Things I Do Not Want to Hear in 2008

[jdsooner]

Holding--Oklahoma Number 72
We won the Big 12 Championship--We reached our goal.
We are down by 5--let's go for 2!
We are only down by 5--let's go for the onside kick!
Holding--Oklahoma Number 79!
Sam Bradford looks dizzy.
I really like that coat!
Final?! What final?!
Pistols firing--touchdown cowboys!
And Reggie Smith fumbles the punt--turnover OU!
OU is heavily favored in this bowl game--it is a David and Goliath matchup.

[Fraggle145]

We are only down by 5--let's go for the onside kick!

I disagree with this one, not but one year ago people were asking why doesnt bob gamble anymore? It just didnt work out he didnt earn a rep as a gambling coach for nothing, if not i wish we would put the balls out there a little bit more.

this however is exactly right, please for the love of god make us the underdog... a la 2000 or 2005

[Octavian]

Illegal Formation...Six men on the line of scrimmage....

[Sco]

And _____ stopped the run yet again.

[BASSooner]

Things I want to hear:

This is a different Oklahoma team.
INTERCEPTED BY OKLAHOMA!
TOUCHDOWN OKLAHOMA!
Lee Corso: Oklahoma winning? Forget about it!!
Sooner magic is back!
Theres the ol Big Game Bob we've been waiting for!

[dominationStation]

if you guys werent around back in 2000 we practically made our living on gambling. It's kind of like going to the casino, just follow me here. It's seems to go well in the begginning you win money even the jackpot (2000) but when you keep going you're eventually goin to lose. You just have to get back in the saddle and keep truckin

[jdsooner]

Don't want to hear:
Let's fire Bob, Brent, Kevin, etc.
Malcolm Kelley goes pro.

[OKLA21FAN]

'ladies and gentlemen, the Pride of Oklahoma will now perform...........................Thriller'

[CtheB]

...and the Sooners complete a 4 yard pass on third and five.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

Illegal block in the backfield.

[devOUt]

...any preseason talk about our OL being the best in the nation.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

"Finish"

[mikeelikee]

I don't want to hear, "The other team seemed faster than OU". They weren't faster than we were last night, but they damned sure played faster. As seems to be a trend in recent bowl games, our poor preparation led to us looking more tentative and therefore "slower".

[soonerlaw]

Hook and LAdder

[otis]

bob stoops name mentioned in the same breath with BARRY SWITZER AND BUD

[TripleOption14]

....OU has one of the best O-lines in the country.

[jkjsooner]

I disagree. That was an absolutely terrible time to gamble. We had all the momentum with two consecutive defensive stops and two consecutive offensive drives ending in score. If we would have been successful I would have been happy but still considered it a stupid call.

Sure, you have to gamble when it's unexpected and the onside kick was definitely unexpected but you have to be smart about it. Momentum is a huge factor in college football and you shouldn't just give it away like we did.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

You only have 6 months to live

[SbOrOiNaEnR]

"Hello...Mall Security? Can you send a few officers down to the Burlington Coat Factory please?"

[OKLA21FAN]

"hey there.....


I'm Chris Hanson with dateline NBC. What are you doing here?"

:pop:

[The Red Jerk]

Kevin Wilson is an "agressive playcaller" after a halfback handoff on 2 & 20 after a holding call

[Jason White's Third Knee]

"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends..."

[TheUnnamedSooner]

I'm not upset with the onside kick. We had momentum and bob was trying to captalize. He knew our D was struggling and that they would probably score again. It just didn't work out this time, but props for trying imo.

I agree. But the interesting thing about those "gambles" is that we did them to either GAIN momentum, or to put a team away. Yesterday, we already HAD the momentum, and we were no where near putting the game away. I love Bob, but that was just a dumb call.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

"Mr Lake, remember in 1994 when you walked into that EZ Mart naked to purchase sloppy joe mix because you were drunk and stupid. Well we believe that the surveillance video has made its way to Youtube..Must have really been cold that night."

[SoonerTerry]

SoonerTerry wins the biggest lottery in world history and gets lifetime sideline passes to all Sooner football games for life...

oh and USC wins its first game in week 12

[Jason White's Third Knee]

Not.

[Sooner Among The Pack]

Amen. 100%. I don't care if we recover it, it would STILL be a stupid call.

What happenned to the days where our coaching staff had faith in our defense? Inexcuseable.

Is there any doubt that the ENTIRE game changed when that little cute call didn't work?

Still fuming... :hot:

[OhU1]

Boomer Sooner played continuously by our band with 5 minutes to go while trailing by 20 during an officials review.

After awhile I wondered whether it was the West Virginia band playing Boomer Sooner to mock us.

[OhU1]

"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends..."

I second the Motion.

[jdsooner]

Yes, it was quite annoying and only made me feel more desperate!

[atlheff]

I don't want to hear anything about our "tradition" because we are quickly developing a tradition of wilting.

[OklahomaRed]

We're going to the Fiesta Bowl. :D

[BoulderSooner79]

Something I would like to hear in 2008 (actually, early 2009) :

" ... and with that kneel down in the victory formation, OU puts the finishing touch on their 8th football national championship"

[OklahomaRed]

If the BCS game is at the Fiesta Bowl, then I want to hear, "OU finally lifts the curse of the Fiesta Bowl off their shoulders in 2009!" :D

[GrapevineSooner]

"The Whopper's been discontinued











No really, it has!!!"

[BoulderSooner79]

"This week, all eyes are on Brittany Speers

[OUmillenium]

OU defensive coordinator Brent Venables

[soonervet]

Could someone please explain why you wouldnt want to go for two while down by five? That kind of seems like no brainer, unless in the first quarter.

[BoulderSooner79]

Could someone please explain why you wouldnt want to go for two while down by five? That kind of seems like no brainer, unless in the first quarter.

Because of the <50% success rate of going for 2 vs. the 99% for the kick. If you kick the ball and make it a 4 point game, then if you score a TD the opponent can only tie you with a field goal instead of beating you. If you don't get the 2 and the other guy then gets a FG, then you are down by 8 and forced to go for 2 again getting into that "chasing points" spiral. I agree with most experts that you only go for 2 when you can you can count remaining possessions that are left and you know the missed point won't bite you later.

[SoonerLB]

"There's another penalty against Oklahoma."
"And there's another pass to the flat for a 3 yard loss."
"Penalty, Oklahoma."
"Holding, Oklahoma."
"Second and twenty-seven, and Oklahoma hands off up the middle!"
"Another missed tackle by Oklahoma."
"The reciever was wide open, not an Oklahoma player within ten yards!"
"No one touched him, he was on Bradford before he could even get set!"
"Defensive holding, Oklahoma."
"Now that Oklahoma has the lead, they seem to have gone to a conservative offense."
"The penalty is on Oklahoma, ........."

[Intown]

As OU lines up in the wishbone, Bradford is looking to the sideline for the signal from the coaching staff ... and its the fullback up the middle for little or no gain

[stoopified]

F***Football,we're a basketball school.

[Captain Obvious]

this is a great thread, shame on any of you who took us on boring sidetrips. back to the thread...

Things I don't want to hear...
The Hallmark Channel presents the 2008 Fiesta Bowl's Feelgood story of the year starring for the 2nd straight year: Oklahoma...

Personal foul, Oklahoma, #71

[TripleOption14]

Just one more from me I swear....

Don't wanna hear.... "This is the best LB corp we've ever had." :rolleyes:

[devOUt]

..... WV's male baton twirler is transferring to OU.

[BoulderSooner79]

Yes, those pants do make you look fat.

[r5TPsooner]

That the Big East Conference sucks. There champ just kicked our ***!

[sooneron]

[Soonersince57]

Thriller

[TheUnnamedSooner]

"license and registration please"

[RJSooner]

"We got outcoached and outplayed."





Kevin Wilson is an "agressive playcaller"

OMG I nearly spit beer all over the entire house when they said this!!! Ive never yelled more obscenities at the TV before in my life.

[TheUnnamedSooner]
