I'm So glad I found this thread!! I needed a good laugh today! I wondered how long it would take before the OU excuse machine would come up with some cute pet names for their shame!.... "gift wrapped" huh? Cute! LOL I like it! What do you think Wildcat Fans? Shall we go with that one? How bout next week when we are all the biggest OU fans alive as they are laying a whipping on ND for us we write Sooner Nation a big thank you note and say:
"Thank you Bobby and Team for blocking out front for us just like Bill taught you! We
appreciate you for getting ND out of the way for us! That was mighty pretty gift wrapping!
P.S. The bow you added (making our strength of schedule go up) was a nice touch too!
So let me see if I have this straight... In a nutshell you are saying if Bell didn't fumble and if (xyx, etc etc... you fill in the blanks with one of several sloppy football errors of your choice) didn't happen you win the game, right? Ummm, yeah! DUH! If you weren't on the field facing a superior football team scaring the crap out of your QB and causing those errors and an offense running all over your D, carrying out a perfectly crafted game plan.... Yes you would have won the game. But you didn't, because we created the things that happened on both sides of the ball! Bobby and Mike basically said exactly that in the post game presser -- re-play it! So if you still want to say that game was GIFT WRAPPED, so be it. WE picked out the wrapping paper (shiny purple foil), brought it with us, spread it all over your turf, rubbed your nose in it all 4 quarters, and stood up and said, now wrap it up nicely for us boys we're ready to head home and tucked and ran with the victory present!
Sound pretty cocky? Sadly yes! Unfortunately it seems that's the only language you speak! We aren't like that unless disrespected first. You have beat us plenty, hands down. No disrespecting that or taking it away --- however what you can't seem to accept is that the past doesn't remove the here and NOW. Comments like those above about our game with you and about us in general on this thread speak to the fact that many OU fans continue to live in the past and to talk trash even in defeat.That is one thing K-State fans don't do! WE KNOW our record PAST and PRESENT. We know when were were awful and when we weren't. When we were just descent and rebuilding. If you won you won. If you whipped us outright you did. Your fan base would earn a lot of respect that the victories of your team has earned them if you acted the same! However If you choose to stay in denial and make excuses for out right loses and talk to those who beat you outright don't be surprised when your reputation as sore losers continues to grow and people as usually humble as us workhorse K-State fans don't fire up and take a page out of your cocky book and throw it right back at you as I did here! You own it!
Yes you seem to be rolling now! Never doubted for a second you would! And I mean that with earned respect! But like you said. This IS the Big12 so who knows! It certainly is week to week! Any team could lose any week. K-State could lose every game left on our schedule... and so could you! I highly doubt we will, nor that you will either. And yes, in part you DO have us to thank for your roll!! We certainly don't expect a thank you... but you definitely got punched in the mouth by us HARD and you felt it for days! You can call it what you want, you can try to "re-name" it to fool yourselves! We delivered it, the nation saw it, you felt it and the football worlds KNOWS Sooner Nation knows EXACTLY what it was.... A good old fashioned home field LOSS!!.... There was certainly NO pretty wrapping paper picked out and placed on that ass whipping by you! I'm telling you.... our boys knew in their hearts what they were going there to deliver....you never saw it coming!
