Why was this OU game different?

    To all the posters on this thread: Yes, the last 3 years have been inexcusable. Yes, Mack needs to go. I only have one question: After the game in '09 when we had just beaten OU for the 4th time in 5 years, did Stoops have his "Jihad" get his guys "more fired up" "outcoach" Mack in this big rivalry game, etc...? It's easy now to pile on, and I am as guilty as anyone, but I don't believe ANY POSTER was saying all these things after the "09 game! If you did, I totally missed it! If you want to say this is the case the last 3 years, I agree, but don't tell me you believed this in '09. You, as i did, thought we had "turned the corner" and Mack no longer had that "deer in the headlights" vs. Stoops as the series was narrowed to 6-5 Mack vs. Stoops. To say it's always been like this the past 14 years is just not fair.

    Uhhh....

    we should have destroyed OU that year. We won by THREE POINTS because of our defense. Their defense completely manhandled us on offense. We had no business winning that game based on the play of our defense. Stoops definitely out coached mack brown that year, we just happened to have enough on defense to get the W.
