Official Game Thread: OU vs Texas A&M (2011)

[tulsaoilerfan]

That play looked like it was gonna be huge

[BB37]

How was that not PI??

[Red]

They don't like calling PI...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

offsides again by aggy..

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Wow...I like the refs are calling this as long as they call it like that both ways

[oumartin]

holy crap that was P.I. big time!!!!!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Pass interference again. WTF!! Call it!

[mightysooner]

Landry squints a lot. I'm just sayin.....

[tulsaoilerfan]

Man the Aggie corners are sure holding

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Jones is doing a great job getting them offsides

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

BB again with a first down

[oumartin]

How long till Bell has a concussion

[soonercastor]

first down machine Bell

[VA Sooner]

Good run by the Belldozer... first down.

[Red]

I love how we just bring Bell in every third down.

[SoonerCLF]

What the ...

[mightysooner]

None of our WR's can catch the damn ball today.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

damn!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Come on Broyles

[stoops the eternal pimp]

something on twitter about jeffersons knee

[IBleedCrimson]

here comes bell!

[jcvsooner]

3rd and 1. Blake Bell time.

[Red]

3rd and short. Bell time?

[oumartin]

Landry sucks. He made Ryan drop that ball

[soonercastor]

Finch running over people...

[BB37]

Can't blame that one on Landry.

[LiveLaughLove]

How long till Bell has a concussion

Almost on that play.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

nice YAC by finch.....the "beef" coming in

[stoops the eternal pimp]

HAHA..Martin

[VA Sooner]

Damn... we took a diamond formation and keep sticking the first down. Love it!

[jcvsooner]

Blake's got a good eye for the soft spot in the line.

[BeaSooner]

drive saved by the bell

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

BB creating more 1st downs than LJ today?

[IBleedCrimson]

jesus christ! the bell package is ridiculously effective

[BB37]

Belldozer getting a workout on this possession.

[mightysooner]

Can we start calling him Bellbow?

[Red]

Get me a Blake Bell jersey. :)

[stoops the eternal pimp]

smart play by jones

[VA Sooner]

O-line getting beat every so often...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

might as well run the ball... cant throw the ball today

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Our offensive line is so NOT national championship caliber!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

WRs running ****ty routes..still

[jcvsooner]

Crap. Bobbled by Finch.

[SoonerCLF]

Dang it

[rm50]

This drive is all Bell

[IBleedCrimson]

game of inches....

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

coulda been a great play

[VA Sooner]

Nice play call, couldn't hold it for the completion.

[LiveLaughLove]

Happy feet, bad pass on an easy TD.

[Red]

Thrown off back foot anyway. Not a perfect ball. But should have been caught.

[oumartin]

12 minute drive for an attempted field goal

[XFollower]

Dear Lord, can we get the real offense in the game now? Amen

[IBleedCrimson]

seriously, can we not dial up a 3rd down screen? we ALL know a blitz is coming....

[stoops the eternal pimp]

corners are just getting physical and our WRs gotta grow some balls.....Get after it..****

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Seriously, that is like the 10th throw from Landry off his back foot or offbalance for no reason.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

just off by a little bit.....another fg coming

[BB37]

FG Good!

[ouflak]

Well this game's going a little differently than I thought.

[cleller]

We've now become a better road team.

[VA Sooner]

Nice kick by Hunnicutt... 13-3, Sooners.

[Keller Sooner]

I'm afraid field goals aren't going to do it.

[tulsaoilerfan]

17 play drive nets 3 points

[mightysooner]

Looks like everybody except Bell and Finch took the day off.

[Seamus]

Anyone hear Stills near the parabolic mic after that third down? "Fu--!!!!"

lol

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Seriously, that is like the 10th throw from Landry off his back foot or offbalance for no reason.

The finch throw almost looked like he was surprised by it..drop back, throw it before your ready

[tulsaoilerfan]

Seriously, that is like the 10th throw from Landry off his back foot or offbalance for no reason. careful Jkm. Lol

[STROMME95]

good kick.

[Keller Sooner]

Hell I'd leave Bell in.

[NASASooner]

Well, FG is okay. One of the stories on A&M is bad conditioning is the cause of their second half collapses. That time eating drive will help if they truly are poorly conditioned.

[rm50]

We can't put this game away if we don't score TOUCHDOWNS

[soonercastor]

LOL at that Trivia question....ignoring xaset like our thread earlier

[Ton Loc]

We are we moving so slow. Are we in the Big 10 or SEC?

[oumartin]

wow, with the wind they kick it into the stands. OU kicks with the wind and it gets two yards into the endzone

[Blue]

18 play drive that ends with 3 points...pitiful...let Bell have his shot...

You are a ****ing idiot.

[lubbocksooner]

There is just to many defenders getting in our backfield. If the O-line does not do a better job bad things are going to happen.

[VA Sooner]

Good tackle by Ibiloye.

[Red]

LOL at that Trivia question....ignoring xaset like our thread earlier

Yep, and that thread was the only reason I knew the answer.

[VA Sooner]

Third down... need a stop here D.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Would be nice to get a stop and score before half

[soonercastor]

with a good play on third down here and we can get the ball back with some good time

[jcvsooner]

wtf?

[BB37]

Well, crap.

[SoonerPride93]

not the swope **** again

[soonercastor]

wow wtf

[Tiptonsooner]

Again, owned on third down.....

[IBleedCrimson]

sigh.... it was bound to happen. now its only 3 pt lead

[LiveLaughLove]

Cuss, cuss, cuss.

[SoonerCLF]

They aren't going to call holding penalties, I guess.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

how many times are we going to force tannehil out of the pocket, and leave the wr wide open? so stupid

[Widescreen]

Zero pressure.

[jcvsooner]

Second Quarters.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

What is Lewis doing manup on Swopes?

[soonercoop1]

And there it is...BVs D is burned for a 79 yard TD....

[Seamus]

Speaking of "FU--!!!!!!!!!"

[Ton Loc]

Good, maybe everyone will wake the f up now.

[VA Sooner]

Broken coverage by Defense..... leave a huge receiver open for the receiver. 50+ yards...

[XFollower]

Maybe we should have whined so much about sucking on the road. Now it's reversed.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

too much time to rely on DBs to stick with people

[Keller Sooner]

I'll be a dirty........

[MamaMia]

Does our coaches know we have tight ends to throw to?and a middle with which to throw?

[Red]

Does our secondary just go to sleep on some downs?

[tulsaoilerfan]

Why do we not blitz here? No ****ing pressure yeah hes gonna find someone open

[CrimsonRez]

wtf was travis doing?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

2nd time, travis lewis can't feel the guy behind him

[marfacowboy]

Where the hell is the QB pressure?

[MamaMia]

They gave him too much time!

[VA Sooner]

Broken foot slowing T-Lew down....

[cleller]

Slow swimming sharks back there.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

well, the offense better start scoring.....

[Tiger6]

Make a play= no limping, lots of talking.... get burned= limp around.

[soonercastor]

Please LJ ****ing show up on this drive

[VA Sooner]

Need a kickoff return for a TD.

[LiveLaughLove]

Good, maybe everyone will wake the f up now.

Doubt it. If they havent woken up since Kansas, Mizzou, Tech and today so far, doubt this will do it.

I think there has to come a time where you say, maybe they aren't who we thought they were for this season.

[Red]

Quick TD. Please?

[VA Sooner]

Need offense to click now... need 7 points here.

[landrun]

Typical OU game. Defense chokes. Offense can't score against worst pass d in the country

[soonercastor]

great field position, enough time on the clock. Please ****ing do something

[tulsaoilerfan]

Our players produce way too many wtf moments

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

desperately need a TD before the half

[BB37]

A quick score here would be nice.

[Boomer.....]

We cannot seem to get pressure on the QB.

[soonercoop1]

Slow swimming sharks back there.

More like guppies...

[MamaMia]

2nd time, travis lewis can't feel the guy behind himnor pivot to do so with that sore toe

[mightysooner]

This is a joke. A&M's secondary is awful.

[Keller Sooner]

Middle of the field is wide open.

[BB37]

Man, how many drops does that make?

[cleller]

Something in the Gatorade today? Sleeping pills?

[VA Sooner]

Good throw... bad try for the catch by Stills.... right to him.

[soonercastor]

FOR FECKS SAKES!

[Boomer.....]

Another drop all passes day.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Wow..another pass right through the hands of Stills

[freshchris05]

****in really

[soonercoop1]

He's not even close...

[oumartin]

Holy crap what a great series...

[LiveLaughLove]

Wow, just brutal. Stills, LJ, all of em.

[VA Sooner]

Our offensive game is off... their adjustments are working. Need to go in at halftime and make our own adjustments.

[SoonerCLF]

10/26 for Landry. Not a good 1st half :hopelessness:

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

lmao.....3 and out.......aggies shouldnt be getting the ball back with a minute to go in the half.....but they do

[cccasooner2]

LJ been eatin' his Wheaties.

[CrimsonRez]

so....where did that #1 team in the nation go?

[tulsaoilerfan]

Great series

[Ton Loc]

LJ must be hurt so Bell should come in...

And I though your political threads were dumb.

[Red]

LJ must be hurt so Bell should come in...

Cool to know you got all 500 of your posts bitching about LJ.

[SoonerMagicinGA]

What a disgusting drive. That was pathetic!

[jcvsooner]

Yeesh.

[soonercoop1]

4 missed tackles on that punt return...

[soonercastor]

now they could be in FG range with a few yards

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

so do we hold them here, or do they score?

[Tiptonsooner]

In what facet of the game do we excel in exactly??

[oumartin]

[bob stoops]dah, Our special teams doesn't need work[bob stoops]

[cleller]

Longest return of the season for A&M, imagine that.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Sigh, this isn't all on Landry, there were 2 that should have been caught that possession. Lazy route by Jaz, drop by Broyles, Bad throw. Still should be 66%.

[marfacowboy]

I think A&M is just playing better defense. They've disrupted our rhythm and our offense is frustrated. We're getting zero QB pressure. Need to adjust at half....

[BrotherMalcolm]

In what facet of the game do we excel in exactly??

Calling fair catch on punts.

[BB37]

Ibeloye down.

[VA Sooner]

Wonder what you're thinking, Sherm... clock moving and going for short plays. Time for an INT/turnover.

[STROMME95]

now we gave them time.

[MamaMia]

We need to change our number

[cleller]

It does not feel like we are actually ahead on the scoreboard, eh?

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Why is venebles rushing only 3 or 4 players every passing play?

[tulsaoilerfan]

**** another injury

[soonercoop1]

And I though your political threads were dumb.

Must be a Dem?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

aggy would be stupid to run the ball the rest of the game. they cant run on us, but everyone knows they can throw it...and ibiloye is down now...

[stoops the eternal pimp]

In what facet of the game do we excel in exactly??

Today, not open field tackling, route running, catching, throwing, blitz pickup...anything else?

[VA Sooner]

Going three deep in our defense... how many left on the shelf?

[Tiger6]

This team does NOT deserve a chance at a national title...period. Whats the odds that Travis Lewis blames the fans for this first half of play? VBook it.

[cccasooner2]

So, with a break in the action, where is TJ?

[CrimsonRez]

is it just me or does it look like they don't even care anymore?

[jcvsooner]

Offense is obviously out of sync. It's not just LJ, but he's clearly not having a great day. Could the heavy use of the Belldozer be messing with his rhythm?

[BB37]

TJ is in.

[Blue]

AnM isnt a second half team. We'll blow em out. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[MamaMia]

Shoulder? :(

[jcvsooner]

Glad he threw that away. Could have run for the 1st down easily.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Sigh, this isn't all on Landry, there were 2 that should have been caught that possession. Lazy route by Jaz, drop by Broyles, Bad throw. Still should be 66%.

This...the problem is that the easy target is always the quarterback

[Widescreen]

It's been a long time that I've seen an Offense where most of the players play like crap all at the same time. And they've pulled this multiple times this year.

[Ton Loc]

Perhaps this will be like last week. We'll come out with a different team in the second half.

[Sooner5030]

note to step: double cover Swope.....throwing to him should not be a surprise.

Also, this is what I hate about a conservative game plan. When forced to throw in known throwing situations your success is diminished.

Ditch the TOP game plan.

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Thanks goodness our defense showed up to play.....for the most part anyway

[IBleedCrimson]

well that least we keep the lead

[tulsaoilerfan]

Very forgettable half

[SoonerCLF]

So, with a break in the action, where is TJ?

Gimpy knee last couple of weeks, probably not gonna play a bunch (if any).

[soonerfaninfla]

offense sure needs to step up

[oumartin]

well, 15 minutes of coaches screaming and degrading players and little to no adjustments.

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Hopefully we will continue to be a second half team while the aggies completely collapse in the second half

[Tiptonsooner]

Today, not open field tackling, route running, catching, throwing, blitz pickup...anything else?

Faulty all the way around, just frustrating as hell.

Can't put it all on LJ guys, if Bell was throwin the rock, they still would be dropping them.

[BB37]

Halftime.

[VA Sooner]

13-10, close game. Too close.

[BrockLanders]

LSU and 'Bama would beat our ***.

[Keller Sooner]

We sure need to get things together at half. We're playing pathetic right now.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Yeah, if the WRs can't get a little physical with these corners, the lsu/alabama dbs will have them crying in a corner

[Tiptonsooner]

LSU and 'Bama would beat our ***.

We play with ranked teams, it's these unranked ****ers that eat our lunch.

[CarolinaSoonerFan]

Had to step away for a couple of minutes, did they give an update on Wort?

[Ton Loc]

Must be a Dem?

Nope. I thought perhaps your anger and outrage (misplaced) led to your silly ignorant posts there. Turns out, you you carry that out through all facets. Good to see you're consistent.

[colhu7]

1)we are just a lazy team

2)i have no words to describe how pathetic the receivers are playing and how lazy they are. Stills needs to stop pouting

3)the linebackers still cant cover the middle of the field

4)LJ has no moxy or game about him. when its going good all is well. when there is adversity...well its a sad site to behold

5)FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY CAN WE SWITCH TO A PRO STYLE OFFENSE.

[Tiptonsooner]

ESPN showing we're behind 13-10....

[OUNASH]

Yeah, if the WRs can't get a little physical with these corners, the lsu/alabama dbs will have them crying in a corner

The way we have played at times this year I dont think we really want to play either LSU or Bama.

[SoonerCLF]

The halftime show is now showing A&M is leading 13-10... These clowns are killing me

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Can you imagine what the Bama or Tiger defensive line would do to our O-line? We wouldnt stand a chance

[freshchris05]

our oline would get their lunch ate if we tried a pro stye offense

[freshchris05]

espn showed tech beat texas 38-35

[Lott's Bandana]

I'm sitting in the stadium wondering why we don't go fast any longer. Tceh and aggy completely kerfuffled these guys running a zillion plays.

[Tiger6]

LSU and 'Bama would beat our ***.

Yah right...LSU and 'Bama's defense dont come close to texas am last ranked pass defense....wait...

[CrimsonRez]

i can haz touchdown?

[cccasooner2]

It's been a long time that I've seen an Offense where most of the players play like crap all at the same time. And they've pulled this multiple times this year.

Um, so this must be the 1st time this year? multiple/long time, what is it?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I'm sitting in the stadium wondering why we don't go fast any longer. Tceh and aggy completely kerfuffled these guys running a zillion plays.
Yeah, we aren't a hurry up team this season at all

[rm50]

Compared to everyone' expectations, OU is underachieving this year! Is it Stoops or memorex

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Watched some of the asterik game earlier today, it looks like they are making the switch to a pro-style offense. They have managed to find an offensive line that can run block. At least against a defense that killed us they looked pretty good.

[IronHorseSooner]

I thought I wouldn't say this, but OUr big 3 (LJ, RB, and T-Lew) are all playing like their heads are up their arses.

[LiveLaughLove]

I'm sitting in the stadium wondering why we don't go fast any longer. Tceh and aggy completely kerfuffled these guys running a zillion plays.

Agree. We have completely dumped the true fast paced offense. Not sure why.

[hawaii 5-0]

Our WRs are getting pushed around by their DBs and Jordy isn't even playing.

I really hoped we don't count on aTm collapsing in the 2nd half like they have before. We should make our own destiny and take it to them. So far, Blake Bell seems to be the Hero, converting the 3rd and shorts.

5-0

[BrockLanders]

Yes. This is a blessing that we wont be playing them in the nat champ game.

[freshchris05]

BOOMER!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

OK, time for some sunshine pumping. Final score - 48-17. Book it!

[possumfat]

I'm ready for a mobile QB, think Landry is good but it seems like when under the least amount of pressure his game suffers tremendously. I want to get back to OKLAHOMA football!

[freshchris05]

SOONER!

[stoopified]

is there no such thing as offensive holding anymore?for about the 4th straight game OU defenders are being blatantly and shamelessly held with no flags.Reminds of a stretch back in 2002(I think) where went about 7 games with opponents not being called for offensive holding.

[rm50]

BOOMER!

SOONER!!!!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Frank Alexander has been too quiet the past few games.....I think its time for him to go off. I predict 4 sacks for him this half.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Watched some of the asterik game earlier today, it looks like they are making the switch to a pro-style offense. They have managed to find an offensive line that can run block. At least against a defense that killed us they looked pretty good.

Are we willing to go through 6 loss season to completely scratch the offense and change schemes?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

is there no such thing as offensive holding anymore?for about the 4th straight game OU defenders are being blatantly and shamelessly held with no flags.Reminds of a stretch back in 2002(I think) where went about 7 games with opponents not being called for offensive holding.

When Tommie Harris played, they refused to call it

[Tiger6]

T. Lewis and Stills just tweeted...said if we dont pick it up then they might lose this game. Pick it up fans, you are really letting this team down.

[Keller Sooner]

Hopefully we start executing the 2nd half. If we don't it's going to get scarey. I just can't believe OU can't slice up their pass defense.

[SoonerMagicinGA]

I dont think it would involve 6 loss seasons. As it is, it seems we are built to win the big 12, nothing wrong with that. I take pride in being a fan of the Sooner team that has owned its conference. But lets be realistic, we are not going to compete with the big boys of the SEC if we cant be a little more physical on both lines. Thats just the facts of the situation.

[JiminyChristmas]

On another note, did anyone see how bad oregon state got screwed on that "targeting" call against stanford just a bit ago? It wiped out a defensive td for oregon state. TERRIBLE call!!!!

So sick of the way that is being handled this year.

[VA Sooner]

What adjustments needs to be made besides offense getting on track again?

[hawaii 5-0]

Frank Alexander has been too quiet the past few games.....I think its time for him to go off. I predict 4 sacks for him this half.


Hell, I'd settle for one sack by anyone. Tannehill his being well protected. At least he's not taking off and running with the ball.

I expect to see some roll out keepers by Tannehill in the 2nd half.

5-0

[soonercastor]

I hate halftime when we're playing like ****

[Keller Sooner]

What adjustments needs to be made besides offense getting on track again?

We need to get more pressure on their qb. More blitzes.

[booomer]

On another note, did anyone see how bad oregon state got screwed on that "targeting" call against stanford just a bit ago? It wiped out a defensive td for oregon state. TERRIBLE call!!!!

It was a terrible call......both players had their heads lowered, so I don't see how one was targeting and the other was not???

[Boomer.....]

T. Lewis and Stills just tweeted...said if we dont pick it up then they might lose this game. Pick it up fans, you are really letting this team down.

I sure hope they aren't ****ing tweeting during halftime!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I dont think it would involve 6 loss seasons. As it is, it seems we are built to win the big 12, nothing wrong with that. I take pride in being a fan of the Sooner team that has owned its conference. But lets be realistic, we are not going to compete with the big boys of the SEC if we cant be a little more physical on both lines. Thats just the facts of the situation.

It changes recruiting on the OL, RB, WR, and TE position....The guys we currently have as upperclassmen would have to scrap everything they've learned up to this point...

[Sooner5030]

the more we get away from ourselves and what we do best the more likely we beat ourselves. The first half had enough snaps to get the O introduced to a more ball control offense. Now lets get back to what we do best.

[Lott's Bandana]

On a windy day like this, I wonder somtimes why our practice fields are all aggy East/West. Seems like it hurts our preparation into the wind and against it.

[VA Sooner]

OU made it past the poor play of the second quarter... time to kick it into gear, Boys.

[BB37]

RB had one reception in the first half. That says a lot.

[booomer]

Offense looks just as bad as they did against TT, our saving grace, at least so far, has been that our defense is playing really good.

[Keller Sooner]

On a windy day like this, I wonder somtimes why our practice fields are all aggy East/West. Seems like it hurts our preparation into the wind and against it.

Very good point.

[oumartin]

no the saving grace is A&M sucks on offense

[LiveLaughLove]

RB had one reception in the first half. That says a lot.

And he looked slow after he caught it. Thought it was TD all the way.

[Boomer.....]

On a windy day like this, I wonder somtimes why our practice fields are all aggy East/West. Seems like it hurts our preparation into the wind and against it.
Not enough space around the stadium to do otherwise.

[IBleedCrimson]

what is wort's status?

[JiminyChristmas]

Power running teams don't have off days when it is windy.

College football is very cyclical. I see it heading back that direction more and more in coming years.

[cccasooner2]

Frank Alexander has been too quiet the past few games.....I think its time for him to go off. I predict 4 sacks for him this half.


:eagerness:

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Good thing is OU is ahead by 3...

[soonercastor]

Please lets start this **** already.

[VA Sooner]

Let's see what half-time adjustments we've made...

[stoops the eternal pimp]

"The team whose defense plays the best will win."...really? genius insight..

[BB37]

OU has the wind in Q3.

[Sooner5030]

note to the D:

here is aTm's 2nd half game plan.

1st run
2nd run
3rd Tannehill pass break out of the pocket and throw to swope for the first down.

[Blue]

Lets go boys! Big second half!
