FSU / BC

[ThinMan]

FSU already has given up a huge run and are down 3-0.

[ThinMan]

BC's runningback just busted another one. Has about 150 yards already. FSU could be in trouble.

[jumperstop]

Missed tackles from what I can see. Seems like some of the dumb plays we've given up. They're shutting then down in the red zone so far.

[Okie35]

BC always plays FSU tough their games the past few years have been close.

[ThinMan]

Good point. They have been lucky to hold them to two FGs.

When your defense is getting gashed like this, being down 6-0 probably isn't too bad.

Not at all, 1 TD and its all FSUs game.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

their offense isn't anything exciting either..

[ThinMan]

FSU has now had their second 3-and-outs. Gonna put that D back on the field.

[ThinMan]

Not at all, 1 TD and its all FSUs game.

I feel like if they could just get a first down, that the rest will take care of itself.

[MoJoOkie]

BC isn't a good team. If FSU doesn't beat them, it will suck for our SOS.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

I think he maybe had possession at the very last second.

[ThinMan]

BC isn't a good team. If FSU doesn't beat them, it will suck for our SOS.

Nice first post. Welcome.


FSU got their first stop, first first down and now are on the march, still they need this call or it's 3rd and 10. Don't think he had it.

[MoJoOkie]

Nice first post. Welcome. Thanks, I appreciate that.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

Wow these announcers are acting like it's SO absurd to think that this call is questionable. But I do believe it wasn't a catch.

[bluedogok]

I guess a producer told Craig James that what may be taking so long was figuring out the original spot since the play was being overturned. I doubt that he thought of that on his own.

[StoopTroup]

VOLLEYBALL!

[ThinMan]

That was the funniest 3rd down conversion I've seen this year. How many guys touched that?

[MoJoOkie]

Appreciate the updates. I'm at work and can't watch this game.

[CBUS_SOONER]

look what I found. Nice catch

[bluedogok]

TD FSU

Edit...nope, out at the 2 yard line.

[StoopTroup]

TD FSU

NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!

[ThinMan]

NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!

It is now.


7-6.

[StoopTroup]

TD?

I think we've gotten plays closer than that one called back for lack of control

[ThinMan]

I guess a producer told Craig James that what may be taking so long was figuring out the original spot since the play was being overturned. I doubt that he thought of that on his own.

They also put seconds back on the clock so there was apparently a lot that they were reviewing.

Most refs are old white men, so they take some time for a lot of things.

I know I need to root for FSU since we beat them but I'm finding it difficult.

[King Crimson]

BC sucks. If FSU loses this one, there's no point to the thread re: OU.

We made Ponder look like cat ***, but against ACC comp he may be great?

[ThinMan]

Reid nearly made a safety.
:P

[cccasooner2]

Reid nearly made a safety.
:P

LOL

[StoopTroup]

Thank Goodness that NBC is putting the Western Michigan v Notre Dame game on today. I've been waiting quite awhile for this one.

[StoopTroup]

Other than me LMAO

[Okie35]

Never knew we had that many interceptions since 2000, 183 ints wow.

[MoJoOkie]

I know I need to root for FSU since we beat them but I'm finding it difficult. I've got several teams ahead of them on the hate list. Even when there's hatred involved, I can't root against something that's good for OU. JMO

I'm finding it difficult is all.

Of course I find it difficult to root for either teh whorns or the corn cobs today....but I have to pick the whorns to knock off the huskers in lincoln.

It's even more difficult. :mack:

It's even more difficult. :mack: I'm conflicted on that one. I hate the whorns, and can still remember when Nebish was a respectful rivalry. But if the Huskers get by saxet, I am optimistic that we will get our shot at them in December. Might be one last classic game, with some Magic thrown in.

If Texas loses they are basically out of the South race.

[StoopTroup]

Was looking at teh huskers W-L and they haven't played anyone yet IMO. I took the whorns and the points today because of it.

I know lots of folks want the OU/NU win as teh huskers head out the door of the Big XII but unless they dominate teh whorns today....we'll kick their *** come Big XII CG. It doesn't look like anyone else other than maybe ISU at this point can upset the apple cart. We should pummel ISU tonight but until it's in the bag, I'll be on pins and needles.

[StoopTroup]

They are already out of it unless we stumble.

I'm not confident we won't.

Are you trying to argue this out? Seriously?

[MoJoOkie]

Well, I get off work shortly, so I can go home and watch some ball. Thanks again for the hospitality.

[ThinMan]

Are you trying to argue this out? Seriously?

Just pointing out that they are still in it. There's nothing to argue. That should be obvious to anyone who's seen the last decade.

[VA Sooner]

Glad FSU got another TD... will help our strength of schedule.

Go Air Force!

JJohnson is bad, :( he's a great guy friend of mine. i've seen his phone after a loss and it seriously goes off NON stop for hours straight. hahaha.


Mizzou could easily beat us.

[ThinMan]

Thinman....they are out of it unless we stumble. You did read my post right?

Yes ... I agreed with you. Unless we stumble. <shaking head>

It's not unprecedented. 2001 and 2006 were real examples. Even someone almost completely new to OU football should be able to think back that far. A loss at Nebraska basically eliminates them. Only 1 conference loss in could mean a 2006 or even a 2007 ending.

My, my, didn't someone get up on the wrong side of the bed.

I think Mizzou can beat Nebbish. In their first real road game, they're up 13-0 against A&M at College Station and just may score again just before half. I didn't know that they had such a stout defense. They have effectively shut down Jerrod Johnson and kept the Aggie offense at 2-9 3rd down conversions. Obviously, the home field advantage for A&M isn't what it used to be.

Mizzou looks pretty good. They are always a weird team...one week they kick *** and the next they play like crap. They really thought they were gonna beat our *** in the last Big XII CG we met them in at Arrowhead. I was freezing my *** off during that one once we had that one in the bag...I warmed right back up.

We had our Sam for Heisman Sign up that night.

[soonerboomer93]

that over turned touchdown was a tough break for mizzou

[ThinMan]

Missouri looks a heck of a lot better than Arkansas.

[sooner59]

Ole 5 star Greg Reid just dropped a sure pick in the endzone that would have been huge for FSU.

[ThinMan]

BC seems to have FSU's number at home. This would be 3 in a row.

[StoopTroup]

TAMU trying to grind it out. They better start throwing some stuff longer than 7 yarders

[tooslow]

I was about to talk about FSU not lookin worthy as our best win so far. Then it hit me. No matter what happens, as of now we have no good or bad losses, unlike most teams. :)

[ThinMan]

They should score here and that will be big. BC has still yet to find the end zone despite going toe-to-toe with them.

That's kind of my thoughts on the 4th quarter slumping we've seen. Bob is going for an undefeated Season this time. He's not trying to please anyone but himself IMO. I think he's moved towards his Win Out and things will pan out Theory again.

Every week we get better and every week we post a win. It's hard to argue anything when he keeps the Team posting W's.

I'd agree with you, but I'm afraid you'll throw another hissy fit about it.
:P

Seriously ... very good point.

[ThinMan]

It's now an 8 point lead ... so, per Mack Brown, BC is very close to winning.

[soonercastor]

So we let teams get back in games in attempt to go undefeated? That would make sense if we pulled our starters in the game. And saying he doesn't care is pushing it, playing emotional games every week has its toll on the players. Having one that is over (really over) would be nice (for him and the players) every now and then.

[swardboy]

Uh oh

I don't think anyone said "emotional games". I think ST just meant getting the win is all Stoops has cared about.

Nope.

Some of you guys don't read all of the posts around here so you start trying to come in on a particular statement and put it under a microscope.

You really shouldn't do that IMO.

I don't think Bob intentionally does this...I think he's getting guys PT and that effect of it is that we go flat in the 4th. The AF game was the purest example of it IMO. That game shouldn't have been that close but I think our guys thought they had it in the bag. At the end of the game Bob and the Coaches scrambled a bit to make sure we had that one in the bag. We were playing more depth chart guys at the end of some of these games instead of starters like he's done in the past.

This wouldn't really suprise me. Lack of depth has not been out problem. It's a lack of experience for those players beyond the starters and backups.

[StoopTroup]

BTW....I'm pretty sure I don't know what Bob is thinking all the time....but he's doing stuff differently this year IMO. In 2000 after we'd seen the Ninja Offense and Josh was at the helm for his 2nd season...we were playing KU at Home and won that one 34-16 but I thought we really played that game badly. We really hadn't played anyone at that point and heading towards the Cotton Bowl I was pretty uneasy about our chances. What the hell did I know....we clobbered teh whorns 63-14 and it was over at half. It was like Bob got the Team to shift gears at that point and we came out of 1st gear for the first time that season and ran through the gears on tejas....leaving tire tracks down their back.

I'm comparing what happened that season to what I think is getting ready to happen tonight. I think Bob and the Team are getting ready to run through the gears tonight and instead of it being tejas....it's Iowa St.

[Chuck Bao]

I do remember a lot of criticism on this board in the past for Coach Stoops not giving the backups more playing time in the fourth quarter just in case one of the starters were to be injured. Now, the criticism seems to be that we are not sufficiently running up the score in the fourth quarter. Gee.

[Chuck Bao]

Ponder has 3 interceptions and 1 fumble? No wonder this game is closer than it should be.

[soonercastor]

He's not trying to please anyone but himself IMO.

this is the main point I was arguing about; that suggests that he's pleased with how the games ended up, which wouldn't make sense. Of course we take the win but we all know that Bob or any other good football coach for that matter looks way beyond the W.
But yeah we're getting better by the games, and we should really unleash the dragon tonight :D

[soonercastor]

On a side note does anyone know whey ESPN has everything OU in gold this season? Its been like this since day 1 and I never really figured what that was about

Too many turnovers by FSU keeping BC in the game... good win in the fourth quarter though.

You have seen how he treats the press right? When I'm saying that he's just trying to please himself....that entails quite a few things if I were Bob. I know he doesn't GAS what the Sports Reporters think. I know he'd like to see every fan on their feet screaming their *** off for the Team even when they are struggling...etc...

It's just a feeling I've had since the FSU win. I can't put my finger on it exactly but I think he's just not going to drop a game. Even when the Team hasn't performed like he wanted....he seems reserved. Bob is really different this year and I can't exactly explain it either. It just reminds me of that Win Out Theory he had a few years ago. I think it wasn't hard to see that our Sooners had the makings of a good team and that our Schedule was strong enough to use that Win Out Theory even though the Media doesn't want to see the Sooners play for another title game. If anything scares me about close games this year it would be the Oregon Ref type scenario happening again during a tight one. Drop a game this year and we won't fair well trying to make it to the BCSCG even with a Big XII Championship under our belt.

That's kind of why thin man trying to manipulate what I was saying and ****ing with me got him some red. Win out and we could very well win it all. tejas and the 2001 2006 BS he was spewing has nothing to do with me changing my mind that if we win every damn game....we could make a BCS Title game. Screw tejas and all the teams we play that are in tejas. Bring your A game....these Sooners don't lose.

Agree
Agree
and fixed :D because we're OU

[StoopTroup]

lol

[bluedogok]

Obviously, the home field advantage for A&M isn't what it used to be.
That should make it easier for us OU fans to get tickets for the game at Kyle Field. My Aggie friends told me to wait until the game before buying anything because most were not very optimistic about the season.

[StoopTroup]

They should probably quit on that Sacred Turf thing they have at Kyle. Matter of fact...if my Team was playing that bad...I'd have them out there cutting up the sod and putting something in that wasn't cursed.
