Official Game Thread: OU versus Kansas

[landrun]

Gotta make a change, somewhere. This is embarrassing.

Head coach. That's where.

[soonercastor]

Why the hell did they decline it? Lol

[dennis580]

go for it go for it

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Oh my god we are terrible...in all areas. All areas

[Okie35]

BV is in Clemson sitting pretty.

[SCSoonerfan]

omg this is just sad.

[soonercastor]

Implosion...

[instigator]

What an amazing cluster ****.

[dennis580]

amazing

[SoCalBigRed]

Wow... again... just wow.

[Sooner02]

It's clear Bob doesn't have this team ready at all.

[HolaKyle]

Please get Bell out of there.

Last week: 12/26 for 133 and 2 INT
This week: 2/5 and holding onto the ball way too long

[kenth68]

holy cow

[landrun]

LOL!! How imcompetent!!! Great coaching right there.

yeah Stoops!!! You're the best.

[SoonerMachine]

We are the Bad News Bears!!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

You have got to be kidding me!!!! What the **** us going on ?

[instigator]

Yes. I'm okay with this. Bad things happen when we try to pass. By contrast, when we run thing are merely mediocre.

Awesome. :D

[Landthief 1972]

Nice job calling a timeout, Stoopid.

[Judge Smails]

Someone in Normal go stick a For Sale sign in Stoops yard. Both of them.

[Jacie]

I am sad.

[JLEW1818]

They all suck. Coaches too. This is how programs go downhill

[EatLeadCommie]

Lol. What a sh**show

[dennis580]

absolutely pathetic we cannt get off the 4th down play. Why didnt somebody call timeout.

[Okie35]

Head coach. That's where.

No... Personnel unless Bob remains too loyal.

[Landthief 1972]

Can we just transfer this thread to the meltdown thread?

[Rogue]

Bring on Trevor

[Ruf/Nek7]

That should never happen. This offense...smh

[tulsaoilerfan]

2 weeks in a row we get a delay on a crucial 4th down

[fadada1]

WHO THE **** IS COACHING THIS TEAM!???!!?!?!!!!!

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

That delay of game was kind of bogus - when the referee announced the result of the penalty it was at 20 seconds.

[landrun]

They all suck. Coaches too. This is how programs go downhill

No. This is what happens when a program has already gone downhill but too many fans are in denial.

[Rogue]

Can we just transfer this thread to the meltdown thread?

:D

yup

[kenth68]

the head's firmly in the *** and the mind's in arkansas

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This is absolutely ****ing stupid. I can't recall the last time I aw a sooners to this ineffective in every aspect of the game. We should not have such a dramatic drop off because of nelson going down.

[okiewaker]

Smh,,,smh. Sigh.......

[rm50]

Remember the days when we could run a play in time in a pressure situation

[BB37]

Last loss to KU was in 1997, in the Bleak years.

[Rogue]

Johnny M just threw a pick after a video game scramble to avoid getting sacked

[Sooner02]

I was just watching some youtube of the 90s era Sooners this week. This team looks WORSE so far.

[olevetonahill]

I'm not sure an 11-11-11 would help us.

Heh

[westbrooke]

Huard pointed out a play earlier in the game where the WRs couldn't get open. At this point, I don't even care about blame. Bell, WRs, whoever, the passing game just isn't working. Commit to the run. And if we're not going to cut Bell loose to run over people, give it to Knight or Thomspon to run around them.

[soonercastor]

I guess the great punt didn't matter

[Judge Smails]

Our program needs an enema.

[Landthief 1972]

We should just pave a road for that Jayhawk *******.

[landrun]

They're getting about 8 yards a run.

This is the worst team in the Big XII .... well... next to us.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Maybe we need to break out the numbered mat from the Blake era? Someone needs to go. It should be 21-0 by now....

[kenth68]

leave it to oklahoma to make kansas look good. i'll never know why when we lose, we lose big. it's never a fight like other teams lose.

[LA.SoonerFan]

Well, there's a good game on CBS

[SoCalBigRed]

I'm about to turn this **** off.

Not good for my blood pressure, which ultimately, is really bad for my health.

If they win, they win... but this does not bode well, for the season.

[FaninAma]

The Sooner rowing team looks pretty strong again this year. They just killed Texas in the Head Of the Oklahoma Regatta 2 weeks ago. Should make it back to the NCAA championships again this year.

Does that help?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We're losing to Kansas. Kansas

[landrun]

Maybe we need to break out the numbered mat from the Blake era? Someone needs to go. It should be 21-0 by now....

This program is becoming as big a joke now as it was then. Minues the twister mat an the fake kickoffs.

[Soonerus]

What the H happened to "little game" Bob ???

[Judge Smails]

And by 13-0.



We're losing to Kansas. Kansas

[SoonerPride]

Ugly with a capital ugh.

[EatLeadCommie]

I honestly don't think our backups could perform worse at this point. Throw in third stringers

[SoCalBigRed]

All anger aside... this program isn't even close to the Blake era. Either short memories, or very young.

That and Smellsofbourbon are the absolute low of the low... and we're not close to that.

[LA.SoonerFan]

I think we will come back and defeat mighty Kansas

[dennis580]

cannt keep dropping Ints

[soonercastor]

Sanchez come the **** on bro

[Soonerus]

I honestly don't think our backups could perform worse at this point. Throw in third stringers


agreed or just play without a d-line...

[westbrooke]

Dammit that's two picks we should have had now. We aren't good enough to let chances like those go.

[HolaKyle]

We can't even catch interceptions...

[landrun]

We're losing to Kansas. Kansas

But they're really good! And besides, Switzer lost to Kansas that one time in the 80's when he shouldn't have so it's all fine.

[okiedokie]

Catch that dang interception?
,!!

[Dixon]

I honestly don't think our backups could perform worse at this point. Throw in third stringers

This is a good idea. We likely have some talent on the sideline that would bring new energy to the game. Our D front looks like they were drugged.

[SoCalBigRed]

But they're really good! And besides, Switzer lost to Kansas that one time in the 80's when he shouldn't have so it's all fine.

Switzer lost to Kansas AT HOME, during an undefeated season.

Let's not candy coat it. I was there and it was WAY worse, than this. And WAY more embarrassing.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Watching ESPN in Brisbane at 6 in the morning...first they jump over OU for the Stanford game, now I have to watch in game highlights of KU scoring... Sheesh, time for breakfast...

this program is way too complacent and no game Bob has become drunk on big contracts and has lost the ability to coach up a team...

[landrun]

All anger aside... this program isn't even close to the Blake era. Either short memories, or very young.

That and Smellsofbourbon are the absolute low of the low... and we're not close to that.

We're too close for my comfort my friend. I know what you're saying and though we might not be that bad ... yet... this program is no where near as good as some of our fans like to think we are.

[HolaKyle]

Can Bell stop dancing and throw the ball!

[fadada1]

All anger aside... this program isn't even close to the Blake era. Either short memories, or very young.

That and Smellsofbourbon are the absolute low of the low... and we're not close to that.
totally true. today's performance, so far, would've been seen as miraculous in 1997.

[Dixon]

Bell is lost. Get him out of the game. Where is Thompson? I'd like to see what he can do.

[BB37]

Picked off...

[Rogue]

You have GOT to be sh!tting me!

[dennis580]

pass interference

[SoCalBigRed]

Meltdown...

[soonercastor]

If Bell attempts one more pass...

[fadada1]

i think it's time to take bell out.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Monkey ****ing a football

[BB37]

That was a gift...

[KillJoy208]

This is unwatchable.

[ObiKaTony]

Bell has some major happy feet...

[Sooner02]

I'm through with Bell. He's not performing at all.

[dennis580]

clear pass intereference

[SoCalBigRed]

INT that was possible because of a mauling. Its erased, over. Doesn't exist.

[HolaKyle]

Either way, bad decision by Bell. He threw it into double-coverage. Get him out of there.

[Rogue]

This is absolutely ****ing stupid. I can't recall the last time I aw a sooners to this ineffective in every aspect of the game. We should not have such a dramatic drop off because of nelson going down.
Nelson, Knight, and Phillips. But still.

[Sooner02]

Holy %&*% A PASS COMPLETION

[BB37]

Longest completed pass since the ND game.

[dennis580]

i think it's time to take bell out.

Um the only reaoisn that was int was because of blantant pass interference

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Bell has some major happy feet...
Reminder of Landry and his happy feet...

[westbrooke]

Do my eyes deceive me? Was that pass more than 10 yards downfield?

[LA.SoonerFan]

Lets go ahead and kick the field goal

[HolaKyle]

Um the only reaoisn that was int was because of blantant pass interference

Dennis, you keep getting things wrong.

Either way it was a throw into double-coverage.

[dennis580]

Longest completed pass since the ND game.

bells arm is underrated

[SoCalBigRed]

Third down again...

[okiedokie]

Freakin huddle up or take ur time....rushing

crap plays don't work

[SoonerKnight]

Can we score on Kansas????????? TD?

[OUinFLA]

absolutely pathetic we cannt get off the 4th down play. Why didnt somebody call timeout.

Cause we save them for meaningful times like 4th and 11 from our own 35

[Soonerus]

Lord, please let us out of this abyss...

[Okie35]

Bring on Trevor

I really don't see why he's not in on running plays like for zone reads

[dennis580]

The few times Bell has been given a chance to throw deep he has faired pretty well. its just that he doesnt get many chances to throw deep because of horrible play calling

[SoCalBigRed]

SO Coach Josh... if Bell can't pass the ball past 10 yds and we've been working on having a more physical running style and we've shown that it does indeed work... why aren't we using it?

[tulsaoilerfan]

Well everyone wanted more running now we have 3rd and 12

[dennis580]

Do my eyes deceive me? Was that pass more than 10 yards downfield?

Yes Bell is actually pretty decent at it. heupel just doesnt give him a chance to do it very often

[OUinFLA]

Reminder of Landry and his happy feet...

I think we coach that to them in August

[SoonerKnight]

Put Knight in there change the pace!!!

[okiewaker]

We gotta run clock!

[ObiKaTony]

Gentlemen: really is a bad offense...long seasons ahead, and we don't have a clue who we are...

Never thought Id say this but I wish Landry was back, not because he would be any different from last year, but because if we are going to run an offense that requires a qb like Landry jones to be back there, then why even put a dual q back there to begin wih

[BB37]

TD JAZZ!!!

[Ruf/Nek7]

Where is the team that took it to ND?

[soonerfan69]

About time

[SoCalBigRed]

There isn't any passion out on that field.

This surprises me from Bell, who I always saw as such a fired up, motivator.

Those damn happy feet, from last year are back however.

TD, finally!

[kenth68]

finally

[dennis580]

Like i said bell's arm is underrated

[Okie35]

Freakin huddle up or take ur time....rushing

crap plays don't work

It's been like that since Landry I don't know why we rush and end up with 1 yard.

[westbrooke]

And another one!

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

This OL is so inconsistent blocking the run. 1st and 2nd down 3 guys run free.

[olevetonahill]

bells arm is underrated

Ur an idiot.

[BB37]

And then we miss the PAT...

[SoonerKnight]

I got way to happy for a game agains Kansas!!!

[Okie35]

Like i said bell's arm is underrated

His arm is fine his accuracy past 15 yards isn't good.

[Sooners78]

Nelson, Knight, and Phillips. But still.

Mostly Phillips. Knight, not at all.

[dennis580]

Heupel just needs to give Bell more chances to throw deep instead of constantly calling short pass plays.

[okiedokie]

Well I knew I was only gonna be happy for a minute......then missed extra point.

[tulsaoilerfan]

And we miss the xp

[kenth68]

is the wind up? two missed points after in the game

[Dixon]

I guess our kicker wanted to get in on the performance. Good grief.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Wow, Bell started uncorking the ball instead of throwing touch passes downfield. Amazing the difference there.

[HolaKyle]

Ur an idiot.

haha couldn't have said it better

[SoCalBigRed]

And we miss the extra point.

I just don't see this going well. Everything is going against us. Bounces, calls, motivation, coaching...

Please, let's just see some fired up players on the field. That's all it will take to turn this around. Come out and play like you OWN it.

[dennis580]

Basically the play calling should be pound Blake between the tackles, and then take some deep shots

[Ruf/Nek7]

When was the last time two PATs were missed in a game?

[Okie35]

Where is the team that took it to ND?

It won't be here all year. Corey is gone. I know he plays defense but it takes a toll on everyone.

[Rogue]

ZOMG, Blake Bell is the greastest ever! Touchdown Oklahoma. Time for Trevor.

[rm50]

Just when I thought things were getting better, we miss the extra point

[ObiKaTony]

This. If he's any good, he'll learn from his mistake. He's the only guy we have that's been reading the right hole and doesn't go down every time a KU player is within 5 feet of him.


Basically the play calling should be pound Blake between the tackles, and then take some deep shots


Ding ding ding ding...the tebow offense!

[BB37]

Holding KU

[BB37]

New QB for KU, BTW...

[kenth68]

they just stood there while he stepped past them... holding or not, only one got held. he stepped right through them

[SoonerMachine]

Gentlemen: really is a bad offense...long seasons ahead, and we don't have a clue who we are...

Never thought Id say this but I wish Landry was back, not because he would be any different from last year, but because if we are going to run an offense that requires a qb like Landry jones to be back there, then why even put a dual q back there to begin wih

Yep...

[dennis580]

Wow, Bell started uncorking the ball instead of throwing touch passes downfield. Amazing the difference there.

Like I said his arm is underrated. people say balke cannt throw downfield, and that is just a flat out lie. The problem is heupel calls nothing but short pass plays for him.

[SoCalBigRed]

We need to stop them and score before half.

[instigator]

You mean you can bring in a second QB?

[OUinFLA]

I like their new qb

[instigator]

I like their new qb

Heh

[SoCalBigRed]

At least we've had fortunate field position in the 2nd quarter.

[kenth68]

now this is what kansas is supposed to look like

[BB37]

Wow, a 3 and out for the Defense, and a Blocked punt through the EZ for a safety!

[okiewaker]

Okay KU,keep the backup in so we can win. Thx

[instigator]

I'll take 2.

[soonerfan69]

Well it's getting interesting at least

[okiedokie]

oMG!!

[dennis580]

YES now the momenteum is with us

[SoCalBigRed]

Sweet! Makes up for that missed extra point.

[landrun]

WOW.... its been a long time since we blocked a kick. Even against Kansas, I'm glad to see that.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Like I said his arm is underrated. people say balke cannt throw downfield, and that is just a flat out lie. The problem is heupel calls nothing but short pass plays for him.

The problem isn't that they don't throw long plays, it is that he tries to touch pass all of them. When he rifles it he has success.

[fadada1]

HEY!!!!!

this is like a Pop Warner game - seriously.

[OUinFLA]

well, now we know where those 2 missed pats went.



to us !!!!!!!

[SoCalBigRed]

At least they recognized KU has a huge weakness down the middle of that punt protection.

[SoCalBigRed]

Still need to put points on the board, before half.

[Ruf/Nek7]

Give Coach Boulware a RAISE! Trying something different around here

[okiedokie]

Sure am glad we are playing KU this week and not anybody else.....even though we haven't won yet, we are at least in the game

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

That was the most emotion I've seen in three weeks

[BB37]

Nice runback by Finch!

[SoCalBigRed]

NICE return FInch!

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

btw, whoever on the KU coaching staff decided that it would be a good idea to run at Tapper that last series was seriously mistaken.

[dennis580]

wow what a tough run by finch ran over a guy

[OUinFLA]

yea Roy

you just quit 50 yds short.

[landrun]

I know we have a lot of good back, but Finch needs more carries.

[BB37]

TD SHEPARD!!!!

[soonerfan69]

Well Hello

[SoCalBigRed]

YES!!! RIVERBOAT BOB!

[instigator]

Holy crap. We can do that??

[kenth68]

holy ****!!

[SoonerCLF]

What?! A trick play.. I'm floored

[landrun]

A trick play that worked for us! :)

That was fun. :)

[colleyvillesooner]

Well **** me.

[soonercastor]

When's the last time?

[fadada1]

WOW!!! What the **** was that?????

[OUinFLA]

LOL
Vintage 2000

[dennis580]

Order is restored

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Holy crap maybe scuba should be our QB

[Rogue]

Trickeration. Too bad we have to pull out all the stops against KU. Might as well have fun though.

[Okie35]

Our offense is so bad we had to result to trick plays but I'll take it

[okiedokie]

Maybe Bester is next QB??

[instigator]

Just too bad we had to show it against KU.

[westbrooke]

Um... Bester for QB?

[Dixon]

Give credit where credit is due. Great call at a time when we needed to quickly step on their neck. Nice.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Looks like we found a qb!!

[SanJoaquinSooner]

heupel is a genius! extend his contract!

[limey_sooner]

I know he was wide open but that's a pretty damn good pass.

[SoonerKnight]

Bester for QB!!!!

[BB37]

They said on the radio Bester was a QB in HS.

[EatLeadCommie]

Pretty bad when you need trickery to beat KU.

[olevetonahill]

Bester Pass of the Day LOL

[SoonerKnight]

Christ play him at QB!!!!

[fadada1]

someone must've snuck out to the can on that play.

[okiewaker]

Best throw I've seen all year! Beater for QB?

[westbrooke]

I agree, it's a little galling we have to depend on trickeration against Kansas. But I'd rather do that than lose.

[tulsaoilerfan]

That was a great pass by Bester

[Ruf/Nek7]

Best play call of the day...uswd the same play to win a game two weeks ago

[BB37]

KU's put their starting QB back in the game.

[SoCalBigRed]

I so love hearing Shepard's name being called. Love legacy players!

[okiewaker]

Uhh I mean BESTER

[dennis580]

Bester Pass of the Day LOL

No that 25 yard bullet by bell was better

[SoCalBigRed]

Pretty bad trickery?

Are you all nuts? You remember how Bob built us back up to prominence? By taking gambles. Trick plays. Timely plays. Momentum changing plays.

[BB37]

Wow, two consecutive 3 and outs!

Or not...

[KillJoy208]

Apparently it takes me turning off the game for OU's fortune to change.

[westbrooke]

No that 25 yard bullet by bell was better

Are you Blake's dad or something?

[Johnny Utah]

I so love hearing Shepard's name being called. Love legacy players!

Yes especially considering Sterlings situation.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

#90 - Dimon is playing well out there in the middle (he blocked the punt too).

[landrun]

The trick play was a good call and fun to watch. I have no problem with it.

So, we've blocked a kicked and scored on a trick play all in under 30 seconds in the same game. Its been so long since I've seen either I'll gladly take them. Even against Kansas.

[Judge Smails]

Wow, Charlie is massive.

I wonder if he has his own gravitational field?

[SoCalBigRed]

Apparently it takes me turning off the game for OU's fortune to change.

You turned it off?

WHOA. You are the one, then. You can't turn it back on.

Sorry, friend... but someone has to fall on the sword.

[Breadburner]

#90 - Dimon is playing well out there in the middle (he blocked the punt too).

Yep...I like the hell out of him....!!!

[okiedokie]

boomer!!!

[SoonerKnight]

I was giggling after that play!!! Let's stop them!!

[BB37]

Apparently it takes me turning off the game for OU's fortune to change.

Then how 'bout taking a nice long nap, huh?

[OUinFLA]

Wow, Charlie is massive.

I wonder if he has his own gravitational field?

The Golden Corral near KU has closed

[BB37]

OK, NOW its a 3 and out.

[dennis580]

Are you Blake's dad or something?

No, but i cannt understand why people dont understand Bell's potential. Also I have a bias in favor of powerful 255 pound QBs that can run.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Discipline check - OU

[soonercastor]

Risky there Saunders

[dennis580]

wow nice fielding by sanders

[SoonerMachine]

I like misdirection, it should used often.

[SoCalBigRed]

So we're all in agreement? KillJoy is BANNED from tuning into the game.

He can stay in chat... he's obviously the Sooner Magic today and must stay true to it!

[westbrooke]

Wow, risky return, Jalen.

[BB37]

The Golden Corral near KU has closed

Mangino was responsible for that...

[SoCalBigRed]

Ugh... 3rd down.

[OUinFLA]

I wish the Tenn game had gone into overtime.

Perhaps I would have missed the 1st qtr of our game

[SoCalBigRed]

THROWS A DART!

Keep doing that!

[BB37]

Complete to Shepard, first down at the 18.

[dennis580]

another great throw.

[landrun]

Bell throws well when the throws it on a rope nice and quick.

[Mac94]

Great catch by Sheppard

[westbrooke]

Damn, that was a tough grab by Sterling.

[instigator]

Strong catch Shep!

[okiedokie]

okay Shepard is the real deal!

[olevetonahill]

No that 25 yard bullet by bell was better

Like I said Ur an Idiot.

[Landthief 1972]

I guess the drunker I get, the better we play.

[dennis580]

why would anybody want to go back to Knight or try thompsom. Bell has had a good season

[Ruf/Nek7]

Shepard is a ****ing stud. What a catch.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Okay I think at this point, its apparent that the problem was Bell's velocity. He's zipping it around out there now and we are able to get some clean catches and runs.

[SoCalBigRed]

Bell throws well when the throws it on a rope nice and quick.

Yes, he does.

[TXBOOMER]

Step into throse throws all day long!

[Johnny Utah]

No, but i cannt understand why people dont understand Bell's potential. Also I have a bias in favor of powerful 255 pound QBs that can run.

I agree and think that so far this season he hasn't always been put in the best situation to succeed.

[dennis580]

we wasted too much time

[SoCalBigRed]

Bad clock management.

[Ruf/Nek7]

I guess the drinker I get, the better we play.

Me too! 3 beers and 2 margaritas! Got to make a run at half.
