Official Game Thread: OU versus Clemson

[ouhomer123]

We are officially the joke of the big 12.

[BoulderSooner79]

I'm not sure I can sit through another half of this.

You should get up and stretch anyway.

[rock on sooner]

Bob will step down before the first game next year...
If the second half looks like the first half, then you are wrong...it will be before the first of
January....okay, the first of February...either that or 75-80% of the ENTIRE staff....this is
just incredible...it was expected that Blake's teams would be like this...but, really? Wow,
just wow....

[SoonerorLater]

On a more positive note it looks like the weather is nice in Orlando.

[birddog]

Well at least they will make some coaching changes. There's just no way they can keep all of these current coaches. No chance

[rock on sooner]

We are officially the joke of the big 12.

Who's laughing? This aint f*****g funny!

[REDREX]

A new LOW

[swardboy]

I wonder how much money will be lost on the betting for this game..?

[ouhomer123]

Well at least they will make some coaching changes. There's just no way they can keep all of these current coaches. No chance

I bet nothing changes.

[BoulderSooner79]

Opportunity for the greatest comeback in the Stoops era right here for the taking.

[Rssooner1]

Just thinking on all the things I'll be able to buy with my season ticket money next year.....

Where are your seats...I am interested if they are better than my season tickets.

[OUinFLA]

I wonder how much money will be lost on the betting for this game..?

the same amount as will be won -1%

[BB37]

On a more positive note it looks like the weather is nice in Orlando.

...and the sun is bright.

[soonerfan69]

Opportunity for the greatest comeback in the Stoops era right here for the taking.

They're about to score again

[soonerfan69]

No passing game all they do is WR screen, screen, slant that's it

[soonerfan69]

Good Grief give someone else a chance TK sucks tonite

[BB37]

Almost another pick six.

[dwarthog]

We do have coaches, don't we?

[OUinFLA]

The Kate Upton ad is the best things Ive seen since the game started.

[BoulderSooner79]

Excellent. mission22.com commercial when it's reported that an Oklahoma senator is holding up the bill.

[soonerfan69]

Thomas needs to learn how to tackle

[dwarthog]

Oh look another big gain against our D on 1st down.

[BB37]

Thomas needs to learn how to tackle

Only Thomas?

[soonerfan69]

They've given up

[OUinFLA]

Sweeny - "We might as well run out the play book, they can't stop anything. Try the high school plays and see how many yards we can get"

[soonerfan69]

Only Thomas?

He's missed every tackle so far

[aurorasooner]

Thought we might come out pizzed off in the 2nd half and perhaps move the ball some. It looks like more of the same though.

Just so predictable and absolutely zero imagination from the booth on offense. Oh well, sure hope it's not more of the same next year.

[olevetonahill]

Think Ima watch one more series and if we aint got any fire by then Ima Call Calf Rope on this shat!

[BoulderSooner79]

Quick - can someone start a shutout poll? About the only question left, but I don't know how to do it.

[OffroadOUFan]

Sweeny - "We might as well run out the play book, they can't stop anything. Try the high school plays and see how many yards we can get"

They have a player that was described as the only middle school hall of fame member (if it existed), so why not pull out that out too... :(

[BB37]

Bob might as well go ahead and make his concession speech, this one's over.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Play all the freshmen. Give them some experience and motivation to not repeat this performance next season.

[Mac94]

Something drastic has to change or OU may enter a down period of real mediocrity at best. TCU and Baylor afren't gonna fade away anytime soon ... KSU will be dangerous as long as the mad scientist is there ... Texas will get better under Strong ... they solve the QB position and watch out. OU is the one team that seems on the decline.

[BoulderSooner79]

Think Ima watch one more series and if we aint got any fire by then Ima Call Calf Rope on this shat!

Me too. And to think I told my mistress I'd take a rain check today so I could watch this.

[dwarthog]

Well guess it's character buidling time for the remaining fans watching this one.

[BB37]

FWIW, that should've been a PI

[soonerfan69]

Why do they keep throwing it short of the first down marker

[okiewaker]

I don't see much heart and effort is lacking as well. I'm packing in for this year. Gonna turn the channel and watch movie! RIP 2014OU football season.

[BB37]

The only bright spot on this game has been the punter.

[DBrown]

Sounding pretty logical to me!

[Mac94]

TV announcers on the soap box ... yay

[BB37]

Stunned Sooner shots.

[olevetonahill]

Quick - can someone start a shutout poll? About the only question left, but I don't know how to do it.

whatcha want it to say?

[GDC]

We are officially the joke of the big 12.

OU is officially the laughing stock of all of college football right now.

[JLEW1818]

Knight is horrible at football

[ouduckhunter]

Please start a poll for which coach gets fired. Options Stoops, Stoops, Heupel, Horse Pig, or none of the above.

[OU68]

This is looking worse than the USC debacle :(

[SoonerorLater]

It looks like our guys are enjoying themselves on the sidelines. That's got to count for something.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Looks like we got in an eye poke there at the end as well.

[OUinFLA]

Hard to think that our best play might be a fumble recovery

Im guessing we will get screwed somehow.

[OffroadOUFan]

This is looking worse than the USC debacle :(

I do not recall that game ;) This game, however, is totally happening in front of my eyes.

[soonergirlNeugene]

vs USC we at least had a couple of respectable drives before we **** the bed

[BB37]

This is worse than the 33-6 Orange Bowl loss to Arky back in 77.

[SoonerMarkVA]

This is looking worse than the USC debacle :(

At least USC was a "once every 5 to 10 years" team. This is a runner up in a mediocre conference slapping us and making us eat our own feces.

[OUinFLA]

I knew we would get screwed

[soonergirlNeugene]

This crew from the Pac 12?

[OffroadOUFan]

This crew from the Pac 12?

Must be. Ball location isn't a concern for them...

[OUinFLA]

they called a penalty on Clemson? wth?

[soonergirlNeugene]

I just looked it up. SEC refs. Oh well, not like it matters.

[BlownGP]

These game is great

[BoulderSooner79]

We're obviously playing for pride now.

[Mac94]

speechless

[soonergirlNeugene]

Pride? That has yet to make an appearance. Unless you're talking about the band.

[OffroadOUFan]

We're going out with a bang...a gang bang. Ugh.

[BB37]

Yay, a completed pass and a first down, yay!

[soonergirlNeugene]

woo up to 1.6 yards per pass!

[aurorasooner]

Our D just made another BU QB look All-American.

I wouldn't be surprised come January if Joe C doesn't get quite a few calls from the top programs not to be their AD, but to ask if they could buy out some of the directional schools contracts on our next few years schedule, and schedule a couple of games against us.

[Turd_Ferguson]

[BB37]

speechless

Ditto.

[aero]

this whole team should be ashamed of what they did tonight

[SoonerorLater]

I give....Uncle.....No Mas

[OUinFLA]

im thinking 60-0 = coaching changes
but.......... you never know

[BlownGP]

This is just SAD!!!!!!

[nanimonai]

Run up the score, I'm all for it.

[soonergirlNeugene]

I don't think they'll hear any whining from anyone here for mercy if they keep running it up.

[EatLeadCommie]

I'm rooting for Clemson at this point. The worse it is, the more likely somebody gets canned.

[SoonerorLater]

I say we go all in for the worst OU loss ever in a bowl. No doing this halfa$$

[OUinFLA]

put in the third string.................coaches too.

[BB37]

Someone must've said 'it can't get any worse,' just to see if it could.

[cvsooner]

The press conference ought to be .... interesting.

[soonergirlNeugene]

I wouldn't say I'm rooting for them. I have a hard enough time rooting for orange teams when they're NOT playing OU. I just want to see precisely how bad the difference is.

[Mookie91]

The press conference ought to be .... interesting.

No reporters have the guts to ask tough question

[okiewaker]

After the first Qtr I was predicting 68-0. I might be close.

[Mac94]

put in the backups ... the youngsters ... get some film of them before spring ball

[SoonerorLater]

What can you expect? We're playing against their Heisman Trophy candidate QB..........oh wait a minute never mind.

[soonersweetie]

Press conference has been cancelled due to lack of interest.

[cvsooner]

No reporters have the guts to ask tough question

They might after this one. Even Barry Tramel was knocking them today. When you've lost Tramel...

[OffroadOUFan]

The announcers need to stop sucking off Clemson's QB; our defense seems to have drained him of everything he's got.

[OU68]

The press conference ought to be .... interesting.

Stoops will say the whole team got food poisoning from breakfast!

[REDREX]

Well we have crossed the 50 once and now have 100 yards of offense

[soonergirlNeugene]

Ahhh now there's an explanation for this ****stain. The entire roster came down with explosive diarrhea.

[BB37]

Clemson must have a GA assigned to pull Brent back from the sideline.

[rock on sooner]

In my 62, almost 63 years of Sooner football, I have no words, no
explanations, certainly no excuses.....please, find a way to change
this abomination......

[SCSoonerfan]

Nah...I still think once the NC was out of the picture we just didnt care anymore.....End sarcasm.

[OUinFLA]

Clemson must have put in their 3rd string.
weve made two first downs

[East Coast Bias]

It will be hard for the sunshine pumpers to put a positive spin on this. Clemson is nothing more than a mid-level team.

[REDREX]

In my 62, almost 63 years of Sooner football, I have no words, no
explanations, certainly no excuses.....please, find a way to change
this abomination......----I am having John Blake flashbacks

[BB37]

Saban gets his next raise in 3...2...1...

[rock on sooner]

How bad do ya think Venables wants a shutout?

[kenth68]

that's hilarious.. having to pull venables back all the time. at least there's something amusing here.

[soonergirlNeugene]

How bad do ya think Venables wants a shutout?

More than we want to avoid one I think.

[BB37]

Mystery solved -- he's a strength coach, not a GA.

[BigTip]

This game will help us remember this diseased season all the more. Sad.

Does anyone feel sick about this? Yes, me neither. That's really sad too when we are beyond caring.

sigh

[OffroadOUFan]

Mystery solved -- he's a strength coach, not a GA.

Takes me back to when the announcers were focused on the ou rugby team rather than the game being broadcast on TV.

[OUinFLA]

We've certainly had some memorable bowl games.

[soonergirlNeugene]

OU football is in the toilet and flannel is back in style. Smells like the '90s are back.

[SoonerorLater]

Well we have crossed the 50 once and now have 100 yards of offense

Cool! I knew we'd turn this thing around.

[okiewaker]

In the large scope of things,,,I'm just hoping this program doesn't go by way of Nebraska.

[SoonerorLater]

In the large scope of things,,,I'm just hoping this program doesn't go by way of Nebraska.

Too late.

[REDREX]

Anyone want to try and find a JUCO QB----We can't win with the ones we have

[soonergirlNeugene]

You know, something's missing. Oh - we need to get it within fieldgoal range so Hunnicutt can miss one.

[BB37]

Brent just pulled his first teamers.

[Mac94]

Baker Mayfield may give the QB position a boost ... but a JUCO isn't a bad thought

[OUinFLA]

gonna be bad if we cant score on the second team...........oh, wait, its already bad.

[REDREX]

Baker Mayfield may give the QB position a boost ... but a JUCO isn't a bad thought---TT would not give him a scholly---I hope we are not thinking he will be that good

[kenth68]

YEAH YEAH WOOOOOOOO

[SoonerorLater]

A comeback

[OUinFLA]

YEA !

Our first team offense can beat your second team defense.

Take that !

[BB37]

A consolation TD against Clemson's 2nd team defense.

[Mac94]

Well ... shut out avoided ... guess thats something ... maybe

[BB37]

You know, something's missing. Oh - we need to get it within fieldgoal range so Hunnicutt can miss one.

You were close, a blocked PAT.

[OUinFLA]

Bob will probably get a raise

[BigTip]

Okay, NOW I feel good



NOT!

[dwarthog]

Classic, blocked extra point. Can't even execute that phase of the game.

[soonergirlNeugene]

You were close, a blocked PAT.

They probably didn't need to block it.

[DBrown]

UAB has a couple of displaced QB's hanging around......BOOMER WE JUST SCORED THERE GOES THE SHUTOUT!!
^$%^% turn around and MISS THE EXTRA POINT.......and then that Ray Price song on ESPN has to be played.

[Sooner8th]

Baker Mayfield may give the QB position a boost ... but a JUCO isn't a bad thoughtThe number 1 pro style juco qb in the country is in Hutchinson, ks, I suggest "big game" rents a house next to his. On second thought, at $5.25 MILLION A YEAR just buy the damn thing.

[OUinFLA]

maybe we can stop their 2nd team offense

[FaninAma]

Hunnicut has certainly played himself out of any chance at an NFL career.

[soonergirlNeugene]

If Texas loses, the B12 is going to wind up w/ a big fat black eye today.

[hornswaggled]

LMFAO. Clemson is good; OU should be better. They're not.

[REDREX]

Hunnicut has certainly played himself out of any chance at an NFL career.---He went from great to awful in one game

[soonergirlNeugene]

And then stayed awful for the rest of the season.

[swardboy]

Well I'm given to understand that we're having a good recruiting year. Maybe we need to recruit more than just players.

[SoonerorLater]

Looks like everybody will want to schedule us for homecoming next year.

[BB37]

GO CLOCK GO
GO CLOCK GO

[soonergirlNeugene]

LOL another pick

[Mac94]

Well that's fitting ... why not another turnover

[Sooner8th]

A consolation TD against Clemson's 2nd team defense.We scored? I stopped watching and joined my wife watching Father Goose with Cary Grant and Leslie Caron, good choice as far as I'm concerned. Unlike "big game" Cary never disappoints.

[BB37]

How fitting.

[nanimonai]

Looks like everybody will want to schedule us for homecoming next year.

Anyone with us on the schedule is screwing up their playoff chances next year by playing cupcakes.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Band still playing Boomer Sooner.

[EatLeadCommie]

At least The Pride showed up

[beached_sooner]

Knight is horrible at football

DING, DING, DING !!! Folks we have a winner ! I've been saying this since the TCU game. And Cody Thomas is even worse. WTF !!! Are we going to have to go back to the JUCO's to get a QB who is worth a schitt? Whoever recruited Knight, Bell, and Thomas should be given his walking papers. And furthermore, Josh doesn't appear to have done schitt to develop their abilities. OU hasn't been this low since the USC debacle. At least most of the people in the country aren't watching this meltdown.

[DBrown]

5.....FIVE TURNOVERS+ SEC OFFICIALS=ONE HOT MESS!

[soonergirlNeugene]

Wow this discussion over whether it would be possible to have a SEC officiating crew call the title game if it's 2 SEC teams.

[OUinFLA]

lets throw another interception to end this game

[SoonerorLater]

It's 40-6 and that score doesn't even really reflect how bad we played.

[dwarthog]

I hope my cell phone does that emergency alert thing if a bus load of Clemson folks are heading to oklahoma, they some bad mofo's.

[BB37]

5.....FIVE TURNOVERS+ SEC OFFICIALS=ONE HOT MESS!

The officials didn't influence this abortion.

[Turd_Ferguson]

Now I can't get Ray Price out of my head...

[Sooner8th]

Clemson coach - we whipped Oklahoma's @ss. Recruit - So what?

[SoCalBigRed]

Really, really bad...

[beached_sooner]

Good Grief give someone else a chance TK sucks tonite

Ding ! Ding ! Ding ! Folks we have another winner !!!

Our stable of quarterbacks are effing horrible !!! These guys shouldn't even be at D-I schools !!

[hornswaggled]

DING, DING, DING !!! Folks we have a winner ! I've been saying this since the TCU game. And Cody Thomas is even worse. WTF !!! Are we going to have to go back to the JUCO's to get a QB who is worth a schitt? Whoever recruited Knight, Bell, and Thomas should be given his walking papers. And furthermore, Josh doesn't appear to have done schitt to develop their abilities. OU hasn't been this low since the USC debacle. At least most of the people in the country aren't watching this meltdown.

SoCal wasn't this bad, was it? I know that is an itch I cannot scratch, but how does this happen again?

[kenth68]

lets throw another interception to end this game

hell... he'll probably throw a couple of interceptions on the way home

[SoCalBigRed]

Losing to the condoms was worse.

But, we need two new coordinators, or a new head coach and two new coordinators, if that doesn't work for him.

[hawaii 5-0]

Bob, it's an excellent time to look for a new DB coach. Maybe with Mike's salary it's time for him to take an early retirement.

Josh should go back to being simply a QB coach. He's not ready to be OC.

5-0

[beached_sooner]

SoCal wasn't this bad, was it? I know that is an itch I cannot scratch, but how does this happen again?

Losing to USC was much worse ! That was for the National Championship and almost everybody in the country saw that total meltdown . Way worse.

[DBrown]

Didn't say they did.
At least this one's in the books.
Time to go make a Hitler Rant video.

[REDREX]

We need to go get Braxton Miller if he leaves Ohio State

[BigDub]

Does anyone think that this will lead to any changes at OU? I wish Hoover was at the game to interview the Stoops brothers after the loss. Seems as if Hoover (although he dislikes the Stoops) is the only reporter holding the Stoops boys feet to the fire!

[soonergirlNeugene]

We need to go get Braxton Miller if he leaves Ohio State

We were never in the mix for him before. All signs say LSU if he goes to a power 5 school.

[REDREX]

Lets just hope Texas sucks tonight

[aero]

I don't think at this point worrying about what players to get is the real problem. I think it's more of a coaching problem. that's where the changes need to be made and if not then it really doesn't matter who is playing.

[FaninAma]

I don't think at this point worrying about what players to get is the real problem. I think it's more of a coaching problem. that's where the changes need to be made and if not then it really doesn't matter who is playing.
Yep.

[REDREX]

We were never in the mix for him before. All signs say LSU if he goes to a power 5 school.---I heard he was talking to Duke

[hornswaggled]

Losing to USC was much worse ! That was for the National Championship and almost everybody in the country saw that total meltdown . Way worse.

I would agree except this is the only game on TV tonight. Everyone who watches college ball saw this turd. It is as bad as it gets.
Optimistically, it can only get better. Otherwise, it stays the same or gets worse until some fundamental changes occur.

[soonergirlNeugene]

At least it was on a weeknight. Heh.

[hornswaggled]

At least it was on a weeknight. Heh.

Good point.

[hornswaggled]

Thank you, soonergirlNeugene, for talking me down off the high ledge.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Thank you, soonergirlNeugene, for talking me down off the high ledge.

Happy to help. If getting embarrassed in front of a slightly smaller audience on national tv does it for you, who am I to judge?

[EatLeadCommie]

oh, I should say Hunnicutt kicking it a foot off the ground on the PAT was the capper. What a joke of the night. I think those guys not only didn't care about the bowl game (that much is obvious), but that they were out banging hookers and drinking booze last night until about 5am or so, then they started up again today until they had to report to the stadium.

[soonergirlNeugene]

"I don't want to go out like this," Striker said. "I'll be back at OU because I'm a winner." Ugh...he has been so misused by our coaching staff. I wouldn't blame him if he did decide to cut his losses and leave.

[kenth68]

Lets just hope Texas sucks tonight

Texas always sucks
