So much for that OU argument of "but we are better now." This is Bob Stoops in 2002 after hearing talk that Colorado would beat Oklahahoma if they played again (OU won the game 27-11):
In the immediate wake of Oklahoma University?s 27-11 win over Colorado University more than a month ago, the Buffs strongly voiced their desires for a rematch with the Sooners. Colorado?s comments irked Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who believed Colorado had its chance, and blew it accordingly.
?Everybody gets their shot when it comes on Saturday,? he said in November. ?Everybody knows the date. Be ready to play. If you watch the PGA, they don?t get a mulligan on the first tee, do they??
Of course there is also the "but we are hot now" which I didnt see OU trumpeting in 2003 after losing the Big 12 Title game by 4 touchdowns and still playing for the BCS title.
