BOOOMER

[Therealsouthsider]

[Tiptonsooner]

Why is Jordan Phillips in shorts???

[olevetonahill]

I hope Flak and OUin Fla. are ok

[MyT Oklahoma]

We win the toss. Sweet!

[olevetonahill]

We win the toss. Sweet!

Always a great sign IMHO

[Judge Smails]

I thought we've lost 5 at home?

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nipple alert in Norman tonight.

[PLaw]

So where is Phillips ?

[Judge Smails]

I was at that 2005 TCU loss. Ugh.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Man the radio is way behind the TV broadcast tonight.

[Judge Smails]

Defense is looking scrappy.

[MyT Oklahoma]

OMG nice gang tackle.

[olevetonahill]

3 an out with a sack Yea D

[MyT Oklahoma]

Great stop D and great field position to begin with.

[PLaw]

Mikey, d is back

[Therealsouthsider]

...let's use our speed now boys!

ss

[olevetonahill]

And that Kick just won me 36K in V Bookie play money LOL

[Judge Smails]

Offense needs to get a little warmed up.

[PLaw]

Ok - won that field position change. Go Defense!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice stop in the backfield.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Punting time. Punting time at Tara.

[olevetonahill]

Our D is HOT ,

[PLaw]

Boz is smiling

[MyT Oklahoma]

Let's score some points.

[PLaw]

I love grandma Sheppard

[MyT Oklahoma]

Go for it Bob.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Belldozer!

[ouflak]

Let's just call this the official game thread. Got yanked last minute away by a family thing. Sorry about that.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Man this play calling blows.

[dennis580]

Nice to see the Belldozer

[Therealsouthsider]

...first blood!

ss

[olevetonahill]

Let's just call this the official game thread. Got yanked last minute away by a family thing. Sorry about that.

Was worried Bro. Usually Bill starts em when yer late, I waited till almost last minute. Hope everything is good.

[OUinFLA]

Semi-officially in.
late due to fishing today :)

Hi Howard

[rock on sooner]

Semi-officially in.
late due to fishing today :)

Hi Howard

Ketch anything?

[MyT Oklahoma]

Love our kickoff kicker. Keep 'em buried.

[OUinFLA]

Hi Tony,
thought you were AWOL

[olevetonahill]

Semi-officially in.
late due to fishing today :)

Hi Howard

Is Ok the 3rd Stringer started the game thread LOL
Hope Ya caught a boat load

[swardboy]

Looks like our receivers aren't getting any separation.

[OUinFLA]

24 Mangrove Snapper.

Very nice day.

[OUinFLA]

and.............Gajaw lucks out a win against................Tennessee????
Vols gave the game away in the last minute

[Judge Smails]

I feel like we are dominating this game so far but don't like that we only have a 3 point lead.

[olevetonahill]

I feel like we are dominating this game so far but don't like that we only have a 3 point lead.

Our D yes
Our O not so much.

[Judge Smails]

Absolutely



Our D yes
Our O not so much.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Our offensive line just laid an egg.

[BigTip]

We're better than this....right?

[SoonerKnight]

We'll get the TD soon enough! TCU cannot hang 4 qtrs!!

[olevetonahill]

Our offensive line just laid an egg.

We've gave up TWO sacks so far, WTF?

[MyT Oklahoma]

No first downs. Ten yards passing and -1 yard rushing. Our D came to play.

[Therealsouthsider]

....need to be a little more creative on first downs, plenty of time to throw, routes taking to long to open up

ss

[Therealsouthsider]

...field position has flipped, gotta keep up the run pressure

ss

[David Earl]

TCU has a good defense, folks. And we knew they'd come in well prepared.

OU D is playing really well!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Dig in D, dig in.

[MyT Oklahoma]

So anyone heard whats up with Jordan Phillips?

[Judge Smails]

Is Merv on the radio tonight? Can't believe he would be up to that....

[David Earl]

....need to be a little more creative on first downs, plenty of time to throw, routes taking to long to open up


Their sacks are coverage sacks. The TCU secondary is good.

Hopefully a little more run game will open up for us.

[TXSooner]

Screen play please.

[Dixon]

Our offensive line just laid an egg.

We've gave up TWO sacks so far, WTF?

At least one of those sacks was on Bell for holding the ball way too long. He will settle in...I hope.

[ouflak]

Was worried Bro. Usually Bill starts em when yer late, I waited till almost last minute. Hope everything is good.

Everything is fine. Just kids being kids. Once the drama passed and everybody was sleeping, I realized it was about 40 after I'd planned on starting the thread.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Is Merv on the radio tonight? Can't believe he would be up to that....

Yes and our radio coverage is about two plays behind what is on TV.

[David Earl]

Man our D is relentless so far.

[Therealsouthsider]

...alrighty, looks like OU is going to win 3 - 0...didn't see that coming


ss

[SCSoonerfan]

Alright Offense. Time to get moving.

[Judge Smails]

That's better than 0 - 0.



...alrighty, looks like OU is going to win 3 - 0


ss

[rock on sooner]

Best D I've seen in YEARS......................

[David Earl]

Our offense needs to run a play where we consistently get a bunch of yards and they can't stop it.

[JiminyChristmas]

Probably not a coincidence that we have all our NFL guys st the same game as a bunch of top recruits.

I see what they did there. Nice.

[PLaw]

TCU has a good defense, folks. And we knew they'd come in well prepared.

OU D is playing really well!

Remember this game

[olevetonahill]

Got yer 6 Bro

[TXSooner]

3rd downs not so good for us yet.

[David Earl]

Remember this game
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=332432628

Yup, I've thought a lot about it. TCU took the Tigers to the wire. Even with their QB getting hurt during that game they finished respectably.

[Dixon]

3rd downs not so good for us yet.

Bell looks very uncomfortable. Even so, sacks and punts are better than interceptions. Don't mind him eating the ball if he sees nothing.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Great pursuit by Colvin.

[David Earl]

Bell looks very uncomfortable. Even so, sacks and punts are better than interceptions. Don't mind him eating the ball if he sees nothing.

He's being hurried and pressed, but he's playing pretty hard.

[aurorasooner]

geeez. I used to think ESPiN had a lot of commercials, but Fox is ridiculous. Hopefully they're trying to get all of them out of the way early.

Got the ESPiN Arky/UF game on one small monitor, and the ND/ASU on the other and Fox has had about twice as many commercials as the other 2 games.

[Judge Smails]

I think we are both 0-5 on third downs. Yech...

[Dixon]

D looks great. O needs to give them a little rest. Come on boys!!

[Therealsouthsider]

...special teams may have to be the difference

ss

[Jack T.]

Man, I'm really liking this D.

For the past several years, I tense up ever time the other team snaps the ball. Not so much this year.

The O, on the other hand, needs. . .something.

[ashley]

My worry is Bell with a good rush.. Hope I am wrong.

[David Earl]

So, do we need to roll the pocket and keep trying to pass? Should we bunch our WR's on one side to clear them out and come in behind with a wheel route or something? Keeping working the run game till it works? What would work?

[TXSooner]

Bell looks very uncomfortable. Even so, sacks and punts are better than interceptions. Don't mind him eating the ball if he sees nothing.

Good point.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

I'm still taking OU -10

[David Earl]

At least we're moving the ball some. TCU has yet to make a first down.

[David Earl]

LOL, Bell just lumbers along out there.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Watching Bell run with the ball is truly classic OU football. LOL

[dennis580]

Bell is more elusive then people think he made 3 guys miss on that 15 yard run

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Ok, guys, 3rd down this time ...

[Therealsouthsider]

....smash mouth time


ss

[SoonerPride93]

atta baby!!!

[TXSooner]

Nice pass play on fourth down!

[David Earl]

Man, offense is playing gritty, if not prolific.

[dennis580]

Bell extremely precise on short throws

[Therealsouthsider]

...sucking the life out of their defense slowly but surely

ss

[Jack T.]

This looks like K-State offense. . .this drive has taken what, 7 minutes?

[David Earl]

Inside the 10!!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Oh yeah, thats the second effort. First and goal.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Touchdown Oklahoma!

[SanJoaquinSooner]

it's millard time!!!!

[SCSoonerfan]

Millard TIme!!

[olevetonahill]

And our O gets Going

[David Earl]

You people, that's an 84 yard drive in, like, 76 plays or something!

[TXSooner]

...sucking the life out of their defense slowly but surely

ss

Hope that means big runs in second half.

[Therealsouthsider]

...we will impose our will!!!!


ss

[Tiptonsooner]

BOOOOMER!!

[Dixon]

Sa-weet!!! Love that drive.

[BigTip]

Soooner!

[soonercastor]

I've always said get the ball more to this man.

[SoonerPride93]

A Trey Millard touch....DOWN!

[Judge Smails]

Have we ever held a team to no first downs in a half??

[olevetonahill]

LOL, Bell just lumbers along out there.

Heh

[Jack T.]

Just checked. . .we've had the ball 18 minutes to TCU's 9

[MyT Oklahoma]

Now that was some nice play calling Josh. Thank you.

[BigTip]

You know what was wrong with that drive?







NOTHING!!!!!!

[PLaw]

#33, my MAN

[SCSoonerfan]

7-0 Baylor with only a minute and a half gone in the game.

[dennis580]

This looks like K-State offense. . .this drive has taken what, 7 minutes?

Got to love it

[PLaw]

Great defense, Mikey

[David Earl]

We have 12 first downs. They have about 15 yards total offense.

[OUinFLA]

Our offense needs to run a play where we consistently get a bunch of yards and they can't stop it.

and this is different from any other game we play.... how?

[David Earl]

Great defense, Mikey

If our D can keep this up, their D will eventually wear down.

[soonercastor]

This defense is nasty

[MyT Oklahoma]

Man our D is playing with a f-ing atitude tonight. Right before our trip to Dallas. Sweet!

[SoonerPride93]

Charles Tapper is a man!!!!

[David Earl]

Tapper is a beast!

[Therealsouthsider]

...nobody can handle Tapper!

ss

[David Earl]

In time of possession we are leading 8 years, 3 months, 16 days and 47 minutes compared to their 8 nano seconds.

[PLaw]

Neal coming alive

[SoonerPride93]

These passes are making my heart skip a beat

[mhackl]

Way to go Neal!

[David Earl]

Their CB is very impressive. #2

[SoonerPride93]

Had to yell "Swing it" loud enough for Blake to hear me on that 3rd down

[MyT Oklahoma]

Can you just imagine the groans and mindless mumbling down in Austin tonight as they watch this game?

[David Earl]

You people, I can't hardly believe the first half is nearly done. This game has gone QUICKLY!

[Judge Smails]

NO FIRST DOWNS FOR TCU IN THE FIRST HALF!!!

They have 16 total yards!! 17 in the air and -1 on the ground!

How AWESOME is that?????

[TXSooner]

Can you just imagine the groans and mindless mumbling down in Austin tonight as they watch this game?

Oh, you mean the saxet people who wish Bob Stoops was their coach?

[Judge Smails]

You don't have to.

Go to shaggybevo and listen to them live!




Can you just imagine the groans and mindless mumbling down in Austin tonight as they watch this game?

[Jack T.]

And a kicker. . .no longer do I have to hold my breath when the kicker is on the field.

[Statalyzer]

I totally understand Blake Bell sliding there, but I also have a hard time imagining that if he picked one of those 3 DBs (approaching from very different angles), and changed direction to head straight at the guy and then lead with his shoulder, that the guy would have brought him down.

[OUinFLA]

These passes are making my heart skip a beat

mine just stops
some of those passes are.........dangerous

[limey_sooner]

-1 yards rushing for TCU.

[olevetonahill]

and this is different from any other game we play.... how?

Snicker

[dennis580]

Great to have a QB who can get you 10 or 15 yards on a run. Bell has a lot more mobility then people think.

[GottaHavePride]

Those stats sound like what we did to Arky in the 01 cotton bowl. Or to Seneca Wallace.

[hawaii 5-0]

Great Defense today.

Did TCU convert any 1st downs in the half?

Great poise by Bell and nice 3rd down catches by our WRs.

5-0

[dennis580]

Bell is 16/20 against a really great secondary

[SCSoonerfan]

14-7 Baylor 9 mins left in the first quarter

[MyT Oklahoma]

You don't have to.

Go to shaggybevo and listen to them live!

I will check that out after the game. Love the fact they are already losing it at the thought of seeing us next week.

[limey_sooner]

Great Defense today.

Did TCU convert any 1st downs in the half?

Great poise by Bell and nice 3rd down catches wy our WRs.

5-0

Nope. No first downs. 21 plays for 16 yards. Has there been a penalty on either side?

[Judge Smails]

Nope. No first downs. 21 plays for 16 yards. Has there been a penalty on either side?

1 penalty on TCU for 5 yards.

This is a very strange game.....

[SoonerorLater]

Nope. No first downs. 21 plays for 16 yards. Has there been a penalty on either side?

The 5 yard delay of game right before half was the only penalty

[Judge Smails]

Wow. Did you see that pass Gilbert Grape threw today for 2 point conversion? Bet Saxet would give anything to have him back right now.

[SCSoonerfan]

Baylor is good. 21-7 6:25 left in the first quarter

[David Earl]

I totally understand Blake Bell sliding there, but I also have a hard time imagining that if he picked one of those 3 DBs (approaching from very different angles), and changed direction to head straight at the guy and then lead with his shoulder, that the guy would have brought him down.

My guess is the coaches are telling him to slide unless the situation is desperate. They want to minimize injury risk.

[Jacie]

Shaggy Bevo total obsession with penis's thread:

http://www.shaggybevo.com/board/showthread.php/136556-2013-tx-ou-ms-paint-thread-of-dominance

[SoonerOX]

Jake trotter tweeted that tcu could use case mccoy right now. I lawl'd

[Judge Smails]

FYI, in the 77-0 A&M game back in '03, we had 33 first downs to their 3.

All 3 of them came in the first quarter, so we did shut them out of first downs in the second half.

[hawaii 5-0]

My guess is the coaches are telling him to slide unless the situation is desperate. They want to minimize injury risk.


I wondered by Shepard falls alot. My guess he's been told to fall down to avoid contact once he is contained.

5-0

[David Earl]

WR's are catching well tonight.

[David Earl]

WR's are catching well tonight.

LOL, oops. Thought he caught that.

[PLaw]

Poor series by CJH

[TXSooner]

Go back to the run.

[SCSoonerfan]

28-7 Baylor still 5 mins left in the 1st Q

[David Earl]

Looks our coaches are determined to establish the pass.

[Dixon]

Looks our coaches are determined to establish the pass.

Should have continued to pound them. We let their D off the hook. I want some Ford time. Put him in coach!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Should have continued to pound them. We let their D off the hook. I want some Ford time. Put him in coach!

Seconded. I wanna' see Ford too.

[David Earl]

Man, third and one and the QB drops the snap.

[mhackl]

YES!

[Judge Smails]

Still no first downs. Awesomeness.




Man, third and one and the QB drops the snap.

[olevetonahill]

Looks our coaches are determined to establish the pass.

Aint that what the sideline Girl said Bob told her?

[Therealsouthsider]

...nothing wrong with what our starters are doing at running back but a physical game like this seems tailor made for Ford...he'd take some of the starch out of their run pursuit

ss

[MyT Oklahoma]

Did anyone even block on that last run?

[Judge Smails]

I'd feel a lot better with another score. Still worried about their offense in spite of our domination.

[Dixon]

...nothing wrong with what our starters are doing at running back but a physical game like this seems tailor made for Ford...he'd take some of the starch out of their run pursuit

ss

Yep. Exactly my thought. He is a punishing runner.

I suspect Bob just trusts the older guys to hang onto the ball. Can't really argue with that in a close game.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Someone wake me up when the flags are over with.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice stop D. Nice stop.

[TXSooner]

Love those tcu false starts.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice trick play. Too bad it worked.

[Judge Smails]

Now they're going to start pulling stuff out of their azz.

[David Earl]

They are having to fight for every yard.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice f-ing hit. Hope our recruits are enjoying themselves this weekend.

[David Earl]

I really want our D to get a turnover right here.

[Therealsouthsider]

...why aren't our dbacks playing tight on that 4th down blitz?

ss

[MyT Oklahoma]

Dig in D. Dig in.

[David Earl]

Held them to a FG. Not ideal, but I'll take it.

Now the O needs to ANSWER!

[Jack T.]

Need another touchdown. . .as long as these drives are taking, we'd be in pretty good shape up 17 points.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Okay Josh, burn some clock, move the chains and score some points.

[Eielson]

Anybody have a link to watch the game? My link from the first half went down.

[JLMSOONER]

Good D holding them to 3.

[Statalyzer]

TCU - where you have to run a flea flicker just to pick up 11 yards and get a first down.

[SCSoonerfan]

wth

[Judge Smails]

Nice

[Therealsouthsider]

...holy hades!

ss

[David Earl]

Well... so much for that.

[MyT Oklahoma]

WTF is going on?

[SCSoonerfan]

too many missed tackles there

[Judge Smails]

Where did this team come from?

[olevetonahill]

Dont like this worth a shat

[Therealsouthsider]

...gotta stay in attack mode!

ss

[PLaw]

Bob is getting pissed - good thing

[Judge Smails]

Did our defense go home?

[SCSoonerfan]

sigh

[Dixon]

Their coaches made adjustments. This is a theme we have all seen in the past. Our guys need to adjust quickly.

Very frustrating.

[Jack T.]

*sigh*

Time for a offensive 3-out to put the D back on the field.

[Therealsouthsider]

...fn pooch kick, not covering the ball leads to letting them back in! We better come out with a little more urgency!

ss

[Eielson]

Their coaches made adjustments. This is a theme we have all seen in the past. Our guys need to adjust quickly.

Very frustrating.

I love how everybody on here acts like we always get outcoached.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Come on Josh WTF was that? Two sorry calls in a row.

[David Earl]

Gonna have to try something different on offense.

[soonerfan69]

This playcalling is pathetic!! If you only throw 2-5 yd passes the Defense will just stack in on you they have got to stretch the field it's not that difficult

[Therealsouthsider]

...how predictable Josh, way to waste a play before the qtr expired

ss

[NorthernIowaSooner]

Gonna have to try something different on offense.

Stop throwing #2's way would be a good start.

[EatLeadCommie]

We really have no offensive identity

[Judge Smails]

I don't think I've ever seen so much momentum shift so quickly.

[OffroadOUFan]

The close 4th quarter at home to an opponent looking to catch us--now is the time for the team to prove what they are made of...

[soonerfan69]

I think a peewee coach could call better plays

[Dixon]

I think our coaches do a great job, but I also think we have a history of getting out "adjusted" after halftime. I am hopeful we will adjust to their adjustments.

[soonercastor]

Our D is wearing down. The offense (and that Special teams play) is why this **** is so close

[Therealsouthsider]

...when's the last time OU ran a flea-flicker or pooch punt? Absolutely no creativity or imagination...stubbornness

ss

[blacktop]

These short punts aren't helping either.

[David Earl]

One big play by the defense and momentum could swing the other way.

[Judge Smails]

When is the last time we did a shovel pass?

[Statalyzer]

The TCU coaches made the "force kickoff fumble" adjustment?

[rock on sooner]

We better stop TCU this possession or we are in deep doo-doo..

[MyT Oklahoma]

Corey Nelson have a seperated shoulder? Thats what they just said on the radio.

[Eielson]

I think our coaches do a great job, but I also think we have a history of getting out "adjusted" after halftime. I am hopeful we will adjust to their adjustments.

I don't understand where this idea comes from. I don't know what our record is when leading at half, but I'd imagine it's pretty good.

[blacktop]

I'm "watching" the game on Sports Illustrated play-by-play. Is Barnett kicking into a wind?

[Statalyzer]

He was actually open there....

[Therealsouthsider]

The TCU coaches made the "force kickoff fumble" adjustment?

....OU wasn't expecting it is the point, the TCU defense has been on their heels one drive

ss

[mhackl]

My bad. I didn't have any Sooner gear on. Issue corrected. Let's start playing now.

[NorthernIowaSooner]

Colvin plays ten yards off, TCU completes ten yard pass

[MyT Oklahoma]

Striker you a$$hole. Do you not know how to tackle?

[David Earl]

Very bad call!

[soonerfan69]

He had him by the shoulder and jersey

[David Earl]

He had the jersey

[soonercastor]

How can you do something like that. ****

[Judge Smails]

I do not like how this is going.

[David Earl]

Has Nelson come back in any?

[Therealsouthsider]

...TCU letting it all hang out...hope OU offensive brain-trust is taking notes

ss

[SoonerinSouthlake]

Gotta make that play!

[soonerfan69]

are they going to bail them out again

[Judge Smails]

We better get some offense quick.

[soonercastor]

Now only if our offense would do something. Anything.

[SCSoonerfan]

OUr O needs to wake up right now. We need a drive.

[SoonerKnight]

A stop!!!

[soonerfan69]

Change it up and put Trevor in he can't do no worse at least he can run

[David Earl]

TCU has run two trick plays. One got 11 yards for the first down. The other ended in them being sacked and the refs making a bad call on a jersey grab.

[JiminyChristmas]

I'm "watching" the game on Sports Illustrated play-by-play. Is Barnett kicking into a wind?

No. just kicking short.

[Therealsouthsider]

TCU has run two trick plays. One got 11 yards for the first down. The other ended in them being sacked and the refs making a bad call on a jersey grab.

...and it's put them right into the catbird seat

ss

[olevetonahill]

Change it up and put Trevor in he can't do no worse at least he can run

This Cracks me the **** up

[soonerfan69]

Why won't they call a pass longer than 5 yds
