From: CNNSI.com (So close, but yet so far)
"On paper, they [texas] did many of the things it should take to win. They held the defending national champions to 206 yards of offense. Their star quarterback was 24-of-42 for 198 yards. And they knocked the other team's quarterback out of the game. But the fifth-ranked texas longhorns did not win their football game against No. 3 Oklahoma on Saturday, and despite what their coach would have you think, it wasn't even that close.....In year four of the much-hyped Mack Brown era of texas football, and year three for the wonderboy Simms, the longhorns have yet to find their storybook ending. And it's not likely to happen any time soon. But the 'horns themselves remain in denial.....the Sooners have won 18 consecutive games and a national championship because they know what they do with the talent, something Texas is still struggling to grasp."
And from the Sooner Times Message Boards: "texas wide receiver Roy Williams conceded the Sooners are good, but not before coming up with an explanation for why OU has beaten texas the past two years - Oklahoma gets lucky. 'They’re not better than us,' he said after the game. 'They’re just not. They just get the breaks.'
You're right, Roy. OU isn't better than you. Our coaching staff has decided it is better to be lucky than good. We've just beaten you two straight years by a combined score of 77-17."
"Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure." -- Earl Wilson, newspaper columnist
I heard the score yesterday from our Cub Master who is an OSU graduate. His wife, who is also and OSU grad, sang the WHOLE Sooner song. It was a riot. I am glad they won for you! :)

I think OSU gets texas at home next week -- so they'll have their turn, too! *tee hee*
