peterson is a freshman and was left in late in pretty much every blow out, just to run up his stats.  stoops was a dirty coach this year, really made himself look bad on several occasions.

We can barely say we had a single blow out this year. Sure we won all our games, but look at last year. Last year we killed opponents, even with second and third string players in. Because of the criticism that we recieved last year, we didn't do that this year, and look what it got us, people telling us we aren't that good. Now, whether you agree with running up the score or not, it's just fact that if you do it one year, and don't the next year, even if it's so you don't get yelled at about it, it makes you look like you aren't as good. I honestly don't think you caught too many OU games this year, because Stoops did nothing this year to "make himself look bad" as compared to last year. If you wanted to say that about either year, it would definatly have been last year. Also, we did not keep AP in just to raise up his stats. If you watched out play, we did much more running this year than last. It wasn't like Jason White went out, threw a bunch of touchdowns until the score was high enough that it didn't matter, then we just threw in AP and told him to run. He ran the entire game, and he is the reason the score is up there.

As for the Heisman... I honestly can't say who I think will win. I honestly don't think anyone has a chance other than White, Peterson, and Leinart. Jason has had a very good year, but in his last game he thew 2 interceptions which won't be forgotten even though we easily won the game. Adrian has the problem of being a freshman which apparently to a lot of people means you shouldn't win, to me, it means you are all the more deserving when you can compete with the older guys and still do better. And Matt just didn't do anything in his last game, again something that wont be forgotten come time to vote.

I think any one of the the three has just as good a chance to win as the others, however I think, as does the Maxwell Award apparently, that those three are the best, and that it's going to be one of them for the award. Of course all I can hope for is that either Jason or Adrian will bring it home for us ;)

Anyway, back to the original topic here... The BCS system doesn't work. Okay, we all agree on that. Now lets think AND IMPLEMENT something better. Because as of right now, it's the best thing we have. No matter what system we use, there will always be teams that don't make it as far as they are expected to. When you have 3 teams that are undefeated and as good as USC, OU, and Auburn are, SOMEONE HAS to lose out. Honestly I don't see how it could have been anyone but Auburn this year. Auburn has been amazing, but sometimes that just doesn't cut it. Starting with USC, they started out #1, they have been #1 all year, they have rarely shown a reason NOT to be #1. That's why they are still #1. Next OU, we started out #2, we have been #2 almost all year other than one idiotic voting mistake (and we all see how that turned out), we also have rarely shown a reason to drop at all. Auburn however, started #17, did a lot of work, made up a bunch of spots, but when you get to the teams like USC and OU, you just have to have something more than being undefeated and having a great season. All three of them have had a great season, all three of them have had their mistakes, all three of them deserve the chance to say they are the best, unfortunatly, not all three of them will get a chance to. I'm sorry to Auburn, and all I can really say is better luck next year. You will undoubtedly have a better starting position, so work with that. Make few mistakes, and next year just might be your year. Hey, I know we are losing a ton of our team, so it might be our spot you take ;)

Alright, now that I have completed writing my book, I'm going to bed. Good night friends.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I definatly had a chance to buy an Orange Bowl ticket for $150 since I had season tickets, but I just don't have that laying around :(

hehe, damn that was long...

i know of two specific times this year stoops was heavily criticized, for putting up points late in a game when they are up by a couple TDs, not taking a knee, or by keeping his starters in the entire game (which many people viewed as "heisman stats"). i'm not the only one who thought this, but most people around the country, including media and sportscasters felt the same way. i actually watched a lot more OK than i normally do, since this was the first year i had the espn college gameday package.

rose bowl tix went for $140 after everything.

and yeah, as much as texas and benson choke in big games, benson shoulda been there over peterson by far. it's a shame that peterson is even there.

Boise State should have got one of these bowls... :angry:  :angry:

They deserve it.  :cry:

That's true. Boise St. should've been in playing Utah and Pittsburgh should've been out. Regardless of who the team is, having an undefeated season is something special, therefore they should be rewarded.

if they give it to peterson (won't happen,) then we need to go back and give Rex Grossman his heisman for his sophomore season. If he had been a junior that year he would have won by one of the largest margins ever  :angry:

Grossman should have won it, that's why I vote for Adrian Peterson as well. I don't give a damn if you're a freshman or senior, the best player in the current season should win it.

Of course, back in reality, I thought Kyle Orton was going to win it after the first 6 games of the season... :wacko:

      Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.

      XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.

      Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
