Official Game Thread: OU vs UTEP

[Ton Loc]

Its definitely frustrating to endure a long off season with high hopes/expectations, then come out and **** our pants on the first few series. I feel confident we will wear on them as the game progresses.

Same story every year though. We should be used it.

Ya know, I've been watching games the last 3 days wondering which team was going to come out and brown its pants. Was hoping it wouldn't be us though.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

man...we can do nothing. UTEP looks like gods against us. our ofeense looks HORRIBLE!!!!

[thunderfan]

Landry's Heisman campaign taking an early hit

[VA Sooner]

Come on team... get it together.

[PhiDeltBeers]

TD!

[85sooners]

Stills!!

[afs]

finally i can breathe

[instigator]

There we go!!!

[salth2o]

Give him six!!!

[SCSoonerfan]

Woot

[soonergirlNeugene]

Thank you Jesus!

[PalmettoSooner]

great catch Kenny!!!

[Rogue]

That's more like it.

[FirstandGoal]

Stills!

[MojoRisen]

Waite

[VA Sooner]

Kenny Stills!!!! Damn Jones.... I thought it was happy feet all the way and then you throw the beautiful bomb.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

man...we can do nothing. UTEP looks like gods against us. our ofeense looks HORRIBLE!!!!


I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID ABOVE

[stoops the eternal pimp]

lol

[StoopTroup]

I think I called "LANDRY TO STILLS".

Thank you very much.

:D

[soonercastor]

BOOM. wow he had all day.

[PLaw]

LJ to KS !!! TD!

[jcvsooner]

Jones had All. Day. Beautiful protection, good patience, and a touchdown.

[Ton Loc]

Lol -Landry's terrible. :tongue:

[85sooners]

Landry's Heisman campaign taking an early hit

Really

[fadada1]

i'd say that might help burst that stinkin' stadium's bubble.

[thunderfan]

I thought that ball was going out of bounds.. I thought he was throwing it away

[thunderfan]

how many yards was that ball in the air?

[VA Sooner]

All right Defense. Get your mojo back.... let's get this momentum going.

[Rogue]

Landry has a big arm.

[PalmettoSooner]

it hasn't been pretty so far...but i'll take it....things will improve

[landrun]

Landry has an arm... that's for sure!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

hate that place

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

now we can settle down and start kickin some ***.

[jcvsooner]

Boy that was a nice throw. Hopefully that will get us rolling.

[football1990]

Now let's see if we can do that a few more times!!!

[Rogue]

how many yards was that ball in the air?
I was thinking about 40-45 yards....pretty much forever.

[PhiDeltBeers]

All that's happened and we're up by 7.

[VA Sooner]

O'Hara is our kickoff kicer?

[tulsaoilerfan]

Wow Landry made a play! Good for him

[Rogue]

El Paso is the pits.

hate that place

[PhiDeltBeers]

Alright I want to see some broken necks!

[VA Sooner]

Oh my god.... those Duck uniforms are atrocious! I'm blind now.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Actually tied lol

[marfacowboy]

Bobby Jack's unit needs some work.

[StoopTroup]

I thought that ball was going out of bounds.. I thought he was throwing it away

You seem to think a lot of stuff.

[soonercastor]

looked like a catch to me lol

Nope OOB

[stoops the eternal pimp]

we are facing the 2011 114th ranked run defense..would like to see OU move the ball a little that way..

[soonergirlNeugene]

Oh I think it will take more than that to dampen that atmosphere. Strap in b/c UTEP is going to fight us every step of the way.

[jcvsooner]

All that's happened and we're up by 7.

7-7 ... but we'll be up by 7 after the next drive :)

[salth2o]

What the eff was that beep?

[SoonerinSouthlake]

jitters out of the way...now let's see!

[thunderfan]

You seem to think a lot of stuff.




like your a moron

[VA Sooner]

Good throw by their QB and a good catch. Damn.

[StoopTroup]

Wow Landry made a play! Good for him

It is amazing huh.

Surprised he even started being a 5th year Senior and all....

[PhiDeltBeers]

I bet. $3 mill on Utep covering. So far so good.

[PLaw]

Nice adjustment by Mikey. Stop the run.

[football1990]

Defense still too weak!! Have not seen a real hit by OU!!

[StoopTroup]

like your a moron

Your momma so fat the only thing that stopped her diet is she couldn't get through the door at Jenny Craig.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Nice coverage

[thunderfan]

did we just cover an underneath route?

[VA Sooner]

Colvin just wiped the rust off.... good coverage.

[PhiDeltBeers]

like your a moron

It's you're and Moran. :)

[VA Sooner]

Good pressure by the D-line!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Their quarterback sucks..baby arm

[PLaw]

MIKEY is BACK!!

GAME OVER>

[SoonerinSouthlake]

ok....tiny bit more momentum
shift

[PhiDeltBeers]

Aight, need 7 more.

[Rogue]

I need OU and Oregon to cover and complete my 4 team parlay.

[VA Sooner]

Still no Justin Brown action.

[salth2o]

Your momma.

Already getting started w/ the yo momma jokes? :)

[thunderfan]

It's you're and Moran. :)

I typed it that way so he could understand it

[landrun]

Great Return by Brown!!!!

[85sooners]

**** yeah!!

[jcvsooner]

Nice return there.

[soonerboomer93]

lets see how the offense does

[FirstandGoal]

Woo HOO, BROWN!

[salth2o]

I see Brown getting a few TD's on returns this year!

[VA Sooner]

Holy crap! Everything they said about Brown was true. Damn good return.

[PLaw]

JB is here to play!

BOOM

[Rogue]

Hellyeah Brown!

[MamaMia]

Thank you Brown!

[soonerboomer93]

I can feel the tears of Penn state fans during that punt return

[football1990]

I can live with poor plays... Just wish we would play with reckless abandon... And knock the sh-t out of the other team!!

[StoopTroup]

So good to see Dominic in the backfield.

[85sooners]

Millard!!

[FirstandGoal]

Yes! More Millard!

[landrun]

Offense needs a drive here.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

see what happens when you run north and south on the return? no clips and good positive gain.

[VA Sooner]

Millard is a beast. Would hate to line up against him and tackle him.

[salth2o]

Ugh...

[jcvsooner]

LJ is getting a rhythm. That one may be coming back, but it was another great throw.

[85sooners]

Chop block

[marfacowboy]

Jesus H. Christ

[stoops the eternal pimp]

like that formation..nice pa..

[soonerboomer93]

****, they finally start throwing and...

[thunderfan]

bench Whale ee

[VA Sooner]

Damn.... chop block negated the long ball to Stills.

[FirstandGoal]

Crap! Well, it was still a spectacular play

[stoops the eternal pimp]

that's a little bs

[Rogue]

Chop block, Whaley, nullifies a big play. Yeah, good call it was a combo high/low block.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

hard to call him engaged

[85sooners]

Clay changed #?

[SoonerinSouthlake]

so Dom is just supposed to get out of
the way?

[VA Sooner]

Not sure that Clay is our answer at tailback.

[football1990]

Penalty... Hmm

[85sooners]

Catch it

[stoops the eternal pimp]

not good

[soonergirlNeugene]

that looked like a good pass from Landry

[tulsaoilerfan]

Crappy call whaley hit him first ; shead didnt really do anything

[Rogue]

Looked catchable.

[landrun]

We get a break.

[VA Sooner]

Third and long.... and just out of reach of Metoyer.

[GhostOfBud]

hey.. make up call should have been 15 yrds, ref

[FirstandGoal]

Mulligan

[salth2o]

Was that the Revolting Blob in the stands?

[MojoRisen]

is that the fat P**** from Tx Tech... No right...

[landrun]

Our Oline is sucking

[marfacowboy]

We look so out of sorts.

[85sooners]

Where are all our badass recievers

[tulsaoilerfan]

RT just totally whiffed his block

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Crappy call whaley hit him first ; shead didnt really do anything

that's what i thought..

[Rogue]

Good evasion and throwaway. Could've been several bad outcomes there. DO NO HARM

[Jack T.]

What's our completion percentage?

[FirstandGoal]

FLAG

[PhiDeltBeers]

We get it back?

[jcvsooner]

I hope it's roughing :)

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Where are all our badass recievers

cant blame anything on WRs so far...

[85sooners]

They are inches from every punt

[salth2o]

Punt team needs to block someone.

[SoonerinSouthlake]

roughing!

[VA Sooner]

Couldn't cover the blitzer... punt. And now a rouging the kicker. But not enough yards for the first down. Damn.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Nope

[stoops the eternal pimp]

What's our completion percentage?

54

[football1990]

Defense... Please hit someone!!

[85sooners]

Where are they then

[VA Sooner]

Come on D-line.... stop the run.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

how are they supposed to do something when the ball isn't delivered to them?

[VA Sooner]

7-7 in the first quarter.

[StoopTroup]

Where are all our badass recievers

We don't have any IMO but folks can keep blaming Landry if they want. I've been wondering why Jay Norvell didn't get his walking papers two years ago.

[PhiDeltBeers]

****ty first 25%.

[Rogue]

Sloppy start, with a few moments that are like foreshadowing of the blowout to come tonight, and the potential for this year.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

well, that drive didn't turn out the way i thought it was ging to. i think we've had just as many punts as first downs.

[StoopTroup]

cant blame anything on WRs so far...

And we can't praise any of them either.

STEP.....Jay needs to go my brother. I truly hope he can get them turned around this year but I really have my doubts.

[PhiDeltBeers]

tOSU started slow too. Hopefully they chew some *** and we start rolling.

[FirstandGoal]

The first 2 offensive series sucked, but then we showed shades of greatness. Special teams has me a bit concerned, but I love what Brown has done so far.
Defense will start to rock it once they clear away the cobwebs

[stoops the eternal pimp]

101 yards of O...68 on 1 play...2.6 YPCarry...5.3 for UTEP

[Rogue]

We don't have any IMO but folks can keep blaming Landry if they want. I've been wondering why Jay Norvell didn't get his walking papers two years ago.

Seriously? That Broyles kid was pretty good and for several years our WR's have been some talented freaks.
What am I missing? Sure there are some frustrating dropped balls, but these guys are studs.

[MojoRisen]

NIght game on the road... we suck on the road... No emotion - we came out flat... We'll adjust and learn hopefully.. they read heuples scripted 15

[VA Sooner]

Need to pu tthis away in the second quarter.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

And we can't praise any of them either.

STEP.....Jay needs to go my brother. I truly hope he can get them turned around this year but I really have my doubts.

I don't think it's jay..It's the same thing with Bob..It's the same thing with Brent...It's the same thing with any of them..that's surface level fandom..blame a coach or blame a ref

[football1990]

Receivers are going to have to make spectacular catches... To get more confidence playing catch with Landry

[thunderfan]

so how many yards does utep have since the first drive?

[FirstandGoal]

Seriously, is there some kind of unwritten rule that fans who wear orange are Uglier than normal people? Its kinda freaky scary

[StoopTroup]

Seriously? That Broyles kid was pretty good and for several years our WR's have been some talented freaks.
What am I missing? Sure there are some frustrating dropped balls, but these guys are studs.

Yeah. I'll never bag on Ryan. What he and Landry had was a magical connection IMO. You can't Coach that. They were incredible. The rest just seem not to get it. It's like they are always just one step from greatness.

[SoonerinSouthlake]

another good d series

[PLaw]

PUNT

[VA Sooner]

Ndulae is looking good.

[jcvsooner]

Very solid third down defense since that opening series.

[MamaMia]

We should be up 2 TDs by now...at least.

[StoopTroup]

so how many yards does utep have since the first drive?


http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=322452638

[marfacowboy]

I think we all knew the OL went from a strength to an unknown after losing two key guys. It all starts there.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

so how many yards does utep have since the first drive?

12 I believe

[soonerfan69]

What's the deal with the person whistling between every play in every OU game?

[SoonerinSouthlake]

D pitching shutout

[soonergirlNeugene]

Defense has done a good job of adjusting. Pretty happy with their effort so far.

[afs]

is that Mexico?

[PhiDeltBeers]

Not a great toss there.

[thunderfan]

not a fan of the 2 yard passes

[VA Sooner]

Good run by Whaley... waited for his blocks.

[StoopTroup]

is that Mexico?

The tunnel under there will get you there....lol

[FirstandGoal]

UG!

[PhiDeltBeers]

Catch the ball!

[SCSoonerfan]

Come on Whaley you gotta catch that

[salth2o]

Nice job by Landry...gotta catch those.

[Rogue]

Whaley has hands like skillets tonighht.

[VA Sooner]

Whaley drops it... a nearly sure 6 points.

[jcvsooner]

Jones looking good dodging traffic. That should have been caught. Another three and out.

[SoonerinSouthlake]

Landry running for his life

[stoops the eternal pimp]

that was a great throw...Whaley skillet hands..not a WR..I guess that one is on Cale!...lol

[marfacowboy]

Whaley has to make that play. Damn

[MojoRisen]

Landrey looked good there! Got to catch holmes

[PLaw]

Man, who put the butter on the fingers! how many drops have we had

[PhiDeltBeers]

Lovely.

[salth2o]

Our punt team is teh succ.

[soonerfan69]

What's the deal with the person whistling between every play in every OU game?

Bueller?

[VA Sooner]

Special teams...

[football1990]

I think Whaley looks a bit timid running... Landry actually can move this year!!

[FirstandGoal]

Okay, so special teams are still sucking, but at least Landry seems to be doing better with his footwork this season.

[landrun]

special teams coach needs to be fired. ... oh wait... :(

[VA Sooner]

Two penalties... damn.

[SoonerDood]

why do we even pay Norvell? this team couldn't catch swine flu on a mexican pig farm

[PhiDeltBeers]

Wow, we look like a middle school team right now.

[marfacowboy]

These guys are so poorly prepared it's unreal.

[Rogue]

Merv is hard on the special teams coverage...bad discipline he says.

[MamaMia]

NIght game on the road... we suck on the road... No emotion - we came out flat... We'll adjust and learn hopefully.. they read heuples scripted 15Goes the coach, so goes the team.

It doesn't help when the team is reminded by Stoops that he, himself doesn't like to play late and that playing away games is a big disadvantage.

Younger Stoops use to say..."It doesn't matter what time or where we play. We'll play them anytime they want, out there in the parking lot."

[tulsaoilerfan]

Outside of landry we look like ****

[StoopTroup]

Miners #11....that looked kind of like a block in the back....

Guess it's a good no call by the refs....

[stoops the eternal pimp]

undisciplined plays here and there on D...hmm.

[SoonerinSouthlake]

I think Whaley looks a bit timid running... Landry actually can move this year!!
Landry has no choice

[tulsaoilerfan]

Both lines getting pushed around

[Rogue]

OK I don't need a Mazda gamebreak for a game that has been over for hours.

[PLaw]

average O-line / average D-line.

When will we ever learn

[VA Sooner]

Need some help on the D-line.

[85sooners]

Step up d!!

[landrun]

Gotta give credit... good run there

[marfacowboy]

Based on what I'm seeing now, we could lose four or five games this year.

[soonercastor]

lol

[jcvsooner]

Wow, that was a great effort for that first down. Ugh.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Hurst ducks his head!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

No effort...

[salth2o]

yep

[Rogue]

Both lines getting pushed around

I can't figure this out. The D line seems able to get it together.
That RB just went airborne and flew through a tackle.

[football1990]

UTEP wants it more than OU!!

[StoopTroup]

Goes the coach, so goes the team.

It doesn't help when the team is reminded by Stoops that he, himself doesn't like to play late and that playing away games is a big disadvantage.

Younger Stoops use to say..."It doesn't matter what time or where we play. We'll play them anytime they want, out there in the parking lot."

I really thought he said that last year. I guess he's really aged since then.

[FirstandGoal]

Jefferson catch that ball!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Gotta catch that TJ

[VA Sooner]

Jefferson should have had that.... pick 6

[Rogue]

TJEFF just dropped a gift.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Based on what I'm seeing now, we could lose four or five games this year.

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but yeah.

[soonerboomer93]

hopefully the d can stop again

[prrriiide]

UTEP wants it more than OU at this point. Blind man can see it with a cane.

[VA Sooner]

Another defensive timeout. Need to get Mike Stoops out there and fired up.

[Rogue]

Folks, this is just some first game/road game rust. No need to panic yet. The 3rd quarter is going to look like a well-oiled machine that just got tuned up. Just in case, I might start on some whisky.

[85sooners]

undisciplined plays here and there on D...hmm.
Havent seen any 70 yard tds thrown on them yet though

[cleller]

Have you ever seen a team drop more balls (offense and defense) than us?

[tulsaoilerfan]

Both lines getting pushed around

I can't figure this out. The D line seems able to get it together.
That RB just went airborne and flew through a tackle. UTEP is probably getting 5 ypc

[goingoneight]

OU could take the wind right out of their sails if they just lined up and played with a little more pride. Sad day to open a season... AGAIN.

Just please win and get out of here, please!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

i don't know about you guys, but i don't see any passion at all. we look like "ho-Hum. it's UTEP" are we the only top 5 team to be struggling this bad against an unranked opponant? ALA beat Meatchicken by like 40 or some ****...

[StoopTroup]

why do we even pay Norvell?

Yep

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Once again, Sooners can't run and can't stop the run. Trouble ahead.

[football1990]

Yet another frustrating start to OU football season...
Hate to think we are overrated!! Again

[salth2o]

Folks, this is just some first game/road game rust. No need to panic yet. The 3rd quarter is going to look like a well-oiled machine that just got tuned up. Just in case, I might start on some whisky.

I think I will join you!

[Dixon]

Yikes--Inexplicable that we could be this poorly prepared, unless we just are not very good. Hopefully we get our act together in the second half.

Depressing way to start. Feels like the same team we saw struggle last year

[soonergirlNeugene]

Folks, this is just some first game/road game rust. No need to panic yet. The 3rd quarter is going to look like a well-oiled machine that just got tuned up. Just in case, I might start on some whisky.

QFE

[MamaMia]

We need a mind blowing, momentum changing play...NOW.

[StoopTroup]

OU could take the wind right out of their sails if they just lined up and played with a little m

Was thinking the same thing. I wonder what having two guys like Mike screaming at them right now might have done?

[FaninAma]

No emotion is on the coaching staff. This looks a lot like the TT game last year.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Do you guys blame Cale for Whaley dropping those 2 on the last drive?

[FirstandGoal]

How many tackles so far for Washington?

[SoonerinSouthlake]

ugly cheerleaders @ utep

[redkid]

come on defense

[StoopTroup]

I might start on some whisky.

CHEERS!

[PhiDeltBeers]

Hire Venables!

[SCSoonerfan]

Gabe Lynn screwing up again

[jcvsooner]

Pass interference bails them out on third down. Ugh.

Let's go DEFENSE!

[salth2o]

Unnecessary.

[VA Sooner]

Gabe Lynn gets the PI

[soonervegas]

Peace has cost Stoops his strength. Victory has defeated him.

[Austin1]

i am going to say something positive.........Landry looks more mobile, and I like Justin Brown.....that is all I got. Back to drinking
