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

[vtsooner21]

I keep telling myself that A&M is a different team in the second half...They better be! The Sooners are being covered in their patterns and tell me why Ou can't run against them? I was afraid that "the other team" might show up today. Hope that the 2nd half proves me wrong..

Boomer

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

well, lets see if we made the adjustments needed to put these bitches away

[soonercastor]

we really really really need to take advantage of the wind this quarter.

[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.
Not enough space around the stadium to do otherwise.

They practice at the rugby fields for the most part.

[VA Sooner]

Need to step up the play... batted down pass... good D

[jcvsooner]

Here's hoping for a big second half. BOOMER!

[marfacowboy]

Can you imagine what the Bama or Tiger defensive line would do to our O-line? We wouldnt stand a chance
I don't think the OL has played that poorly. I just think A&M has played well on defense. We had a nice ball control drive, and yeah, we gave up a sack, but we don't give up many. We just haven't made adjustments and have lost some fire. Let's see how we come out of the gate in the second.

[VA Sooner]

Hole in the middle... Bird taken out on the right..

[freshchris05]

sooner! come on d

[cccasooner2]

The LB play is sucking big time. :(

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Good thing he dropped that

[soonercastor]

thanks for the drop fella

[jcvsooner]

3rd and 6. Let's get the ball back.

[soonercastor]

3rd down, let's get them off the field

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

he was past the line of scrimmage

[freshchris05]

come o lets go score

[VA Sooner]

Fourth and 6... punting time...

[BB37]

Punt time.

[Sooner5030]

good thing tannehil is an idiot

[soonercastor]

Tanehill scared of running? I'll take it

[stoops the eternal pimp]

nor pivot to do so with that sore toe

If this was the first season he hasn't been able to do it, I wouldnt think it a big deal

[LiveLaughLove]

Tannehills had two easy first downs and instead throws the ball. Thanks Mr Tannehill.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Well.. here we go boys (hopefully).

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Surprised Tannehill doesn't wanna run

[BB37]

Chicken drive.

[NASASooner]

Wasn't Tannehill over the line of scrimmage there when he passed?

[SoonerCLF]

Let's see some fire on O here. Let's go Sooners!

[Lott's Bandana]

OK, dead horse beatdown. I just noticed N/S goalposts where the baseball field used to be so...


nm

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice run Roy.

[VA Sooner]

Good run by Finch for 7 yards

[stoops the eternal pimp]

nice play...good work

[freshchris05]

finch is a beast... bird man

[IBleedCrimson]

BELLDOZER!

[soonercastor]

good run on first, we need this. Up tempo now

[VA Sooner]

2 more yards... time for the Belldozer...

[MyT Oklahoma]

Throw it Blake.

[BB37]

Fourth down.

[soonercastor]

we might wanna throw here thinkling we go for it on 4th...

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

We got too fancy

[SoonerMagicinGA]

But if it becomes obvious that we need the ability to be more physical to compete with the SEC teams, then what is the point in waiting? Its never a good time to change an offensive or defensive style, but if its necessary then its necessary. Look I am no expert and dont claim to be. It just seems very obvious that team with even mediocre talent such as aTm can hang with our lines on both sides of the ball. I just can't help but think that a switch is going to have to happen at some point if we want to win the big one.

[ouflak]

Crud.

[VA Sooner]

damn...

[SoonerCLF]

Broyles deep... ugh

[stoops the eternal pimp]

wow...that **** didn't work...our quarterbacks don't know how to go down progressions

[MyT Oklahoma]

Try harder next time big boy. LOL

[soonercastor]

Broyles wide open

[soonercoop1]

Heupel just have him run for the 1st quit trying to be cute...

[BB37]

Tress punts into the EZ for the first time this year.

[BrotherMalcolm]

The bench has been our best reciever today. WTG Bell, is this your first time playing QB?

[LiveLaughLove]

Yet another OU!....Three and Out!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Dang Broyles was gone for a TD! Why Blake, why???

[KABOOKIE]

The whole team is full of stupid.

[soonercastor]

Why do we throw the ball if we're not gonna go for it on 4th down? bell throwing the ball should come on a "free" down.

[MyT Oklahoma]

I just want to win this one today and worry about next week later.

[MyT Oklahoma]

But yeah.. our lines are not very impressive so far today.

We NEVER get this kind of officiating during the season (where they armbar down the field etc). If we did, I'd be all for us tweaking our defense.

[freshchris05]

they told bell who to throw it to... he looked nowhere else

[Boomer.....]

We got too fancy

I wouldn't say that. I thought the end a round was nice and the throw will catch teams off guard. Just poor judgment by Bell. It's a great wrinkle.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

are we playing at home?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Maybe because we are in a point in this league where you have to be able to score a lot of points to win games...OU currently isn't getting the kids to play man D and be physical much like other teams, so the amount of time it would take the team to change mentalities/schemes/recruiting...It is a long, long process...

[Sooner5030]

stubbornness

the key to underachieving

How the f can we come up with a game plan that restricts our offense?

[Keller Sooner]

Let's go D!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

I just want to win this one today and worry about next week later.

Good point MyT! Lets go Sooners!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice stop D.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Thank God for Ronnell

[VA Sooner]

Hammer takes down the RB for loss of 2

[tulsaoilerfan]

Maybe that play was designed only for a short throw?

[freshchris05]

come on d... offense didnt show up... its on you

[soonercastor]

I wouldn't say that. I thought the end a round was nice and the throw will catch teams off guard. Just poor judgment by Bell. It's a great wrinkle.

The problem is the timing, that was a bad timing to throw there. I thought we threw there because we were gonna go for it anyways on 4th, but that's not what happened. Should have just run there if we had no intention of going for it on 4th

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice pressure D.

[VA Sooner]

Nice pressure from Fleming on the outside blitz... Travis with the throw-down.

[Sooner5030]

D got some pressure there

/good news

[SoonerCLF]

C'mon D!

[BB37]

False start will back 'em up another five.

[Tiger6]

Jesus Christ...Is nobody else tired of seeing Travis Lewis run his damn mouth and taunting other players?

[freshchris05]

bring the pressure

[MyT Oklahoma]

Oh yes.. way to go Aggies.

[VA Sooner]

False start... third and 17 for aggies

[soonercastor]

3rd and 17, please don't do this to me D.

[BrotherMalcolm]

They have us right where they want us- 3rd and long

[MyT Oklahoma]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

nice series

[VA Sooner]

Alexander with the tackle... three and out.

[oumartin]

Tannehill picked a good time to run... lol

[freshchris05]

lets go offense.... pretend like you havent been sucking *** all game

[IBleedCrimson]

nice play frank. chased his *** down

[Navy2007]

Have to exploit the middle of the field with the TE Hanna. He can outrun there LB's and most Corners. These play callings remind of the last put of the 200 season when OU was having trouble. Josh is smart enough to open it up more.

[Keller Sooner]

TD time!!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Also.. yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoonerCLF]

nice bounce on the punt

[oumartin]

Wow, maybe we can get a field goal outta this

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Lewis turned and found Swope that time...can't claim injury, it was technique previously

[BB37]

Holy cow, a 14 yard punt for aTm.

[SoonerMagicinGA]

We need to take advantage of having the wind this quarter. Lets go offense!!

[soonercastor]

Sucks that we'll be against the win in the 4th, need to take advantage of this sheet in this quarter

[BrotherMalcolm]

I sure hope our special teams coach saw what happend to that TAM punt.

Oh wait...

[soonercoop1]

D did good on that one...

[freshchris05]

JAZ HANDS!!!

[jcvsooner]

Jaz Hands!

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

holy crap what a catch

[stoops the eternal pimp]

That's how you beat it..great coverage, great throw, m2m outside

[oumartin]

Okay, Jaz is sick

[BB37]

TD JAZ!!!

[SoonerCLF]

Jaz SWEET 1 handed TD!

[Tiptonsooner]

JAZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyT Oklahoma]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

[IBleedCrimson]

does reynolds practice one hand catches exclusively!?!??! nice!!!!

[VA Sooner]

Poor punt into the wind.... OU on the 31.

Jaz Reynolds with yet another one-handed catch for the TD grab!!!!! AMAZING HIGHLIGHT TD AGAIN!!!!!!

[mightysooner]

Jazz doesn't need two hands.

[Red]

I swear. Jaz Doesn't need two hands.

[cccasooner2]

Only need one hand!

[Rogue]

Jazz!

[tulsaoilerfan]

Great catch by Reynolds!

[soonercastor]

HOLY SHEET!

[BB37]

Another one-hander!!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Reynolds catches better one handed than most do with both hands! Great catch!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

oh and what a ****ty throw

[Tiptonsooner]

See, the receivers can make LJ look however they want...

[BrotherMalcolm]

JAZ!!!! The one handed bandit!

[NASASooner]

Jaz is the one-armed man from the Fugitive.

[VA Sooner]

Who needs two hands to catch.... impressive, Jaz!!!!!

[Tiptonsooner]

oh and what a ****ty throw

JINX, you owe me a coke......

[SoonerMagicinGA]

I think thats the momentum boost we needed. We are gonna run away with it from here on out.

[Keller Sooner]

Yeah baby.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Okay Sooners.. let's put the hammer down and finish this game.

[Seamus]

oh and what a ****ty throw

LOL ...

[cccasooner2]

JAZ HAND!!!

Fixed. :D

[freshchris05]

See, the receivers can make LJ look however they want...


true... landry gets the credit but most of the deep balls thrown are the receivers making him look good cuz his deep ball is pretty weak...

[marfacowboy]

ye of little faith

[VA Sooner]

OK Defense.... short break, play with a vengeance, Sharks!

[hs4725]

The Jazz man!

[JiminyChristmas]

Only need one hand!

Like most of you....bazinga!

[soonercastor]

Need a three possessions lead by the 4th, WIND WIND WIND

[MyT Oklahoma]

Defense! Defense! Defense!

[Tiptonsooner]

:hopelessness:


true... landry gets the credit but most of the deep balls thrown are the receivers making him look good cuz his deep ball is pretty weak...

[Keller Sooner]

Bring the D.

[cccasooner2]

LOL. Loved that TV shot of Jaz.

[Boomer.....]

oh and what a ****ty throw

Even a broken clock is right two times a day.

;)

[Lott's Bandana]

Wort is standing on the sidelines holding his lid. Don't know if TV said anything.

[soonercastor]

we can't let them score any kinds of points here

[Blue]

Cmon Oregon State!!

[VA Sooner]

Great coverage by Hurst on Fuller.

[MyT Oklahoma]

[cccasooner2]

Hammer!!!

[SoonerCLF]

Hammer!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Yeah baby!

[VA Sooner]

Tipped pass by King, INT by the HAMMER!!!!!

[IBleedCrimson]

frank is ridiculously good at batting down those flat passes

[Boomer.....]

Get those hands up boys! Good things will happen.

[VA Sooner]

Time to pull away, Sooners! Good run by Finch for 7 yards.

[JiminyChristmas]

It was rj wash that tipped it.

[LiveLaughLove]

Finch is the one player that every week, looks like he is really trying.

[Red]

Another TD please?! :)

[soonercastor]

Finch spins for a first down

[stoops the eternal pimp]

frank is ridiculously good at batting down those flat passes

that was rj

[jcvsooner]

Good news: 1st down. Bad news: Red Zone.

Millard for 8.

[SoonerMagicinGA]

I loves me some Finch!

[IBleedCrimson]

news flash: millard is one hell of a powerful runner

[rm50]

Red zone, can we do it?

[MyT Oklahoma]

TOUCHDOWN.. OKLAHOMA!

[soonercastor]

first and goal, here comes bell

[freshchris05]

[Tiptonsooner]

Finch is the one player that every week, looks like he is really trying.

Millard with the catch and yards after... nice pump fake by Jones. Finch TD!!!!!

[jcvsooner]

TOUCHDOWN! ROY FINCH!

[Red]

FINCH!

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Took them by surprise on that run

[mightysooner]

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIINCH!!!!!!

[SoonerCLF]

TD Finch!

[oumartin]

Wow, nice looking little drive thar

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Finch is the one player that every week, looks like he is really trying.
I absolutely agree. He works so hard

[VA Sooner]

What red-zone issues?

[NASASooner]

Finch running smart and tough on this drive.

[Red]

Give me another stop and a TD. Let's put this out of reach ASAP.

[SoonerMagicinGA]

TD OU!! Yea baby, let the aggie meltdown begin!

[SoonerCLF]

Stop the aggies here, score again... and this game will be over!

[Boomer.....]

A lot more hurry up this half.

[rm50]

Red zone, can we do it?

Yes we can!!

[STROMME95]

that will work.

[soonercastor]

Yes we can!!

Barry, is that you?

[mightysooner]

I'm impressed with how Finchster is handling the workload.

[VA Sooner]

OK defense... get us the ball back. Need to build up a lead so I can sit back, relax and drink more beer.

[Keller Sooner]

OK defense... get us the ball back. Need to build up a lead so I can sit back, relax and drink more beer.

Amen bro!

[Navy2007]

I guess this is going to be a conservative type of game, play defense, get TO's and score off those. Believe it or not that is SEC football...

[Blue]

poor SoonerCoop. Nothing to bitch about in almost 10 minutes!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Amen bro!
This

[VA Sooner]

Good view of our hurry-up offense... impressive.

[SoonerCLF]

drink more beer.

Me too

[VA Sooner]

Need a third down stop here...

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Lewis. Sigh.

[Hublah]

Maybe we could just skip the first half and only play 2nd halfs? :)

[BB37]

No Gain!!!!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

poor SoonerCoop. Nothing to bitch about in almost 10 minutes!

He is waiting for him to make a mistake where he can say I told you so

[LiveLaughLove]

Good view of our hurry-up offense... impressive.

Yeah, almost makes you wonder why we dont hardly run it any more, huh?

[soonercastor]

3rd and short. LET'S GO D!

[SoonerMagicinGA]

Great play Colvin!

[jcvsooner]

Nice stop on 3rd and short. Good job, defense!

[MyT Oklahoma]

D! D! D!

[VA Sooner]

Stopped Fuller on the line-of-scrimmage. Fooled no one... three defenders there. Defense swarming.

[Keller Sooner]

Way to go D.

[NASASooner]

Good Lord, what an awful play call by A&M

[LiveLaughLove]

Good D stand there.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Wow, D is on fire

[cccasooner2]

Slick is the man!!!!!

[soonercastor]

Ohhhhhhhhhh Yeah!

[SoonerCLF]

Here we go Sooners!

[Blue]

I'd like to see us go for more blocked punts. Its not like our return game is setting the world on fire.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Red Zone City.. here we come.

[rm50]

1st & 70

[LiveLaughLove]

Thank you camera guy.

[freshchris05]

deep ball

[Lott's Bandana]

I must say, this 2:30 **** is quite nice.

[SoonerCLF]

So close!

[Hublah]

D...is looking tough again!

[soonercastor]

damn....

[oumartin]

okay, that was on Landry,, shoulda put a tad bit of air under that one

[VA Sooner]

Jaz open but his arms are only 10 feet long... misses what could have been another one-handed grab. So close...

[cccasooner2]

LJ has got to lighten up on the Wheaties.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Good move LJ.

[BB37]

Landry runs for 9, Belldozer time again...

[SoonerCLF]

First down Landry! Draggin' the sled

D'oh, marked him short

[soonercastor]

Jones trying to let us know that we don't need Blake :D

[stoops the eternal pimp]

There ya go!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Belldozer alert.

[oumartin]

Blake is a stud

[rm50]

Barry, is that you?

No Barry here

[NASASooner]

Bell is a LOAD.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Bell gets a game ball.

[VA Sooner]

Belldozer with the easy first down... the Giant pushes and gets 8 yards and his 6th first down.

[VA Sooner]

Nice catch by Broyles.... uh-oh... knee.....

[jcvsooner]

Oh no. Don't be hurt, Mr. Broyles.

[SoonerCLF]

Nooooooooooo!!

[LiveLaughLove]

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[freshchris05]
