 Penalties and determines pressure were informs as prevalent as pancake blocks and protection.  The Aggies got down on themselves and got steamrolled.Placekickers are still practically one-legged monsters  Now the Sooners have a three-man rotation  That works at shooting guard, but not at kicking guard.  The Sooners' defense is still on par with the best in team history.  What Oklahoma can put its weight down upon, of course, is the preparation and no-quit-attitude that pervades this team despite having a down year crushed by injuries and unmet expectations.  It's obvious Head Coach Bob Stoops and his coaching colleagues haven't lost this team Mondays through Fridays.

 So while this on-field performance is nothing to write home about, what it says about the Sooners off the field can fill a proverbial library shelf.Slideshow of Oklahoma 65, Texas A&M 10 .

BEIJING (Reuters Life!) - Wu Yulu has burned down his house, sprayed himself with battery acid, driven his wife to contemplate divorce and openly admits he loves a few contraptions made from scrap metal more than his own children . Lifestyle  |  ChinaBut the self-educated farmer is happy, because the robots he has dedicated his life to creating are finally winning him enough fame and cash to put plowing aside forever.The unlikely inventor is pulled around the village where he was born by a walking, talking, life-size model which he calls his thirty-second son."I'm a rickshaw-pulling robot . Wu Yulu is my Dad, I take him out about town," its rubbery lips proclaim to passers-by, who pay no more attention to the strange vehicle than to the bikes and scooters rattling past it.His earlier efforts were more humble, the first just a simple walking contraption made of wire and cogs which took its first steps in 1986.As whimsical as they are ingenious, later creations with bodies made of plastic barrels or cloaked in cloth skirts can pour tea, offer smokers a light for their cigarette or climb walls and shuffle across the ceiling on magnetic feet."Since I was young I never smoked, drank or played cards My only love was to use my brain, especially with machines. I was fascinated by things that moved," Wu told Reuters in a courtyard scattered with cogs, parts and his metal "children.""You could say I love my robots more dearly than my own sons," says the serious 48-year-old, whose human offspring have long since left home.Wu's children may have been keen to seek their own fortunes after one experiment gone awry left their home in ashes, but their father could not keep away from his inventions."After I burned down the house I did feel very guilty because my wife and children didn't even have a place to live," Wu said."I thought about giving up robots, but in the half year when I wasn't making them I felt itchy. I just couldn't not do it."FORAGED TECHNOLOGYThe cash shortages common to most Chinese farmers meant that Wu's early robots were made almost entirely from foraged scrap, but as his ambition grew so too did his costs.He borrowed from reluctant friends and relatives, racking up a debt that at one point hit 90,000 yuan ($13,170), a small fortune in rural China.And the price was not only measured in yuan.
