So what is your take? Will the Boomers get 'er done, and proceed to next week's final?

The Rose Bowl is when I miss Keith Jackson, **** Enberg, and Curt Gowdy.

Those were men who could call a game

Since "Big Game" Bobby is in the press box, OU 41 Dogs 35

My first reaction to this: what did 'Richard' Enberg do to you?

100% correct assessment though. Jackson's calling of this game owns anything else. I wish I appreciated more a guy talking about the players majors, interests, etc. instead of how each play affects their draft stock.

In this era of conference realignment and tiny biased committees picking 4 teams from 130+ you've gotta be all in Boomer Sooner today.

 

[HFCS]

YEAH! Play same music 47 times in a row!!!

 

[Cardinal and Gold]

Boomer!

Are you sure that's the start the wanted Kirk? Maybe they wanted to start the game with a punt.

Never liked the Sooners, and often hoped they would get pummeled, especially in the Switzer days (shows my age), but Big12 >>>> SEC, so Boomer Sooner! (Today).

 

[CyArob]

Does the SEC play defense?

 

[Cardinal and Gold]

With the SEC bowl record so far I think it is safe to assume the SEC was overrated this year and should not have 2 teams in. Georgia hasn’t seen an offense like the Sooners all season. Look how quick they struck and the Sooners defense is stingy

 

[stormchaser2014]

Hope OU wins it all so we can say we beat the national champion.

Boomers first scripted series: 7
Dawgs first scripted series: 0

You just can't hope OU gets pummeled when we have a road win over them.

Always love those interviews/clips. You never hear a starting QB say 'I think we'd like to come out and go 3 and out and put the game on the D's shoulders'.
