Brent Pus Burger just said...

[noobalicious]

that our crowd won't be crazy. And ESPN showed some clips of our fans just sitting on their arses.

Not only that, but he said Texas Tech's fans are louder.

:pop:

[fadada1]

when was the last time he did a big game in norman? did he do the mizzou game last year?

[My Opinion Matters]

So he said something right? Good for him.

[JLEW1818]

ya gameday was here when mizzou came, dunno bout abc

[noobalicious]

So he said something right? Good for him.

I hope not. If our fans aren't yelling/making noise at this game, that's pretty pathetic.

[Hornsarelosers]

joel klatt on fsn said that the sooner fans will be rocking for the game saturday night.

[JLEW1818]

I'd be surprised if fans even show up

[The Maestro]

joel klatt on fsn said that the sooner fans will be rocking for the game saturday night.

Well, then mark it down! Joel Klatt has spoken!

And ragging on Musburger...why? One of the best ever at his job!

[OUDoc]

Brent's been an annoyance for >30 years.
Why stop now?

[noobalicious]

I see it as a challenge. If everyone sees us as being so docile, I think we should give them a nice little surprise.

And I certainly hope we can make more noise than they can in Lubbock. Come on people!

[JLEW1818]

screw it, play sooner football

[Sooner_09]

Pusburger hasn't done a game in Norman since 2003

[meoveryouxinfinity]

Brent is your best friend one second and is sleeping with your boyfriend the next.

[ocsooner]

Someone give me their tickets so that I can make some noise for them!!

I'm ready, coach. Put me in.

[Sooner98]

Brent is your best friend one second and is sleeping with your boyfriend the next.

Speak for yourself. :)

[swardboy]

Wow! Stoops and Mushmouth are conspiring together to use reverse psychology on Sooner fans.....

[Soonerpsycho]

Sounds like he's trying to motivate our fans like Coach Stoops did.

[cvsooner]

I hate Musberger. He's awful as a sportscaster.

[Soonermagik]

I bet it won't be mentioned after we win :)

[1890MilesToNorman]

OUr fans know how to act, they know a big game when it comes to Norman. Sheesh

Boomer Sooner
or
BOOMER SOONER

The media has covered both scenarios.

[Collier11]

I dont get all the OU fans that get upset about this, take it as a challenge whether it be from Stoops or musberger and cheer your arses off...you know how you change perception, you certainly dont whine about it

[Collier11]

I hate Musberger. He's awful as a sportscaster.

wrong, this is typical "that sportscaster said something bad about us so I must hate him" crap, Musberger is one of the best although I like Herby and Nessler better

[The Maestro]

Musburger has called some of the greatest games with OU involved. OU-Nebraska, 1987. LOVE his call of Patrick Collins touchdown.

And a certain play at the end of the OU-Texas game in 2001.

To not like him is to be one of those goons that think the media is out to get us!

[Iam4OUru]

screw it, play sooner football



...and if we do...the crowd will appreciate it.


GEAUX SOONERS!!

[TopDawg]

I was surprised at how loud Texas Tech's fans were last year when we played them down there. I'm fairly certain it wasn't louder than our loudest moments here (Nebraska 2000, OSU 2003), but it was pretty loud for most of that game.

[cvsooner]

wrong, this is typical "that sportscaster said something bad about us so I must hate him" crap, Musberger is one of the best although I like Herby and Nessler better

No, it's not typical "crap." If Musberger's one of the best, that isn't saying much about any of them. Come to think of it...I can't stand nearly all of 'em. I like Bob Costas but he hardly does any play by play.

I have to tell you I usually turn the audio way down on games, just 'cause I can't stand the majority of sportscasters. I do think the guy that does the Fox casts -- Joel...something -- isn't bad. Though Dave "Nod your head" Lapham drives me nuts.

[illinisooner]

Brent is one of the best in the business, that's why he has been doing big games for decades. I know some people don't like his style, but whatever, I think he makes the game more exciting and the "You are looking live....!" gives me chills if its a big game. To answer an earlier post, no he didn't do the Mizzou game here last season, that one was on FSN.

As for the crowd thing, the lack of noise is a product of our own success. We don't need to be loud because we blow the majority of the teams out. Now, when it's been a big game/big moment (Tech in 06, Miami and Mizzou last year) we step up and get the Gay rockin. But most of the time it's 21-3 at the end of the first quarter and theres no need to get SEC loud. There's a Facebook group called "Loudest Crowd Ever at Owen Field" and I don't think we need to worry about the students. Let's just hope the rest of the stadium follows suit. Obviously the fact that it's a nationally televised night game with national title implications will get all fans even more amped up. Boomer!

[boomersooner28]

There should easily be 45,000 there for the game Saturday night. Don't know if that'll be enough to get very loud. :rolleyes:

[oupride]

Musburger did the 2007 Big 12 Championship in San Antonio. Sooner fans did not sit on their hands. I know, I was there!

[JLEW1818]

Chris Fowler is the best, I know he's just the host, but he doesn't talk crap, does not praise people who should not be praised.

[bcgvh]

Guys, he's right. For as many people as we are putting in our stadium, it should be LOUDER!!! I mean, I've actually had people tap me on the shoulder and tell me to sit down and be quiet??????!!!!! And no I wasn't acting all crazy, just the same as any real fan would be. I don't understand.....

[SoonerStormchaser]

And ragging on Musburger...why? One of the best ever at his job!

You're kidding, right?

[bcgvh]

Yeah, but we have a lot more people in our stadium than Tech...

[JLEW1818]

he also said that if Missouri beats the big south champ, USC would/should get to play in the National Championship.

Can anybody explain the logic why they would get in before two 1 loss big 12 teams, and a 1 loss sec team (assuming florida wins sec ship)

It's stupid, honestly does ESPN pay their people to say usc usc usc

[Collier11]

All the fox sports guys suck, Musberger, Herby, Nessler, and Mike Patrick are all great IMHO

[PalmBeachSooner]

I'd be surprised if fans even show up

Yeah, you can't even give away a ticket to this game. I'm surprised they are even showing this game on the TV machine. Aren't there any exciting WAC games on?

[Johnny Utah]

Guys, he's right. For as many people as we are putting in our stadium, it should be LOUDER!!! I mean, I've actually had people tap me on the shoulder and tell me to sit down and be quiet??????!!!!! And no I wasn't acting all crazy, just the same as any real fan would be. I don't understand.....

I'll run the risk of getting negged here but what is the deal with the fans? Based on how great the OU program has been the fans should (and have justification) to be crazy. As I've indicated before, I live in the midst of SEC country and its fans are rabid no matter how good or bad their team is. I think it does make a difference even if it's a perception of how tough your home field advantage is.

[Collier11]

You are absolutely right, it is a mindset. First of all, I would put money on it that in the SEC you cant be kicked out or told to sit down if you are standing. We have those who feel entitled for whatever reason to do what they want at a game cus it is "their money", well it is a football game. Fans are there to support the team and cheer, some of you say that you can cheer just the same by sitting down which is fine, but thats not the point. When you stand up, jump around if you choose, cheer the entire game, get into the game, it makes a difference. Boz was on the radio talking about how much better OU fans used to be at OU and how the fans when he played made a diff in the home games. We need to get back to that. There is no reason for anyone to sit down tommorrow night!

[Johnny Utah]

There is no reason for anyone to sit down tommorrow night!

Or any time OUr team is on the field! :)

[ratedrsuperstar]

when was the last time he did a big game in Norman? did he do the mizzou game last year?

We really don't have that many "big games" in Norman !

I hear a lot of folks here bragging about OU's home record under Stoops, but our biggest game every year is at a neutral site. If this was home and home, what would the home record be ? Other than Mizzou, who have we played in Norman ?

Miami, last night showed just how down they are.
Alabama in '02, they weren't nothing compared to the tide these days.
UCLA ?, They still play football ?

Our non-conference home games since 2000, not exactly impressive ! A few big names, but most of them were in down times for their programs.

[MichiganSooner]

I don't know who goes to our games, I guess. Every single game I have attended which is about 4 a year and sometimes a bowl or Big 12 Champhionship game, I have HAD to stand if I wanted to see the game.
The only time anyone has sat down around me is during a timeout and during the halftime. No one has ever told me to sit down. Due to work, I have not gone to any games this year. What is going on now?

[Jdog]

hope he's not - he use to be a sports reporter in Tulsa

[TopDawg]

Yeah, but we have a lot more people in our stadium than Tech...

I was agreeing with Musberger's comment that Tech is a loud place to play (lately) but disagreeing with his comment that they are louder than we are/can be.

When it comes to big games, Owen Field can get loud. Really loud. Is it partly because we have more fans? Absolutely. But it's also because we have fans that will get loud when they need to. They just don't need to very often.

[mhackl]

I'm not a big Brent Musburger fan, but that's beside the point. We, the fans, need to show up better than we ever have tomorrow. The fact is that we do have our moments, but we are not a consistently loud fan base. As dedicated as the Sooner Nation is Norman should be the scariest place in college football.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Yeah, and we oughtta be able to do it without yell practice or having coaches and commentators challenge us.

[goodolesooner]

Sooner fans = Smart fans.

Memorial Stadium will be rockin' tomorrow night.

I'm gonna walk around the stadium for a few hours leading up to the game, then get back to my house, open up my door so I can hear the crowd, and turn on the tv.

Cannot wait.

[The Maestro]

You're kidding, right?

No, but you seem to know more than the folks who have seen Brent Musburger be a mainstay on sports television for over 30 years. I'll get him in contact with you so he can find out to improve.

30 years in, he is the play by play man for the main game in college football every week...so executives, advertisers and most of America disagrees with you.

Let me guess. ESPN sucks, too.

[OK2LA]

Could be dangerous situation - if we get down, it's easy to clam up - especially when it's a cold night. People want to sit down and huddle up to try to keep warm. We need everyone to be drunk as Cooter Brown and take their shirts off. No matter how old, fat, and ugly you are. Especially that 80 year old granny on the 50.

[Johnny Utah]

All the college announcers are annoying in one form or another. At least Pus Burger (lmao) is pretty entertaining, primarily unbiased, and makes a decent team with Herbie (who is annoying in his own right).

[Curly Bill]

Thought Musberger did a good job tonight.
