My apologies to the West Virginia defense


They stopped OU on some big 2nd and 3rd and short plays. Congrats to Coach Stewart and his team. I thought the AD should give him an interview next week, not hire him today. It just feels way too quick. Take the time to interview a few guys. They cited what players said about him and the way he got them prepared. Check out the link here - Link
But it's still just one game. 3 years from now, is this a great move? We'll see.

Now to OU. Wow. That's 4 BCS losses in a row in case you are keeping score. I know they had injuries, but man they looked flat. 113 yards in penalties? Giving up 349 on the ground? The last time OU gave up 300 on the ground? 1993. Again, wow. Which brings us to world class stupid news from this one. No Kelly hurt them. Plus Murray's still hurt. But to lose Demarcus Granger the way they did is just sad for them and stupid for him. If you missed it, here's the link one more time - LINK

Talk about letting your team down. That's 35 tackles(from a DT no less), 3.5 sacks and 8.5 TFL to replace. And then the defense looks like that, doesn't tackle well all night, and made WVA look unstoppable. And all that for a jacket?! I was in that exact mall with the UT Women's team in December. Teams always go in together and usually dressed in their gear. Now I'm with the hoops team, representing UT, and I would be an idiot to try and steal something from a mall. This guy weighs 307 pounds and I am assuming he was wearing OU stuff. Talk about thinking you are bulletproof. I hope it was a sweet jacket, Demarcus. Nice leadership.
