had a feeling it was going to turn ugly for OU after the 2nd TAMU TD... OU's offense is so bland, even with all of those weapons, and their defense has zero clue on how to stop Manziel...of course pretty much no one has stopped him, but to have over a month to prep for this game, youd think Mike Stoops would have had his defense playing disciplined football and their DBs would actually cover someone...think Bob Stoops may be on the hot seat in Norman sooner rather than later as Oklahoma doesnt look like itll be in a national title conversation for a good while

Eh, when your history includes the Southwest Conference, I'd be ready and willing to move on, too. 

The Aggies wanted out of the Big 12 for years, largely because - in the words of the late, great Rodney Dangerfield - they got no respect. Moving to the SEC was mostly about reestablishing the program outside UT's shadow; coming into the toughest conference and dominating as they did was an unexpected outcome. And if anything, the "SEC" chant was a f*ck-you to Oklahoma after all the smack Big 12 fans talked about A&M after they jumped.

So, you think "Big Game Bob" (not even close to correct) will take any flack over another OU asskicking in a bowl game? They don't win significant games under Stoops, save for the 13-2 defeat of a way overrated FSU squad. ESPN will probably blame Terrel Pryor for his loss in some way.
