yall gonna watch Mizzou at Arizona St tonight?

[JLEW1818]

9:30 PM ESPN

[olevetonahill]

With beer in hand

[delhalew]

I know the pathetic PAC12 better pick it up, or that tv deal isn't worth crap.

[BigTip]

Big 12 Big 12 clap clap clap

[rekamrettuB]

Sure

[htownsooner7]

Probably, but I had the misfortune of watching Mizzou last week and came away with one major observation. Franklin must be the most overhyped prospect I have seen. He looked terrible, their offense looked terrible, and perhaps the worst thing was that it was clear that Pinkel didn't trust Franklin at all. In the 4th quarter on a few drives they basically just conceded three and outs by pounding it into the middle of the line rather than let Franklin really put the game away. All I was hearing all summer was that Mizzou "might not miss a beat with Franklin" and that "Gabbert won't be missed." Totally false. Unless something radically changes between now and the 24th, our defense should absolutely shut Mizzou down.

[WestAustinSooner]

Will be watching with an Arizona State grad after we watch the Westlake vs. A&M Consolidated game at Westlake HS.

[olevetonahill]

Its College Football aint it?

[UTgradOUfan]

Go Chaps!

[aj44mc]

I am hoping ASU can compete a little better than UofA. I was going to the game but ended up stuck at work tonight.

[KantoSooner]

I'm hoping for more 'show' out of the Pac12. So far this season they have strongly resembled flaccid penii.

[badger]

:D

[aj44mc]

Very nice. Not only was I allowed into ASU, I escaped with a degree. I am still waiting for them to catch their mistake.

[CBUS_SOONER]

yes sir

[3rdgensooner]

If college football is on, I usually watch.

[thecrimsoncrusader]

Missouri's offense better get a lot better in a hurry or they will lose to Oklahoma by 90 points instead of 70.

[CowboyMRW]

I think ASU wins this one for some reason. Mizzou did not impress me one bit last week

[budbarrybob]

There is a reason this game is played on Fri night.

[Soonerfan88]

After that long offseason, I will definitely be soaking up every game I can. However, the tv will as usual be on mute.

[SoonerofAlabama]

All of this.

[Sooner Tri]

9:30! These late night games will be good practice for when we are part of the PAC16. Help reset my football-watching internal clock! I'm used to games ending at 9:30!

[ouwasp]

I'm going to a high school fb game, so I'll catch the 2nd half. Hoping the much-hyped ASU unis aren't as horrible as Maryland's!

[SoonerStud615]

ASU will don their all-blacks tonight, if anyone cares.

Hope it comes with the smoke as well.

[8timechamps]

I hope Mizzou shows up better this week. I want the PAC to see how good our mid-tier programs are, before they get too excited about the big boys comin'.

[SoonerJack]

shouldn't have to mute it tonight. That idiot Davies is doing the Louisville v FIU game.

If there were a funny movie about college football, Will Farrell would play this guy.

[sooner59]

FIU - 21
Louisville - 3

9:28 2nd qtr

Wow...Anybody still want to talk about letting Louisville in the conference as a replacement school?

[C&CDean]

I grew up hating ASU with a passion. Back then, them and Arizona were in the Border Conference, then the WAC, then finally the Pac. Sunny Scumdevil is a dildo, Frank Kush can suck a giant Wilbur the Wildcat dick, and I hope the pathetic Tiggers from Columbia wax their asses.

[Scott D]

sure why not, it can't be any worse than FIU @ Papa John's U

[soonerboomer93]

Thanks to the armada infront of me, I am currently watching 300. I should go see if they get ESPN.

(yeah, I am bored in the drive thu line posting on the webz)

[MichiganSooner]

Are you going to watch the game till the end? Which will be about 1:30 AM?

Sooners fans who want to go to Pac 12 league continue to say there will be no late night games if we go there.

[silverwheels]

Blah blah blah. TV networks will not put as big a draw as OU on at 10:30 eastern time. Find something else to complain about.

[aj44mc]

Half the reason the games are so late here in September is that right now the temp at Sundevil stadium is 100F.

[Okie35]

Missouri has a 21 non conference game winning streak? So bowls don't count? They lost to Iowa! Espin sucks

[silverwheels]

New ASU logo and uniforms suck. Bring back Sparky and the maroon.

[cccasooner2]

Might as well. Got a few vBucks on Mizery. Lost on the red chickens.

[sooner59]

I will give them one thing. Those uniforms are pretty sweet. Love the helmets.

[silverwheels]

Missouri had better hope that Franklin plays about 100 times better than he did against Miami. Their defense looks like it stayed in Columbia.


Also, I'm less worried about the Mizzou game than I was before the season, even without Travis (if he's still not good to go).

[silverwheels]

I will give them one thing. Those uniforms are pretty sweet. Love the helmets.

I think they're terrible. School colors all over the country are getting pushed aside for generic black, and every team wants to have a matte black helmet now. It's lame. The color gradients on the numbers are stupid, too. And the pitchfork makes them look like the the Poseidons, not the Sun Devils.

[salth2o]

I like those flat black helmets ASU is wearing.

[Sooner95]

watch? yes Mute? Yes

[mdklatt]

ASU will don their all-blacks tonight, if anyone cares.


Aggy is aggy, regardless of the state. If you think new uniforms will make things better, you've got bigger problems than uniforms. Go check out any of the dozen uniform threads on OP.com. So sad.

[silverwheels]

Also, all black in the desert sounds like a great idea. At least it's not a day game, I guess.

[silverwheels]

QB was lucky that wasn't picked. Nice catch.

[mdklatt]

Missouri has a 21 non conference game winning streak? So bowls don't count? They lost to Iowa!

I don't think that's true even if you only count regular season games.

There are far too many different kinds of streaks nowadays. Regular season winning streaks. Non-conference winning streaks. Non-conference regular season home winning streaks. Conference opener away game winning streaks. OU is undefeated all-time in regular season non-conference home openers against teams from states with unicameral legislatures.

[instigator]

Helmets aren't bad and the logo is actually cool. Can't say the same for the multicolored numbers or Mizzou's defense.

[mdklatt]

Also, all black in the desert sounds like a great idea. At least it's not a day game, I guess.

They don't ever play day games, do they? Not until late October or November anyway.

[silverwheels]

They don't ever play day games, do they? Not until late October or November anyway.

They avoid them. I remember a day game against USC in early October a few years ago and no one showed up because they would have cooked on the aluminum bleachers.

[mdklatt]

Helmets aren't bad and the logo is actually cool. Can't say the same for the multicolored numbers or Mizzou's defense.

The uniforms aren't bad looking, but they're not Arizona State uniforms. I think we're going to start to see the Nike-ized homogenization of uniforms more and more. You'll flip through the channels and every game will be indistinguishable. At that point, what don't all the teams just start running the same offenses and we can call it the NFL.

Like the SEC would accept a salary cap

[Soonerfan88]

Mizz got lucky on that one. Other than that fumble, he's been playing pretty well tonight. Certainly glad the game is in Norman this year.

[instigator]

There's that sweet D again.

[mdklatt]

Is being especially proud of your golf team like being especially proud of your wrasslin' team? When Arizona fans point out that they have the winning record in the football series, do ASU fans come back with, "Oh yeah? Well we kick your *** at golf."

Cactus Aggy. :stunned:

[silverwheels]

Mizzou has 8 wins written all over them.

[Soonerfan88]

Why did he field that?

[mdklatt]

Mizzou has 8 wins written all over them.

Independence Bowl, bitches!

[SoonerMom2]

Did any of you hear the interview with the PAC 12 Commissioner about realignment and how schools want to be in a stable conference. Sounded like David Boren speaking. Said they will be discussing realignment and growing the conference depending on the way it plays it. He had a big grin on his face about their TV contract and the possibility of growing. Said he has been contacted by a name school and waiting to see what happens. I couldn't tell if he said school or schools.

[silverwheels]

Yeah, he was basically saying that the Pac-12 is fine in its current setup but will expand past 12 if another conference (SEC) does, so it's all hinging on A&M clearing the hurdles.

[picasso]

Dude, have you been on the ASU campus? I was in April '93 and let me tell you there wasn't anything Aggy about all of the tan a$$ I saw walking about.
On a side note, my bro in law played football there in the mid 70's.

Thank you -- I was beginning to think I was dreaming what I heard. I caught the part about stability and laughed.

Hmm, it's actually UA that has all the ag programs. But maybe having a pig barn is not enough to make one aggy? Anyway, that doesn't mean ASU is not also aggy.

Exhibit One: Flashy new uniforms. Is this a one-off Nike promotion or are they pulling an Oregon like Stillwater Tech?

Exhibit Two: Bragging on their non-revenue sports, to wit golf. To be fair, that could have just been an ESPN thing.

Exhibit Three: Arizona State. Some land grant schools, like Nebraska and Wisconsin, try to fool you by not having "State" in the name. But it would be a rare land grant school that is not aggy. Or has Arizona thrown convention to the wind and reversed the names of their universities?

[kevpks]

Big shock. Mizzou can't punch it in from inside the 5. Thank God OU doesn't run a pure spread offense.

Ha! Mizzou just got burned on a trick play.

[silverwheels]

Fun game now that Missouri decided they wanted to play. Let's see how they react to this.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Neither team impresses me much. I hate the solar satans.

[opksooner]

Mizzou is looking very average. Or less than. Very.

[Peach Fuzz]

Refs hose mizzou on that PI

[Peach Fuzz]

Missoo lookin a like a ****

[instigator]

Big shock. Mizzou can't punch it in from inside the 5. Thank God OU doesn't run a pure spread offense.

Ha! Mizzou just got burned on a trick play.

No kidding. That is what Stoops is talking about when he gets defensive when someone calls us a "spread" team. We would have run it there. If it was the last few years, we might not have gotten it, but we damn sure would have tried. :)

PS. These announcers need to STFU about a "black out night". Big effin deal!

[silverwheels]

Black outs are played out. Do something original, please.

[instigator]

Finally a break for Mizzou. Maybe they will finally show something.

[instigator]

Nope. What a **** offense. Franklin looks like he might be ok by the end of the year, but he is really raw now.

Bailed out by ASU.

[instigator]

Well eff me. TD Mizzou. Nice throw.

[Peach Fuzz]

Glad this one will come down to who has it last

[pb4ou]

I wish I would have known about all those injuries before I made my choice on the pick 'em contest.

[Peach Fuzz]

Yeah, kind of shakes it up a bit... feels better when vcash is well earned ;)

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUU smileys!

[instigator]

Wow it was obvious what they were doing on that 4th down.

[Peach Fuzz]

Nice respond MO

[Soonerfan88]

Will Mizz make it in?

[silverwheels]

OT, please.

[sooner59]

We this game is all of a sudden interesting.

[Peach Fuzz]

Thats why you don't send 8 against the spread on goal line.. TD MO

Tied about 2:30 4th

[colleyvillesooner]

This has been a hell of a game.

[JiminyChristmas]

Entertaining, but sloppy game. Not overly impressed with either team.

Best player on the field to me has been the Josey kid for Mizzou. Looks to have a little Finch in him.

[Soonerfan88]

Over 2 minutes, ASU has been moving the ball well tonight so I expect them to at least get a field goal.

BTW, this would be the first loss for the Big 12 this season.


Edit: I was wrong and Mizz might actually pull this out.

[Peach Fuzz]

The refs would call that kicker crap...

[Peach Fuzz]

Holy crap he almost went 93 yards!

[silverwheels]

That's what you get for having ****ty uniforms, ASU.

[sooner59]

ASU just shat down their legs. They were up 30-16 in the 4th.

[Soonerfan88]

Did Mizz just ice his own kicker?

[GreenSooner]

That's what you get for having ****ty uniforms, ASU.

BFBS is always a bad idea.

[JiminyChristmas]

Franklin has a really bad throwing motion and weak arm. His ball takes forever to get to the receivers. The Sharks will be licking their chops when they watch his game film.

[Peach Fuzz]

Nice call coach Pinkel! Ice your own kicker twice!

[mgsooner]

Horrible clock management by Missouri on that last set of downs. WTF are you doing settling for a 48 yd fg? You have to be much more aggressive there. That goes whether he makes this kick or not.

[mgsooner]

Just a clusterf***. Pinkel is like a deer in headlights

[GreenSooner]

This game has been an unbelievable penalty-fest. Really makes you appreciate the lack of penalties from OU last week.

(I guess icing the kicker works! Next time try it on the other team's kicker, Mizzou!)

[mdklatt]

Nice call coach Pinkel! Ice your own kicker twice!

I remember reading about an NFL study that showed that calling a TO before the kick made no statistical difference in FG percentage.

[mgsooner]

Nice to see that ASU made Lil John an honorary captain

[hawaii 5-0]

That was weird. I noticed before the 2nd Ice the kicker made a motion to kick, just a flinch. Can the kicker be called for a motion penalty? Maybe the 2nd one was called to prevent a penalty.

5-0

[Soonerfan88]

Knowing how much Snyder's teams love to take out a QB, I wonder how long Franklin will last in Manhattan?

[mgsooner]

How much did Erickson drink at halftime you think?

[sooner59]

Not as much as me.

[sooner59]

Anyone else find it odd that Pinkel called 2 timeouts before kicking a FG? Icing his own kicker? Does Pinkel have money on ASU or something?

[Peach Fuzz]

I remember reading about an NFL study that showed that calling a TO before the kick made no statistical difference in FG percentage.

This aint the pros where you make 600k to kick a football.

[mgsooner]

Well I had ASU -7.5, once they blew that I was hoping Mizzou would just go ahead and win. Looking like this game is going to end up a total sh*tfest.

[JiminyChristmas]

M I z z o u !!!!!!!

[nativesooner]

*cough cough!*

[Peach Fuzz]

Congrats mizzou... geez

[mgsooner]

Pathetic. Pinkel teams always sh*t their pants when it matters the most.

[nativesooner]

Mizzou's QB kinda suxx! I have friends worried about these guys but our D will eat him up!

[hawaii 5-0]

Nice win Devils.

5-0

[Soonerfan88]

Being surrounded by their idiotic fans (well, what few they have) I am glad ASU won.

[the-rover]

I remember reading about an NFL study that showed that calling a TO before the kick made no statistical difference in FG percentage.

I wonder what percentage of FGs are made when your own team calls the TO?

[Peach Fuzz]

I remember reading about an NFL study that showed that calling a TO before the kick made no statistical difference in FG percentage.

How do they conduct that study? Was the missed field goal going to be made if they didn't call T.O.? Doesn't make sense to me.

[Fraggle145]

That was a nice game. Sloppy as hell, but at least it was exciting. Also if that game is indicative of the fanbases in the Pac-12 then count me in...

[mdklatt]

This aint the pros where you make 600k to kick a football.

If the common wisdom is wrong in the NFL, maybe it's wrong in college football?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Being surrounded by their idiotic fans (well, what few they have) I am glad ASU won.I tend to think that Mizzou fans are among the biggest Sooner-haters around. Plus, I hope their losing might help us get DGB, somehow.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

That was a nice game. Sloppy as hell, but at least it was exciting. Also if that game is indicative of the fanbases in the Pac-12 then count me in...ASU fans are pretty hardcore. I don't particularly like any non-Sooner teams, but Mizzou's loss was good to see. I hope we can pulverize 'em in Norman in 2 weeks.

[sooner59]

For a so-called "sold out" game with tons of standing room only tickets sold, they had a lot of empty seats. But I guess it did go until nearly midnight their time.

[Dan Thompson]

OU's speed is going to kill Mizz. The run game will be good and of course the passing game will be outstanding.

[Penguin]

Has anyone explained why Missouri iced their own kicker?

[picasso]

I tend to think that Mizzou fans are among the biggest Sooner-haters around. Plus, I hope their losing might help us get DGB, somehow.
I know one personally. He's right up there with the oSu dooshrockets.

[cvsooner]

Has anyone explained why Missouri iced their own kicker?

They called the first time out to pull everyone over to the sideline and explain their strategy, which was to try to draw ASU offsides to make the field goal attempt five yards closer. Then they had to use the second time out because they ran the play clock all the way down.

As it was, Ressel barely missed the kick. Five yards closer and he'd have had it.
