    Last year's Fiesta Bowl gave us a memorable game. Will history repeat?

    I shall pull for the Mountaineers.

    they don't have a coach, he sold out to Michigan.
    isn't this the same team that lost to a Dave Wansted coached Pitt team with the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP on the line?

    What game will be over first, Boston/Houston or WVU/OU? Sadly, I think Boston/Houston is going to be over soon.

    Pat White dislocated his finger. No back up was adequetly prepared. Just like when Colt went out against Kansas St.

    This is arguably the fastest team in college football. I wanna see OU deal with this kind of speed.

    OU needs to turn it around. Their last 3 BCS appearances have been an absolute 5-star, bareback cornholing in the title game by USC, an epic loss/choke to underdog Boise State that will go down in history, and currently a spanking by a good but coach-less WVU team.

    Yeah the WVU full back Owen Schmitt had a 57 yard touchdown run. Even though FB isn't a need for the Texans, I would love to have him on our team. He has the potential to be one of the better FB's in recent history.

    Wow, WVU up 19 going into the third. I don't think anyone saw this happening. What's going on with Stoops in bowl games?

    Wow! :eek: Stoops with a very poor decision that wreaks of desperation.

    WVU's offense awesome to watch. Pat White is one of my all-time college football players ever.

    34-15! OU's defense just can't adjust to their speed. OU's defense isn't slow but it must be hard to prepare for a team like that.

    OU has literally been holding on every single passing play in the second half. Their tackles can't stop the speed rush so they just grab.

    Pat White again, 79 yards! 40-21.

    And he's back again next year.

    It also doesn't help when Sam Carr holds onto the ball forever.

    finally a national audience is getting to notice what UT fans have known forever. there really is no team that holds (and gets away with it) as much.

    and i thought for sure when white let that pass go it was gonna be a pick (considering how terrible he's been throwing the ball tonight) but somehow it even turned into a fluke TD. for once, a break goes against ou.

    wvu needs the clock to run so good job giving up 45 yards in penalties on back to back plays to get ou down the field in no time. brilliant.

    oh my, another long play against the ou defense. noel devine trying to live up to the hype (apparently those incredible cuts he made in high school against those crappy defenses are still plenty good at this level). he definitely knows how to run and find a hole and he's not going to be caught.
