Official Game Thread: OU versus Texas (2013)

[ouflak]

Let's roll!

[SCSoonerfan]

In a cruel twist of fate the nationally televised game on abc is not going to be shown in Columbia Sc so I get to see the Razorbacks and Gamecocks. On that note. Tuck Fexas and Tuck Wolo abc in Columbia.

[King Crimson]

let's beat these guys and move on.

no foolin around. no let up.

no rivalry bs. win and come home.

[David Earl]

I want OU to score on every play... on both sides of the ball.

[olevetonahill]

In, High Bro.
SCfan I went thru that a few years back with the OU/Neb game supposed to be regionally broadcast here and the ABC station in Ft smith showed some SEC game. Pissed me off

[dennis580]

I think Bell will have a huge day running the ball. I am predicting 150 yards rushing for Bell.

[SCSoonerfan]

Wait it appears that maybe Soonersports.tv is going to stream the game. Maybe all is not lost.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

No Mercy!

[OUinFLA]

In
Hi Tony
Hi Howard

Boomer Sooner

[SCSoonerfan]

Woot it is on Soonersports.tv Thank god. Cant wait to get some Bevo Burgers on the grill at halftime.

[MyT Oklahoma]

It used to be a game, now its a party. LOL

Show no mercy and take no prisoners.

[fadada1]

great... musburger. when is he retiring???

[SanJoaquinSooner]

It's already 9:02 here on the west coast. Let's get this game started!!!

[David Earl]

Why oh why must Brent Musburger be the guy that calls this game?!

[David Earl]

great... musburger. when is he retiring???

Not soon enough.

[OUinFLA]

Not soon enough.

That's how I feel about me, too.

[Rogue]

In!

[okiewaker]

Got teh butterflies work'n

[MyT Oklahoma]

Its official.. Texas sucks!

[Therealsouthsider]

....Tuck Fexas!

ss

[BB37]

Checking in. FWIW, Merv's doing his usual radio commentary. Gotta be tough for him.

[MyT Oklahoma]

De-Fense!

[BB37]

False start. Third and long becomes third and longer.

[SCSoonerfan]

Come on D need this 3rd down stop.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Checking in. FWIW, Merv's doing his usual radio commentary. Gotta be tough for him.

Amen. But maybe he just needs to be around people right now too.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Our D looks weak right now.

[Rogue]

D. Alexander looking good

[cleller]

Alexander burned on last two first down throws, though.

[BB37]

ut showing some life.

[rm50]

Texas is all ground & pound... And doing a good job

[SCSoonerfan]

I hate 3rd down

[Soonerjeepman]

holy ****...we cannot stop them. Even we hit them they get 3 yrds...thank goodness we only gave up 3

[BB37]

ut FG try good. 0-3 ut.

[Rogue]

Damn, that was a good drive on their part. Time to wear that *** out

[Wishboned]

It used to be a game, now its a party. LOL

Show no mercy and take no prisoners.

Nobody told Texas. They're playing like they think they can win.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

Well I guess today will have to be the Sooners' first come from behind win of the season.

[Jacie]

If they hadn't stopped themselves, it would be 7-0 right now.

[Soonerjeepman]

I will add, I USUALLY don't get too excited about the first drive on offense or defense...BUT if our offense goes 3 and out it will not be a good sign. D needs some time to regroup

[achiro]

Alexander getting torched on pass

[okiewaker]

Smooooooove like butttta. Okay,,,enuf of that chit!

[cleller]

Too many folks counting on Texas laying down.

[rm50]

There goes the shut out!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Nice stop on third down, but defense isn't looking all that great so far. Let's hope it just nerves

[Rogue]

I love how Millard gets love every week. He's a stud. Good start!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Yeah baby.

[Soonerjeepman]

nice offensive play

[cleller]

Glad to hear Mike Stoops/Corey Nelson showing Alexander the errors. Couple big holes in coverage he left McCoy.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Move those chains boys. Move those chains.

[BB37]

Good pickup on 3rd down. Keith Ford enters the game.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Keith Ford = beast!

[Rogue]

K Ford in slot

[Soonerjeepman]

would really like a TD here

[Rogue]

D is missing Phillips and Nelson

[Soonerjeepman]

cmon boys

[Rogue]

The throw was perfect

[Jacie]

Where do you want it Clay?

[Soonerjeepman]

crap

[SCSoonerfan]

Come on Clay catch that ball.

[BB37]

Awww, crap Clay! Gotta catch those!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Comecon Brennan! That's should have been a td

[BB37]

Right in his hands, but no catch!

[dennis580]

Dont know why the announcers were blaming Bell. The ball went right through Clay's hands

[JLEW1818]

Should have caught it, but make a sharp throw to him.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Defense needs to step up now and then we will be fine. We can wear these people out.

[Indy Sooner]

No blood.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Ok we gave them their three PTs for the game

[David Earl]

Dont know why the announcers were blaming Bell. The ball went right through Clay's hands

Clay should have caught it, but Blake did put the ball just a hair to the outside.

[MyT Oklahoma]

News flash........ Texas sucks! Film at 11.

[Soonerjeepman]

the good news is we won the toss...that is usually a great sign. I think in 2000 we won every toss...and game....

[Jacie]

Wouldn't you hate to be in the sa*et band standing in the end zone?

[David Earl]

UT moving our middle a little too much for my preferences.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Dig in D. Dig in.

[Soonerjeepman]

up the gut...Phillips out hurts

[MyT Oklahoma]

Wouldn't you hate to be in the sa*et band standing in the end zone?

I would rather be standing where I could see their women. LOL

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Huge holes right up the middle

[Jacie]

Winning first down is how we stop these guys.

[David Earl]

up the gut...Phillips out hurts

Yup. And Nelson.

[cleller]

They are clearly exploiting the loss of Phillips and Nelson, and we are not stopping it.

[Soonerjeepman]

better figure out the up the gut play. Why would Tx change..hell, I'd go up the middle til we stopped them

[SCSoonerfan]

I still hate 3rd down.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Come on defense hold'em on third down

[David Earl]

??

[MyT Oklahoma]

Oh f****!

[Soonerjeepman]

FUUU&&&&KKKKK

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Here we go with flags

[BB37]

Crap. Bogus call.

[David Earl]

Hit as he throws is roughing the passer?!

[MyT Oklahoma]

Oh this sucks. Every call going to UT. This sucks.

[SCSoonerfan]

Fumble

[David Earl]

Ball was rolling out before elbow hit ground.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

That's a fumble!

[MyT Oklahoma]

That was a d*** fumble. The ball was out.

[BB37]

That's a fumble. Whether the refs agree or not is another story.

[Jacie]

Does a butt = a knee?

[dennis580]

Thats a fumble

[cleller]

We are being ****ed.

[Temujin]

That's a fumble. And Blackledge needs to shut up about the targeting, it wasn't targeting.

[fadada1]

fumble, folks.

[David Earl]

That's a fumble. Whether the refs agree or not is another story.

Yup. Ask ISU

[Jacie]

Well, it should be OUr ball.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Texas cheats. Texas cheats. Texas cheats. And has for years.

[Soonerjeepman]

THATs a fumble...

HE DIDN'T HIT HIM ABOVE THE SHOULDERS...dumb ***...on top of that the play before the receiver WAS NOT IN BOUNDS even when he caught it.

[dennis580]

Does a butt = a knee?

It does but i didnt see his butt hit the ground

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This should be an easy call! Meanwhile enough about the hit in McCoy!

[MyT Oklahoma]

YES!

[cleller]

We is getting jobbed.

[David Earl]

I'll admit, I'm surprised we got the review on that one.

[SCSoonerfan]

Damn strait it was a fumble. Lets Go O

[rm50]

Offense!!

[HolaKyle]

THATs a fumble...

HE DIDN'T HIT HIM ABOVE THE SHOULDERS...dumb ***...on top of that the play before the receiver WAS NOT IN BOUNDS even when he caught it.

His foot was out when he caught it. These refs are already being ridiculous, especially with this fumble

[Temujin]

Damn, the announcers DESPERATELY wanted that to be a targeting. It wasn't close idiots, so STFU already.

[dennis580]

The refs got the review right

[Indy Sooner]

That's a fumble. And Blackledge needs to shut up about the targeting, it wasn't targeting.

Blackledge is part of the pussification movement in this country.

[JLEW1818]

Was the push out a bad call?

[BB37]

I guess it was too obvious to deny.

[Soonerjeepman]

That's a fumble. And Blackledge needs to shut up about the targeting, it wasn't targeting.

no carp...he's an idiot

[MyT Oklahoma]

Go OU, beat the referees. Go OU, beat the referees. Go OU, beat the referees.

[Rogue]

Striker's hit just looked bad b/c McCoy was so off balance and got flipped

[David Earl]

Was the push out a bad call?

I thought so.

[David Earl]

Striker's hit just looked bad b/c McCoy was so off balance and got flipped

Striker did not hit his head or face mask. Bad call.

[MyT Oklahoma]

no carp...he's an idiot

You do remember when the Chiefs drafted him, right? They should have chose Dan Marino. LOL

[okiewaker]

Soooooo,,,WTF,,, is Stryker gone or what. Sh!t this broadcast is a debacle. On another note,,,Mushy said his knee was down,,HIS KNEE WAS WAS UPWARD stupid

[BB37]

Damn, the announcers DESPERATELY wanted that to be a targeting. It wasn't close idiots, so STFU already.

That's why I don't listen to the TV announcers. Watch on TV, listen to Toby and Merv on the radio.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Josh, loosen up the playbook.

[David Earl]

Not a targeting call so Striker is still in.

[Rogue]

Striker's hit and the coverage were great! And Shannon's forced fumble was a great play. Offense looks kinda sluggish

[David Earl]

Rats!

[SCSoonerfan]

Sigh

[Cajun]

WTF

[MyT Oklahoma]

That's why I don't listen to the TV announcers. Watch on TV, listen to Toby and Merv on the radio.

Amen. Same here.

P.S. That interception sucked.

[BB37]

Not good at all.

[JLEW1818]

Take the sack Landry Jones

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Stupid stupid stupid. Not feeling too optimistic about this one boys

[fadada1]

well folks, it looks as though we might have a game on our hands today.

[cvsooner]

Damn. Helluva time for your first interception.

[JLEW1818]

We just feel mechanical

[David Earl]

Bell throws a pick six. I guess he was due an INT, but ugh...

[Soonerjeepman]

yup...thinkin we are just flat. ut is pumped up. We'll see.

[cvsooner]

I was trying to tell everyone in the past few days that I think we'll win but it's going to be tough.

[dennis580]

Looks like he was short

[MyT Oklahoma]

well folks, it looks as though we might have a game on our hands today.

^^ This.

[fadada1]

and how about a flag on the texas sideline for celebration.

[David Earl]

I can't even stand to hear Musburger say "A-B-C".

[JLMSOONER]

All of the sunshine pumping all week and tejas **** in the dirt, you know they are gonna come out hard. We need to puncha couple in on them and then they will remember how to play their normal game!

[cvsooner]

Just sloppy stuff. Clay drops a pass he usually catches. Bell doesn't throw it away or pull it down and run...defensive middle getting pushed back. Need to get it together and decide what they're made of. Texas will fold if we can stuff them a few times. The fumble was a great place to start but now....

[Soonerjeepman]

we'll get to see what we REALLY are made of this game. It really seems this game is determined by emotional swings....for the last 20 yrs I've watched. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

[David Earl]

So, we've ran the ball well, but it's interesting we've had no called QB run plays yet.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

I may be drunk by 10:15 a.m.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Settle down boys its gonna be a long game.

[JLMSOONER]

Let's run into a pile!

[Dixon]

Maybe this is what our teams needs to clear their heads and understand that Texas has prideful athletes over there that view this as their championship game.

We need to stay on plan and wear them down.

[dennis580]

I would like to see Bell scramble a little more. I wonder if that Int will get him to scramble more

[MyT Oklahoma]

Yeah, thats more like it Blake.

[Soonerjeepman]

No, Bell does have TD pass this game...just to wrong guy! lol

[Soonerjeepman]

Let's run into a pile!

and again..

[David Earl]

UT fans are wondering where this team has been all season.

BYU fans are wondering why we're not calling QB run plays.

[Soonerjeepman]

long 3rd down..

[rm50]

Texas D is playing very good

[cvsooner]

End of first quarter. Not our best football this season.

[Therealsouthsider]

...Id like to see a little more attack, a run control approach will only keep the scoring down and help uterus

ss

[Soonerjeepman]

we really need to go down and get a TD

[Temujin]

I would be embarrassed if I were Josh Heupel. Being outwitted by Greg Robinson, who's overseen some of the worst defenses in college and NFL history, is not something you want on your resume.

[cvsooner]

Man, nearly a second osky. Blake needs to start running.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Geez Blake that pass sucked.

[BB37]

4th down, end of Q1.

[David Earl]

...Id like to see a little more attack

Bell is not that kind of QB, at least not yet.

[JLMSOONER]

Do we have an eye doctor on the medical staff. Blake needs to do the color blind test.

[Jack T.]

First game in 2 years I've heard Mushburger call. Not sure I can stomach much more of him.

[dennis580]

UT fans are wondering where this team has been all season.

BYU fans are wondering why we're not calling QB run plays.

I am wondering that to. We need to pound them with Bell.

[David Earl]

I would be embarrassed if I were Josh Heupel. Being outwitted by Greg Robinson, who's overseen some of the worst defenses in college and NFL history, is not something you want on your resume.

I'm sure there are reasons Josh is not calling any QB runs, zone reads, draws or whatever.

But I'm not sure what those reasons might be.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We look confused, unsure of ourselves, and more like how I thought Texas would look. Here's hoping we can show more emotion starting in the 2nd qtr

[achiro]

Bell throwing behind the receivers.

[stoopified]

Where is qb run game? Option? That is where the Whorns are weak.

[JLEW1818]

All starts with the Clay dropped TD.

[David Earl]

People, it is not at all surprising UT is playing well. Our D is not playing too bad, just missing our starting DT and LB.

Our O... is another story.

[cvsooner]

I was rewatching the TCU game a couple of days ago and Blake had sevral near interceptions then. Texas must have seen something in film.

[Jacie]

What's up with Musberger? Twice he called Lacolton Bester "Jackson".

[JLEW1818]

Bell is horrible at passing. Texas is throwing it all on the line, they have nothing to lose, at all.

[David Earl]

Bell throwing behind the receivers.

Does it seem like Bell throws better on the rollout than he does from the pocket?

[Soonerjeepman]

I know it's a long game...but 1/4th done and we do not look good, on O or D. Like I said earlier, I think emotional swings are huge. The horns are riding high right now...D has stopped us 3 times, 1 FG, 1 D TD and now 3rd down. It seems we have lost out offensive identity. We got stopped running early so JH goes to the air....even though ut is horrible against the run...1 is intercepted for a TD by a frickin LINEMAN and then one is almost picked off.

[Indy Sooner]

I'm sure there are reasons Josh is not calling any QB runs, zone reads, draws or whatever.

But I'm not sure what those reasons might be.

He's had a few streaks of decent play-calling over the years, but at some point you must ask yourself...

[cvsooner]

Okay, we lost the first quarter. Time to win the rest of them.

[cvsooner]

Mack Brown as Napoleon. Heh.

[dennis580]

Mack Brown- Napoleon? You have got to be kidding me

[Jacie]

Nice comparisons, Stoops and Brown as Wellington and Napoleon . . .

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Musberger......go away

[Temujin]

I see Mack as more of a General Custer.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Well at least Ford came to play today.

[cvsooner]

Keith Ford can tackle. Who knew?

[Therealsouthsider]

Bell is not that kind of QB, at least not yet.

....he's been on campus for four years, I think it's time

ss

[cvsooner]

D. That's more like it.

[BB37]

Just lost the radio feed.

[MyT Oklahoma]

I see Mack as more of a General Custer.

I thought Mack was General Custer. LOL

[dennis580]

I see Mack as more of a General Custer.

That would be more accurate.

[Soonerjeepman]

striker likes to use his hands up high...hope he doesn't get called for illegal stuff

[cvsooner]

Damn. 3rd and 9 and we miss a tackle.

[David Earl]

Ugh...

[SCSoonerfan]

Sob missed tackles

[Soonerjeepman]

jeezes fricking crap...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This is just hard to watch

[MyT Oklahoma]

Our defense f-ing sucks. 42 you got blocked out.

[JLEW1818]

Out coached

[JLMSOONER]

Good thing we have a good run D.

[Rogue]

Alexander was as ate up as a soup sandwich there.

[Temujin]

I thought Mack was General Custer. LOL

Makes a LOT more sense than Napoleon. Of course, with ESPN paying for the Bonghorn Network, you know they're bound to give Mack more credit than he deserves.

[cvsooner]

C'mon, /d. You haven't played like this all season. Not now

[JLEW1818]

Our DLine is high school size

[Jacie]

Brown is killing OUr D . . .

[BB37]

Getting gouged in the run game.

[Soonerjeepman]

wow...we are sucking, if I were the horns I'd run every frickin down

[agoo758]

This is ****ing embarrassing. Both sides of the ball.

[rm50]

Texas is controlling the line of scrimmage

[JLMSOONER]

Good thing Mushy worked all night on that

[Wishboned]

When did last year's defense come back?

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

I think theres been some horrible uniform mixup.

[SCSoonerfan]

Just cant stop the run today.

[Therealsouthsider]

....our dline is getting handled, Cory out is killing us

ss

[BB37]

Power out in the press box. Sounds like Toby's doing PBP over a cellphone.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This could get really bad. We miss Phillips and nelson

[cvsooner]

The way Wade played last week I thought the middle would be okay. Doesn't look like it. Texas going for it on 4th? Yep. Why not?

[MyT Oklahoma]

We need some D really quick.

[Temujin]

Without our best "defensive" linebacker? Is there a such thing as an offensive linebacker?

[JLMSOONER]

Missing our 2 starters on D

[okiewaker]

It don't even look like our guys wanna play today.

[Soonerjeepman]

ok, so they run into the pile and still get 3 yrds, we run into a pile and lose yards

[David Earl]

Thanks McCoy

[Indy Sooner]

It's 11 on 10. The Nelson loss is huge.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nice. Thanks for being you Mack. LOL

[BB37]

First stop of the day.

[Jacie]

How bonehead a call was that?

[SCSoonerfan]

Got lucky there. That guy was wide the freak open.

[Soonerjeepman]

LOL..geeze what a frickin idiot...ut you should have run WIDE or a better QB ...due was WIIDDEEE open.

[cvsooner]

Good pressure by Striker. We hold on fourth down. Cool! Shoulda kicked it.

[David Earl]

Missing our 2 starters on D

This

[Therealsouthsider]

...Mack has spittle on his chin...ha!

ss

[cvsooner]

Okay, O needs to settle down, long drive and tie this thing up. Have to tackle better on D. Our D is looking like Texas' has been playing.

[Soonerjeepman]

We dodged a bullet there.

[Dixon]

Got lucky there. That guy was wide the freak open.

Yep. Better lucky than good.

Come on Sooners!

[David Earl]

We dodged a bullet there.

If McCoy completes that pass it may have been a TD. The pressure worked.

[okiewaker]

If I was Mack,,,I'd go for it on 4th and short all day. They are gashing us. That last 4th was just a bad pass. It had TD written all over it.

[mhackl]

Mussberger is drunk

[cvsooner]

Need to stop trying to pass. We are a running team this season. Do so.

[Soonerjeepman]

WHY ARE WE FRICKIN THROWING>>>>>>>uugghhhh

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I know our offense isn't all world, but geez this is ridiculous

[MyT Oklahoma]

TK please start warming up.

[David Earl]

Man, our offense is a comedy of errors right now.

[fadada1]

dudes, bell is completely off.

[BB37]

Stumbling around on offense.

[Temujin]

Run the friggin ball already. Please.

[Therealsouthsider]

...behind the chains again...geez, what's new

ss
