I am unapologetic in my OU homerism.
You just have to approach me from that angle and accept it.
If your dad started dragging you to games as soon as you could understand the concept of "first down" and "Barry Switzer is God", you'd understand
Actually in reference to USC, OU played them a lot in the early 80's. And for what it's worth, back then, USC owned OU -- at least they were close games... Watched the '81 game on ESPN classics a few months back. Very sad.

Don't cry when you play in a conference title game - you made your bed, now lie in it. It's a silly idea, and it does very little, in my mind, to further the SEC or Big 8 (there will be NO big xii references anymore, i decree) as the supposed 'powerhouses' of the planet.

Yeah, I won't lie. Last year, the Big XII had a horrible OOC record. But look at the matchups. It was primarily the weak sisters of the Big XII vs. good teams from other conferences. Except in Texas' case. And I can't apologize enough for them. They're kind of a disgrace to the conference as a whole -- losing to Arkansas and Wazzu... vewy bad.
The other matchups had Kansas KANSAS (who is like Vandy of the SEC basically) playing against NC State. Yeah, of course they got rolled. The LSU-OU game was at least VERY close, came down to the last play in fact. That was at least respectable.
