Iowa State vs OU

[Knownothing]

We currently are 5-74-2 against Oklahoma. We need to beat them every single year until 2086 to 500 vs them. I think OU is going to be a little down this year. They have a new coach and new young coaches are never as smart as they everyone thinks. I think we take them this year. Who is your upset on our schedule?

I like us over Baylor @ Waco. Lack of depth and ISU getting them later in the season bodes well for us.

We are not beating OU. While not an upset, I think we beat Texas. Winning at K-State would be huge and the difference of a bowl game chance. I really like K-State's team this year though.

Is beating UNI considered an upset now?

 

[chuckd4735]

I will be shocked if we beat OU this year, and will be shocked if we ever beat them any year. That game will be chalked up as an annual loss in my book until Im convinced otherwise.

Is beating ourselves an upset, or are we considered favorites in every game?

You are on crack. It isn't like they replaced Stoops's entire staff. OU will be very good again.

I think the rest of the schedule is mostly winnable. KState being the toughest one because of their style. OSU will be good, but that type of offense can have a bad day and we could pull an upset. I'd put the best chance with an upset of Texas.

You can put a single digit percentage on the odds of ISU winning in Norman. Heck, I'd be tempted to put the number at 0%.

When's the last time a Big 12 team won in Norman?

I thought I did a better job of joking about beating OU. Showing that we need to win every year until 2086. I in now way think we beat OU at Norman. I would actually say Iowa or Texas but are those even upsets this year?

My best guess for an upset is TCU at home. I wasn't impressed with them last year, though they should be improved.

No way we beat OU. But we sweep non-con and beat KU, KSU, Texas, and Baylor. 7-5. Chance we upset WVU. 8-4. Damn son!!! Wait, but there's a chance we could upset OSU as well. 9-3. WE ARE ON THE MAP!!! Park starts his senior season on the heisman short list

Ironically, it was in Norman the last time we beat OU. Here's why we won't win...Stoops & Riley calculated this transition so that there wasn't a drop off like what happened when Switzer left in the 80's. Riley's inexperience could very well cost them the UT & oSu games (and even KSU) but Riley's familiarity with the program plus their talent level spells yet another big loss for the Cyclones.

I know you were joking but it is a topic that makes one wonder if we'll every beat OU again...

I think we give OSU a run for their money late in November up in Ames, but I think we come up sort... soo an upset for our fan base?

For the sake of all the business owners on Welch I hope we don't beat OU.

Ok. Two flawed problems. This is a better hand off no doubt. However, it is almost the exact same type of hand off in the 80's. The big difference was Gibbs took over for a dumpster fire. They were being hit with all kinds of probation, lost schollarships, Turning Wilkenson dorms from football to all students. Gary Gibbs was the Wayne Morgan of OU football at the time. Actually it was a lot like that.

You just made my point, Killer. OU football is far, far from the dumpster fire Switzer left. And don't think that's not on the mind of OU fans.

In 2014, they lost to OSU, KSU and BU in Norman. Weird year for them.

 

[Goothrey]

One of the worst, if not worst, head to head records of any D1 matchup. Last win came exactly two weeks before I was born.

 

[oldman]

Could we beat them? Yes. Will we beat them? Gotta go with no.
