thank goodness. I was getting worried for this game, but now that we have a positive omen, I am feeling confident that we will escape Ames with a close, hard-fought win

[rubyspirit]

Go Sooners! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~janicesmith/emotions/cheer2.gif

These FSN games make me wish TBS was still doing B12 games.

thank goodness. I was getting worried for this game, but now that we have a positive omen, I am feeling confident that we will escape Ames with a close, 8-touchdown blowout win.

Fixed.

:eddie:

[AZSoonerCat]

Meh. I'll be stuck at work with only gamecast to follow the game with. At least I'll be able to watch Ohio State lose via ESPN 360.

[Boffingham]

I'm watching on my Slingbox from England, but I'm leaving at halftime to watch England vs South Africa Rugby World Cup.

[Newbomb Turk]

Hell I aint gonna warsh out the LUCK :pop:

[soonercody]

[Rogue]

This should be good! Good to see y'all.

[King Crimson]

Hey, Dave Lapham. he's allsome.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Hell I aint gonna warsh out the LUCK :pop:Uh, that stuff aint luck.

[olevetonahill]

Too late to ask for no pics :P

Iced Tea!:D

[swardboy]

i was surprised this game is on TV.

I've thought that about quite a few games the last couple of years...OU games must get good viewership....

[tommieharris91]

On another note, I guess I'll start this now:

FIRE ALL THE COACHES AND PLAYERS!!!!!! FIRE JOE C!!!!!!!!! FIRE EVERYBODY!!!! WE'RE NOT BEATIN EM BY 50 YET!!!!

[Blues1]

Are we Hungrey.....???

[Rogue]

Here we go...Iggy with a nice return!

[swardboy]

Hey, with those color uni's of ISU, we can pretend we're killing USC....

[Newbomb Turk]

Are we Hungrey.....???

I am - my wife is makin me a sammich right now.

[soonercody]

ISU is ready for that pass! :eek:

Uh-oh.

[soonercody]

1st pass - IGGY
2nd pass - Kelly

I like Wilson!

[Cam]

Gotta catch those easy 1st downs.

[Rogue]

DEEEEE-fense!

[Cam]

That punt should've been blocked. WTF's going on with our punt protection lately???

[soonersn2007]

How does DM drop that pass, it just drives the coaches nuts I bet.

[King Crimson]

Lapham will say a team gets "off-schedule"/3rd and longs about 10 zillion times during this telecast.

that's usually the extent of his analysis. he's got some formula about blocking too, with a catchy acronym that he will beat to death as well.

[soonercody]

How does DM drop that pass, it just drives the coaches nuts I bet.
Yeah, but it might have been that the ball hit him the same time as that 210 pound DB.

[Newbomb Turk]

weak assed pass rush and no contain. :mad:

[swardboy]

And we have the scrambling qb blues

[SleestakSooner]

Just did a google image search for the phrase "like a cyclone" and this is what I found. (Don't open at work or around children!) Photo with Gene Chizik? (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/http//www.darrenbarefoot.com/images/gwen_with_phallus.jpg)

[Rogue]

'Bama up on the VOLS by 3!
I'm rooting for 'Bama for selfish reasons. I want to go to the UT vs. SC game next week and want the VOL fans to be disgusted and selling their tix cheap.

What is up with us not tackling?

[soonersn2007]

You see how one play of a lack of execution but not catching a pass gives life to these sh!t teams.

[Rogue]

Can't see it, but from the address I'm guessing it's gross.

Dammit, I hate it when the option works against us.

[Newbomb Turk]

I may start drinking earlier than I had planned.

[Blues1]

Iowa state came ready to play.....

[StormySooner-IN]

IN.

[OKC-SLC]

Can we please stop this third and long?

[bigdsooner]

english is my hero

[StormySooner-IN]

And this is not looking great yet....

[Blues1]

Lets Dance.... :)

[soonersn2007]

Come on English, take him to the ground..........dont do that whirley bird crap.

[Rogue]

Got him! AE AE AE

[Newbomb Turk]

thank you English!!

[Sooner Eclipse]

Hey, nice - a stop on 3rd and long.

[toneful]

After not realizing FSW had an HD broadcast last week it's nice to see things more "clearly" this week!

Nice taunting on that kick coverage...

[OKC-SLC]

English is a helluva player.

[swardboy]

You see how one play of a lack of execution but not catching a pass gives life to these sh!t teams.

No, two plays...if I ever see that down -the- line- pass- for- loss- of- a- yard play again I'll scream...

[SoonerBOI]

Good one, Englidh. Sacked!

[ou4me]

:( Punt/KO returns keep killing us.

[olevetonahill]

Kick Datass

[SoonerBOI]

Stop Them! Come on, D!

[Snrborn]

Did we fumble the return??

[bigdsooner]

no more screwing around, lets score quickly

[Newbomb Turk]

dang AP - nice run!

[SoonerBOI]

Frankie!!!!!!!!

[Rogue]

AP for 10

[StormySooner-IN]

Whoa....Nice 2nd and 3rd effort AP!

[OKC-SLC]

That play was ALL Patrick.

[tommieharris91]

Nice run by AP.

[Cam]

Allen Patrick gets 10 out of a play that should've been a loss.

[swardboy]

Ok, let's see more of Mr. Patrick!!!!

[bigdsooner]

nice 2yd loss turned into a 10yd run by Patrick

[SleestakSooner]

Nice run AP and good block there Sam!

[ou4me]

I think the run is ON this game. The coaches want to prove we can run the ball.

[Newbomb Turk]

WTF??!!

[soonercody]

!@#$!#^%^@#!#$!&^&#@$!#%

[toneful]

Patrick kinda reminds me of MBarber. Kinda.

[SoonerBOI]

Let us score on this drive!

[Cam]

are you freakin kidding me? Fumbles are killing us this year.

[StormySooner-IN]

WTF!? PICK IT UP!! OMG! :mad:

[soonersweetie]

well that sucked

[Sooner Eclipse]

Fork, this is starting well

[fadada1]

****ing great.

[bigdsooner]

[Frozen Sooner]

Oh Jesus Christ.

This team plays so stupid sometimes it's incredible.

[SleestakSooner]

damn... nice tackle too Sam

[Snrborn]

WTF??!!


These ambiguous posts really suck for people not watching the game!!!

[olevetonahill]

Nice Tackle Sam

[King Crimson]

crap. PI.

nice tackle by Bradford, though.

[OKC-SLC]

Effing fumbles. How about we work on that.

This game is going to be ugly.

[Newbomb Turk]

I just opened a Coke - time to add something to it.

[BoomerGirl34]

These fellas need to pull their heads out of their arses. Pay attention! STupid penalties!

Rawr.

[Rogue]

ISU first and 10 at the OU 20. :mad:

[Cam]

I think the run is ON this game. The coaches want to prove we can run the ball.
Why would this be different from every other road game?

[toneful]

are you freakin kidding me? Fumbles are killing us this year.

yep, unusual amount compared to the past Stoops teams.

[Snrborn]

You guys are a good 30 seconds ahead of gamecast...

[olevetonahill]

Nut up D

[King Crimson]

no way Blythe gets to that ball..

[tommieharris91]

Why can't we go on the road and play well?

[soonersn2007]

Jesus, why do we do this crap.............lack of focus, reading the press clippings..........call it what you will. But this team does not get up for games they think will fall in their laps.

[FirstandGoal]

How long did the ^#E*(^##$*&)( ball sit on the ground before anyone decided to go for it?

Jeez

[Rogue]

These ambiguous posts really suck for people not watching the game!!!

You can keep up here:

http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/gameTrax?gameId=200710200019

[toneful]

I'm still not concerned. Should i be.

[Newbomb Turk]

These ambiguous posts really suck for people not watching the game!!!get the radio feed with BBSr - that oughta clear things up for ya.

[Jeopardude]

I can't wait to sneak out of work to see the game and scream the Sooners to victory.

[bigdsooner]

damn we look like $hit right now

[soonersweetie]

i knew when i saw that we were 30 point favorites we would have trouble.

Come on OU, at least look like we deserve that #5 ranking, ugh

[OKC-SLC]

Why can't we go on the road and play well?
Because this team has minimal mental toughness.

[toneful]

nice throw, better play by holmes.

[BoomerGirl34]

Nice play Lendy!

[Jeopardude]

I'm gonna be sick.

[Cam]

This team is like freakin Cybil. You just never know which team's going to show up.

ISU's scored 3 or 4 TD's all freakin season.

[Rogue]

You guys are a good 30 seconds ahead of gamecast...

Besides being more accurate, handsome, and witty than the announcers. :D

2nd and goal...ISU TD on an inside run.

[1890MilesToNorman]

Dishnetwork (FSNE / CCNNE) isn't carrying this game until 2 hours after kickoff? I can't remember a 2 hour delayed football game before.

WTF

[StormySooner-IN]

Wow.

Just Wow.




No comment.....

[soonercody]

'Bama up 10-0 on Tennessee.

[Blues1]

well the nation will start to wonder..... :(

[soonersn2007]

I would sit Patrick the rest of the game, it's time to start punishing players for not securing the ball.

[King Crimson]

that was apparently the most important TD in the history of football according to the play by play guy.

[ouflak]

ISU ball on the OU 35

[Frozen Sooner]

Mother of God. I was worried this would happen.

Really nice play on the fade by Lendy, by the way. No, the ball didn't bounce of his helmet-the receiver had it in his hands and Lendy popped it out with his arm.

[OKC-SLC]

jkm said it right a couple weeks ago--this team is an imitation of a Stoops team. They just don't do the little things right, like possess the football and make good decisions.

[william_brasky]

Iowa State is just better than we are. :cool:

[Snrborn]

You can keep up here:

http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/gameTrax?gameId=200710200019


Thanks, I tried it, and it is as behind as Gamecast.

[bigdsooner]

ok, they scored. now can we play some Sooner fu**in football please. i hate when we come out flat at kickoff and let crappy teams play with us for awhile

[birddog]

one in the pink, one in the stink.

[swardboy]

I would sit Patrick the rest of the game, it's time to start punishing players for not securing the ball.

I...am...in...total...agreement

[soonermeteor]

Someone let me know when the Sooners get to Iowa State...

... they definitely are not there yet. :rolleyes:

[Vegas Vic]

This team is not ready to play football today. They thought all they had to do was show up.

[Sooner5030]

ishnetwork (FSNE / CCNNE) isn't carrying this game until 2 hours after kickoff? I can't remember a 2 hour delayed football game before.

try channel 418?

[Rogue]

It would have been nice to score first. ISU is good enough to capitalize on a fumble and pass interference and then score from the 20. That's the gimme, from here on out it's all Sooners.

Just to be safe, I'm going to the liquor cabinet.

[olevetonahill]

Allright everyone settle down . I got the Mojo workin now
Poured that nastyass coffee out and popped a top on natty ! Its all good to go now :cool:

[.Tim]

Great defense. Great ball handling. Great job OU!

[Stitch Face]

The sky is falling!

[fadada1]

short field = not good. just stating the obvious.

[OKC-SLC]

it's time to start punishing players for not securing the ball.
I agree that there needs to be a Saturday price to pay for failing to possess the ball. I don't care what the kids do or don't have to do during the week (if anything) for punishment; they need to pay where it hurts the most.

[toneful]

that was apparently the most important TD in the history of football according to the play by play guy.

i hope we flip the switch super fast for no other reason than to cease the oral gratification bestowed by announcers on ISU.

[BoomerGirl34]

that was apparently the most important TD in the history of football according to the play by play guy.


And in the first quarter; it's a "stunner in Ames". Right. :rolleyes:

[Rogue]

Allright everyone settle down . I got the Mojo workin now
Poured that nastyass coffee out and popped a top on natty ! Its all good to go now :cool:

OV, on these early games, you can start at Noon Eastern Time from now on, mmmKay?

[Newbomb Turk]

Just to be safe, I'm going to the liquor cabinet.

mix me one - make it a double.

[toneful]

Props to ISU for coming out fired up after getting squashed last week, at home no less.

Bradford looks a bit ****ed, no?

[BoomerGirl34]

Good to see Manuel J. get some looks.

[King Crimson]

"hard to believe".

****ing please.

[Frozen Sooner]

Oh man....great play call, but just didn't get it there.

[Newbomb Turk]

damn - that was not a good throw.

[Cam]

Damn

[1890MilesToNorman]

try channel 418?

418 is carrying Soccer in my area (New Engalnd). I guess I can wait until 2:30 to see the Sooners get off to a bad start.

Thanks,

[OKC-SLC]

just a bit underthrown.

[Sooner Eclipse]

jkm said it right a couple weeks ago--this team is an imitation of a Stoops team. They just don't do the little things right, like possess the football and make good decisions.

Where is JKM hiding out these days? I don't see him on here to much any more. Always enjoyed reading his stuff. Good insight.

[bigdsooner]

another 3rd down, nothing dumb, just get a 1st

[olevetonahill]

OV, on these early games, you can start at Noon Eastern Time from now on, mmmKay?
Dayom Sooners gonna make a drunk outta Me :eek:

[Soonerus]

Kelly was wide open....

[soonercody]

Manuel Johnson doesn't get his due. I think he's as good as Iggy.

[Frozen Sooner]

AOIGHSEHTYH!G

[BoomerGirl34]

Jeepers Crispies.

[Rogue]

Sam needs to recalibrate the weaponry. Short, long, just a little bit off target early on.

[OKC-SLC]

Dammit. Very close.

[tommieharris91]

I don't like this whole "close to six" bull****.

[birddog]

mix me one - make it a double.

make it a brewskie charlie.

the name's mitch.

Hopefully we're just getting our bad quarter out of the way early.

[Blues1]

We are gonna get a kick blocked IF we don't watch out...

[Newbomb Turk]

:les: BENCH SAM!!

[OKC-SLC]

Man, we're not doing anything right. If you're gonna punt from the 50, GET THE BALL INSIDE THE 20!!!!1juanjuan

[bigdsooner]

is it too much to ask to just go for the 3 yards instead of going for 25......ON 3RD AND 3? mother of f**k this is rediculous

[fadada1]

should've gone for it on 4th. imo. send a message.

[BoomerGirl34]

D needs to ratchet it down and let the offense back on the field. Get some rhythm.

[toneful]

wel,, if nothing else our WRs can get open deep against their DBs.

[bluedogok]

I hate these sunrise games, the team never seems to wake up in time.

[aurorasooner]

Jesus, why do we do this crap.............lack of focus, reading the press clippings..........call it what you will. But this team does not get up for games they think will fall in their laps. Probably the worst thing that could've happened to us was Texass destroying I-State at Ames last week. I'm beginning to think that our players read all the homer back-patting they get on the Sooner football boards. For all the press clippings that our DBs have had this year, they're about the worst disciplined bunch of any in the top 10. One thing's for sure, we just can't run the ball against any fired up defense when they're fresh. Case in point, 3rd and 3 and we throw for it. We've just got to get that inside running game going.

[jduggle]

Why isn't this team ready to play????

[85sooners]

:hot:

[ou4me]

Just....wow.

[william_brasky]

Dayom Sooners gonna make a drunk outta Me :eek:

I thought you were already one of them.

[bigdsooner]

itd be nice to see a to right now

[Rogue]

****.


Poor.


Tackling.

[toneful]

that chubby *** RB can't be allowed to do that.

[StormySooner-IN]

This is not good, at all. I feel sick...

[william_brasky]

man, Iowa State is really good. :confused:

[Newbomb Turk]

jimminy freekin a - we just are not fired up and ready to play.

[.Tim]

Pathetic. They're not even trying.

[Cam]

Please tell me we're not going to let another scrub RB have a career day on us.

[Blues1]

Is there a Jinx on the number 5 team....????

[Jeopardude]

itd be nice to see a T.O. right now

Fixed. And yes, it would.

[okiewaker]

It looks like baylor is playing Iowa State!!

[85sooners]

lewis baker is ****ing me off!!!!

[olevetonahill]

I thought you were already one of them.
Easy there :D

you speak truth.

[bigdsooner]

alright bob rip em a new a$$

[Cam]

He didn't lunge into the end zone idiot, he was hit in the legs by a DB.

[Seamus]

I am effing disgusted by the way we are playing.

Time for Bob to get incendiary on some arses!

[soonercody]

2nd and 18 for ISU. Pass for about 5. Go get him, boys!

[Cam]

3rd & 13, right where they want us. :(

[OKC-SLC]

Need to stop them here.

[Rogue]

They'll be punting to Reggie now.
:pop:

[olevetonahill]

Good stop D

[bigdsooner]

all right guys. let's go.

[Blues1]

Lets score 35 straight....!!!!

[Cam]

Looks like we learned how to not back peddle from the 10 yard line. That's an improvement.

[OKC-SLC]

This pass rush has been the lone bright spot of this game.

[Doged]

Okay I'm back. Sorry to screw up the mojo, ya'll, but it's all good now. :D

[85sooners]

i want to kill something!!

[ou4me]

We need to play better. It's too early to drink.....

[toneful]

fans look to be high on ethanol fumes.

[1890MilesToNorman]

It could be worse, Vandy 17 USC east 0.

[jduggle]

Our run blocking is awful today.

[toast]

we need something to happen to get us some momentum going. sam's going to have to connect on those homerun shots he's going to get.

[Sooner Eclipse]

Alright, time to get it rolling. Booooooomer

[Newbomb Turk]

how come we can't run the ball on ISU with our all world offensive line?

[soonersn2007]

Wow Demarco, did you forget how to cutback?

[King Crimson]

i guess we were looking ahead to bye week.

[Rogue]

We aren't exactly blowing them off the ball on offense yet.

[swardboy]

Ok, how many games into the season are we, and the punt return guys are finally coached to stay away from the 10 yard line?

[StormySooner-IN]

Oh.

It's Homecoming for them-no wonder.

[ouflak]

OU ball on their own 20

:D :D :D :D :D

[okiewaker]

Our run blocking is awful today.


Maybe it's the altitude.

[FirstandGoal]

dangit.

This team is making me drink margaritas waaaaay earlier in the day than I had planned on doing it. :mad:

[yur-out]

Okay I'm back. Sorry to screw up the mojo, ya'll, but it's all good now. :D
It's about time.:P

[olevetonahill]

WE need to rip off 3 fast TDs to shut those ****ers up !

[OKC-SLC]

Our run blocking is awful today.
It has been marginal all season.

Pass blocking has been very good. Run blocking, not so much.

[ou4me]

fans look to be methed out of their minds.

fixed :D

[soonersn2007]

With performances like this, why do we think we even deserve to play for the NC?

[OUDizzle]

It's all part of the plan!

[85sooners]

Our run blocking is awful today.along with the rest of the season

[bluedogok]
