Utah State Optimism

[soonerboy]

This is just them talking about the opening line but it sure seems like they think they're gonna play us like they did A@M last year.

I have never seen so much confidence that they will cover the spread.. Reminds me of a South Park episode.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

I guess they don't remember 54-3. By the way, we've never scored less than 49 on these guys...

[KantoSooner]

That is a big spread. I think we do more than cover, of course, but I can fully understand skepticism. You almost never think your team is 5 TDs behind their opposition.

[gaylordfan1]

I just noticed we haven't had any USU trolls this week.... And I do think we cover. I think we as a team have something to prove!

[soonerboy]

Right, I think we cover as well. I dont think that they have the defense to slow down OUr offense, especially since this O-line has something to prove.

USU Penguin can't be too far behind.

Is it really worth it???

[gaylordfan1]

Is it really worth it???

Sure, they seem pretty confident on their board. I saw that we had one on theirs. It's fun going back and forth with the enemy!

[Mad Dog Madsen]

We kind of trash could they talk? "I bet we hold yall's offense under 500 yards!" lol. :D

[Dan Thompson]

I think the score will be whatever Bob wants it to be. I expect to see some second stringers in there by the second half.

[badger]

Is it really optimism if you're talking about beating the spread instead of talking about beating the opponent :confused:

Who thinks we are going to run it up? Try and get Murray 200 yards and Jones to throw for at least 300?

or is Stoops going to rotate all the 2 deep often and early for experience especially with all the true freshman and keep this around 42-10 type game.

If they get the chance, Bob will drop 70 on them. Although it's viewed as being "unsportsman like", pollsters and coaches watch very few games and having a 70-0 makes a nice impression.

I'm going to say B. Sure would be nice to get all those youngsters some game experience.

[cvsooner]

It being the first game of the season, I suspect Stoops will keep the starters in as long as he possibly can. Maybe against FSU or Air Force, with a big enough lead, then you can get some playing experience time.

[85sooners]

blow them out!!!!!

[sooneron]

And when have you seen this happen before the * game?

We'll have to be up by 50 for Landry to be taken out.

[soonerborn30]

Yeah, I know. That's why I said it'd be nice. That's what I say when I know something won't happen.

Ex: It sure would be nice if Scarlett Johannsen would stop by the house in her underwear.

I can dream, right?

[goingoneight]

One quarter for each QB.

[OK2U]

Wilson indicated yesterday that Bell might Redshirt, so I guess you really want to see Nimmo in action, eh?

[SouthFortySooner]

False start, False start, dropped pass, punt. Jerry world leftovers. This team DOES have something to prove.

[stoopified]

I think it must truly be sad to be a fan of a team where your battle cry is WE CAN COVER THE SPREAD.

[Mississippi Sooner]

Has to be right up there with YOU CAN'T SHUT US OUT.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

Why punt on 3rd down?

[soonerborn30]

Wouldn't that be second?

[Mad Dog Madsen]

Oh yeah... Ha!

[yankee]

we're going to score at will against that defense...may take a drive or two to get warmed up, but i say we'll be up by at least 3 scores at halftime...their offense isn't too shabby...might actually be a good little test for the opening game.

[soonerboy]

Why punt on 2nd down??? because they'll never be expecting it...

[stoopified]

Why punt on 2nd down??? because they'll never be expecting it...Little Joe can teach DeMarco the art of the quick-kick.

[AlbqSooner]

Landry plays the first half and first series of the second.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I'm glad their fans are relatively optimistic. It will be funnier when they get their dicks knocked in the dirt.

[PDXsooner]

What do you guys expect them to do? What type of fan would be in the mindset of their team being butt-raped before the game even starts? I'm just glad they have fans, and that all of those posters aren't Florida or USC fans. It would be just as easy for those folks to root for some perennial winner than what is most likely their local team.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I just saw a story on the local news here where the new UNLV coach said he "doesn't expect to win every game, but he expects to try", so I see your point. I was like, man, I'm glad I'm an Oklahoma fan so I CAN expect to win every game.

[soonerboy]

You know I've never had my dicked kicked in the dirt....sounds like that would hurt pretty bad

[Crucifax Autumn]

Yes, but conveniently you'd be in a great position to "rub some dirt on it".

[BillyBall]

9 wins in 3 years. This isn't exactly FSU we are talking about here...

[DenverSooner751]

Truth.

[soonerboy]

Yes, but conveniently you'd be in a great position to "rub some dirt on it".

Gotta respect C.A. he always looks on the bright side

True dat.

Utah's team on the rise.
