Weekend Bullets: Gundy downplays Bedlam loss

Football

Mike Gundy downplays loss against OU. I actually think he says a lot of good things here. (NewsOK)

Reading everything today is not fun. The general perception: OSU blew the Big 12 title and Stoops owns Gundy. Both are true, of course, but that doesn’t make them more palatable. (Fox SW)

We were on Deadspin a lot yesterday. (Deadspin)

Stop it. Berry ranks this as the best Bedlam of all time?! It wasn’t even a good game until the 4th quarter. 2008 was way better than this one. Same with 2010 and probably 2012 (all OSU losses, FWIW). You want to say best Bedlam ending ever? Fine, but not best game. (NewsOK)

Awesome that Brandon Webb’s dad wore orange to the game. (Tulsa World)

My 10 thoughts on Bedlam. (PFB)

Can we stop acting like yesterday was the best football game ever? The last 18 minutes? Incredible. Everything before that? Awful. (Tulsa World)

Here’s how the game ended — snowballs thrown, popcorn thrown, OU taunting the student section, etc. (Deadspin)

Always enjoy Jimmie Tramel grading the storylines. (Tulsa World)

All in all it’s pretty nuts that we put the game in the hands of our defense and then were SHOCKED when it didn’t come through. That’s quite a shift from last year. (NewsOK)

Shouldn’t officials have at least reviewed the Gilbert pick? (B/R)

Blake Bell says he’s “still in shock.” (NewsOK)

Gabe Ikard: “The legend of the ‘Doze’ grows. What a drive.” (Fox SW)

Kevin Peterson: “I felt like we just got caught up in the moment a little bit. People running around, missing assignments. OU was having great play calls. They caused some people to be missing. Caused some people (to be) out of position. They were doing tempo. We really hadn’t seen that a whole lot. Just give ups to the OU offensive coordinator, because they were really calling the right plays.” (NewsOK)

The dropped pick. I’ve watched it 25+ times. (PFB)

Gundy: “I feel the same way about them now as I did before the game. I just wish we would have made a play there at the end so they could enjoy a Big 12 Championship.” (O’Colly)

Baylor, title belt. That hurts. (Big 12 Sports)

FSU is a titan but Auburn’s gonna give it the kitchen sink. Should be fun. (CBS Sports)

Berry torches OSU right here, I can’t say he’s wrong, either. (NewsOK)

OU’s compliance department was excited for OSU to lose lots of money. (PFB)

I think yesterday was either a Guillotine or a Stomach Punch. (ESPN)

Gundy: “When you’ve taken the program that these players have and you lose a game it hurts. When the other team scores late it always hurts worse. These guys have played so well and every time they lose now it’s like it’s the end of the world.” (Scout)

On Bob Stoops, magic man. (ESPN)

An OSU cheerleader tried to trip an OU player at the end of the game. Gah, what a classless university, dude almost stumbled in the endzone after getting popped in the skull for three straight hours! (PFB)

It really is pretty crazy that Blake Bell was QB No. 3…and he won the game for OU. (B/R)

Gundy: “We gave up 14 points in the kicking game. When you do that, it’s always really tough to win.” (NewsOK)

Bob Stoops as Popeye, this crushed me. (Deadspin)

The Vine in here from Slater is pretty incredible. (NewsOK)

Des Roland: “I can’t even explain it. I feel like we lost everything that we worked for.” (O’Colly)

It would suck quite a bit if the Cotton Bowl chose 8-4 Texas over us. (NewsOK)

Fox SW also has us in the Cotton Bowl. (Fox SW)

Some pretty amazing photos of the game in here. The one of Gundy and Chelf says it all. (Flickr)

Wow.
