#8 Oklahoma Sooners vs. #7 Washington State Cougars - 2003 Rose Bowl

[1997goblue]

when did they change the rose bowl trophy i love how it looks now

[thunderup26]

Where is Nate Hybl?

[dhide14]

I knew the WSU offense would struggle with Gesser playing on a broken leg...but damn, where was the fucking defense??

[jsfranklinwsu]

@dhide14 Didn't Price quit BEFORE the game to go to Alabama? That's kind of messed up to do that before your team plays for a Rose Bowl.

[dhide14]

@jsfranklinwsu yes he did, and I have no idea why. I still don't know why. Why couldn't he have announced that AFTER the game? I'm not taking anything away from OU, they were great that year too, but I expected WSU to play better

[DNSKansas]

@jsfranklinwsu He accepted the Alabama job before the Rose Bowl, but was allowed to coach the bowl game.

[jdhaist13]

Washington State #7? Wow this is a long time ago...

[weatherman1233]

@jdhaist13 not as long as your last bowl game before last year haha

[Dedmon319]

Quentin Griffin is one of my faorite players of all time. Never a negative celebration, always handing the ball back to the officials, helping opponents off the ground, heck he even turned down the opportunity to get into the record books at OU. He's a role model for all young athletes.

[TotalRebuiId]

@Dedmon319 Yeah coming from a UT fan, Quentin Griffin is really a class act.

[brittserlo]

Man, I don't know how Sooner fans feel about Hyble, but I thought he was a pretty good QB. He made plays and was pretty accurate. And he won OU a Rose Bowl. You can't ask for much better. And Q was just a beast. Geart game.

[alexhp91]

@brittserlo us Sooner fans loved Hybl!!! He basically started for 2 seasons, not just 1, because Jason White blew an ACL in '01 and the other ACL in '02, so Hybl stepped in and led us to 2 bowl wins. He was hands down the best backup QB I've seen in Norman.

[Dedmon319]

@alexhp91 Lol not everyone loved him..

[alexhp91]

@Dedmon319 well, those who are loyal OU fans loved him as with any Sooner. He did nothing to make anyone think otherwise. He was about as good a backup as any team could ask for.

[Dedmon319]

@alexhp91 Yeah I'll agree with you there. For being a backup quarterback, he did a fantastic job of stepping into the starting position.

[sjohns1974]

this was class A ass kicking

[HazMatCFO]

I was there and everytime Mike Price's picture was flashed on the Jumbotron, the Washington St fans booed. He quit before the game and was going to Alabama.

Glad I went, it was a great experience along with the parade earlier in the day.

[KBoe4]

Washington State in the Rose Bowl? Awkward...

[jeffreybiderpdee]

@KBoe4 Cougars were solid once, and eventually they'll be solid again. They had a rough couple of years, but next year I think they'll be competitive.

[mike23151]

congrats on winning a bcs game that was 8 yrs ago cause all u do is choke now watch texas win more bcs games and national championships and beat the hell out of ou

[clarksc1988]

@mike23151 How many BCS games has Texas even played in? I believe its 4 (OU's total title games in the past 10 years). Sure we have problems in these games, but Texas has a tough time GETTING to these games because you (often) need to win your division (let alone your conference) to do it.

[SoOnErSoN2]

@mike23151 Yyyyeeeeaaah how'd that last national championship go for ya? Last time I checked, OU won their bowl game, Texas didn't. Hook that.

[statman16]

@mike23151 why did you watch this anyways?

[KBoe4]

@mike23151 Haha you sir, are a shmuck.

[BlueExplore]

@mike23151 ya dude i dont see ur precious washington state cougars even having a winning season this year...plus texas sucks ass this year so...

[SoonerMagicJ2009]

Hopefully we win bcs this season

[ToothandNailFilms]

OU's last BSC win...

[Rserlo]

This is how you finish the year! Even if you don't win every game. You gotta go and take care of business in the bowl game! Thanks for the post!

[ThunderSooner2835]

I hope OU does this again soon.

[onikuno]

God, this video almost depresses me. But thanks for putting this up. I've been looking for footage from this game for a while.
