Official Game Thread: OU vs UTEP

[VA Sooner]

Need a turnover right here... end this nonsense.

[soonerfan69]

Good thing they didn't open up against a good team

[thunderfan]

two int's dropped

[soonergirlNeugene]

Sooner or later we have to come down with one of those

[SCSoonerfan]

Tom Wort you should have had that damn

[redkid]

penalties are killing ou

[FirstandGoal]

Again, no interception. D has gotta get their act together and take one of these gifts

[SoonerinSouthlake]

somebody has GOT TO MAKE A PLAY

[VA Sooner]

That was right into Wort's hands... third attempt for an INT by the UTEP QB

[MamaMia]

What part of 'TRY FOR THE BALL" to prevent a penalty do they not understand? :(

[StoopTroup]

NO GOOD!

[ccmike9]

Apparently we are not allowed to catch the football today

[marfacowboy]

Lucky, Hurst didn't even turn around.

[Rogue]

Our DBs are a bright spot so far.
Run defense...not so much.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Norvell must be working with the D in catching the ball...

[jcvsooner]

Defense still hasn't given up a score this season :)

[85sooners]

Idiot thinks he made it

[SCSoonerfan]

Who the hell are these announcers that was clearly wide

[PhiDeltBeers]

Sooner manic with those missed fgs.

[marfacowboy]

These announcers are pitiful.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Lmao they need a kicker worse than we do

[salth2o]

Hey dip **** announcer...he ****ing missed it.

[football1990]

Any questions if OU is flat... Just answered by Wort dropping that INT!!

[soonergirlNeugene]

Did the announcers just say that went through?

[SoonerinSouthlake]

was the good?...looked
like everyone said no good

[FirstandGoal]

Lol at the dumas announcers

[bluedogok]

NO GOOD!

The P-B-P guy evidently didn't get that memo.....

[Sooner91ATL]

ugly cheerleaders @ utep

i dont know, curvy and hispanic and young looks much better than what i am seeing on the field.

[thunderfan]

he missed the field goal?

[soonergirlNeugene]

lol for a minute there I thought I was already looking at the game through the wrong end of the bottle....guess it was just the announcer

[redkid]

is the announcer even watching the game''refs wave the fg off and he's saying fuel up by 3,,wanker

[salth2o]

lol for a minute there I thought I was already looking at the game through the wrong end of the bottle

Not sure yet....keep drinking.

[StoopTroup]

Announcers.....ROTF

Is this the Sons of the oregon Crew?

[okiewaker]

Beautiful Mountains

[VA Sooner]

Missed field goal. Their kicker sucks.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

not...even...close

[Judge Smails]

Their FG kicker is our MVP.

[salth2o]

Never had a chance dip ****. dont try to cover for yourself.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Wow. Just wow.

[landrun]

Its going to be a loooooong season for Landry behind that OLine

[stoops the eternal pimp]

that was unnecessary...get rid of it.

[VA Sooner]

Jones sacked.

[MojoRisen]

Time to put it in their ***- no more script

[FirstandGoal]

nice!

[VA Sooner]

What was that... 4 yard dump off.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

nice throw and catch there.

[redkid]

why does stills always falls down after a catch

[VA Sooner]

Stills with the first down!

[StoopTroup]

Looks like Price had to use his playbook to wipe.

Times are hard in El Paso.

[football1990]

Flat on defense, special teams, offense & announcers!!

[FirstandGoal]

okay, lets go

[jkjsooner]

Who the hell are these announcers that was clearly wide

What do you expect? It's Fox Sports, the lowest production quality and worst announcers around.

I think I need to make a new drinking game where I take a drink every time they show a crowd shot of the most idiotic fans in the stadium. Usually they find every face painted idiot at the game but there hasn't been as much of that today.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Hold on to the ball Brown.

[VA Sooner]

Justin Brown's first catch as a Sooner.

[StoopTroup]

why does stills always falls down after a catch

Falling up is hard?

[soonerfan69]

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

[85sooners]

Millard is money

[FirstandGoal]

*takes another moment to fangirl Millard*

[PhiDeltBeers]

Ok, on the move. Line still sucks though.

[jcvsooner]

Millard makes things happen. Then LJ to KS in the hurry up again. First down to the UTEP 31 ...

[salth2o]

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

They are called referees.

[VA Sooner]

Our offense is finally kicking in.

[SCSoonerfan]

COme on Oline protect

[stoops the eternal pimp]

that one is on Jones again...get rid of the ball

[PhiDeltBeers]

Like I said, line sucks.

[redkid]

where's finch?

[football1990]

Getting a rhythm offensively...
Aaa nope!!

[MamaMia]

This is insane. Sacked AGAIN? WTF?

[VA Sooner]

Sacked again. Our o-line is in trouble.

[soonerfan69]

No the person whistling

[stoops the eternal pimp]

more than enough time...when you see it collapse...do something

[PhiDeltBeers]

Stalling out.

[jkjsooner]

That sack was all Jones. You can't hold the ball that long.

[PLaw]

Texas D-line will eat our lunch if there isn't marked improvement.

[marfacowboy]

we look desperate and disorganized

[Rogue]

LJ gets spoiled by good protection sometimes

[soonercastor]

ugh, this drive was looking good.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Go for it!

[MamaMia]

..and here I was worried about our DEFENSIVE line. Little did I know I should be worrying about BOTH!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

wow Irwin...way to not do anything except run in front

[VA Sooner]

Doomed play.

[FirstandGoal]

oh boy

[soonergirlNeugene]

block this time!

[Zing]

We look nervous. I don't mean to be dismissive here, but come on! This is UTEP! Settle down and bring the firepower online.

[SCSoonerfan]

Special teams are atrocious

[FirstandGoal]

****

[jcvsooner]

Special teams is now officially a disaster.

[salth2o]

Kick teams are sucking teh ***

[marfacowboy]

worst special teams I've ever seen at OU

[85sooners]

**** the special teams

[VA Sooner]

Another blocked kick. We suck.

[redkid]

dang

[PhiDeltBeers]

This is the worst ****ing performance I could've imagined.

[Rogue]

Kicker and Punter (3) have tackles. WTF

[MamaMia]

Are you kidding me?

[PLaw]

WOW, just Wow.

Stoops should take about $500K of his salary and hire a special teams coach.

[soonercastor]

:very_drunk:

[MojoRisen]

OK Good for UTEP... If we don't boot stoemp them in the 2nd half... Physically - time to recruit

[VA Sooner]

Hunnicutt shanked that one.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

are you ****in kidding me? two blocked kicks? in one half? did we practice before this game? anyone?

[KABOOKIE]

If I were Joe, I'd take a percentage from Stoops paycheck and hire a special teams coach.

[salth2o]

need a turnover now.

[tulsaoilerfan]

**** poor kick

[football1990]

WTF are we trying a field goal!?!?!
The ball hit O-Line in the *** !!

[bluedogok]

That wasn't even a block, he kicked it into the lineman's rear.

[MamaMia]

We cant block. We cant catch defend. We cant kick.

[okiewaker]

Getting "out special teamed" sucks

[Sooner91ATL]

more chunky chicas please

[stoops the eternal pimp]

wow...I'll give you something Troup..There is something to this staff not having this team ready...

[JiminyChristmas]

Hunnicut almost whiffed on the kick.

[cleller]

need a turnover now.

At this point, if we picked up a fumble, we might run it the wrong way.

[StoopTroup]

Feel bad for our Kickers.

[VA Sooner]

Their backup QB is outrushing our RBs.

[zeke]

We suck

[KABOOKIE]

WOW, just Wow.

Stoops should take about $500K of his salary and hire a special teams coach.


If I were Joe, I'd take a percentage from Stoops paycheck and hire a special teams coach.


Heh

[soonergirlNeugene]

w/ the way our special teams are going, we oughta go w/ Kevin Kelley's no punt/no field goals scheme

[salth2o]

We cant block. We cant catch defend. We cant kick.


sounds like a country song.

[85sooners]

Goal line d!!

[tulsaoilerfan]

Were not even top 25 so far

[fadada1]

goodnight folks. i can't watch this ****. i'm not filled with much optimism, and we're not even a half into the season. special teams is junior high-esque. utep, folk. utep. and we can't move the stinkin' ball.

[prrriiide]

I thought we paid an OL coach?

[PhiDeltBeers]

At this point, if we picked up a fumble, we might run it the wrong way.

Lol!

[MamaMia]

They went for it. Why the hell not?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

DT's pushed out of the way on that one

[StoopTroup]

wow...I'll give you something Troup..There is something to this staff not having this team ready...

http://auctionstx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dave-Hester-YUUUP.jpg

[marfacowboy]

there should be some chairs thrown in the locker room at half-time

[85sooners]

Yes!

[VA Sooner]

Can we stop them at this point?

[JiminyChristmas]

Starting to feel like the last time we started the season on the road in the state of Texas.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Great hold by the defense!

[football1990]

OU is Lucky!!

[jiminy]

That FG block was on the holder

[redkid]

whewwwww

[jcvsooner]

Defense steps up again. They've been solid this game (after the opening drive), even though special teams has put them in a couple of tough spots.

[MamaMia]

Its time to score! Past time actually; way past time.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

We need Renaldo Works

[tulsaoilerfan]

And of course we have a review

[zeke]

are F**king kidding me this is UTEP

[Rogue]

We cant block. We cant catch defend. We cant kick.

Pass D is looking good I think.
Tackling is lackluster and too many open-field tackles due to being out of position and out-hustled.

[StoopTroup]

We need Renaldo Works

I think I know where he is.....lol

[JLEW1818]

BYU

[football1990]

Utep ought to review it!! Well every play that maybe questionable!!

[cleller]

I won't quit pulling for them, but year after year lately we seem to start off flat this way. Don't see the reason for it.

[FirstandGoal]

Alright, let's move this damn ball!

[tulsaoilerfan]

Why are they showing jabba the hutt so damn much?

[soonerfan69]

BOOOOOOOMER!!!!

[zeke]

Good thing we didnt start with a power house like Kansas or Iowa St

They would be killing us

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Thankfully we aren't playing TT

[zeptrey]

Starting to feel like the last time we started the season on the road in the state of Texas.

Ugh...I was at that one swore to never watch an away opener in person again after that. I may never watch an away opener again period.

[PLaw]

Man,. Price has a gut to be proud of.

[soonergirlNeugene]

wow instant replay gift.....I must have fallen asleep during Bama/Michigan and this is a horrible twisted dream

[SCSoonerfan]

Geez hold on to the FB fellas

[jcvsooner]

That was a nice run. Well, until the fumble, I mean.

[PhiDeltBeers]

We look BAD!

[FirstandGoal]

C'mon Dom! Get it together baby

[okiewaker]

Just chill,,,we got this

[marfacowboy]

He can't hold on to a ****ing thing.

[Dixon]

You knew he was going to fumble that thing. Got lucky... Thank goodness

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Can we do something good without bad happening?

[PLaw]

good hustle JB

[ccmike9]

Our gloves are made of banana peels today

[blacktop]

Whaley just has the dropsies!

[jcvsooner]

A touchdown here and another on the opening drive of the second half and we'll be in good shape :)

[soonerfan69]

Damn it!!!!

[soonergirlNeugene]

Whats with all the late whistles?

[PhiDeltBeers]

No breaks.

[jcvsooner]

Great catch. Bad footwork.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I liked his physical play on that non catch though..nice to have a WR fight.

[marfacowboy]

GFD

[football1990]

Whaley finally looks strong... then fumbles!!!
Metoyer is going to be great!!

[PhiDeltBeers]

Lol! Not surprised. Coaching is awful!

[blacktop]

Hurry up offense charged with a delay!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

bad throw on that one..had him

[PhiDeltBeers]

Bad pass by Jones.

[KABOOKIE]

Garbage

[StoopTroup]

Pass D is looking good I think.
Tackling is lackluster and too many open-field tackles due to being out of position and out-hustled.


I think we'll get it worked out. We just have these kids who keep coming here and competing for positions and come time for the Season to start.....they suddenly act like they have never even played.

Stoops always has seemed to be able to get them back on track but I think we have a really rough road ahead in more than one aspect of our team.

It would be cool to see us come out and hang a 100 on Teams at the beginning of the Season but then we seem to get a bit cocky sometimes too.

[marfacowboy]

I can't believe I haven't smashed something to pieces yet.

[soonerfan69]

How far will they drop in the polls with this showing?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

7-7 at the half...who called that one?:beguiled:

[FirstandGoal]

Wow, looks like there are some definite timing issues that need to be worked on.

Oh, and we got a punt off without it being blocked. YAY

[MamaMia]

No way can we go into that locker room tied with UTEP. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y86/OUmom/smilies/pray.gif

[VA Sooner]

I can't believe it's 7-7 nearing halftime.

[soonercastor]

what a ****ty half

[OUInformant]

Seriously. I don't have words.

[soonerfan69]

Can someone tell me what's the deal with the person whistling between every play in every OU game?

[Dixon]

How far will they drop in the polls with this showing?

If we lose, we fall out of top 25... as we should. If we pull out a close win, I suspect we fall to 12. What I am seeing is not a top 25 team. It's a 5 loss team.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Damn when did John Blake get rehired? We have laid a giant turd so far

[SoonerMarkVA]

Wow. We just look weak. Weak physically and, more importantly, mentally. I didn't expect us to come out on fire, but I definitely didn't expect this, either.

Any of the sun shiners find something positive to say for me. I need something.

[marfacowboy]

At least we're not Penn State.

[MojoRisen]

How bad is it too bee in Mikes Grip right now.... We either respopnd or we have pusssysss

[cleller]

What a swell halftime this will be.

[soonergirlNeugene]

It's like someone else already said. Everytime we do something good, we do something to negate the play. If we can just correct the mistakes, we'll be cruising.

[StoopTroup]

bad throw on that one..had him

Yeah....but I really liked his footwork on that one....LMAO

C;mon D, get the ball back right now!

Landry hasn't thrown an INT

[VA Sooner]

I would love to be a fly on the wall in the locker room once Mike gets the boys in there.

[landrun]

At least we're not Penn State.
We're being our recruited by them though. Think about that... :(

[Seamus]

Need a new pejorative to describe this mess.

Brutalorrifa****astible.

[SoonerKnight]

I am drunk. I am depressed over the game. I ran out of beer and the pain is still there. But at least our D is holding against UTEP!! WTF!!!!!

[StoopTroup]

What a swell halftime this will be.

I'm thinking Snelly might have to tazer Mike....

[PeoriaSooner]

At least we're not Penn State.

I was thinking the same thing...the ONLY silver lining I can see right now.

[Judge Smails]

I hope they are icing down the Vagisil in the locker room for halftime.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

i expected first game jitters, and some summer rust..but damn...to think i was so excited to have football season back. no i'm not so sure

[SoonerKnight]

This sucks

[soonergirlNeugene]

IF we win this, I think we drop to at least 9 or 10 just based on the way everyone else has played.

[StoopTroup]

Any of the sun shiners find something positive to say for me. I need something.

You're not in El Paso.

I sure hope that didn't put you over the edge....

[MamaMia]

I am not seeing the same Whaley.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

might be one of the worst halves of football i've seen in the past 12 years

[PhiDeltBeers]

You're not in El Paso.

Thank you!

[VA Sooner]

I'd laugh hard if we got a touchdown right now.

[PhiDeltBeers]

More good news. We don't have to watch anything for about 20 minutes.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

So what you are saying is Mike didn't yell at them any before the game, but he will have the half and it will change everything...A player has to be that emotional leader..And he hasn't stepped up, whoever he is.

[StoopTroup]

Nice stop by Colvin and Wort

[VA Sooner]

Ugly half... ugly, ugly, ugly.

[Rogue]

LJ is fairly elusive out there tonight. He's stepping away from pressure like a veteran QB.

[SoonerKnight]

HOLY **** THIS CAN NOT BE REAL I AM ****ING IN DISBELIEF AND I AM NEAR TEARS SOMEONE TELL ME THE UTEP IS A GOOD TEAM CUZ THIS SUCKS AND YES I AM YELLING!!

[MamaMia]

So far...
UTEP = Aggressive
OU= Weak

[70sooner]

what do you expect with all the suspensions and losses?

not really that surprised. not a lot of cohesion at all.

ah shoot, I'm going to pour another scotch.....

[landrun]

We're overrated again. And, we're poorly coached ... again.

[soonerboy_odanorth]

FIRE HEUPEL!!! :D

[MojoRisen]

WE just made UTEPs year - time to KILLL this okLOAHOMA FOOTBALL>>>>

[StoopTroup]

Thank you!

Whew.

Glad that was it....LMAO

[salth2o]

Would love to be a fly on the wall in the Sooner locker room at the half.

[SoonerKnight]

WE R GOING TO MAKE THEM THE NEW BOISE STATE FOR CHRIST SAKE SOMEONE TELL ME WE WILL WIN!

[football1990]

Marcus Allen is laughing at OU!!

[StoopTroup]

We're overrated again. And, we're poorly coached ... again.

But thank God Brent is at Clemson.

[MamaMia]

A team whos defensse is 104th in the Nation is doing THIS to US?!

[soonerboy_odanorth]

Somehow this is ALL KEVIN WILSON'S FAULT!

[SoonerKnight]

what do you expect with all the suspensions and losses?

not really that surprised. not a lot of cohesion at all.

ah shoot, I'm going to pour another scotch.....

CAN I HAVE SOME PLEASE **** THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BOOZE FOR THIS!! WTF HAPPENED?

[Soonerus]

The good news....Landy has lost the "happy" feet....

[StoopTroup]

WE R GOING TO MAKE THEM THE NEW BOISE STATE FOR CHRIST SAKE SOMEONE TELL ME WE WILL WIN!

I'm not sure who the Sunshine pumpers are yet. Sorry.

[Ton Loc]

We're overrated again. And, we're poorly coached ... again.

HAHAHAha....ha

Please - I remember all the terrible *** first halves we've played in opening games over the years. Mostly hammered but I still remember coming out in the second half beating the ever living crap out of people.

[Judge Smails]

Can someone tell me how we ended up opening the season in a craphole like El Paso in the middle of the night?

Did someone think that was going to actually help up somehow??

[soonerboy_odanorth]

You know that sound a ballon makes when you've just blown air into it and you are trying to tie off the knot but it slips out of your hand?

Welcome to Sooners Football 2012!

[PhiDeltBeers]

Even the sunshiners are struggling right now. That's when it's really bad. Lol!

[soonerfan69]

You win in the trenches and you lose in the trenches and right now we are losing in the trenches...Period

[tooslow]

Relax guys....... Every top 10 team had jitters before exploding in the second half. I mean, USC and Bama struggled in the first half in their openers. [insert sarcasm smiley here]

Seriously, the offense looks like a duplicate of what finished the regular season last year, so I'm not sure why it should be a shock. :(

[Soonerus]

HAHAHAha....ha

Please - I remember all the terrible *** first halves we've played in opening games over the years. Mostly hammered but I still remember coming out in the second half beating the ever living crap out of people.


Exactly, I have seen it so many times, even in National Championship years.l.

[SoonerKnight]

HAHAHAha....ha

Please - I remember all the terrible *** first halves we've played in opening games over the years. Mostly hammered but I still remember coming out in the second half beating the ever living crap out of people.

REALLY DOES THIS UTEP TEAM SEEM LIKE THEY R GOING TO ROLL OVER?? WELL DO THEY???

[Dixon]

I can't stay up for this one. Hopefully I will awake to good news tomorrow.

Very bummed that we seemed to have picked up where we left off at the end of the regular season last year.

Everyone have a good night

[cleller]

After reading the last few pages, the only way to get thru halftime seems to be to raise our drinks and toast that we're not in El Paso.

[soonerboy_odanorth]

And a brilliant career at OU for Stoops goes *poof*

[soonergirlNeugene]

Can someone tell me how we ended up opening the season in a craphole like El Paso in the middle of the night?

Did someone think that was going to actually help up somehow??

ok....so we were supposed to be playing at TCU tonight. Tell me, is that where you'd rather be playing tonight?
