But hey, there’s always Alabama.

List the mounting blowouts for Stoops and he regurgitates the Sooners’ 45-31 win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl last year.

OU fans have begun regurgitating something else every time he mentions it, but Stoops and his staff defiantly cling to their 2013 finish like it was last week.

“We had the same type of plan,” Stoops said. “So it worked then, and it’s worked in a lot of other bowl games. You named the ones that we lost. Name the ones we won, also.”

Simple enough.

In the past decade, OU’s bowl wins are Oregon in the Holiday Bowl, Stanford in the Sun Bowl, Connecticut in the Fiesta Bowl, Iowa in the Insight Bowl and Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

Yuck.

Let’s face it. That’s one good bowl win in the past 10 years. Oregon was in the BCS hunt but had been stricken with quarterback maladies. Stanford was average and also lost its QB. Connecticut was below average, and Iowa was below that.
