The game isn't the same today. The players, coaches, administrators and referees aren't the same. The television coverage isn't the same. Rules have changed. Standards have changed. Conferences aren't the same. Even rivalries have changed. I'm not sure I can watch college football anymore. At least we have these games on the internet and we can go back to the golden days.
Eh fuck this saucers guy, you literally nailed this on the head. The game has changed and not for the better, if I weren't a degenerate gambler I wouldn't watch the shit nowadays.
Completely agree. Greed, change for the sake of change, and the addition of playoffs...has killed everything that made it what *this was. And what we loved about it. People bitched and moaned for so long to do away with bowls, polls, rankings and pay college players, that they got their wish. Saturdays in the fall used to be the best days of the year, bar none. Because they were different than Sundays in the fall... People got their wish. Now the 2 are becoming more indistinguishable...which means college football is dead. These were the best days. 90's to 2010. Had to see it to know the difference
I'm a Texas fan, but these were the years that I used to play a drinking game while I watched Texas-OU. I chugged a beer every time OU scored. That way, I really enjoyed the game, and only felt bad the next day.
Bless you SteelBuck 6. I saw the machine in Waco in 2004. How this group didn't win a National Championship is beyond me. Some of them did because they were freshmen or sophomores in 2000.
@@TheGlaive123 Absolutely true, and they had been thrashed by K-State in the Big 12 Championship. I saw them in 2004, with AD. He didn't make it to the finish line, but I distinctly remember a muffed punt at the 2 yard line, after we had gone up 7-0 and forced a 3 and out. That is one of the two OU games I have turned off in my life. The other was the 44-10 beatdown in Stillwater in 2011.
I've always thought the the reason this OU team didn't win it all was because Jason White's knees must've been beat up by the BIG 12 Championship game. And @TheGlaive123 said so. So I probably am right. During the season this team was one of the greatest teams I've ever seen. A complete team.
It's amazing how unbelievably unbeatable a team can look through a whole regular season and suddenly look like total patsies at the finish line, k-state 7-35; lsu whatever?
I miss the days when OUr defense was just as dangerous as OUr offense. By the end of the 2020 we started to see glimpses of Grinch’s Speed D coming together.
This OU team was just a juggernaut they blew everyone out. Until Kansas State in the Big 12 title game totally destroyed them and they didn’t recover in the natty Saban’s tigers were too well coached
Did Texas break some kind of Record for Unsportsmanlike Conduct calls against one team? I actually missed this one Live....Followed it on a Sports Beeper Device. (Family Obligation) It however, was Unbelievably satisfying, the way it went from 34-13. to 44-13. to 51! and then 60 F-N-5 to 13 on my "digital device". Go Sooners! Beat Texas.
@@Jboy19916 You think in terms of recruiting Stoops should have tried to go outside the pipeline in Oklahoma & Texas ie trying to snag recruits from Florida, Georgia etc
@@JulianRodriguez-sn6nr football was just different back then but I think Oklahoma was late to the party when it came to adapting to what was becoming a more wide open spread athlete driven game
The lack of prep for this game by Texas is inexcusable. Sure, there is a talent gap, a significant talent gap. But 65-13? C'Mon, game prep and player development have been problematic at Texas for a long time. My hope is Sark and his staff can remedy many of these problems and make this series competitive again
@@tylerrice2401 yeah lsu had one of the best teams ever, and oklahoma is top 5 every year, and an all-time top 5 program historically, that's the point, not what happened in one year
I barely remember this game. I was about 13 when it happened. I really regret not getting into football back then. My whole family is big OU fans and football was like the family's 2nd language and I didn't know how to speak it or understand it. Football was everywhere I looked back then basically and I liked getting away from it back then to watch cartoons or play with power rangers and transformers and Sega. Nowadays I'm super duper into football and I love my Sooners. I really missed out back then, but I would bet that a lot of long time football heads would do anything to re-experience football again for the first time. There are still a lot of things that are brand new to me. I am fully infected with football fever right now, probably how a lot of you were when you was a kid. I kind of feel lucky that i was able to shut it out for so long too though, I am getting to experience it now as if I was a kid and its my first time wanting to watch football. And the part of me that knows I missed out when OU won their last national championship, only fuels me more as a new fan, because I want to see my team win a natty again now that I know the language and how huge of a win this is. I definitely regret not being into it back then, it was OUs heyday. Like we all just went to the OU spring game and got to meet some prominent players. I am always for real counting the days for college football season to start. Every week that passes I just look at the calendar and say to myself, God I can't wait for college football to start again. It's like my Christmas now but its months long. I love following the whole thing, what teams are meant to win it all, what underdogs don't stand a chance. And seeing it all play out on the field. It's stories that the best writer can't write, and that's because its real life. Real stakes and everybody has everything on the line, so they are going to give it their all. I can't wait for these next few years of OU Football, it really feels like this could be the time my football wants are fulfilled , and I can go on living happily that my team won it all one more time. Thanks for the upload !
They were the greatest team of all time until the last 2 games In the last 2 games they played like a fringe Top 25 team Not sure why they suddenly got 30-40 points worse but they did
