Official Game Thread: OU versus Texas (2013)

[BB37]

Ford for the first down.

[Jacie]

That stat about the team that has the edge in rushing yards wins the game? Well?

[cvsooner]

I don't think we executed the first half gameplan very well. Texas D playing better than I expected. Getting us into third and long...not a good fit for us.

[BB37]

A promising start grinds to a stop.

[cvsooner]

Bell finally runs. But waited too long to do so.

[cvsooner]

Moneycutt. Now if we can get a turnover...or a three and out. Guess we'll see.

[David Earl]

At least we got points. We'll see what the D can do...

[SoonerKnight]

we'll march back one FG at a time!!!

[bluedogok]

He should have thrown the ball to the crossing receiver after the LB fell down.

[JLEW1818]

Man we need a pick

[mhackl]

Alright D, Step up!

[SOONER44EVER]

If texas runs straight up the middle for 7 or 8 yards this game is over.

[cvsooner]

The good news: we came out from halftime and moved the ball fairly well. We're in trouble on third and long, though. Going to have to pull out something special, somewhere. Maybe this will be a character building win.

[David Earl]

Games can go crazy directions, but I think how the D does on this next series or two will tell the story.

[cvsooner]

Hodgson is a great kickoff guy.

[cvsooner]

Texas has nearly doubled its third down conversion rate today.

[agoo758]

It took 3 quarters for bell to run. Josh needs to be fired

[cvsooner]

This looks more like the D I expected.

[Jacie]

Wow, two runs for 2 yards!

[Soonerjeepman]

cmon D

[David Earl]

Good series!

[cvsooner]

Looked like PI on the receiver to me.

[birddog]

Games like this are why I don't get too upset anymore. Can't win em all and we can go from lookin like world beaters to a wife beater on any given sat. Lots of fire power on offense but they find ways to go against our strengths. Also, can we get Roy motherscratchin finch the ball for fux sake

[SoonerKnight]

**** REALLY?????

[JLEW1818]

Good job !!!

[agoo758]

Is anyone else suprised.

[David Earl]

Stupid call by the refs!!

[JLEW1818]

Here comes another 3rd and long collapse

[cvsooner]

Okay, on the replay it was PI. Well, we're doing pretty well on first and second down. Now if we can get the third down stop....

[BB37]

Aside from the questionable PI, the defensive play is looking enouraging.

[cvsooner]

Good stop. McCoy is limping a bit.

[SCSoonerfan]

Great job D

[Since71ASooner4Life]

tide might be turning

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice stop Sooners. Nice stop.

[David Earl]

D playing much better

[Jacie]

Go Red!

[cvsooner]

Cannot believe McCoy made that throw still. It's been that kind of day. Short punt. Ha!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Good stop. McCoy is limping a bit.

Case is hearing the pitter patter of a big fast OU linebacker coming his way. LOL

[David Earl]

tide might be turning

A big drive with a TD by the O and the momentum is turned.

[SoonerKnight]

Put that COW out of it's misery!!! I am sure the slaughter house could help him out!!!

[okiewaker]

Dang,,,Stryker came to play!

[SoonerKnight]

A big drive with a TD by the O and the momentum is turned.

We gonna win this game!!! Why the doubt????

[cvsooner]

Much better job by the D...so the actual gameplan was to give the Whorns hope only to crush it in the second half? Since having the game over at halftime was too boring for ABC?

[Soonerjeepman]

c'mon..offense...we HAVE to have a TD...long drive...time wise.

[LibertyValance]

Time to grab momentum.

[BB37]

One of the radio guys that last punt hit one of the overhead camera wires. Starting with good FP for a change.

[SoonerKnight]

Much better job by the D...so the actual gameplan was to give the Whorns hope only to crush it in the second half? Since having the game over at halftime was too boring for ABC?
No, the players were still sleepy!!!

[Soonerjeepman]

bell is so slow...

[cvsooner]

Missed block on the QB run. Injury on D. May play in our favor.

[BB37]

Horn down.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

I have a great idea. We should try running it up the middle. That always works.

[cvsooner]

Conditioning may play a role today too.

[Dixon]

Can't figure out why Blake is moving so tentatively. Not running like a man who is looking for every yard.


Wait, maybe because he shaved off his razor stubble?

[bluedogok]

Bell is much more of a draw type of runner, going wide and waiting for a hole he just doesn't have the acceleration needed.

[cvsooner]

Does Williams not have any speed anymore? LB should not have caught him.

[Jacie]

A wasted series.

[Dixon]

Ugh. Had him on that one.

[SCSoonerfan]

If only Blake could throw the deep ball.

[SoCalBigRed]

Wow... another open receiver.

[cvsooner]

Lousy possession. **** poor effort by Shepherd on the pass. He had a step but pass was a bit long.

[Indy Sooner]

Can't figure out why Blake is moving so tentatively. Not running like a man who is looking for every yard.



Got some advice from Clowney.

[SoCalBigRed]

You have got to be kidding me.

Turning this **** off.

Later.

[cvsooner]

The hold on Box was terrible. Punt return for TD. We're in trouble.

[fadada1]

game over.

[Dixon]

Good thing we called the coverage from the sideline. That was as bad as it gets. A friggin punt and we are screwing around on the sidelines.

[SCSoonerfan]

Unreal. Anything that can go wrong today has so far.

[SoonerKnight]

HOlding!! AND NO FLAG!!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Massive f-ing holding and the refs do nothing. Our player even punched the UT player and no flag.

[BB37]

That may be the coup de grace.

[okiewaker]

Ooooooova!

[cvsooner]

Blocked the xp. That's something.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

**** you mother****ers

[SoonerKnight]

ok

[SOONER44EVER]

game over.
Precisely.

[tulsaoilerfan]

This is as ill prepared an OU team as i have ever seen

[Soonerjeepman]

game...geeze...

[David Earl]

Gotta answer with a TD.

Got. To.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

Who is starting our meltdown thread?

[Jacie]

Blocked the xp. That's something.

Yeah, gives the whorns something they have to work on next week.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

**** show . Absolute **** show.

[cvsooner]

I should've taken Texas and the points. If I had, OU would be up by 20.

[BoulderSooner79]

That missed extra point is going to haunt....

oh, nevermind.

[agoo758]

I don't want to hear that piece of **** dean whine about any criticisms about this team or our coaching staff. It deserves all the flack it gets.

[SoonerKnight]

unreal we will need a TD!!! NOW!!! AND WE WILL NEED SOME int's!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This is as ill prepared an OU team as i have ever seen

^ this

[BoulderSooner79]

I should've taken Texas and the points. If I had, OU would be up by 20.

So it's your fault!

;)

[SOONER44EVER]

This is as ill prepared an OU team as i have ever seen

You obviously weren't around in the Blake, Schnelly years.

[fadada1]

This is as ill prepared an OU team as i have ever seen
in every area of the game.

[SoonerKnight]

OU wins this!!!

[Jacie]

unreal we will need a TD!!! NOW!!! AND WE WILL NEED SOME int's!!

You mean you expect them to pass with a 16-point lead?

[Soonerjeepman]

so, we run on the last possession of the half (granted only 27 yrds), we then run on the opening possession the 2nd half...granted only got 3....we then hold them...decide to start throwing on a SHORT PUNT..good coaching. Tryin to out-smart them...lol Pathetic.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

the superior physical talent that Mack Brown doesn't know how to coach is showing and doing it by itself

[Dixon]

This is as ill prepared an OU team as i have ever seen

Unfortunately it looks like a lot of our games over the last couple years. We just can't seem to get over the hump. Oh well...never thought this was a NC season, but thought we would get this one. Bummer.

[fadada1]

said to my wife before the game... "i hate this game. it simply doesn't make any sense. rankings mean nothing... point spread means nothing."

[JLEW1818]

Sucks losing to Texas even when Texas fans want them to lose.

[Jacie]

the superior physical talent that Mack Brown doesn't know how to coach is showing and doing it by itself

Why not? It works 77% of the time . . .

[David Earl]

I don't want to hear that piece of **** dean whine about any criticisms about this team or our coaching staff. It deserves all the flack it gets.

Enjoy the month off.

[SoonerKnight]

Not used to this at all!!

[cvsooner]

If we can push this down the field and score we're down by only nine. Still in it in that case. But big drive.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Who is starting our meltdown thread?

Why wait? LOL

[okiewaker]

What pisses me off is we weren't even on "upset alert" by Espin. FI_Ickers!

[Jacie]

Millard is this team's version of DeMarco Murray.

[Soonerjeepman]

lol...this is frickin hilarious...we are NOW running...good grief

[cvsooner]

so, we run on the last possession of the half (granted only 27 yrds), we then run on the opening possession the 2nd half...granted only got 3....we then hold them...decide to start throwing on a SHORT PUNT..good coaching. Tryin to out-smart them...lol Pathetic.

First play was a run that went nowhere. Second play was a pass to the flat that was caught and went nowhere. Third down and long, so you throw. Shepherd had a step. Pass was a little long.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Keith Ford!

[cvsooner]

Where the heck is Clay?

[Dixon]

FORD!!! One bright spot today. Love his guy.

[okiewaker]

Guess Clay had a horrible week of practice,,,or he's hurt. Did I miss sumptim?

[SOONER44EVER]

I used to want Heupel to be the head coach some day. Not so much now.

[Soonerjeepman]

great effort by Ford

[BB37]

You obviously weren't around in the Blake, Schnelly years.

Yep. Those were the bad old days.

[cvsooner]

Maybe that's why Bell hasn't been running. It isn't working when we do.

[fadada1]

3 things i see:

1 - bell.... completely off. no other way to describe it.
2 - 3rd downs are horrible.
3 - receivers can't get open at all.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

Why not? It works 77% of the time . . .

the last two years when we castrated them they had superior talent. But the Mack Browns and Lane Kiffens are capable of losing with all 4 and 5 stars on the field. Unfortunately, its looking like not today

[kenth68]

holy hell

[cvsooner]

Game over, boys. Terrible interception.

[SCSoonerfan]

Bell got happy feet

[BoomerJoeDon]

INT

[MyT Oklahoma]

Thats it. Bring in TK next series.

[SoonerKnight]

Not good!! Get knight in there!! ****! F U C K!!1

[BB37]

Bell's second pick of the day. At least this one wasn't returned.

[fadada1]

why not.

[SOONER44EVER]

Remember when people were calling for Bell to Start over Landry? Dumbasses.

[JLMSOONER]

Bell's feet need a valium

[David Earl]

I'm afraid that's the game, people. Blake is just not consistent enough in the passing game to come from this far behind after such a bad turnover.

[Indy Sooner]

Bell did find an "open target". Bob left him in too long.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

That's ball game folks

[cvsooner]

Part that ticks me off he is had Saunders open and overthrew him. Maybe we will see our other QB.

[TFSooner]

Nuff said. Put in Trevor

[Dixon]

Ok. Seriously. Not giving up on Bell, but given the situation and our need for a serious spark, why not give Thompson a shot right now. This game is tailored made for a surprise hero.

He brings incredible skills, and he can't do
Any worse than that last pass.

[bluedogok]

Looks to be the first of the three losses I expected this season.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Hey I love Blake Bell as much as anyone but when he doesn't have it, let him ride the bench.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

I have a great idea. We should try running it up the middle. That always works.

Like I said.

[cvsooner]

If we can get a turnover here and quick points, maybe. Gabe Lynn just tattooed number 9 on Gray.

[agoo758]

Enjoy the month off.

You're a 5 year old in a grown mans body. I'm ashamed that you are a sooner fan.

[Soonerjeepman]

great, D PULLED him for a first down.

I agree, put a new QB in.

[cvsooner]

D hasn't quit. Still playing, realizing we're still over a quarter to go.

[David Earl]

Hey I love Blake Bell as much as anyone but when he doesn't have it, let him ride the bench.

Stoops does not quickly switch out QBs. Blake is off today, but his passing game struggles are not really new. Maybe we'll see Knight today, but I doubt it will be soon.

[okiewaker]

Not a good game for Sooners when you don't hear Saunders or Sharp names mentioned with regularity.

[cvsooner]

Colvin's getting worked today.

[BB37]

Colvn hurt.

[Rogue]

Blake Bell looks like actor Vincent D'Onofrio. I'd like to see Trevor now.

[JLMSOONER]

Well crap!

[Soonerjeepman]

Wow, tt might be the leader

[cvsooner]

If we're going to switch QBs now would be the time to do it. Colvin dinged up. Shoulder problem. Great.

[Jacie]

Time for Bob to roll the dice and put Knight in next series.

[BoomerJoeDon]

Why not try another QB Blake just is off today.

[SOONER44EVER]

Why not try another QB Blake just is off today. No, Blake is just not that good.

[Jacie]

Especially since the game will be out of reach in a moment.

[BoomerJoeDon]

I think is over now anyway

[BB37]

THAT'S the ball game.

[MyT Oklahoma]

F U Stoops.

[SoonerKnight]

This is the worst BS I have ever seen!!! Good GOD what is Baylor going to do?

[Dixon]

Hmm...thought we had made a good adjustment on D, but maybe not.

This is an *** kicking

[Rogue]

Guess Clay had a horrible week of practice,,,or he's hurt. Did I miss sumptim?
He dropped a 6 pointer in the first quarter.

[cvsooner]

We have a problem on our 3 man D line...holes are too big. That's game. Turnabout is fair play, I guess. Final will be what, 50-20?

[Soonerjeepman]

I really WANT to go trim trees...but it's like a bad wreck, I just can't look away....

wow...making mccoy look like landry jones...

[kenth68]

kickin' our *** right now

[JLEW1818]

Lol pathetic

[JLMSOONER]

Well, it ain't over til it's over, but I can see the fat lady!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Mack is a dead man walking. How does it feel to be Mack's bitch Bob?

[SoonerKnight]

McCoy really wanted a win!

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

OU getting worked today.

Fixed.

[Jacie]

Now if Mack is smart, he won't run the score up lest OU fires Stoops . . .

[fadada1]

****ING EMBARRASSING.

[Indy Sooner]

This one hurts...

[BoomerJoeDon]

Yep Blake is just not that good

[cvsooner]

Heckuva throw and catch. Gotta give 'em that. They came to play and we didn't. Keep forgetting this is only our second road game. We're playing like it, and they put Davis on our rookie CB in for Colvin.

[SCSoonerfan]

Whelp thats a wrap on this game.

[BoomerJoeDon]

Glad I didn't go to Dallas

[BoulderSooner79]

That's a tip your hat kinda throw.

[okiewaker]

I said on a thread the other day Mack will pull out all the stops to win this game. I was wrong,,,he didn't have to pull out many stops to thrash us.

[delhalew]

I wish Bell would calm his *** down. That run game should be helping.

[kenth68]

yeah, imagine dropping 400 bucks a ticket for this one

[cvsooner]

well, Kansas ought to be a pushover.

[SOONER44EVER]

Kevin Durant ‏@KDTrey5 57s

Aw man this is beautiful football


LOL

[BB37]

Too many people telling 'em this game was won before it started. Incomprehensible game.

[ouflak]

Blake a little panicky.

[TFSooner]

We are the same team as last year, only with a worse, much worse QB!

[Soonerjeepman]

well, I was hoping after the first quarter we'd at least keep it close....

so how far do we drop?

19th/20th/21st?

[Rogue]

Trevor is faster and can throw this badly. Bell needs some bench time.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Its not all Bell's fault.

Our D blows. Our special teams blow. Our offensive play calling blows. Our coaching blows. << Big time.

[bluedogok]

yeah, imagine dropping 400 bucks a ticket for this one
I never would have to worry about that.

[SCSoonerfan]

Well time for a nap i guess.

[Dixon]

Trevor is faster and can throw this badly. Bell needs some bench time.

What is the book on Thompson?

[Since71ASooner4Life]

Give McCoy credit - despite missing a couple of wide open east TDs earlier, he's made some great passes too

[winout]

Clearly the players and maybe the coaches phoned this one in.

[MyT Oklahoma]

I don't hold our players responsible for this fiasco, I hold our coaches fully responsible.

They are way overrated and overpaid. At least today they are.

[cvsooner]

Texas has continually put us into where they wanted us today and we've complied. Well, as we've seen, this is a game that can quickly get out of hand...as we've done twice in the past two years. Guess it's our turn this time.

[76soonergrad]

Just make first downs. Don't give up.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

I really WANT to go trim trees...but it's like a bad wreck, I just can't look away....

wow...making mccoy look like Johnny manziel...

Fixed.

[kenth68]

Texas has continually put us into where they wanted us today and we've complied.

yep, they've controlled us on both sides of the ball.

[mhackl]

Stoops won't do it, but put the Knight train in. Bell is in meltdown mode.

[Jacie]

Settin the dvr to catch Toystory of Terror . . .

[DBrown]

I never would have to worry about that.
Can we write it off as a tax deduction charitable contribution?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I expected. Tough fought game, but didn't expect at all to get blown out.

[kenth68]

just getting worse

[cvsooner]

Should've been intentional grounding. It was.

[Dixon]

Bell is lost. Yank him now...please

[BB37]

And to add insult to injury, intentional grounding.

[SOONER44EVER]

On the bright side............at least the ponies aren't getting all hot and tired.

[BoomerJoeDon]

Who will be the QB next year?

[Soonerjeepman]

I'm confused as well that we still have Blake in...course that is stoop's stubbornness. I'm thinking ksu/osu/bu and maybe tt will light us up.

Geeze...

[MyT Oklahoma]

Bob is too stubborn to switch QB's. Bob is too stubborn to do anything he doesn't want to do. Hope he enjoys Halloween this year. LOL

[fadada1]

are we sure our cheerleaders didn't suit up for us today?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Just run it Blake jeebus

[okiewaker]

Whorn friends texting me saying "fire bob stoops too". They ain't said squat for weeks, now they coming out the woodwork like hungry roaches. Fags!!!

[SOONER44EVER]

Who will be the QB next year?Another guy who can't hold Landry Jones' jock.

[MyT Oklahoma]

On the bright side............at least the ponies aren't getting all hot and tired.

Or crapping anywhere they shouldn't. LOL

[cvsooner]

At this point I would put in Knight to at least give something else for Texas to defend. Bell isn't going to beat anybody to the corner.

[David Earl]

On the bright side............at least the ponies aren't getting all hot and tired.

Yup. Always look for the bright side.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Whorn friends texting me saying "fire bob stoops too". They ain't said squat for weeks, now they coming out the woodwork like hungry roaches. Fags!!!

Let 'em enjoy themselves today. They still have Mack tomorrow.

[cvsooner]

Except for the perfect TD throw the D has played pretty well this half. First half was a wreck.

[BB37]

Another guy who can't hold Landry Jones' jock.

Amazing how much better Landry's gotten now that he's gone.

[bluedogok]

...at least the defense is looking a bit better than in the first half.

[Soonerjeepman]

Bob is too stubborn to switch QB's. Bob is too stubborn to do anything he doesn't want to do. Hope he enjoys Halloween this year. LOL

yup

[SOONER44EVER]

Let 'em enjoy themselves today. They still have Mack tomorrow. Mack looked pretty good today. Bob looks like an overrated idiot right now.

[BoomerJoeDon]

I'm not suprised we are loosing, I'm shocked we are loosing by so much.

[SOONER44EVER]

Amazing how much better Landry's gotten now that he's gone.Landry was always better than Bell.

[winout]

50+ yard pass,30+ yard pass TD, punt return TD, Pix Six... way too many big plays given up.

[BoomerJoeDon]

Good news is maybe Mack keeps his job

[Dixon]

...at least the defense is looking a bit better than in the first half.

Yes, but Texas is also just running the clock at this point.

[David Earl]

...at least the defense is looking a bit better than in the first half.

Yeah, defense has been a brighter spot on this thing.

[SOONER44EVER]

...at least the defense is looking a bit better than in the first half. I think their O is tired of running up and down the field.

[Soonerjeepman]

Whorn friends texting me saying "fire bob stoops too". They ain't said squat for weeks, now they coming out the woodwork like hungry roaches. Fags!!!

Okie...did you do that last yr? not baggin just curious, it seems when your (anyone's) team is down and pulls an upset the fans go a little overboard...but they are horns so maybe they are just $icks.

[bluedogok]

Yes, but Texas is also just running the clock at this point.
but in the first half they couldn't get them off the field when they ran the ball.

[birddog]

If Landry and venables team up in the nfl one day they would never lose a game. Undefeated for a lifetime

[SoonerKnight]

The O is horrible. The D first half was horrible!!! We suck cuz we losing the Texas!!

[SOONER44EVER]

I just realized we still have to play Baylor.

[cvsooner]

Bell can't throw it deep, and so we come out in all wide and short throws that don't go anywhere. And we get a holding penalty.

[Soonerjeepman]

lol..course..flag

[okiewaker]

Yes I'm pissed but, if things hold true for the rest of the game,,,at least i got beer and it's early!

[cvsooner]

Oh, my error. Hands to the face, not a hold. Same effect though.

[BB37]

I just realized we still have to play Baylor.

So does ut

[cvsooner]

Saunders open and overthrows. Just don't have it today, boys and girls. Not our day.

[SoonerKnight]

Why can't we just see Knight come in **** it!!

[Rogue]

Solid blocking there, WR with 2 steps on the DB, incomplete....that ain't on the coaches.

[Soonerjeepman]

well, this jack our stats up~ ;-)

[MyT Oklahoma]

Good news is maybe Mack keeps his job

Doubtful. I heard from a friend on Dallas/Fort Worth last night this is Mack's last year.

Hey Stoops, change your QB you numbskill.

[cvsooner]

2 of 11 on third down...no, 2 of 12 on third down. Third and 20. Ridiculous.

[SoonerKnight]

I feel sick!!

[Dixon]

Yes, but Texas is also just running the clock at this point.
but in the first half they couldn't get them off the field when they ran the ball.

Right, but now we know what is coming.

[SOONER44EVER]

So does ut Baylor might beat us by a hundred. I could care less who ut plays.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

Well, what do Bell, Bull's ***, and Bass Fiddle have to do with one another?

[Soonerjeepman]

good lord...munsburger..why don't you go blow robinson...

[BoomerJoeDon]

wow this is hard to watch, can't turn it off.

[David Earl]

If Landry and venables team up in the nfl one day they would never lose a game. Undefeated for a lifetime

Brilliant!

[SoonerKnight]

he has to repeat that!!!

[okiewaker]

If I was Bob after the game,,, I would walk into the lockeroom and yell """"F U C K""". Then walk out!

[Rogue]

Good news is maybe Mack keeps his job

There's the silver lining
