Don't do it, Oklahoma fans. Enjoy the way that coach Bob Stoops has used chewing gum and baling wire to take this injury-riddled team to 8-2. Don't think about the loss at Oregon depriving you of being in the national championship conversation. Even a win at Oregon...

With Texas losing to Kansas State, a Longhorn loss to Texas A&M in two weeks would mean an opening for Oklahoma to win the South by beating Baylor and Oklahoma State. OU is playing hard enough and tough enough to make it happen, now it needs a little help...

Thompson's play was an eye-opener for Tech coach Mike Leach. "Certainly as far as throwing the ball, this is the best game I've seen him play," Leach said. "The thing I thought he did well, even though he was inconsistent as well, was he dealt with adversity and disappointments...

Who would have thought Oklahoma's Paul Thompson would out-pass Texas Tech's heralded Graham Harrell (309-250) in the Sooners' 34-24 victory over the Red Raiders Saturday? OU coach Bob Stoops for one. “Paul made a lot of great throws,'' Stoops said...

Questions: A tipped pass, involving Oregon and a Pac-10 replay official? This can't be happening again. Did Stoops know he could have challenged the review of a) the botched onsides kick call or b) the botched pass interference call on Sept. 16? When contacted Sunday afternoon...
