Sooner Season Begins!

[StoopTroup]

Boomer ! ! !

[FirstandGoal]

Thank goodness! The wait this year was excruciating.

[OUinFLA]

Im in, but Im heading right out.
Hi Tony.

Old age is having an effect on me this year and late night games dont sit well with me anymore.

So, Boomer Sooner everyone.

[StoopTroup]

The Wife is about to have a conniption fit if they don't get this Game Started. I had to explain to her it's not until 9:30

[salth2o]

Get this damn Tortilla Tech game off my screen!

[OUinFLA]

heh, my wife hasnt even figured out football has actually started yet.
shhhhh.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

In!

[salth2o]

Here we go!

[Tiptonsooner]

It's time!!!!!!!!!!!!

[instigator]

What a ridiculously long day. Finally!!

[SoonerKnight]

My wife is outta town and I don't have to listen to it!! Also I have a projector with a 106" screen to watch on and pletny of beer!!!

[VA Sooner]

Waiting to switch over to the OU-UTEP game once I see if Denard Robinson gets up from his reach across the first down line... back injury.

Can't wait to see how our new WRs and old RBs (Whaley, Clay, Finch) and the new kid, Damien Williams do. Want to see how the secondary looks now... and David King at DT.

BOOMER!!!!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

How is there still non-hd football?

[salth2o]

Im in, but Im heading right out.
Hi Tony.

Old age is having an effect on me this year and late night games dont sit well with me anymore.

So, Boomer Sooner everyone.



5 hour energy + Red Bull... :)

[Rogue]

OOOOOO.........

[StoopTroup]

Wife bought me a big sack of these....

OMG....

[Rogue]

Who are these TV announcers? I'm going with the Sirius radio audio I guess.

[okiewaker]

Aaah, bout time. Ain't been here in a while,,,,,,hello to all!

[OUinFLA]

where'd she come from?

[PLaw]

Sooner Up!

Boomer!

[VA Sooner]

Listening to comments about Landry... let's see if his footwork has improved.

[StoopTroup]

Landry to Stills TD!

[aj44mc]

any streaming? not on here in AZ.

[VA Sooner]

I have a feeling it's going to be a "special" night.

Let's get it going....

[nighttrain12]

Old age is having an effect on me this year and late night games dont sit well with me anymore.

So, Boomer Sooner everyone.

um, you should have adjusted your nap schedule today so you could stay up late!

[instigator]

Good god that's a bad first 2 plays.

[Rogue]

C'mon D. Looking kinda slow early. That kid is hurt or winded or something...UTEP RB I mean. 1st down Miners.

[nighttrain12]

Listening to comments about Landry... let's see if his footwork has improved.

Let's see if married life has matured him.

[PLaw]

Well, it is what it is

[soonercastor]

stream (http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/138554/1/watch-4.-oklahoma-vs-utep.html)

[MojoRisen]

WHats up with the D... better wake up...

[Rogue]

UTEP moving at will so far. Too early to panic, we'll settle down and dominate soon.

[soonercastor]

D is rusty

[instigator]

And a few more ****ty ones. We have no DL.

[VA Sooner]

Middle of the d-line is a bit of a hole. Jefferson is going to have a long night if they don't figure out how to close that up.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Gonna be a LONG year.

[Rogue]

OK, time to break that kid's spirit. Who's our #7? He watched a good play on that last run.

[FirstandGoal]

Dang, needed a pick there

[VA Sooner]

That's OK... defense will get their mojo going soon.... wiping the rust off.

[PLaw]

Starting to the front 7 has issues

[VA Sooner]

Timeout already? Did I miss something?

[Rogue]

Corey Nelson. Needs to get it in gear. 12 men on field, timeout. Hey, it's a good catch early on to take the timeout instead of the penalty. The glass is a little bit full.

[SoonerDood]

meet the new boss. same as the old boss

[tulsaoilerfan]

Fire Venables!!! Lol

[salth2o]

#7 is Corey Nelson.

Not good if the safety is the leading tackler. Wake up D.

[PhiDeltBeers]

um, you should have adjusted your nap schedule today so you could stay up late!

I just woke up from my nap! :)

[thunderfan]

who wanted this mike guy hired back?

[85sooners]

Roll some heads!!

[StoopTroup]

The orange is killing my eyes.

[marfacowboy]

I think we should line our linebackers up at least 15 yards deeper. Play them back with the secondary.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

dear gawd...can't get very far in without overreactions..and I may be the worst.

[Rogue]

I've been away awhile, what's up with the "new" format? Someone forget to pay the bills?

[goingoneight]

DL getting pushed around like Conference USA's bitch right now.

[SoonerKnight]

WOW IS IT THAT BAD?>>????

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Line is getting blown up..wow

[tulsaoilerfan]

The sideline reporter is a former miss florida; giggity giggity giggity

[landrun]

dudes getting 10 yards a carry

[PhiDeltBeers]

Fire Mike Stoops!

[VA Sooner]

Settle down D... Ndulae with the tackle.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

That's why I like bigger DEs

[salth2o]

WOW IS IT THAT BAD?>>????

10-15 yds a pop. They will get it going though.

[landrun]

SACK!

[SoonerKnight]

Stoops will do something he gotta!!

[jcvsooner]

That's better. King with the sack.

[FirstandGoal]

There it is

[instigator]

There we go!

[tulsaoilerfan]

Needed that sack!

[Rogue]

Sack!

[VA Sooner]

SACK!!!

Way to go, King!

Hire Mike Stoops!

[fadada1]

i think mike stoops' aorta might burst if he's not careful.

[StoopTroup]

who wanted this mike guy hired back?

The "We're Doomed" Thread has a seat reserved for you.

BTK and I were at a Thunder Game this year and some guy was screaming "NOOOOOO!' every time Westbrook got the ball or shot. After everyone around him had gotten to the point they were ready to throw him over the rail of the upper deck.....he finally STFU.

[soonercastor]

BOOM

[MojoRisen]

KIng!!! We need to do something on the zone run.. no nickle today..

[salth2o]

wide left.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Ok, got out of that one.

[85sooners]

Phuck u utep

[soonercastor]

WIDE LEFT

[VA Sooner]

Field goal is wide left!

Good stop by defense and now we get to see what the new offense players will do.

[salth2o]

Lets go O. Shove one down their throat!

[FirstandGoal]

Missed FG.

All is well, now lets see what the O can do

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I'll say it for the trillionth time..I love david king..

[thunderfan]

The "We're Doomed" Thread has a seat reserved for you.



you really are an idiot if you don't see the sarcasm.
prescription drugs has that affect I guess

[bluedogok]

The KKGM online feed is several minutes behind. I need to get my Sirius home antenna put up.

[afs]

Good stop.

[picasso]

Gonna be a LONG year.
Really? Are you an oracle?

[salth2o]

I'll say it for the trillionth time..I love david king..


This!

[Rogue]

Back to "bend don't break." During the Clemson/Auburn game they commented on how many 40+ yard pass plays BV's defense gives up. I prefer Mike's version. Defense looked sloppy up until that last stick, but I think another few possessions and we'll start clicking. Glad we didn't open against WVU today.

[PhiDeltBeers]

We need to score about 7 tds on this first drive. :)

[85sooners]

who wanted this mike guy hired back?eat $hit

[PhiDeltBeers]

Really? Are you an oracle?

Yes. Yes I am. What are you a painter?



People don't get sarcasm too easy around here. Lighten up chump.

[VA Sooner]

I'm hoping Stills has a huge season. And Metoyer. And Jones. And Whaley. And Finch.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

way to come back dom..officially

[85sooners]

Millard

[VA Sooner]

Great to see Whaley back. 4 yards.

Millard with the catch and first down. What a beast!

[FirstandGoal]

Millard!

[Rogue]

Whaley for 4.
Quick setup.
Short screen-ishh pass for 1st down.

[PLaw]

Millard - get ready to get trucked!

BOOM

[thunderfan]

eat $hit

what flavor?

[StoopTroup]

STEP....

They are giving your guy Millard the ball. Maybe you win the "Who Scores 1st".

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Who did not see that pass coming?

[soonercastor]

keep using Millard early and often

[afs]

i see the offensive playbook hasn't changed much

[PhiDeltBeers]

Offense is looking good as well.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

telegraphed

[VA Sooner]

Whaley buried by an unblocked defender. Be gentle with our back... he just returned.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

STEP....

They are giving your guy Millard the ball. Maybe you win the "Who Scores 1st".

I hope so..it's a prestigous award

[marfacowboy]

Why are they obsessing with these UTEP fans?

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

We need meat on the D-line.

[Rogue]

Just good defense by UTEP there.
3rd and 11.
Gun.
incomplete pass.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Stills picking up where he left off.

[85sooners]

Catch it!!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Well..

[salth2o]

gotta catch those. Tough, but gotta get it done.


What the freaking F?

[thunderfan]

AT least Stills has cool hair.

[instigator]

Eff me.

[landrun]

My wife is laughing.... :(

[MamaMia]

No way. :(

[fadada1]

well that sucked.

[Rogue]

Pass was there.
Really? Blocked punt? Fukkkkkkkkk

[PLaw]

Well crap.

[FirstandGoal]

Well...... ****

[VA Sooner]

Stopped on a crossing route. Tress Way punt block... Miners score first.

Damn.

[StoopTroup]

Well....that wasn't very nice.

[SCSoonerfan]

Wtf was that

[85sooners]

Wtf

[PhiDeltBeers]

Wow, maybe the miners should be ranked #4.

[landrun]

C'mon Stoops... that's not acceptable

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Well...

[thunderfan]

At least the Defense didn't give up that score

[SanJoaquinSooner]

there goes the shut out season.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Special teams in midseason form i see

[PLaw]

Stay calm - all is well.

[redkid]

how can 5 of the 8 rushing not get blocked,,,wow

[SoonerDood]

cmon team. lay off the weed

[stoops the eternal pimp]

offense goes out at the speed of light and blocked punt...

[Sooner98]

Stellar special teams play!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

how can 5 of the 8 rushing not get blocked,,,wow

yeah, any number of guys could have blocked that

[VA Sooner]

OK team. Let's settle down and turn this game around.

Let's see a few passes/runs by Millard to settle the O down a bit.

[MojoRisen]

Its not acceptable, like we haven't been going hard in practice.. Maybe it is by design break em down and build em up

[thunderfan]

When Brent left Bob forgot to hire a special teams coach..

[goingoneight]

This is pathetic so far.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Well that was a great opening series

[JLEW1818]

What a joke

[thunderfan]

maybe that was a designed screen pass..

[okiewaker]

Wow,,,,just a little embarrassing

[stoops the eternal pimp]

wow...no one blocks...no one

[prrriiide]

I waited the whole offseason for this?

[PalmettoSooner]

it will be okay...now we need to make them pay

[soonergirlNeugene]

ok, so we're completely fail on every side of the ball so far

grape job guyz!

[thunderfan]

try an onside kick.

[zeptrey]

Hmmmm special teams sucking at least that's familiar.

[Rogue]

Answer

[85sooners]

Ugly

[StoopTroup]

http://image.spreadshirt.net/image-server/image/composition/9004728/view/1/producttypecolor/1/type/png/width/280/height/280/blind-squirrel-gets-a-nut_design.png

[PalmettoSooner]

wow...UTEP has some ugly fans:cower:

[MamaMia]

Blocked punt and a special teams TD by the opposition is not a good way to start out the season. UTEP looks much more...shall we say, awake?

[VA Sooner]

Definitely surprised right now.

[85sooners]

Block!!!!

[landrun]

We are NOT blocking well at all!

[PalmettoSooner]

the screen pass is not working

[FirstandGoal]

Its called blocking. We should try it. Really.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Moving ball backwards on offense.

[instigator]

Special teams in midseason form i see

Heh!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

No WR blocking at all...

[85sooners]

Down field!!

[VA Sooner]

Whaley looks good... getting back to his normal self.

[salth2o]

Is Chuck "third and" Long calling plays?

[nighttrain12]

wow...UTEP has some ugly fans:cower:

Could be a good thing, no distraction for their team.

[85sooners]

!!!!!!!!

[FirstandGoal]

wow

[landrun]

UTEP is killing us right now!!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

3 and out at the speed of light..and punt attempt..

[PhiDeltBeers]

Even jones looks ****ty. Lovely.

[marfacowboy]

We have no heart and are poorly coached.

[jcvsooner]

Not a great decision on that throw. Looking really lackluster so far, but that's not unusual for us in the road opener, I guess ...

[stoops the eternal pimp]

this is why I don't like the no huddle

[VA Sooner]

Whaley looks good... Jones does not. Needs to wake up.... three and out and almost a pick.

Come on team... wake up.

[FirstandGoal]

Okay, seriously. More Millard please

[KABOOKIE]

Long season ahead. As long as Landry plays timid on the road, defense is constantly out of position and special teams is special.

[bluedogok]

This is why you play a Savannah State for the first game......

[85sooners]

This is bs

[thunderfan]

got that kick off barely

[VA Sooner]

Almost another blocked punt. Need to work on protection schemes better.

[Sooner02]

I hate to see and say it: this team sorely lacks motivation and will to win too often.

[MojoRisen]

Bama would be up 21 nothin right now... We ain't ready... Should be easy adjustments but that is about as bad as anyone I have seen today start a game..

[stoops the eternal pimp]

This is why you play a Savannah State for the first game......

lets not try to fool ourselves that OU is playing any quality of a team.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Well lets try a few more 0 yard passes next series lol

[nighttrain12]

I think Landry has gotten whipped during his early married life. Damn you Whitney! Love ya but hate you also!

[KABOOKIE]

Landry hasn't improved one bit since his sophomore year. Time for him to sit it out and let Bell start his career.

[JiminyChristmas]

Looks just like the offense that struggled after losing Broyles last year...

[PhiDeltBeers]

Only like 40 points or so to cover the spread. :)

[85sooners]

We need points

[SoonerKnight]

Is it telling that we are the only top 10 team to not have scored in the first couple minutes. This is crap.!.!.!

[zeptrey]

Swing pass swing pass right swing pass left and incomplete pass in double coverage. Let's pull our heads out and try to salvage this turd of a game!

[fadada1]

i'm sorry, folks... right now, after watching bama DISMANTLE the #8 team... we are WAY off. bama looked like they simply took a 20 minute break from last year's championship game... NOT 9 months. 2 offensive series in, and i'm already tired of the screen pass to the RB.

[PalmettoSooner]

defense needs to make a big play

[tulsaoilerfan]

Looks just like the offense that struggled after losing Broyles last year... agreed

[One4OU]

This is why you play a Savannah State for the first game......

Does the swing pass work on them?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Looks just like the offense that struggled after losing Broyles last year...

Can we use that as an excuse again? Also, AD getting hurt against Iowa State is why we can't run the ball.

[DrZaius]

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON!

[Ton Loc]

Landry hasn't improved one bit since his sophomore year. Time for him to sit it out and let Bell start his career.

Good to see the posters are in mid-season whiny bitchy mode already. You guys must have had a reaaly good off season in preparation for 2012.

[bluedogok]

lets not try to fool ourselves that OU is playing any quality of a team.
No, but there is mediocre then there is historically horrible, UTEP could spank Savannah State by 50 ten out of ten times.

[hawaii 5-0]

Who is OU's Special Teams coach?

Did they ever hire one?

After all, it's only 1/3 of the game.

5-0

[PhiDeltBeers]

We don't appear to even be a top 50 team thus far. I know it's early, but we have done NOTHING well.

[Penguin]

Put 9 in the box

[goingoneight]

Is it too much to ask that we stop giving these Davids their landmark victories over us?

[landrun]

We start out like this almost every year!!

[soonercastor]

http://i.imgur.com/fkLF9.gif

[VA Sooner]

OK defense. Let's see what you can do now.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Left side had a receiver wide open on that 3rd down. Landry staring receiver down.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Turnover coming up

[StoopTroup]

this is why I don't like the no huddle

Yeah....I think we should still use it but sometimes the D makes adjustments and we should possibly screw around with our rhythm.

Dear Announcers....

Baylor doesn't have squat.

[85sooners]

Lay him out!!

[Rogue]

D players starting to "fly around."

[soonercastor]

We start out like this almost every year!!


No No, we don't.

[GhostOfBud]

agressive D on that screen

[VA Sooner]

Broke up the screen... loss of 2. That's better.

[85sooners]

Free play

[soonergirlNeugene]

some strange looking gridiron on our facemasks

[stoops the eternal pimp]

hmm..

[soonercastor]

WOW

[PhiDeltBeers]

Penalties on top of everything.

[85sooners]

Grass monster

[stoops the eternal pimp]

3 guys fell without touching anyone

[VA Sooner]

Wort with the TFL.

[KABOOKIE]

Good to see the posters are in mid-season whiny bitchy mode already. You guys must have had a reaaly good off season in preparation for 2012.

You must be at work and unable to watch this garbage called Offense.

[FirstandGoal]

D looking better.

We got this, but first we've gotta have one of those WTF first halves I predict

[85sooners]

Stick him

[PhiDeltBeers]

Finally!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

David King again

[VA Sooner]

Defense does a better job.... much better.

Is that Mike Stoops suited up and on the field?

[salth2o]

Good to see the posters are in mid-season whiny bitchy mode already. You guys must have had a reaaly good off season in preparation for 2012.

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.

[PalmettoSooner]

a better defensive series other than the offsides

[Rogue]

Roster for those following along at home.
This is where avoiding all football news all summer is NOT paying off.
I have no idea what's going on...Venables is gone, our team is discombobulated so far, and apparently there's a playoff this year.
I don't like this new board.
Where's my spekker?

[PhiDeltBeers]

You must be at work and unable to watch this garbage called Landry.

Lol!

[marfacowboy]

Looked a lot better there. Maybe they realized these guys aren't just going to lay down.

[VA Sooner]

Damn... didn't get to see Justin Brown in action.

[PalmettoSooner]

alright offense...time to tie this thing up...

[Rogue]

http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/okla-m-footbl-mtt.html

[thunderfan]

WE got some Road Warrior type facemasks going on.

[Ton Loc]

You must be at work and unable to watch this garbage called Landry.

I'll give you this - you're consistent. Regardless the topic you dump all over it.

[diverdog]

When was the last time we blocked a punt?

[StoopTroup]

Miners looked bad that series.

About what i except from them the rest of the game.

[85sooners]

Diamond

[instigator]

Not much with the diamond there.

[PalmettoSooner]

OL is getting outplayed....need better blocking

[winout]

I hate to see and say it: this team sorely lacks motivation and will to win too often.

Starts at the top. Bob just wants to handle games as a business trip. No excitement, no emotion.

[PhiDeltBeers]

This looks like LSUS defense.

[Rogue]

The wife and dogs are starting to look nervous.
