So what was Mikes brilliant strategy for facing Army you ask?

Here is what Army's coach had to say about their success running the ball:


"For them, they played a defense that they haven’t played all year and that’s not what we practiced against all
week. We were surprised that they came out in that defense because that’s the defense that our defense runs. We
got a lot of reps banked against a 3-4 defense and I think that’s why our guys were able to execute and do that
effectively enough.”




Running the same defense that Army runs. :burt: They’d never expect it.

Playing the service academies in football is death warmed over. Very difficult to handle because you have to change your defensive scheme for a week. I wouldn't sign on to play any of them.

Oklahoma is a Plains state geographically and a Western state culturally. End of discussion.

Now let’s move on and keep talking about how these land thieves almost lost to Army.

Oklahoma isn’t in the Midwest.

The Midwest starts at the Ohio/PA border and ends just west of Kansas City, and just south of I-70 in Missouri. Arguably places like Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY are the Midwest too... they’re a lot more like Cleveland or Detroit than NYC and Philly. But the western Kansas sand hills or the Ozarks in southern MO are definitely not the Midwest (Branson, MO is 100% the South). Those hills/mountains aren’t the Midwest... the Midwest is flat. And Oklahoma, on the other side of them, sure as shit isn’t. That’s the Bible Belt, man, and it’s culturally way more like north Texas.
Oklahoma is definitely not Pacific West Coast, as you recall, the PAC 12 didn't want them.

Mideast? You mean like Iraq and Syria?

No sir. The Midwest starts when you cross the Appalachian mountains. It’s the part of the country that was known as “the West” by citizens of the new nation just after independence from Britain, and was never settled by the British. What is now Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana was called “the Northwest Territories”. That’s why you’ve got Northwestern University in Chicago.

People started calling it the “Middle West”, or Midwest, as the country spread even farther to what we now call the West. Oklahoma is the West, not the Midwest. They had cowboys and Indians and shit.

That’s the history, but even today, Milwaukee has a hell of a lot more in common with Buffalo or Toledo than Tulsa. The Midwest largely coincides with the Rust Belt.


Iraq and Syria are Middle East.

Looks a lot like this...

Yeah but see the uniform, Army, the Drill Sergeant patch on left pocket, Army, the Drill Sergeant Hat, Army. The right Arm patch is a combat patch, denoting unit deployed in or attached to during a combat tour.

That is a Marine Expeditionary Force unit patch. General Zimmer personally wrote the Army Chief of Staff and requested that the Army units attached to them be allowed to wear it which goes against AR 670-1 and the CoS wrote an authorization memo for it to allow it.

And did not mean to sound like a douche, in previous post but it was late and tired, typed short and came off like a tool, sorry

On my son's first deployment to Ar Ramadi as a reservist in an engineering battalion pre surge, he was awarded a Marine combat patch … much to the chagrin of his command. When he went active and was in jump school he would wear it and always carried a copy of 670-1 in his pocket. Every time his ass was chewed out over wearing it, he would produce the regs allowing it and stand his ground … normally from the front leaning rest position.

No worries.... Seems like you're in the know better than I am on the topic. I'm pro-military, but have been just a civilian.
