Over 41 million lost? WOW

It might not be as bad as you think. About 85% of the money lost was BKB's.

He lost v10Million with his eponymous handle alone. And his HoltWVU handle only bet v100, so that didn't stem the bleeding much at all.

No, this is a bad day for BKB; but everybody else is fine. Or at least so they tell me/us.

FWIW, I listened to CC for a short bit on ESPN radio this morning. I couldn't believe my ears. He said that he was going to "tazer" anyone who bashed the Buckeyes today (1/3/08), because last year's game was "just one bad game". He then went on to lambast Stoops and Choke-lahoma (his words). I was surprised.

He ended up tazering himself a few times (audio only - he's not that tough).

Really it was just 3 people. BB73, Bkb & Tall Indian lost a combined $39 + million.

It was like the vpoor losing a 100 bet. They can afford it.

The question got me wondering, so I dug up some old records.

the last 10 years' bowl results for Oklahomie looks like this:

2007 season - L Fiesta Bowl - 48-28 to West Virginia
2006 season - L Fiesta Bowl - 43-42(OT) to Boise St.
2005 season - W Holiday Bowl - 17-14 over Oregon
2004 season - L Orange Bowl - 55-19 to USC
2003 season - L Sugar Bowl - 21-14 to LSU
2002 season - W Rose Bowl - 34-14 over Washington State
2001 season - W Cotton Bowl - 10-3 over Arkansas
2000 season - W Orange Bowl - 13-2 over Florida State
1999 season - L Independence Bowl - 27-25 to Ole Miss
1998 season - No Bowl Game

How Stoops and OKlahoma continues to get love from the media, especially in light of their Bowl performance over the past 5 years, is a mystery to me...

I think the media is finally starting to figure this out... from Stewart Mandel @ cnnsi.com:
So we've seen this plenty of times over the past few years: Oklahoma highly ranked and highly touted going into a BCS bowl only to be embarrassed. So what is it? Are they under-motivated, overrated or just choke artists?
--Mike, New York City

It's pretty puzzling me to me how the same coach, Bob Stoops, who won a national championship in his second season, won nine of his first 10 games against top-10 foes and to this day has an absolutely sterling overall record has now lost four straight BCS bowl games, three of which his team was widely expected to win, two of which have been absolute blowouts. It's equally puzzling why Oklahoma has not suffered anywhere near the same backlash that Ohio State -- 3-1 in BCS games under Jim Tressel -- has endured for its sole bad showing a year ago.


Obviously, each game had its own unique circumstances, whether it was Jason White's injury against LSU or Boise State's improbable series of trick plays or the absence of four key starters (WR Malcolm Kelly, DT DeMarcus Granger and DBs Lendy Holmes and Reggie Smith) that unquestionably contributed to West Virginia's dismantling of the Sooners Wednesday night.

BKB's real name is "Bob Brown", was born in 1973 and he is a 6'8" Sioux. You do the math.
