todd Maddox says this is a statement game for stoops. Says that TN better look out because "Stoops will hang 100 on them if he gets a chance."

Man I hope we come out swinging and give them a fight. I'm tired of hearing how my vols are going to get steamrolled!

I'm sick of the excuses for Bama. They got their ass beat by OU whether they were "up" for the game or not is irrelevant.
