As Baker Mayfield made his way around the field at the Rose Bowl in the wake of OU's 54-48 loss, hugging his teammates and congratulating a couple Georgia players, one Bulldog had a message for him.
“Humble yourself,” linebacker David Bellamy shouted at the quarterback. “Humble yourself.”
The exchange was caught on video, and later, Bellamy was asked about it.
"All I'm saying is humble yourself,” Bellamy told ESPN's Arash Markazi. “All the flamboyancy ... I carry myself the same way, but humble yourself, man. ... Our wide receivers came back and told us that they were running their routes before we went out there and he was on their line. Just humble yourself, man, just humble yourself. You're not built like that."
During warm ups, Mayfield caught passes in each end zone, something he's done before every game this season. Bellamy took issue with that because some of Georgia's players were already on the field for warm ups.
And, in the first half, Mayfield appeared to make a throat slash gesture and yell “it's over” after OU went up 14-7 in the first quarter.

Was there with the family. Proud as can be of my Dawgs. Gosh it looked over several times for us....kept chopping wood, Hell of a game on both team’s part. Congrats to OU for making the dance. Not looking forward to Bammer next week.
That B2 flyover was not suitable for folks with bladder control issues. He came in lower than customary and it appeared that he gunned it about halfway across the stadium. It flew over from the AFB in Missouri that handles all the nast nasty weaponry. They can reach any point on the globe with that bomber from that AFB. Folks got their drawers blown off.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
I would have just as soon seen OK win, but GA showed what they are made of............Fromm played a great game, especially for a true freshman while Mayfield was pretty average & both him & the team badly hampered by the plays being called by the bench late in the game & OT.
I'd love to see the Dawgs bury the Tide & I think they have the tools to do it too.
Jesus you post a lot of stuff (always negative) about the Sooners. Did one of those guys steal your lunch money as a kid or something?
I guess that's what you do when your own team is relegated to playing in the "Camping World" bowl?.....
Dave, this article was in the Daily Oklahoman, a sooner lovin' rag if I have ever seen one. I grew up a sooner fan beginning back in the Bud Wilkinson era through 1971, Joe Don Looney, Bobby Womack, Steve Owens, Greg Pruitt. Actually, as a graduate of Oklahoma State, I have alot in common with OU fans just like you . . . neither one of us have ever stepped foot in a classroom in Norman.

Danny Carter Russ, that's pretty funny that you're slamming Arash for his English language when you can't even spell correctly yourself. Typical sooner fan.

Danny Carter That's funny and very true, yet the ou fans wouldn't care if Mayfield was the devil incarnate as long as he won games for the swooners. Mayfield is a jerk and will soon be humbled by 300 lb linemen and lightening fast LBs that will stomp his act into the NFL turf. A "humbling" is coming and it will be enlightening for Baker Mayfield.

I guess that's what you do when your own team is relegated to playing in the "Camping World" bowl?.....
And where exactly playing in the "Rose Bowl" get the Sooners other than a good spanking?
Its easy to post negatives about the Sooners when they suit up thugs and rapists every Saturday.
Hahahah....you think losing in OT on a neutral site against the #2 team in the country is a spanking. Those are some keen analytical skills. While your regaling us with your wisdom, care to identify the "rapist" that was suited up during the game?
Also, no need to quote Rose Bowl...its a game even the most uneducated fan is aware of....unlike the "Camping World" bowl. See what I did there?
If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.
There have been a few exceptions, but to it seems like the less effective players with over-sized ego needs tend to do the most trash talking - and most want to get into the faces of those who are the better performers. OU, GU, AL, AU - the team/school has very little to do with the syndrome. As for the person bashing, mediocre minds tend to focus on such things as "personality". That would include the U as a personality.
