Losing 12 starters is tough for anyone, not to mention this happening after the Sooners lost so many from last years squad. They've also had to endure 7 different offensive line starting rotations of which doesn't just click when the changes are made. Even still, there was only one game they didn't give it there all and that was last week in Tech when the D got beat down. Yes, it's a tough year but most will be back and there is another great recruiting class coming to Norman. If the dadgum injury bug will go visit a different school, the Sooners will be back in the top five very soon.

Exactly, how many years do you give a coach a pass after a national championship. He has now had a decade. If OU loses today they'll go to Shreveport and play an SEC team and could possibly end the season 6-7 thats unexceptable.

Notre Dame is not a bad job "BIG GAME" BOB and you can take your sorry assistants with you venerables/wilson.

ND is a marked program and will likely never be able to live up to their storied history ever again because they've got problems that run much deeper than coaching. Stoops knows this and could care less about ND.

1) The places they own for recruiting are metro areas that are suffering with low graduation rates. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, etc.... all those major metro areas are now home to less than acceptable schooling. Those are places that ND honed in on and out recruited everyone over the past 75 years. Now that pipeline has been greatly reduced because the athletes are becoming less and less because they don't/can't qualify.

2) ND requires higher entrance levels for incoming freshman and requires a higher gpa than do other schools.

3) ND is in cold country where the kiddos from the hotbed states for recruits want to avoid. The same problem that faces Nebbish up north, so goes the recruiting woes of the Irish. In no way does anyone from Florida, California, or Texas want to spend their school years in the frigid weather of the upper northern US. They want to be where the weather is more mild and the girls wear their shorts and swim wear more often.

I guess OU found the stick-um Gordo. What a performance! Either great OU defense or inept OSU offense, or both. Maybe Zac Robinson should have sat out this game, too.

Me and the pro-OSU house I was at (BOO!!!) were saying that the whole time. Gundy should've either rotated or gave Weeden a few series in the 2nd or 3rd quarters. I understand that Robinson's a senior and got you where you are at, but... You are talking about a shot at a BCS bowl... You are talking about a QB that would be willing to win at all cost, even if that meant it wasn't him in there leading to that win. Just thought it was an odd, bad decision.

Well the Sooners got bowl eligible and beat the Stanford Cardinal! Good season for the adversity they had to face. Would have loved for them to be playing for it all, but I will definately take a bowl victory!
