Oklahoma vs WV

Stoops gambled, he lost. Attempting it when he did was just as good a time as any other, regardless of the previous 2 WV series.

The only reason they stopped the 2nd drive was a dropped pass from a wide open receiver.

So a guy that just got steamrolled by 20 is being lauded for good play calls in the game.

I don't really care. I'm not here to defend Bob Stoops. I just don't think the onsides kick call was that dumb.

I do. The second half had gone all his team's way and then he selected a call with a low low chance of success.

Obviously the chance of success is low. The chance of winning is also low if you have two pathetic safeties against one of the nation's fastest offenses.

As for the momentum thing, that's just an intangible concept that can't really be proven one way or the other.

It was a dumb call IMHO and horrible execution.

You just gained the momentum then put that momentum at risk.

You can't measure it but it certainly exists. Kids feed off of emotion and the idea that things are going "their way" or not going "their way". That was the first play of the second half, ten minutes into the half, that WVU had a play go "their way".

Well I can't argue with hard scientific facts like those. I concede.

Bob Stoops doesn't know his defense well. If he hadn't kicked that onside kick, his defense would have stonewalled WV for thirty minutes and OU would have won by 19.

Dolp! Got me on that one.

Announcers and such people are always referring to mass X velocity when they mention this concept in relation to a game.

I hadn't noticed that. Announcers must be more educated than I thought.

I want everyone that told me last month how overrated West Virginia is to come tell me now.

And in all fairness, I will admit I picked against them, but only because I thought the game was a toss-up and there were some obvious distractions for West Virginia. So come on now, you know who you are, let's hear it.

I have to say, I usually think you are pretty dead on, but Oklahoma showed me absolutely nothing that made me think they could stop West Virginia. You can yell "momentum" all you want to, the simple fact is WVU ran for 349 yards, and that can't possibly be all because of the big mo

I agree with you 100%. The post you quoted was me being sarcastic. I didn't mean any of those statements.
