It's more a conversation about rivalries, and their value to fans of CFB. I completely understand having little interest in a series of games against a team you lose to 90% of the time, but that occasional victory over them tastes better than for example, osu's last conference victory, which was over byu.
fan attendance shows us osu fans dont care nearly as much about playing byu, central florida, iowa state etc as when OU is in town, there must be a reason why attendance tends to be higher during bedlam.
There's a whole thread with your name on it. Go be an attention whore there.

I am not interested in flaming or talking crap, just talking ball, and the value of rivalries to this sport

I say this sincerely, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Nothing you have said has made any sense, especially in the context of being replies to my original comment. However, somewhere in that drug-addled mind of yours, you seem to have stumbled upon the kernel of truth behind what my post meant.
Regardless of how I feel about Gundy, I'll always appreciate the fact that he has eternal scoreboard on Venables and that pathetic program.

What Am I talking about? well i was wrong about osu's last conference victory. It was november 25, not november 4.
"Regardless of how I feel about Gundy, I'll always appreciate the fact that he has eternal scoreboard on Venables and that pathetic program."
You see, now this statement proves how much you care. There's a reason why you care this much about beating OU, and that reason, that's what I am talking about.
It's the same reason ohio state people refuse to call their rival michigan, they call them, 'the team up north'. It's the same reason auburn fans refer to bama fans as gumps, and why uga fans call georgia tech 'the north avenue trade school'
Autocorrect doesn't like that toker descriptive word.
Everything from your keyboard is flaming crap...
This. Don't really care about teams we don't play that often.

This is an insane thread.
Let's assume he isn't making up numbers because I just don't care enough to research it. If the last OU game was one of the most attended games - it is probably because we knew it was the last one. Attendance wasn't down last year because we didn't play OU, it was down because our team was terrible. You are trying to draw correlations that just aren't there.
Rivalry games are fun when they are competitive, but Bedlam in football just hasn't been. I don't get pumped for Michigan vs Michigan State - it is another one sided rivalry. Most other sports are more competitive and more interesting. Did you care about Bedlam wrestling? Were you pumped that we got to play against each other in that sport? I just doubt it.
It feels like you came here to be like "Guys, did you miss us?" and it seems like the universal answer is "No". I've been to every home game for years and I absolutely don't miss seeing OU. I'd be happy if this rivalry died.
As this pay-to-win version of football continues to evolve, I really would prefer to not schedule teams that are in conferences that are higher paid than ours. I'm also to the point where I've stopped watching almost all college football that isn't Oklahoma State and put a lot more of my attention into the NFL where they at least have salary caps.

Do you really think asshat looked anything up?
It was a really good thread until the squat shat all over it.

Naw, flaming is irrelevant and boring, mostly uninteresting. I'd rather stick with more congenial methods

Depends on which conference you are referring to. rivalries are good but i've never met an osu fan who cares as much about wvu, kansas, baylor, tcu etc as much as they care about beating OU, they still talk about the last time they beat OU despite it having been several years ago. You have a personal hatred for me, a stranger you've never met, all because I went to, and root for a school that you hate. That's the good stuff though, hate is good, let it flow through you.
I'm just here to talk about the joys of having a rivalry game you care more about and look forward to more than any other game on the schedule

Is there anyone on your schedule that you hate?

I most definitely did, i spent a good amount of time looking that stuff up. Kind of rude of you to say bro

Most definitely made none of it up. The most attended game in the last decade at bps was bedlam. Okay you say it's only because it was "the last one. BUT then the top 3 most attended games in the last decade, all bedlam.
I say this to illustrate that osu fans, outside this forum, care a great deal about this rivalry and it is manifested in the tv ratings and the attendance figures when they play OU. these correlations make it pretty clear that stillwater gets up for OU more consistently than anyone else.
You dont get pumped for msu vs michigan, but the michgan and msu fans do. I dont care about wrestling, just football/basketball. but i appreciate the rivalry in other sports.
I came here to express the sentiment that rivalries are the single best aspect of the best sport in the world, college football. The reason you are happy about the rivalry being on ice is because you dont think your team is good enough to be competitive in it. and i'm betting your new coach will change that sentiment with the fans pretty quickly.
sorry to hear you are not as much of a can of cfb anymore. to me it feels the same on saturdays, the only things that suck about cfb now are mostly happening behind the scenes, but saturdays still have the same electricity to me
