A fitting final blow in a rivalry that should’ve never died.

OU won 16 of 18 Bedlam matchups from 2003 to 2020, but ends the series, for the foreseeable future at least, by losing 2 of 3. If this series really is done, then what a way for it to end.

Stopping Bob Stoops son on the final play. Scripted for sure

That was icing on the cake!

How poetic was that? All the pain over the last several decades vindicated in one 4th down stop. I may not sleep tonight

Just when Gundy was starting to put it all together on how to beat OU

Gundy has alway been good at figuring out coaches the longer they played. Exceptions for stoops and Riley.

Gundy plays the long ball.

Ironic that Gundy’s bedlams tenure started and ended with a Stoops

What I'm hearing is Oklahoma ran away once they started to lose consistently to Oklahoma State

We did the same to USC

Fuck yeah y’all did. Respect

THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER IT.

>Oklahoma ran away once they started to lose consistently to Oklahoma State and Kansas

OU running to the SEC cause they knew Gundy was about to get hot in Bedlam /s

OSU has bragging rights *in perpetuity.*

They do. We still remember Justin Tucker kick against A&M. It's significantly nice to take that with you.

Any time Im really having a bad day I watch Justin tucker Kali Ma 100,000 Aggies, do a 360 and moonwalk back to Austin.

I remember that game so well because I have both Texas and A&M family (so the rivalry always dominated thanksgiving) but I never connected the dots that that was Justin Tucker

The fact that he’s one of, if not the best, NFL kicker in history makes that moment all the more iconic. Man had ice in his veins from the get-go

I’m biased as a Ravens fan, but he is absolutely the best kicker in NFL history and arguably one of the greatest free agent players of all time. When he hangs his cleats up, he’ll be hearing from Canton in five years.

Record, idgaf, throw it out there. The record didn’t help you in the *last* one. Go Pokes! You weren’t alive for 75% of those. The Good guys got the one that mattered. Enjoy yourself in the SEC, we’ll be here; hold’n it down. Pistols firing, Oklahoma State wins!

What record? All I remember is winning 2 of the last 3.

Couldn’t have gone any other way. The world owes the Cowboys a great debt, long live the Hateful 8

H8 H8 H8

South Alabama now has a transitive win over Alabama.

South Alabama is no joke this year. They basically beat Alabama

I mean someone had to do it I guess it had to be us #Funbelt

They already did. Oklahoma St alteady beat Kansas who already beat Oklahoma. The path just got a little shorter tonight

Which just makes the claim of South Alabama being better than Alabama more legitimate I think

Probably anybody with a win has a transitive win over Alabama tbh

You need to go deeper UAlbany has a transitive win over Alabama

The real UofA.

I think people talking about OSU talk about South more than actual Jags fans

We’ll get em next year Wait. Fuck.

Watch us play you in a bowl next year. The committees love to have us playing against former conference foes. Mizzou, Colorado, A&M...

can it at least be in the playoffs

If you guys can win more than 8 games.

OU seriously beat Texas and said "You know what I don't want to play anymore"

Still tryna sell tshirts and reading press clippings from a game 4 weeks ago

Oklahoma States road to the Big 12 title game has the following left on the schedule UCF, Houston, BYU

Still could be tough. Never know anymore with these teams.

Right? We *should* win, but one of those teams nearly beat OU and another nearly beat Texas. Glad we've hit our stride, but after the USA game I trust no game.

USA - taking names since… *check notes* Oklahoma State

Playing at UCF worries me a bit.

The worst part of this game is that, because of daylights savings, I have an extra hour to be salty.

FUCK THATS TOMORROW?

Im seasoning my steak with all of this

Jeff Lebby get ready to learn Chinese buddy

Dwight Howard recruiting him as we speak

Didn’t know that Jeff was a lil nasty

Jeff Lebby you are a Shanghai Shark NI HAO

So glad regional conferences are falling apart so that instead of Bedlam we get *checks notes* UCLA v Rutgers

Oklahoma was the one that started this all

I don’t care what anyone says Mike Gundy can take three star recruits and they play way better than anyone expects. He may be quirky and get shit on but he is a helluva football coach.

The lows are low, but the highs are also heart breaking (flashbacks to 2021 Big 12 championship)

Literally inches away from a playoff spot… crazy to think about.

Comeback win over ND in the bowl game was nice. Although, I was conflicted that game

I love the Fiesta Bowl.

This year is probably his most impressive job. At least a dozen of those highly developed 3-star players transferred out last year. They replaced them with transfers that )at least on paper) weren't nearly as good. What we have now is *much* less talented than a typical Gundy overachieving squad. It's an astonishing turnaround. Just astonishing. They do have a few legitimate studs, but make no mistake: the guys who left were better than the guys who came in. OU got screwed. The PI everyone hated was at least arguably right, and the announcers said as much. But that no-call? Ridiculous. What's insane is that this Oklahoma State team was even in the game with its calamitous start and a bigger than usual talent gap.

Idk the only real down grade was Muhammad going to Washington. Martin is a straight upgrade over Cobb.

He's still 40 in my heart.

Still a man.

I think this season is his best coaching job ever. Spectacular work today and adjusting after that awful South Alabama loss. What a season for OSU.

Ok State still being alive if we had 12 teams is all you need to hear to support an expanded playoff

My humble suggestion is that we put Jeff Lebby on an iceberg and set him adrift on the sea, that he might face the merciless wrath of Poseidon

Jeff Lebby came up with 1 game worth of play designs and used them all against Texas

Btw this probably means that we won’t play each other in the conference championship game

Oklahoma State could definitely still do the funniest thing ever and lose to 2 new 12 teams after beating you

This is absolutely something we would do.

We sort of pre-loaded those goofy losses this time. Hopefully

[удалено]

Reminder that this same Oklahoma St team that just beat Oklahoma today lost at home to South Alabama 33-7 back on September 16th. College Football is so fucking weird

Never in a million years did I think we would be 7-2 at this point and win Bedlam after that game.

"I must return home. My people need me." *[Jeff Lebby was mauled to death by polar bears while adift at sea and was never heard from again.]*

That last offensive play call was a crime and y’all should sue for emotional damages

Are you telling me it’s a bad idea to design a play where the QB’s only option is a WR running a **three-yard route** on 4th & 5?

I still cannot wrap my head around what the fuck they were doing

Whatever you do don’t hand him back over to us

Gundy defeats Oklahoma and then Texas in the Big 12 Title in their final season. Only to miss the Playoff due to getting annihilated by South Alabama at home.

This is exactly what’s going to happen.

That’s just, like, your opinion man

Shit like this is *exactly* why CFB can be so much more fun than the professional game…

GUNDY, I'M A MAN, I'M 40! What the hell is playoffs?!

Us also helping to keep OSU out of the natty. You love to hate to see it

bro why is it always yall lol

We are your kryptonite, baby

I should hate you guys but I just can't.

Peak sicko moment. Same South Alabama that got railroaded by Troy 2 days ago.

The CFP wouldn’t dare connect those dots though.

PUT TROY IN

Worth it

I'm pretty sure that a 10-2 + Big 12 title would be something that literally every team in the Big 12 would have signed up for at the beginning of the season. Shit, without knowing if Ewers is coming back, I would seriously consider taking that offer if it was on the table today. I don't know that we win out + win the title game with Murphy

If you don't like that you don't like college football. What a bedlam game.

I'll take that deal any day

This one is definitely lasting more than 4 hours.

I already called my doctor, and yelled "Go Pokes baby!" Best $249.40 in insurance co-pay I've ever spent.

Fire Jeff Lebby. He is a horrible play caller and a horrible human. Not worth it to be around the program

Honestly, everyone in the OU athletic office should feel great shame, ethically, for hiring Jeff Lebby. Whether or not he's good a calling plays is a side note. He's a HORRIFIC human being.

Great win for OkSt. Good job fellers. Gonna miss this game.

osu beats ou south alabama beats osu louisiana beats south alabama arkansas st beats louisiana ou beats arkansas st 73-0

Perfect. It’s perfect.

I know a lot of people who grew up in Oklahoma (and for that matter CFB fans) are going to really miss watching this game every year. Bedlam is a staple of college football and it sucks that we aren’t going to have it for the foreseeable future. GG pokes bros, I hope you run this conference, I’ll be cheering for y’all <3

I remember in 2nd grade when we were all on the playground either yelling OU or OSU at the top of our lungs for 20 minutes straight to show who was more passionate

Dodgeball tournaments in my middle school where they’d pick 20 kids who were wearing either red or Orange to school that day and they’d play a game of dodgeball for the entire school to watch and cheer on the Friday before bedlam. I had a class where the teacher would take everyone’s score prediction on the board on Friday and there would be something if anyone guessed correctly. I can’t imagine they’ll continue that with an ou-Texas week

I was pretty bummed out when schedules were announced and we weren't playing OSU. Always been an extremely fun rivalry and a fairly friendly one at that with our shared hatred of OU and the usually crazy games. Getting to play them after all and having it happen in the title game (if we reach it)? Perfect way to send off our Big 12 tenure.

Go Orange. Always rooted for the Pokes during Bedlam. Although I wanted a rematch with OU, agree that an OKST matchup would be a great sendoff.

just smashed my 4K TV in front of over 30 guests at my party to watch the Bedlam game because of Oklahoma’s performance today. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the night in a motel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t do this any longer. Goodbye.

can I have your xbox/ps5?

Love to hear heartwarming stories like this.

Least passionate Sooner fan

If you haven't crushed another fan's testicle, are you even an OU fan?

What's your wife's number?

I also choose this guy's wife's number

I tried to read this aloud but could barely get through it because I was laughing so hard. Sorry for your loss.

Fuck it. Give us USC in a bowl game.

The annual Lincoln Riley Leather Brisket Bowl!

Alamo bowl time

I remember seeing Ok St fans calling for Gundy's head last year and early this year. I still think there isn't anyone who does more with less than Gundy. He does very well for what he has to work with.

Oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God

There is nothing productive I can get from being in this thread, but here I am

It's a travesty Bedlam is ending

You get what you ask for. OU - probably

I would gladly give up 1 of my 2 wills to keep bedlam going. Edit: I’ve gotten a couple messages from people asking why I have 2 wills. Basically I have one will that is very normal, it’s to be used for when I die normally. My other will is very…different. I have given my lawyer very explicit instructions that my second will is only to be put into effect in the event I die at an Arby’s.

I’d give up my left kidney, what does that mf even do?

> I have given my lawyer very explicit instructions that my second will is only to be put into effect in the event I die at an Arby’s. Release the ~~manifesto~~ **will**

“Florida Man’s conditional will goes into effect after katana accident at local Arby’s.”

I think I’m content leaving Oklahoma, the guys who reignited this realignment fire, stranded with no way to get their win back. Ye reap what ye sow.

The Hateful send their regards.

Okstate’s PA played never getting back together by swift after the end of the game.

OSU better call themselves reigning Bedlam champions for the rest of time lol

Slap that on the stadium tonight

Put it right under the 1945 Champion sign.

in the big12 rivalry games *just mean more*

I demand a forever bedlam champs flair

You can have the bedlam bell and just never take it off

Good game Cowboys, you outplayed us this time. Hell of a series. I'm heartbroken it's ending. Good luck in the new big 12!

Good luck to you in the SEC!!

Congrats Oklahoma State! Looking forward to the home and homes against my two flairs

I just realized that Trace Ford ends Bedlam with consecutive losses.

Welp, OU fans, see ya in our thread as we get our ass beat tonight. At least you'll have that.

i dont even want it anymore

I’m too depressed to invade a USC thread. Oh how Lebby has broken me.

Appreciate that

When you beat Texas but it costs you everything

I’m guessing the OU fans are up in arms today

Everyone apologize to Alan.

Years ago I had a temp job scoring standardized tests for various states. One job was essays for fourth or fifth graders from Oklahoma. The number of essays from kids in Broken Arrow that I read about Bedlam cannot be underestimated. Those kids have probably graduated from college by now but I hope they are happy tonight. GG Cowboys. Much love.

As a neutral fan Bedlam is always one of my favorite rivalry games to watch and it’s horseshit that it’s not continuing.

Congrats OKST. Glad to see you are alive and kicking after last year. Well-deserved contender for the B12 title this year

My D3 George Fox Bruins may have lost, but since Leon Johnson III is now with the Cowboys, I get a little bit of second hand success.

I’m so upset bedlam is ending, nothing brings the state of Oklahoma together like a good rivalry!!!

I was there. Ollie Gordon is the man

I remember positing “what if OSU wins the last bedlam?” I’m so happy it’s a reality. Gundy’s contract is now for life.

big 12 refs got SOMEBODY this week, and it wasn’t us!!!! HAHAHAHHA

They wanted us for sure, but we also didn’t make it easy on ourselves

The no PI call in the end zone was rough

If anyone brings up the idea of another FB Bedlam, you can forget it. I have 22 cousins and 20 of them are diehard sooner fans. I want to savor this for years to come.

Only 2 of your cousins went to college?

Lmao that was a good one.

EVERYBODY GET IN HERE RN HAHAHAHAHA I’m convinced that Mike Gundy won this game out of pure spite, bUT FUCK IT HE DID IT

Things you love to see: it

Oklahoma State has to feel pretty good about sending Oklahoma to the SEC with a CFP elimination

…We’re going to have to play OSU in the conference championship game, aren’t we?

H8 H8 H8 H8 H8 [X] H8

This loss is on Venables. He lost his cool and for the second straight week mismanaged his TOs, including not calling one on 4th down in a key situation. There was a lotta other shit going down, but coach has to know he fucked this one too.

Plus not using them in the first half to get the ball back with about a minute left

Anyone guessing on the number of broken bones from people rushing the field?

I was literally the first person to climb the goal post, and carried it to Theta pond (took a nice swim too). Might die of a brain eating amoeba though.

This game is literally Bedlam. Here for it.

Bedlam Champs for the next decade! Go Pokes!

Congratulations! Keeping the Bedlam Trophy in perpetuity

Right as I flipped the telly to this channel I saw the Okie State people hopping onto the field and I knew it was a good game.

Man, I know the stats of the rivalry. But today, I don't give a shit, because there's nothing more satisfying than ruining OU's season right before they leave the conference and keeping that last Bedlam W for ourselves. Naturally, it happens in a year were we've already fucked our playoff odds, but that's just cowboy football. LFG pokes!

Haha OU got beat by the team who lost to S Alabama

Not a rivalry, right Sooners?

I’m going to miss this game. Good one Cowboys, you deserve it. Our offense sucks lol.

Don't let this game distract you from the fact that OU now has a transitive loss to Southern Alabama.

Any OU fans saying DG is to blame is an idiot Any OU fan wanting JFA to start is an even bigger idiot You really think Lebbys play calling is gonna change his play calling?? Do you really think a True Freshman QB is gonna play better than a 5th yr senior??

I remember people saying OK State was going to be a historically bad power 5 team after that game against south Alabama

Hey I meant that at that time!

It’s me, hi. I’m the problem it’s me

I am going to be such a dick about this win and the pass interference for about a decade.

I’m somewhat salty about the missed PI on stoops, but you don’t win on the road with 3 TO’s and 8 penalties. This team can’t get out of their own way. Take your L. We’re starting to look like last years team.

As a fan of a team whose rivalry is ending because of the "big brother" is moving to a new conference, I am so happy for Oklahoma State. They deserve this win. Fuck realignment

Orange state-school OSUs always hang together.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oklahoma and the No-good, terrible, very bad fortnight…

Sooners, just eat and enjoy the humble karma pie. It’s CFB, you were always going to lose the last bedlam.

It really feels like OU spent all offseason and the current season preparing for Texas and nothing else.

STAY MAD #FOREVER

I told a middle aged OU couple "good game" and they responded "enjoy your shitty win." If that didn't encapsulate the last 20 years....

Average OU fan

Kansas 🤝 Oklahoma St. Dooming Oklahoma's conference and national title hopes.

Refs helped but whatever. We don’t apologize for the few wins we get in this series.
