Irish at Sooners and the New Rivalries

[Notre Dame Joe]

Well who'd have thunk it. Notre Dame, Michigan, Oklahoma, Nebraska are in two stadia today, but not the matchups history would suggest.

But this is the future. Michigan and Nebrasa are linked. ND-Michigan is winding down.

I don't know if we have a long term relationship with the Big12 now that the conference race has ended, but we sure will be seeing both OK and TX a few times, while Nebs will meet all of our old big10 neighbors. The future is now I guess.

Meanwhile.

Stoops hasn't lost two home games in a year.

ND hasn't lost in Norman.

something's gotta give

I'm a Sooners fan today. I hope they throttle ND all day without the benefit of a reach around

 

[NUance]

The line is OU +10. That sounds about right.

 

[Nebraska Alum]

I'm hoping that Notre Dame can upset the Sooners tonight in order to weaken Kansas State's strength of schedule. And I like watching Stoops lose.

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Normally I would agree with you, but my hatred for ND runs deep...very deep. Almost to the point of being unhealthy

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

This is excruciating. Our D was hanging on for dear life, giving up 110 yards in the first 4 minutes. The offense gets all these opportunities and then drops a ball, misses a lane, or Golson doesn't see the WR.

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

Late Holding call takes a TD off the board. Stoops turning redder than Sooner's jersey.

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

A scoreless 3rd quarter. I can't believe it

sooners somehow miss a 3rd down, or waste it with a run.

Irish drive 70 yards, Golson gets rocked, missed FG

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

9:18 we gave up our first rushing td again

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

That was a stupid "catch" by OU. Should have let it fall to the ground.

 

[Flood]

Sooners self-destructed here at the end. To be fair, they are not used to competing at this level, these last few years.

And I am no fan of Notre Dame, but they have to be congratulated. They clawed their way back to the top after a very long turn in purgatory. Hopefully we can join them in that stratosphere in the next year or two.

 

[NUance]

ND scores another TD. Oh Stoops. :facepalm:

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

So glad I didn't watch this game. Mushberger is deep throating the Irish

 

[NUance]

Sooners get the mercy score at the end. 30-20.

/Edit: Play called back to the 1 yd line. Guy's foot was OB. lol
