OU TAKES CARE OF IOWA STATE - PREPARE FOR GAUNTLET

#15 OKLAHOMA 52 IOWA STATE 16

IOWA STATE – DON’T LOOK AHEAD

And they didn’t.  The Sooners took care of business on Saturday with a 52-16 blow-out of Iowa State.  The win ran Bob Stoops record to 11-0 against the Cyclones, with all 11 victories being of the double digit variety.

The last time OU lost to Iowa State you didn’t ask? George H. W. Bush (that’s the first Bush, FYI) was President.  Nothing Compares to You - by Sinead O’Connor (when she still had her hair, FYI) topped the music charts and Pretty Woman (pre-Lyle Lovette dalliance, FYI) was #1 at the box office.  

The last time OU lost to Iowa State? Gary Gibbs was the head coach, Cale Gundy was the QB and the Sooners were ineligible to participate in a post season bowl game.  When OU last lost to the Cyclones, I was 25 years old, my new cell phone looked like a big white brick and Al Gore’s internet was still another calendar year away from public use…which was for me, was 25 years, two marriages and 60 lbs. ago…okay maybe 65.  Yes, the last time Iowa State beat the Oklahoma Sooners in a football game was 1990.

The win moved the Sooners to 8-1 on the season and 5-1 in conference play…and sets up what will be a very interesting three-week stretch.

Up next: THREE

Just the opinion of one mildly interested guy
