Official Sun Bowl Thread: Oklahoma vs Stanford

[ocsooner]

Nice pass. Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!

[HSC-Sooner]

Very nice drive.

[soonermagic14]

lets go D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mightysooner]

Landry is playing really well if you take away the pick as are the WR's. Impressive so far...

[OUinFLA]

what's the over/under on this game?


could be a shoot out vs a run out

[ocsooner]

there were 5 TD posts before I saw it on the screen!! I'm waaaay behind.

[Okie35]

Now that is what I like to see. When Jones is good he's really good. Broyles is the best receiver in the nation I don't care what anyone says.

[freshchris05]

wow!!!

[Petro-Sooner]

What a hit.

[sooner518]

RONNELLL!!!! that guy is a fuggin STUD!!

[XFollower]

LEWIS IS AN ANIMAL

[OUinFLA]

there were 5 TD posts before I saw it on the screen!! I'm waaaay behind.

I dont know how far you really are behind, but we beat osu easily in Norman.

YWIA

[sooner59]

LEWIS!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

[mightysooner]

Hahaha!!!! Ronnell is crushing people today!

[freshchris05]

man child

[XFollower]

Christmas is over, not sure how you are going to get those two front teeth back.

[Okie35]

Lewis OMG he is killing. Stanford will KEEP running the ball I don't think the defense is aware of this. Please get a damn stop!

[Eielson]

I can't wait to see Lewis next year.

[beer4me]

Gerhart is starting to pick up steam me no likey

[freshchris05]

most physical game in a long time

[Okie35]

most physical game in a long time

More physical than the Nebraska game?

[Monster Zero]

He's gonna get a run now and then.

[ocsooner]

More physical than the Nebraska game?

The offense is doing something this time...

[XFollower]

What's that bitter sweet smell coming from the Stanford band?

[TUSooner]

A really good thing about this game: NO THOM BRENNAMAN :)

[swardboy]

I want to see Ronnell send Gerhart into an alternate universe...all nice and legal of course.

[snuballer7]

I want to see Lewis get a clean shot at Toby!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

letting them throw the ball now? wtf? lay somebody out D!

[ocsooner]

Flags for what?????

[bluedogok]

A really good thing about this game: NO THOM BRENNAMAN :)
He's probably doing some leg humping somewhere.

[freshchris05]

i don't remember the neb game very well... rough night

[TUSooner]

gee a penalty, and it's on OU. amazing

[sooner518]

LUCKY MOTHER****ERS!!!!!!

GADANGIT!!

just knock it out of the endzone!!!!!

[beer4me]

cluster ****

[Okie35]

Come on WHAT THE ****

[chad]

WTF wouldn't you knock it out the back of the end zone?

[ocsooner]

You can't get that ball???????? Come on.

[TUSooner]

Gerhart never fumbles. He does it twice in this game and recovers them both, once for a TD..........
sheesh

[HSC-Sooner]

How did we not recover that?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

unfriggin believable....

[freshchris05]

sonofabitch

[Petro-Sooner]

damit

[GrapevineSooner]

Uh, Jonathan?

You SHOULD have recovered that damn ball!!!

[Okie35]

J. Nel drop on the ****ing ball ... ****KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk

[ArkanSooner]

Boys I think we've got ourselves a football player in Mr. Lewis.

[boomerborn79]

push it out the back of the end zone

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

i thought Luck wasn't playing for Stanford today?

[Eielson]

We sure are trying hard to prove that we aren't very good.

[red_man49]

All he had to do was fall on it!! ugh!!

[TUSooner]

I guess the D figuyed if they stopped Gerhart a couple of times he'd just give up. dang.

[Eielson]

Gerhardt is getting rid of what for New Years?

[OUinFLA]

at least we didnt try to run that one out

[soonervegas]

We are getting punched in the mouth in a bowl game.....I wonder what the response will be?

[OUinFLA]

nose tackle..............I'd hate to think my job was to tackle noses.

[bluedogok]

i thought Luck wasn't playing for Stanford today?
BA Luck is better than Andrew any day....

[GrapevineSooner]

I think that Adrian Taylor injury is starting to have an affect on this game, unfortunately.

This season can't end soon enough.

[lloyd45]

i thought Luck wasn't playing for Stanford today?

nice :)

[Eielson]

We are getting punched in the mouth in a bowl game.....I wonder what the response will be?

Same as every other year?

[ndpruitt03]

OU's defense is basically 5 linemen and stop everything up the middle. Stanford just adjusted by having counters and running outside and are running way from our line.

[beer4me]

He looks like he is favoring that right leg as he is being lifted by two guys off the field wtf who are these announcers good grief

[TXBOOMER]

All we have to do is slap the loose ball out of the back of the endzone and it is ours on the twenty. Joke football continues.

[swardboy]

Great. 3 and out

[freshchris05]

vomit

[XFollower]

Um....

[sooner518]

I HATE THAT ****ING PUNT FORMATION!!!!

[TXBOOMER]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL RU Fing kidding me.

[SoonerDood]

this went from bad to worse in a hurry

[OUinFLA]

did anyone ever tell #69 that his job is to block in the punt formation?

[allanace16]

Yeah........ guys running unabated to the punter: not a good thing

[snuballer7]

was Raterree wide open when Jones tried to get the ball to Broyles with 3 guys around him???

[E-Town]

This is not looking good.

[beer4me]

omg how many more times we gotta watch this crap in a bowl game?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

typical. with the way this season has gone..why would it be any different now?

[TUSooner]

This looks familiar. slop, turnover, penalties, more slop, another turnover.

[Eielson]

It's a good thing we didn't get in his way. He might have gotten hurt.

[Explodo]

oh man...we some some serious coaching help now. The players are trying to quit.

[sooner518]

holding dickheads

[Easting]

Oh geez

[bluedogok]

Punt Team - You have to block before you go down field to tackle.

[ocsooner]

was Raterree wide open when Jones tried to get the ball to Broyles with 3 guys around him???

Soon, Landry is going to learn to look at a second or third receiver on a consistent basis. He is young, and probably in before he was ready. When he starts to see the whole field, he will be very dangerous. Until then...

[Sirus]

Are we going for a record today to see how many different penalties we can get called for?

[XFollower]

D needs to come up big here.

[sooner518]

why is it that when our defense is playing well, they are all over the line of scrimmage before the play starts, everyone moving around and jumping in and out, and then everything goes to crap when we decide to run some base defense with absolutely no pre-snap deception with 4 down linemen and no one within 5 yards of the LOS?

and turn the freakin bands down!

[ndpruitt03]

Typical badly coached and not well prepared OU team. Not much different from the last couple of years. We'll have a tough time next year with basically the same staff and a lot of the same players.

[WildBlueSooner]

WTF? Domique?

[FaninAma]

I am curious as to what this coaching staff does every year during the time between OU's last regular season game(or CCG) and their bowl games.

It sure the heck isn't coaching.

[freshchris05]

come on o

[ndpruitt03]

Stanford adjusted in this game, we won't adjust. Because our staff doesn't believe in ingame adjustments.

[Okie35]

Please score here and after the half ... thank you

[XFollower]

We are not out of this nor even close to giving up. Come on, be positive.

[76soonergrad]

Typical badly coached and not well prepared OU team. Not much different from the last couple of years. We'll have a tough time next year with basically the same staff and a lot of the same players.

Our special teams had been good up to the blocked punt, though. The two hits on kickoffs were outstanding.

[freshchris05]

really?

[WildBlueSooner]

Morris Madu? The announcers suck balls

[TUSooner]

Looks like the refs are getting paid by the penalty

[snuballer7]

You can add Morris Madu to this list of crappy announcing!

[ocsooner]

Morris Modu??? When did he come on the team?

[swardboy]

Why even try to return a damn kick off?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

do we not teach players how to block on kick offs? geez

[beer4me]

flag thats new

[boomerborn79]

we will go in tied everyone calm down. We are better in the second half of all bowl games. This one is still in hand. Were good.

[ndpruitt03]

The players are playing hard and playing well, but this team wasn't ready for Stanford's adjustments.

[kingsby]

And there it is ... the I haven't got a clue look from Bob.

Seems to always show up in Bowl Games, Road Games, Non-Conference Games, Neutral Site Games .....

[Chuck Bao]

We are going to march down the field here and tie this baby up before half.

[Okie35]

I am curious as to what this coaching staff does every year during the time between OU's last regular season game(or CCG) and their bowl games.

It sure the heck isn't coaching.

You're kidding right?! Last year we played a good game it was the players that made mistakes.

[Eielson]

Stanford adjusted in this game, we won't adjust. Because our staff doesn't believe in ingame adjustments.

They adjusted? News to me. Their plays just started working better.

[sooner518]

The players are playing hard and playing well, but this team wasn't ready for Stanford's adjustments.

their adjustment of running Gerhardt every other play?

[Easting]

Oh geez

[freshchris05]

good play

[swardboy]

Nice "look out" blocks

[ndpruitt03]

Stanford's defense and offense have both adjusted. They've been beating our line with blitzes and are just running away from our rush. It'll be tough to even be close in this one with how Stanford is coached. They actually change things up.

[Eielson]

Holy Hell! Was that a screen pass?

[XFollower]

Did Demarco bring his cleets today?

[boomerborn79]

MURRAY-one mississippi two mississippi fall down

[Sooner Eclipse]

Why are we wasting so much time?

[WildBlueSooner]

Our receivers are looking very good today...first time in a while I have been so impressed!

[ndpruitt03]

their adjustment of running Gerhardt every other play?
OU is trying to stuff the middle. All Stanford is doing is getting outside and running counters to counter that blitz.

[beer4me]

nothing has worked up the middle how many more times is that play gonna be called

[freshchris05]

flag? no?

[ocsooner]

MURRAY-one mississippi two mississippi fall down

This is his first bowl game. Give him a break. Or maybe the benefit of the doubt, we can't say break on this team, someone might take you seriously and break something.

[sooner518]

wow our screen passes just dont work this year.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

making Stanfod D look all world right now

[Eielson]

Put Madu at runningback.

[Okie35]

We are really not equipped to come back from being down.

[XFollower]

looked like PI to me

[freshchris05]

refs suck

[beer4me]

I am glad we never get flags or anything

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

anyone keeping a running tally of how many holding penalties we've had this year?

[bluedogok]

I guess all that bumping and tugging on Broyles during that play does not constitute illegal contact/pass interference...

[sooner518]

and another holding. can we stop them from going 50 yards in 50 seconds?

[Okie35]

Put Madu at runningback.

Or out there somewhere at least he knows hes elusive.

[Sirus]

we have reached our penalty quota already:rolleyes:

[Eielson]

wow our screen passes just dont work this year.

Our line is still determined to block every pass play like it's a screen.

[Eielson]

wow our screen passes just dont work this year.

Our line is still determined to block every pass play like it's a screen.

[MarylandSooner]

OU - worst coached, worst prepared OU team I have seen in a while.

[rawlingsHOH]

making Stanfod D look all world right now

No

[Petro-Sooner]

Our line is still determined to block every pass play like it's a screen.

Its all they know. :D

[boomerborn79]

This is his first bowl game. Give him a break. Or maybe the benefit of the doubt, we can't say break on this team, someone might take you seriously and break something.

Brown atleast counts till 4. Brown is running like it is his last game. Give him the ball. Could be down 28-17 but were not. OU will do better in the second.

[ndpruitt03]

OU - worst coached, worst prepared OU team I have seen in a while.

No it's the same coaching we've had for about 10 years and the same staff for about 5. You were expecting more from OU? This team has been poorly coached for years not just this year.

[E-Town]

I guess the grinch stole the Sooner Magic this year.

[OUinFLA]

our cheerleaders wear traiining bras

[Rickety_Syd]

OU - worst coached, worst prepared OU team I have seen in a while.

Um, maybe this is just a slightly above average team this year . . . with many of its best players injured . . .

By the way, Stanford isn't exactly Baylor . . . they are ranked 21st, beat Oregon and scored 51 points on USC . . .

[FaninAma]

OU - worst coached, worst prepared OU team I have seen in a while.

At least since the last bowl game OU was in during the past 4 years with the possible exception of last year's defense.

[adoniijahsooner]

Sam Ryan puts Erin Andrews to shame!!

[Petro-Sooner]

of course cbs has to get their "holy one" clip in.

[gaylordfan1]

All I have to say is "R. Lewis"! Kid is a animal! Besides that our D needs to step up!

[beer4me]

IMO unless a stupid turnover I don't think Stanford will score again


we will go in tied everyone calm down. We are better in the second half of all bowl games. This one is still in hand. Were good.

We are both delusional but I still think we win :P ;) :D :D

[WA. Sooner]

Take 7 out put 29 in

[mightysooner]

D needs to step up???? No. They need to show up period.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

bowl games + OU = bad start to new year...

[Monster Zero]

Take 7 out put 29 in

Yeah or play the young guys.

Jeez...

[gaylordfan1]

Sam Ryan puts Erin Andrews to shame!!

Not even close! Produce some peep hole pictures and I will compare. Until then I'm staying with Erin!

[mightysooner]

Um, maybe this is just a slightly above average team this year . . . with many of its best players injured . . .

By the way, Stanford isn't exactly Baylor . . . they are ranked 21st, beat Oregon and scored 51 points on USC . . .

Here comes the excuse crew.

[LibertyValance]

Very discouraging first half. No continuity to the offense. We broke some plays early when their safeties were out of position, but they've adjusted and we haven't.

[sooner59]

Take 7 out put 56 in

Fixed!

[Blues1]

of course cbs has to get their "holy one" clip in.

Can We EVER get away from this Asssshole...?

[recemp]

I keep waiting for us to come out in a second half and take control of a game

[AmmoJr]

We suck.

[boomersooner28]

Is there somewhere we can send $ to get some fair officiating?

[possumfat]

we will be out coaced the second half..................

[ArkanSooner]

Thank God we're only down a touchdown.

Here's hoping Stoops and Co. can make some good adjustments.

On a positive note, I have been very impressed by Ronnell Lewis, and also the receivers.

[NOVSooner]

anyone keeping a running tally of how many holding penalties we've had this year?

i'd just like to know how many brandon has himself....or maybe i don't want to know

[Eielson]

Ingram refuses to wear shirts that cover his shoulders.

[boomersooner28]

8 penalties on us. 2 HUGE missed penalties on them that turned into points. We have the best defensive front in the country and yet they NEVER get held. It's amazing.

I am sick and ****ing tired of it. I'm thinking Bob has wore out his welcome with every official in the US.

[soonerfan69]

why are they not calling anything on their left tackle it seems like everytime the DE gets by him he reachs out and grabs him it's pissing me off

[Blues1]

Right now I'm just HOPING we Don't get Blown Out....

IF we are going to win this game WE Better play or BEST Half of Football for This Year.... jmho.....Injuries - Penatlies -- Will it ever Stop...??

Come On Oklahoma Sooners makes US PROUD ~~~~ and get ROCKIN"

[soonerfan69]

the d-line needs to stepup and dominate this second half

[ndpruitt03]

What evidence do we have that our coaches make adjustments? I remember Stoops saying something like "We don't believe in adjustments. We just have to play better." Other teams believe in this concept but we don't.

[gaylordfan1]

Ingram refuses to wear shirts that cover his shoulders.

Ingram can't find a shirt that covers his shoulders.

[mightysooner]

8 penalties on us. 2 HUGE missed penalties on them that turned into points. We have the best defensive front in the country and yet they NEVER get held. It's amazing.

I am sick and ****ing tired of it. I'm thinking Bob has wore out his welcome with every official in the US.

No we don't have the best defensive front in the country. You've seen Nebraska's defense right?

[boomersooner28]

I wonder what the Sun Bowl record is for penalties. I bet we shatter it.

[Okie35]

Why are ppl so negative? IF, and i emphasize on IF, we score coming out of the half we're back in the game. You guys are acting like we are down 2+ scores or something.

[soonerfan69]

No we don't have the best defensive front in the country. You've seen Nebraska's defense right?

and they produce every week

[goingoneight]

This truly is just a game that should never have been played. Completely predictable outcome from here on out, nothing to play for but injuries.

[boomersooner28]

No we don't have the best defensive front in the country. You've seen Nebraska's defense right?

I personally think OUr collective front is better than Suh. Some may disagree.

[Eielson]

What evidence do we have that our coaches make adjustments? I remember Stoops saying something like "We don't believe in adjustments. We just have to play better." Other teams believe in this concept but we don't.

Freaking out and redoing your gameplan every 5 seconds isn't a good thing. It is often nothing more than executing.

[recemp]

What evidence do we have that our coaches make adjustments? I remember Stoops saying something like "We don't believe in adjustments. We just have to play better." Other teams believe in this concept but we don't.

The lack of adjustment seems to be apparent in these bowl games

[Okie35]

I personally think OUr collective front is better than Suh. Some may disagree.

Yes collectively and depth wise our defensive line is easily better. I know its no excuse but we play better on grass, hands down.

[bluedogok]

bowl games + OU = bad start to new year...
It is STILL 2009, so the "new year" for football will start fresh next September.

[Eielson]

Are they ever going to figure out how to say Mossis Madu?

[soonerfan69]

Quit running the same play

[SoonerKnight]

I just want to win this game!!! For pride!

[WildBlueSooner]

17= DeMarco?

[Eielson]

Yes collectively and depth wise our defensive line is easily better. I know its no excuse but we play better on grass, hands down.

Crick, Steinkuhler, and Suh is better than McCoy, Taylor, and McFarland. Not sure about their ends.

[Sirus]

Quit running the same play

Wilson is a guy who likes to keep going to the well for water and leaving footprints

[recemp]

Freaking out and redoing your gameplan every 5 seconds isn't a good thing. It is often nothing more than executing.

Would it be too much to ask to improve execution AND adjust to what is doing on?

[Eielson]

17= DeMarco?

Madu.

[WildBlueSooner]

DM=choke!

[sooner518]

it took Stanford 5 plays for the fake injuries to start..... i bet that DB is back in already

[goingoneight]

DeMarco looks frustrated... just not himself today.

[recemp]

Looks like Murray is getting into it

[sooner518]

TD Broyles!!!!!!!

[goingoneight]

There we go...

[ArkanSooner]

Broyles is the man.

[XFollower]

I think we adjusted.

[Eielson]

Would it be too much to ask to improve execution AND adjust to what is doing on?

I'm just saying that sometimes it's just up to the kids to execute and that I would rather adjust too little than too much.

[SoonerInLubbock]

Wow an actual play-action pass.

[goingoneight]

DM=choke!

More like a cough... you saw the next play, right?

[Okie35]

See we're back in it!!!!

[Jacie]

An 80-yard drive and no penalties!

[Sirus]

I think we adjusted.

don't curse just yet

[OUinFLA]

man, jones locks on broyles right out of the gate.
broyles' athleticism is what is keeping us going

[Rickety_Syd]

and I gues that TD has nothing to do with coaching . . . it's all the players . . .

[E-Town]

Let's see what our D can do now.

[goingoneight]

Problem... Toby time. :(

[LibertyValance]

A clean drive with no penalties or negative plays - how about that!

[recemp]

I'm just saying that sometimes it's just up to the kids to execute and that I would rather adjust too little than too much.

I hear you.

[WildBlueSooner]

Broyles is the man.

^this!

[SoonerKnight]

what happened to toby is too slow??

[goingoneight]

Why can Stanford recruit a guy who kicks it through the endzone, and we have Moreland?

[OU Adonis]

Our kicker just hurt himself.

[SoonerKnight]

kidding right?

[pb4ou]

come on D!!!!!!!!!

[goingoneight]

Fumbled snap, he still has time to throw a pick 6... that we drop.

[soonerfan69]

DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jacie]

Three and OUt!

[WildBlueSooner]

That is how you tackle him....great play and great D. Lets get it going again O! Boomer Sooner!

[sooner518]

3 and out! nice. i like our gameplan. load up on the LOS and dare Pritchard to beat us.

[soonerfan69]

It sucks we keep starting at the 16

[pb4ou]

nice 3 and out!!! Now go take the lead!!!

[SoonerKnight]

BOOMER FREAKING SOONER!!! LETS GO!!!

[soonerfan69]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMERRRR

[SoonerKnight]

SOOOOONER!!!

[IronSoonerMan]

Don't call it a comeback...
Cause We was never gone!!



Lets go SOONERS!!!

[goingoneight]

Pass interference... we'll take it!

[ouduckhunter]

Sooner!!!

Did you just see me on the Geico commercial????

[WildBlueSooner]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMERRRR

SOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEERRRRRRRRRRR!

[IronSoonerMan]

CB is THE Man!

[soonerfan69]

BOOOOOOOOOOMERRRR

[SoonerKnight]

SOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEERRRRRRRRRRR!

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMER

[IronSoonerMan]

SOOONNNEEERRRR

[SoonerKnight]

Let's bring back the SOOOONER STOMP!!

[Eielson]

Anybody remember our announcers from last year? They were so awful. This is a nobody bowl and our announcers aren't anywhere near as annoying.

[soonerfan69]

BOOOOOOOOOOMEERRRRR

[pb4ou]

good running

[goingoneight]

Stay with the hot hands... Broyles and Brown for right now. Was DeJuan earlier.

[freshchris05]

bad call

[XFollower]

Go for it!

[goingoneight]

Too high for DM. :(

[IronSoonerMan]

Lets go O!!

[SCOUT]

Ugh.

[soonerfan69]

that was doomed from the start

[ArkanSooner]

Why give it to Murray instead of Brown on that 4th and 1?

[goingoneight]

Great job getting to the line and hurrying up the 4th down call... NOT!

[pb4ou]

shucks

[Explodo]

for pete's sake...WHy not just walk up and say "WE"RE GOING TO RUN RIGHT HERE!!!!" Horrid CAll.

[XFollower]

3 linemen standing up watching the pile up in progress

[Sooner Eclipse]

:( we suck at 4th and 1 this year.

[Jack T.]

Was there any question as to whether we would get that?

[soonerfan69]

DEEEEEEEEEEEFENSE

[freshchris05]

damnit... why all the injuries? 2009 will not die
