Official Game Thread: OU versus Clemson

[ouflak]

Line is going crazy on this. From 3.5 to 6.5 in the last two days. Strange.

[OUinFLA]

Bah Humbug

Happy New Year Tony

[OUinFLA]

Im surprised we haven't called a time out yet

[Judge Smails]

Fire Venables!

[Mookie91]

Knight still sucks

[Judge Smails]

Is it too early in the day to start drinking/sniffing glue?

[JLMSOONER]

Well, there's that!

[SCSoonerfan]

dafuq was that

[EatLeadCommie]

Lol

[OUinFLA]

This might be hard to watch

I see our defense has not improved

[Mookie91]

Hayes Striker awesome!

[JLMSOONER]

Is it too early in the day to start drinking/sniffing glue?

Oh, we were supposed to wait?

[instigator]

That was pretty sweet D.

[OUinFLA]

lets see, we get the ball first.
1:30 into the game we are behind by 7

[IslandSooner]

Really???? WTF was that

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Lmao! Hahahah first play of the game for Clemson = touchdown.

[nanimonai]

Looks like our defense isn't having any mayonnaise as usual.

[dwarthog]

Gonna be a long evening it looks like...

[SCSoonerfan]

Ok someone needs to make a parody of this Rob Lowe commercial. Hi Im Mike Stoops and my defense is top notch. Then Hi my name is Scrawny Mike Stoops and my defense is a sieve.

[Sooner8th]

Jesus

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I'm still laughing....

[BoulderSooner79]

3 and out, poor punt, TD given up on 1 play.

offense, special teams and defense already covered!

[okiewaker]

Oops,,,,whoooooopsy!!!

[OUinFLA]

Well, you have to admit that trophy for this game looks a lot nicer than those Fiesta Bowl gargoyles we have in the trophy case.

[soonercastor]

Sure glad I took off from work early!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Do not belong...

[OUinFLA]

Knight wont last long like that

[EatLeadCommie]

Don't see much red in the stands

[OUmillenium]

Should I waste anymore time on this game?

You know I will...

[ouduckhunter]

Fire every coach out there!

[SCSoonerfan]

Is it too early to pull the "We didnt care" card ala Alabama?

[nanimonai]

I think it's time to give everyone raises.

[OUmillenium]

118th ranked pass defense.

TK is clueless by the way.

[Judge Smails]

Looks like Nickelodeon is running a Sponge Bob Square Pants marathon.

I might have to make the switch pretty soon...

[Judge Smails]

I think it's time to give everyone raises.

Or a foot up the azz.

[misplaced_sooner]

Thus far, all indications say Big Blowout Bob has shown up.

[OUinFLA]

Don't see much red in the stands

I could have had tickets for under $40.
Parking would have been more.

I decided 45 miles was too far to drive.

I think I should have gone fishing.

[Judge Smails]

Mike Stoops Defense = FAIL

[Sooner8th]

I think it's time to give everyone raises.good one - mike stoops - remember that time when you stopped a 7 yard hitch in 2012? What are you complaining about?

[Judge Smails]

Hire Venables!

[JLMSOONER]

Well, let's spot them 14 and lull them into overconfidence.

[kenth68]

I think someone screwed up and blitzed when they should have buffered back ten yards.

[OUmillenium]

Is this the worst Stoops defense, including 1999?

[OUinFLA]

how many ways can we screw up today?

well off sides on a missed field goal is a new one.

[JLMSOONER]

Well, let's spot them 14 and lull them into overconfidence.

Ok 10....wait no....7.....wait no......10

[OUinFLA]

I think Ill watch the Liberty Bowl
WVU still has a chance.

[Judge Smails]

Good idea.


I think Ill watch the Liberty Bowl
WVU still has a chance.

[soonergirlNeugene]

I guess I should be happy they have the end of the WVU game playing instead.

[OUinFLA]

best catch ive seen in several games
of course we get a offensive PI

[OUinFLA]

ooooo, we throw an interception.
our first this game

[kenth68]

I guess I should be happy they have the end of the WVU game playing instead.

it's on espn2 if you want to see the ugliness

[Judge Smails]

Did Knight lose his eyesight with that injury?

[EatLeadCommie]

Lulz. We got this guy for 2 more years

[soonercastor]

good god

[instigator]

Did Knight lose his eyesight with that injury?

Looks like the same guy to me.

[aero]

Please. can the discussion whether TK is a good qb just stop. How can you throw that pick? He looked right at the guy and threw it anyway. geesh

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This game is full of wtf

[Mac94]

Aggie game over ... join the OU game in time to see FG block!

[OUinFLA]

ok, how do we screw up this opportunity?
any takers?
interception 2:1
fumble 2:3
3 and out 1:5
???

[SCSoonerfan]

Please. can the discussion whether TK is a good qb just stop. How can you throw that pick? He looked right at the guy and threw it anyway. geesh

Yeah he missed the guy in the Bright Orange and Purple uni.

[JLMSOONER]

Bob was pretty excited about the block. Must have a clause in his contract where he gets a mil for a blocked fg in a bowl game..

[EatLeadCommie]

Any chance that BB plays QB?

[soonerfan69]

They need to just quit throwing the stupid wr screens they never work anymore

[misplaced_sooner]

Any chance that BB plays QB?

I wish. Blake Bell is a winner and team player.

[kenth68]

my God... pick aside, how did they not even touch him?

[Judge Smails]

At this point I'll take ANYONE but TK.



Any chance that BB plays QB?

[OUmillenium]

ok, how do we screw up this opportunity?
any takers?
interception 2:1
fumble 2:3
3 and out 1:5
???

INT wins!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

More wtf

[misplaced_sooner]

They need to just quit throwing the stupid wr screens they never work anymore

I don't think it matters at this point.

[JLMSOONER]

Well, maybe they will get tired.

[nanimonai]

Just pure comedy

[soonerfan69]

This team sucks thanks Stoops

[Judge Smails]

Our defense is the sheetz.

[EatLeadCommie]

Let's spot them more points plz

[SCSoonerfan]

If I was at the game, Im heading to Universal or Disneyworld at this point.

[Mac94]

Wow ... this sucks :-(

[OUmillenium]

Thankfully, its all the players fault and this mess can be corrected.:chuncky:

[misplaced_sooner]

Did the announcer just say this was a stunner?

Not a stunner, OU fans are used to blowout losses in bowl games.

[JLMSOONER]

Ahhh, it could be worse......wait, no it can't!

[soonerfan69]

How long did Stoops prepare for this game an hour?

[Judge Smails]

Mike Stoops Defense:

http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/incubator/files/2012/03/sieve2.jpg

[BoulderSooner79]

At least Shepard got down after the tipped passed - that Clemson dude tried to take him out from the blind side.

Try Cody Thomas? (runs for cover)

[nanimonai]

It's really a brilliant game plan by Heupel to keep our defense off of the field.

[OUinFLA]

lucky for you guys, my computer glitched and shut down just as that last interception occurred.
otherwise, I probably could have had this site banned with the language I was thinking.

Now that Ive had time to settle down, this game really sux.
We look worse than that Orange Bowl GOWWDNS.

[BoulderSooner79]

Mike Stoops Defense:

http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/incubator/files/2012/03/sieve2.jpg

Hey, defense is getting settled in. Now if only the offense...

[soonergirlNeugene]

Clemson defensive line is getting more tired? All those 3 and outs sure added up fast...

[kenth68]

doesn't matter how much the players settle down if the coaches are coaching like idiots

[Judge Smails]

Their kicker is starting to wear out.



It's really a brilliant game plan by Heupel to keep our defense off of the field.

[OUmillenium]

How did nobody get open in that mess?

[soonerfan69]

TK had all that time and he found nothing LOL

[soonercastor]

No one could get open for one minute

[soonergirlNeugene]

This season can't end fast enough.

[nanimonai]

What's John Blake up to these days?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I got a new leaf blower for Christmas, it's the only that blows more than this team

[soonergirlNeugene]

At least in the USC game, we looked competent for a couple drives.

[OUinFLA]

What's John Blake up to these days?

about 375 lbs last I heard.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Two bad calls against us

[OUinFLA]

anyone else getting "dangerous" pop-up notifications on this site today?

[JLMSOONER]

Whew! I bet the 2nd quarter will be better.

[SCSoonerfan]

Well we are at a 68-0 pace what was the over/under?

[EatLeadCommie]

Not that it matters but that is two bs calls

[Judge Smails]

http://www.etruesports.com/files/Image/wesuck.jpg

[soonerfan69]

I'm officially on the Fire Stoops Bandwagon there is no way they will win a Championship with this finesse philosophy

[OUmillenium]

Can't believe we are not in the playoffs!

[BoulderSooner79]

The offense needs to tackle better. If they can tackle after throwing the picks, I think the D can hold 'em to a FG attempt.

[Rssooner1]

Man...I just got back from the crapper...down 17

[nanimonai]

Well we are at a 68-0 pace what was the over/under?

About 68 exactly. A ton of people were playing OU minus the points for some reason this morning at the sportsbook here in Vegas.

[Sooner8th]

I had planned on cutting back a little after christmas and before new years, but I'm on my second beer and going to make a martini. My liver and kidney thanks you big game.

[OUinFLA]

The offense needs to tackle better. If they can tackle after throwing the picks, I think the D can hold 'em to a FG attempt.

Post of the Thread.

Tweet it in to Josh.

[OUmillenium]

The commercial animals all picked OU in a low scoring affair.

This is no affair...its r@pe!

[Judge Smails]

I bet that bowl looked better than this one...



Man...I just got back from the crapper...down 17

[Rssooner1]

I went from beer to scotch so I can numb the pain faster.

[OUinFLA]

oh good, Clemson is already putting their 2nd team guys in to gain some experience.

[Mac94]

Well ... held em to a FG ... guess that something. How can a proud program like OU be this suspect on defense.

[Judge Smails]

The parents will be playing by the time this biotch is over.




oh good, Clemson is already putting their 2nd team guys in to gain some experience.

[Rogue]

What the hell happened? I had to work late...just getting in to see the FG to put them up 20-0.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Embarrassing.good for venebles. Just a big **** you to the stoops brothers.

Not that he was all world at ou, but at his worst he didn't filed a defense as bad as this abortion.

[Sooner8th]

Well ... held em to a FG ... guess that something. How can a proud program like OU be this suspect on defense.Not to mention at quarterback. Actually outside of the first play not too bad only given up 6 points with a turnover deep in our end.

[misplaced_sooner]

I flipped over to Talladega Nights, not as comical, but more entertaining.

[Eielson]

Just what we needed. There will some changes, and we'll have an open QB competion.

[Judge Smails]

You should go back to work. You will have more fun there.



What the hell happened? I had to work late...just getting in to see the FG to put them up 20-0.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Completely inept.

[soonerfan69]

Venables knows this offense better than TK does

[Mac94]

Is it just me or does it look like the kids really just dont want to be there?

[Judge Smails]

Venables giving Heupel a big FU too.

[OUinFLA]

I think we've got them right where we want them.

after all, we could be down by 28 if they just chose to go for it on 4th down rather than settle for 3 pts.

[kenth68]

scout team... this sort of thing has to affect bob and co., doesn't it? or does the pile of cash buffer the hurt enough

[Sooner8th]

Just got called out on national tv. so embarrassing.........

[Mookie91]

I can't believe I'm going to say this but Stoops needs to go

[SCSoonerfan]

I bet that bowl looked better than this one...

Post of the thread right there ladies and gentleman.

[OUinFLA]

Is it just me or does it look like the kids really just dont deserve to be there?

FIFY

[EatLeadCommie]

Josh is so bad. Not that TK helps, but that's the 2nd screen they've run on 3rd and long and everybody knew it

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Hard to say, but I think the players nor the coaches give a **** at this point.

I think it's time for stoops to go as well. You can't bring a team like this to a bowl game, play this poorly, and be ok with it.

There is no swagger, no intensity. The defense, and offense look inept, and that's just ridiculous.

[soonergirlNeugene]

I think they should just shuffle up those cards they use to relay the play calls in and just start flopping them over at random.

[nanimonai]

I think we might be able to hang with Akron for at least a half in our opener next year.

[OUmillenium]

A $5 million pile of fail.

[Eielson]

You'd have to think we'll finally get that new OC that we've so desperately covered for a few years.

[OUinFLA]

We have gone from the "bend don't break" defense
to the "bend-over and take it" defense.

[Sooner8th]

Hard to say, but I think the players nor the coaches give a **** at this point.I think it's time for stoops to go as well. You can't bring a team like this to a bowl game, play this poorly, and be ok with it.There is no swagger, no intensity. The defense, and offense look inept, and that's just ridiculous.This reminds me of gibbs last game at the copper bowl.

[lexsooner]

Mike Stoops is sweating. Alcohol abuse will do that.

[soonerfan69]

North Dakota State would roll this team

[East Coast Bias]

The QB play has been horrendous. All of the throws are high. They should put CT in, he would not do any worse.

[OUinFLA]

we will get that td called back
we haven't had one of those yet

[soonerfan69]

****ing offsides on the only play they make

[Rogue]

Can't get a break!

[JLMSOONER]

Cool. Int for a td and a penalty for a first down.

[SoonerMarkVA]

I've reached the point. Stoops needs to go. I'd like him to resign, but if not he should be removed.

[okiewaker]

Wow,,,peace out!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Hahahahahahhaaha!!! Of course!!

[ObiKaTony]

Anyone claiming josh is anything but a worthless is a liar than needs to go to hell...oh look, another mental mistake

[Eielson]

The defense certainly hasn't been good, but Mike isn't really the issue. The offense is.

[okiewaker]

It's very clear,,,,OU football team is mentally challenged!!

[Sooner8th]

un****ingbelievable

[soonercastor]

The offense is responsible for the defense being ranked 117th against the pass?

[Eielson]

It's crazy to think that if we could just keep from jumping offsides this would be 17-7.

[Mac94]

Wow ... this is gonna be an ugly off season in Norman

[OUinFLA]

odds that we will score at all?

3:1 ?
5:1 ?

100:1 ?

take your best guess?

[soonercastor]

It's crazy to think that if we could just keep from jumping offsides this would be 17-7.

Being offside affected the whole play

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Alright, I'm out. I'm not going to get my blood pressure up getting pissed off watching this **** show. Offseason better have some ****ing changes, bc this **** is ****ing ridiculous

[FaninAma]

Yep, this year is a total abortion. I wonder if Bob Stoops will continue to be the same abrasive arrogant prick he has always been.

[soonerfan69]

Run the Stoops Brothers out of Oklahoma they suck

[EatLeadCommie]

The QB play has been horrendous. All of the throws are high. They should put CT in, he would not do any worse.

Except he is worse. Put in Blake

[Eielson]

Being offside affected the whole play

Maybe the FG.

[OUmillenium]

I predicted Clemson by 21. They are up by 27 in mid-2nd qtr?

I have no answers or opinions at this point. Just stunned than we are worse than even I anticipated.

[Sooner8th]

The defense certainly hasn't been good, but Mike isn't really the issue. The offense is.With that drive the defense now turns into the problem. one play 65 yard td - 80 yard drive that should have been a td for us, poor tackling and coverage. big game has to change philosophies and schemes and mike has to go.

[okiewaker]

I remember after the 2000 NC Bob giving an interview about how bad the perception of the program was before he got there, it was an ESPN deal, I think. Anyone else remember it? Well, here we are,,,again!

[soonergirlNeugene]

BAHAHAHAHAHA

[kenth68]

oh my God... how much worse are they going to get?

[SCSoonerfan]

KO team looks focused at least......Oh wait!

[BB37]

That pretty much sums up the whole game.

[kenth68]

this is effing embarrassing

[soonergirlNeugene]

this is effing embarrassing

It was embarrassing 2 scores ago. At this point it's just morbidly amusing.

[Jacie]

OUr immediate goals:

Hold to em under 30 for the half?

Score before the half?

No more INT's this half?

Put together 2 first downs in a row this half?

[Mac94]

Perine with something ... the one bright spot of this season

[Sooner8th]

Yep, this year is a total abortion. I wonder if Bob Stoops will continue to be the same abrasive arrogant prick he has always been.Hell yes he will be.

[Judge Smails]

You forgot:

Sneak out at halftime?




OUr immediate goals:

Hold to em under 30 for the half?

Score before the half?

No more INT's this half?

Put together 2 first downs in a row this half?

[Eielson]

Our defense is our bright spot! :P

[soonerfan69]

I remember after the 2000 NC Bob giving an interview about how bad the perception of the program was before he got there, it was an ESPN deal, I think. Anyone else remember it? Well, here we are,,,again!

And they are still running the same Offense and Defense

[OUmillenium]

Clemson sold out to the run now after the Perine break.

[FaninAma]

Poor, just poor.

[OUinFLA]

Mercy Rule !!!

[soonerfan69]

Bring in the Freshman

[Turd_Ferguson]

Hire Venables!

GOLD!!

[OUinFLA]

hard to wear their defense down when we go 3 and out time after time

[OUmillenium]

Night night all. My 4 yr old had his first Star Wars Christmas so I'm going to play with him instead of watching this infuriating joke of a game. Sooner hoops is fun to watch.

[nanimonai]

No sodas after the game for this team!

[Mookie91]

Trevor Knight is garbage

[JLMSOONER]

The announcers suggesting Bob ask for a running clock in the 2nd half! Priceless

[OffroadOUFan]

Perine with something ... the one bright spot of this season

I hate to say it, but that's the same statement about the Sooners of the late 90s (when I was a student at OU) -- except it was De'mond Parker, who I attended high school with too.

[Sooner8th]

Our program has fallen so low that we, at least I, am counting on a walk-on at Texas Tech that got benched to be our savior next year. Sweet baby Jesus....................

[ObiKaTony]

GOLD!!

Yeah cuz averaging 7th in the big 12 in total defense was awesome too. This offense freakin suck. Knight is terrible and a waste of talent. Josh is there because of his marriage to dan borens daughter. This whole thing stinks worse than my television which this shi$$y game displaying...

Clean the entire house...

[BoulderSooner79]

Early in the 2nd qtr, the announcer said "this really does look like the varsity against the JV".

I can't think of any reason to feel offended.

[GDC]

How can you expect a team to play intelligently when the coaches don't coach intelligently?

[Judge Smails]

I thought that said "Ebola Wonderland"

[Mookie91]

Heads must roll

[BoulderSooner79]

Yeah cuz averaging 7th in the big 12 in total defense was awesome too. This offense freakin suck. Knight is terrible and a waste of talent. Josh is there because of his marriage to dan borens daughter. This whole thing stinks worse than my television which this shi$$y game displaying...

Clean the entire house...

I think you missed the joke.

[FaninAma]

I started to not watch the game. After I turned it on it was like coming upon a major traffic accident with blood and gore every where.......I just couldn't turn away.

Guys, I think the game has passed Bob by.

[rock on sooner]

Sideline reporter quoting a Clemson lineman "I don't think they want it. The
Sooners don't want it."

[OffroadOUFan]

I thought that said "Ebola Wonderland"

My wife said the same thing!

[Eielson]

Crap! We'really getting the ball back!

[OUinFLA]

we called a time out?

oh, great, I remember when we did that against Baylor

[BoulderSooner79]

The bright side: we don't start '15 with a loss like we would if this was a Jan 1st game.

[Judge Smails]

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

[Jacie]

A defensive stop and a punt . . . short term goals in sight now.

[dwarthog]

Hey we may actually cross the 50 yard line!

[SoonerMarkVA]

hey, maybe we will cross the 50!

[OUinFLA]

maybe we are lulling them into sending their first team to Disneyworld for the second half?
Brilliant plan.

[Eielson]

There isn't anything on the line, so I bet Hunnicutt will make this FG.

[OUinFLA]

Knight couldn't hit a barn from inside of it.

[JLEW1818]

Waste

[dwarthog]

Hope we were polite when we got our swag at the local bestbuy.

[Eielson]

That fumble was unacceptable. Fire Heupel.

[OUinFLA]

Im sure glad you took that time out Bob, perhaps Clemson can score another before half time

[BB37]

Why not...

[Rogue]

I hate to say it, but that's the same statement about the Sooners of the late 90s (when I was a student at OU) -- except it was De'mond Parker, who I attended high school with too.

Ahh that's when I went to OU...the lean years.

[nanimonai]

I honestly think the announcers aren't giving us enough credit for how much we suck. It's not that we don't want to be there, we really just are this awful.

[OUinFLA]

Kansas, move over please, make a little from for us at the bottom.

[SoonerMarkVA]

I'm really surprised I'm still watching.

[soonerfan69]

DON'T FUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[okiewaker]

The game commentators are disgusted with OUs showing. Lol,,,I agree

[OffroadOUFan]

Fastest comeback in history of football -- 43 seconds to the 27-0 tie!

[SoonerMarkVA]

time for a pick six?

[OUinFLA]

fumble the ball................. out of the game

[soonerfan69]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[okiewaker]

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

Can I be first in line to buy them?

[OffroadOUFan]

Fastest comeback in history of football -- 43 seconds to the 27-0 tie!

S'pose not....oops.

[kenth68]

The game commentators are disgusted with OUs showing. Lol,,,I agree

can you imagine how the bowl committee feels? not a good showing for their expense

[OUinFLA]

Dabo is more impressed with us than I am

[OffroadOUFan]

"National Championship caliber team" LOL

[Eielson]

Did Dabo call us a nationap championship caliber team?

[dwarthog]

Is that scrawny arms Rob Lowe out there doing the tackling?

[soonerdo]

Bob will step down before the first game next year...

[SoonerMarkVA]

Well, we know Dabo is a big-*** liar.

[ObiKaTony]

I think you missed the joke.

I think you missed the sarcasm

[EatLeadCommie]

Well I'm pretty positive Heupel goes after this. No imagination. I see a revamping of the O staff. D has been ok outsde of the first play

[FaninAma]

I think Dabo needs to be drug tested along with OU's players and coaches.

[JLMSOONER]

"National Championship caliber team" LOL

He obviously hasn't been watching this game!

[OffroadOUFan]

Is that scrawny arms Rob Lowe out there doing the tackling?

Good one. That's funny.

[BoulderSooner79]

Does BV want a shutout or would he rather his old friends save a little face? I actually think the latter, but our offense not be capable even if the Clemson D sat down on a play.

[Piware]

I just keep thinking about how many Fire Brent Venables threads I have read. He is looking pretty good right now.

[ouhomer123]

I am just glad we are not playing Jenks the score would be worse right now!

[Eielson]

Does BV want a shutout or would he rather his old friends save a little face? I actually think the latter, but our offense not be capable even if the Clemson D sat down on a play.

It depends on how strategic they are with their placement of the sitting players.

[SoCalBigRed]

Just found out the game was on. Tuned over to it. Halftime... 0 - 27?

We need changes. No more excuses.

[EatLeadCommie]

It's easy to look good on D playing the teams Clemson has. That includes us.

[SoonerorLater]

Our offense is beyond incompetent.

[Eielson]

Just found out the game was on. Tuned over to it. Halftime... 0 - 27?

We need changes. No more excuses.

We just need to keep doing what we're doing. We're a national championship caliber football team.

[soonerfan69]

Fire them all!!!

[SoonerMarkVA]

I just keep thinking about how many Fire Brent Venables threads I have read. He is looking pretty good right now.

I have a feeling this, and the continuation of the same issues at OC no matter who it is, tells us a lot indirectly about the real problem on the coaching staff.

[SoonerorLater]

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

[East Coast Bias]

All is not lost. Pretty sure we can fix all this with a new QB, defense and coach...
