08:23 AM ET 11.02 | On the day Bob Stoops was hired, back in 1998, he said: "I'll not shy away from expectations ... I will embrace them. There are no excuses. We're not going to talk about rebuilding." Thirteen years later, here's what Stoops said about the Notre Dame game: "We were just on the wrong side of some judgment calls .. I'm not complaining at all. I'm just saying, when you're in a tight game, those decisions are tough to overcome." Complaining? No. Excuse-making? Sounds like it to me. ... Judgment calls did not determine the OU-Notre Dame outcome. And there was a time when Stoops wouldn't have said anything even if they had.

Textbook case of the media manufacturing some drama. The Oklahoman must be taking a page from the Austin American Statesman.

ND fans wee weeing on the prospects for other undefeated teams is unbecoming. Remember who you are, Domers. Be, um, Domer-classy... If you can get your heads around that concept.

"The wrong side of some judgment calls"?? I watched that game twice now,,, what the hell is he blubbering about? Does he mean to say the Irish put 30 on the board and held OU to 13 all because of some bad judgment calls by the refs?

From the time the ball went into the air for him to "intercept"? About a yard. before that he was running to get in on the tackle
And, IMO, the ball hit the ground before he had possession, but meh. It is over and ND beat OU fair and square....
