The Top 10 Things I Rather Watch Than Oklahoma Punt The Ball To Tyreek Hill Again

More than a week later the 2014 Bedlam game is still unsettling for Oklahoma football fans. It isn't just because they lost to their in-state rivals but rather how they lost. With five minutes and some change remaining in the game the Sooners held a 35-21 lead over Oklahoma State and all seemed right in the world. Suddenly a quick score put the Cowboys down by just a touchdown and then the unthinkable happened.

With less than seventy seconds left on the clock, the Sooners had pinned Oklahoma State at their own 15 off a Jed Barnett punt. The Cowboys would need to march 85 yards, with no timeouts, in order to just tie the game up. That wasn't good enough for Bob Stoops though. Deciding that he needed to burn a few more ticks off the clock, Stoops made the unfortunate decision to take a five-yard running into the kicker penalty and punt the ball for a second time to one of the most dangerous return men in the nation. The rest, as they say, is history.

It's a decision that will go down as one of the worst ever...not just in Bedlam but seriously one of the worst decisions ever made. Tyreek Hill's 92-yard return tied the game and the Sooners eventually fell 38-35 in overtime.

In honor of David Letterman's announcement that he will step away from The Late Show in 2015, here are the Top 10 things that I would rather watch Oklahoma Football do rather than punt to Tyreek Hill for a second time.

Who says that we can't have a little fun with it?
