Landry is now up to 8,938 career passing yards at OU. He had 448 last night, and some Oklahoma media types thought he had a so-so game because of a couple of "picks."

Anyone else going to the RRR on Oct 8th? I'll be wearing my UT shirt and sitting with my UT compadres and quietly cheering for Landry and the Sooners!

I have no Sooner allegiance. I have a Landry allegiance! I'll go back to pulling for UT in the annual RRR as soon as he graduates.

In a short article in the latest Sporting News "Measuring College Football's QB's" their draft expert Russ Lande, a former NFLscout, has Landry the second QB taken after Luck (#1 pick) and going in the second round. I dont think he will get out of the first and disagree with all the people who have Barkley of USC ahead of him.

I have no Sooner allegiance. I have a Landry allegiance! I'll go back to pulling for UT in the annual RRR as soon as he graduates. HA HA! WOW! You just described me perfectly! I had been a diehard Longhorn fan since about 1968 until, well, until Landry gave his verbal to OU. I have wondered many times over the past couple of years whether or not I will continue to be an OU fan after Landry graduates. I honestly don't know. Don't really feel any allegiance towards OU. Mainly just an OU fan right now because Landry is there. I could very easily revert back to my Horn ways after Landry leaves. But who knows? However, I WILL be rooting for the Sooners in the RRR this year, just as I have every year since Landry has been at OU!

I've been an OU fan my whole life. I grew up in Oklahoma. Most of my family still lives there. I will still be an OU fan long after Landry is gone. It is extremely satisfying to see someone from Artesia as the QB of the Sooners. When I was little, all OU ever did was run the ball. I'm not a real fan of the short passing game, but whatever puts the 'W' on the board is fine with me. BOOMER SOONER!

At last years RRR game I was planning on wearing a neutral green or yellow shirt as I was a guest of two UT grads and didn't want to wear OU colors sitting in the UT section. They wouldn't have it and bought me a UT polo so I wore it but rooted for OU. It was quite funny to me, not so much to them.
Then after the game, we kept getting remarks from the OU fans about how they won. I was happy and they were hacked off!

We have enough Artesia history (Steve Barrett, Toby Rhodes and Fred Malone) that it should be almost mandatory. Seriously, if you don't want to stay "one of us," that's okay, I do know that the Longhorns have a presence in southeastern New Mexico that pre-dates Landry.

(ho hum, another 400-yard effort from Landry - and I still can't help but laugh at the thought of what he'd do to UNM's pitiful defense if given a full game against it.... NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Landry Jones threw for 425 yards and five touchdowns, Tony Jefferson fueled a second-quarter scoring surge with three interceptions and second-ranked Oklahoma geared up for its rivalry game against Texas next week by beating Ball State 62-6 on Saturday night. Jones had touchdown passes of 64 yards to Ryan Broyles and 56 yards to Jaz Reynolds a minute apart in the third quarter during the second high-volume scoring stretch for the Sooners (4-0). Ball State (3-2) didn't stand much of a chance after recovering an onside kick to open the game, then going three-and-out, particularly after Jefferson stopped three straight Cardinals drives with picks midway through the second quarter. It was the second straight week the Sooners had an unimpressive start before taking control with 28 straight points in the second quarter.

LOL Pats-game notes from soonersports.com: Landry Jones• Landry Jones' 425 passing yards was the fifth highest total of his career and the sixth time he has eclipsed the 400-yard benchmark. Jones owns six of OU's 10 400-yard passing games. • Jones entered the game with five touchdown passes and threw for five tonight. He has four games with five or more TDs, including the school record of six against Tulsa in 2009.

I have mentioned before, a guy who goes by the username "HolaKyle" on a bunch of the OU message boards. He is undoubtedly the KING when it comes to OU highlight videos. He is the "Randall" of the OU boards when it comes to making highlight videos. All of his stuff is top notch and very professional. He puts all of his videos up on his youtube channel. He does one for every game. Heck, his video of the Ball State game is already up. Anyway, I really like this video that he did. He did this "Hype" video right at the beginning of the season. I have watched it probably a half dozen times over the past few days. I guess the reason I like this one so much is because of the song. The song is "Sooners Don't Back Down" by a rock group called "Hinder". Hinder is a band out of Oklahoma. Just one more thought............at the VERY beginning of the video (at the :20 mark) that throw that Landry makes while rolling to his right has NFL written all over it! Here is the video, and also a link to HolaKyle's youtube channel. www.youtube.com/user/HolaKyle

DOMINATION with a "big D"
DALLAS (AP) -- Landry Jones and the Oklahoma Sooners made a strong case Saturday to return to the top of the college football poll.
Having slipped from first to second to third over successive weeks, the Sooners showed they deserve to be considered the best in the land with a 55-17 thrashing of No. 11 Texas.
Oklahoma stomped its top rival almost as easily as it did lowly Ball State the previous week, getting three touchdown passes from Jones, a 64-yard touchdown run by Dominique Whaley and three defensive touchdowns.
The Sooners (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) scored the first four times they had the ball. They were up by 24 points at halftime and by 45 midway through the fourth quarter on the way to their most lopsided win in this series since 2003, when they won by a series-record 52 points.
The Longhorns (4-1, 1-1) were trying to figure out how far they've come since being 5-7 last season. Now coach Mack Brown's knows just how far his squad still has to go, especially on offense.
Sophomore Case McCoy and freshman David Ash had their share of rookie mistakes at quarterback, such as McCoy fumbling twice (one returned 19 yards for a touchdown by David King) and Ash throwing two interceptions (one returned 55 yards for a touchdown by Demontre Hurst).
McCoy and Ash couldn't keep drives going. The Sooners swarmed running plays and the youngsters were only able to complete short passes. The longest completions before the game turned into a joke were a screen for 15 yards and an 18-yarder along the sideline against a prevent defense in the final seconds of the first half.
How silly did it become? Late in the third quarter, Texas let a first-and-10 at the Oklahoma 15 turn into a fourth-and-49 from its own 47. The ensuing punt didn't even reach the first-down marker.
Texas' only touchdowns came on a kickoff return late in the first half, and a pass in the final minutes. The Longhorns also had an early field goal that had gotten them to 6-3.
The Sooners were so ready for the Longhorns that they let them know it before kickoff. Oklahoma players lined up between the 30s and hollered at Texas players as they ran onto the field. Coaches and officials scrambled to maintain peace.
OU drove inside the Texas 10 on its first two series, but settled for field goals of 26 and 24 yards, seemingly bothered by the noise at the end of the field occupied by Texas fans. The Sooners moved into the friendly end for the start of the second quarter and, on the first play, Jones threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills.
An interception by Tony Jefferson -- a linebacker who picked off passes on three consecutive series against Ball State -- gave Jones another series. After threading a 30-yard pass between two defenders on a third-and-25, Jones hit Ryan Broyles with a 5-yard pass just inside the right front corner of the end zone.
The play had to be reviewed, and Oklahoma fans used the break to start chanting "Boomer! Sooner!" Longhorns fans answered with their chant "Texas! Fight!" Their cries lasted longer and were louder than their foe's, only to end with the news that the touchdown stood.
Texas fans were hardly heard from again. Once Oklahoma got its third defensive score -- a 56-yard return of a fumble by Jamell Fleming with 11:22 left -- most folks in burnt orange headed out to drown their sorrows at the State Fair going on all around the Cotton Bowl.
Jones was 31 of 50 for 367 yards and no turnovers. He improved to 2-0 against the Longhorns, and gave Oklahoma its third win in five years against its Red River rival.
Broyles caught nine passes for 122 yards, leaving him four receptions shy of the NCAA career record. Stills caught five passes for 51 yards and two touchdowns.
Whaley ran for 83 yards on 13 carries.
McCoy was 9 of 16 for 116 yards with three sacks. Ash was 11 of 20 for 107 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions and four sacks.
Jaxon Shipley caught nine passes for 89 yards, including a 4-yard TD pass from Ash with 2:31 left.
Fozzy Whitaker had the 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, tying the school record set by Johnny "Lam" Jones in 1978. He also ran for 43 yards and caught a pass for 15.
