12th Man This!!! (OU Sooner Update)

By far the weirdest game I've ever seen. 11 passes from the Sooners, completing only 4 of them. Bob Stoops took his big brass pair and threw them right on the field TWICE!! Once in the first half on the on-sides kick call. 3 (THREE!!!!) Sooners get a hand on the ball and can't come up with it. It's called stick-em fellas, try it. That or some of Elmer's finest....aTm gets the ball on or about the 50 and then OU decides to give them 30 yards of field position. One on a taunting penalty because this was apparently the first time he's tackled anyone, so he had to stand over the player and go all Tarzan about it. The VERY NEXT play we bump a guy a little too far out of bounds for another 15 yard gift. (Home cookin' call if you ask me). aTm puts it in and we are in a ball game. aTm takes advantage of Bob Stoops apparent promotion of his 4 year old to Offensive Coordinater, and pushes us 3 and out about 12 straight times, and of a fumble by PT that they turned into 6 points to make it 17-16. Now, aTm fans, please tell me why, if you have a 300lb running back, 3rd and goal from the 2, why do you not give him the ball? My only guess is that Fran felt one-upped by Stoops and then named HIS 4 yr old offensive coordinater. Lucky for us Fran's boy plays not to win. By 10pm, Stoops son had long since fallen asleep but left instructions with Kevin Wilson to still do nothing but run the ball. We get ourselves in a 3 and inch position on our own 30, and DON'T MAKE IT!! Stoops takes his dear sweet time figuring out whether to punt, or go for it, punt, or go for it. He then removes his brass pair and throws them on the field again, WE'RE GOING FOR IT BOYS AND GIRLS!! PT takes the snap, line pushes, 1ST DOWN!! Wait, why are whistles blowing?? OH NO!! Stoops realized his son had woken, and had to remove his nuts quick like from the field (he's a family man) so as not to subject his son to such things. Oh, wait, false alarm, he's just sleep walking!! Stoops recasts his nuts back out on the field!! The aggie's then take the "12th Man" theme a little to far and actually put a 12th man on the field! WOOHOO!! GAME OVER!! We take a knee twice and hold on for the most boring 1 pt win I have ever watched. Another great game by AD's replacement, Allen Patrick went off for 173 yards on 32 carries, but did fumble again. All in all, it's a win, I will take it. Texas Tech in town next Saturday. We owe them one big time from last year's replay debacle.
