Missouri

Sooners beat Missouri 38 - 17 on Big 12 Championship in San Antonio. Congratulation! Let's play in Fiesta Bowl!

I'm watching the game right now. There are lots of penalties already. They need to chill out and don't do those silly mistakes

Lately,media has been pimping Missouri as the-team-to-win-it-all. I feel them. Their once #1 pimp LSU went down twice, Ohio fell once, South Florida went from arising Cinderella to who's-that, Oregon? Bye bye Quackers. It's tough to pick one favorite if these teams keep falling unexpectedly any given week. So now they welcome a new favorite for the picking: the Missouri Tigers. ESPN, Fox Sports, CNN, you name it. They think Tigers are the next best thing after a slice of bread.

The thing that I find somewhat aggravating, though is that it comes at Sooners expense. A lot of times they mention how Missouri could have won it in Norman had they not self-destructed in the fourth quarter. They were leading by 10 points then BAM, OU got a momentum from turnovers and the rest is history.

Few things to note when you make the trip to San Antonio this weekend:

- Texas highway patrol is increasing their "coverage" on the northeast side of San Antonio including Randolph AFB and San Antonio International Airport area. So watch out.

- I-35 is having some construction between I-410 and the Bexar/Guadalupe county lines, so you'd have to slow down on those areas.

- If you're still looking for hotel rooms, check out some locations around Randolph AFB and Sea World. You might be in luck.

- Good luck getting the ticket. It's a hell.

Not bad of a game last Saturday :) . Despite some turnovers and questionable defense schemes, OU handled Missouri pretty well. Tigers came into Norman as a highly ranked offense team, so it was hard to keep their "O" in check like the way Sooners did it.

But IMO the last Missouri's touchdown was a freebie. Our defense was terrible on that run and it seemed like they just let the WRs catch the ball and ran for couple of more yards before getting tackled. It might worked against Missouri in two minutes before the game ended, but doing it against caliber teams like LSU, BC or USF? Not a good idea.

This is a useful information from OU Sports Info in case you guys are wondering where to hang out during OU-Missouri game:
