Great week to be a Sooner, I would imagine.  Great win in Columbus and even Sam Bradford looked great on Monday.

I loved the way Baker Mayfield ran around like an idiot, planted the flag and then apologized a few days later by saying he had no idea it was a faux pas because it's what Sooners just naturally do every time they beat Texas.

There were two really beautiful things about that comment.

1. It validated everything everybody outside of Oklahoma imagines about Oklahomans innate inability to be couth.

2. It also validated the fact that Texas might go 5-7 from now on and we'll still be under Oklahoma's skin and the motivation for everything ...

Blah blah blah.  Believe it or not but at the moment I don't believe OU is thinking much about Texas.  You don't see me or other Sooners posting on Texas threads here do you?  Coz frankly, and I don't mean any offense, not really, but you all are one big yawn at this point.
And, seriously?  You aren't even aware that Baker Mayfield is from Texas?  Austin. He led Lake Travis HS to a state championship even.  So as you point the finger at us, you have three pointing back at yourself.
So I'm not sure what is he validated last Saturday, whether it's a keen ability to lead his team to victory against a stout opponent, or a keen penchant for acting crazy as a loon in the froth of victory, but I'm pretty sure of one thing:
You would have loved it if a QB like Baker had been sporting burnt orange, not crimson and cream, last Saturday.  

Not to mention, Lake Travis High is basically Baja Oklahoma anyway.  That kid's not really a Texan.

Baker Mayfield referenced Texas in his apology.  Hence, my post.  
Are you isolated in cabin somewhere like the Unibomber or what?

You claimed he was an Oklahoman in your post.  Hence my rebuttal, which I see you're dodging but what else is new.  You've been dodging my barbs for about 20 years - lol.

I just looked at the rosters for OU and OSU

The sooners have 37 pf 99 players from Texas

The boys have 51 of 99 players from Texas

like I said, the sooners are doomed

You claimed he was an Oklahoman in your post.  Hence my rebuttal, which I see you're dodging but what else is new.  You've been dodging my barbs for about 20 years - lol.

Is David Boren an Oklahoman?  Was Sam Houston a Texan?  Is Bruce Willis an American?
Are we defined by where we choose to live or where our parent's chose to live?
Hmm...

Lake Travis ain't Austin.  It's a weird, weird place.  Lots of meth out there, so the kids fit right in when they make it to Norman.

Slick - yes after 20 years of posting "here" I'll have to agree with utee's nickname for you.

You way over-reached, trying to say that Baker exemplifies Oklahomans when he grew up in Texas, played high school football in Texas and tried at first to play for a Texas college team.  

Just accept it. You made a boo-boo.  I still love you regardless, in non homo erotic kind of way.

Okay, I get the non homo way but surely it's somewhat erotic.  It's football.
Be a man, like Bret Bielema and just admit it.   Conversations in September are much chubbier than conversation in April or July.
As for the other part... you denying that the current face of Sooner football exemplifies Oklahoma.  Well, I'll just let you off the hook for that.
