I Almost Forgot The Most Important Thing

HUGE props to the West Virginia Mountaineers. They were focused and fired up, and they came to play. I don't think anyone seriously expected them to be as focused and ready as they were, and it showed. What a tremendous effort by their players, and especially quarterback Pat White. You guys really deserved the win. I still think OU probably would've won if they'd actually showed up for the game, but I do need to give credit where credit is due. Last year, OU managed to climb out of the hole and get beat by a rinky-dink team using the Pop Warner playbook. (I almost expected Boise State to come out this year using the Wing-T. How can anyone take a team that plays on that eye-straining blue field seriously?) But West Virginia came out, played their game, took it to OU in every area, and won straight up. No tricks, no BS (pardon the pun), just great football. West Virginia, you played a great game and showed exactly why you should have had a chance to play for the National Championship.

And that's the last thing I'm going to say about this.
