here we go....elephants vs the nuts

[Soonerjeepman]

I got go with the nuts.... another sec team needs to go down.

Although OU might get a little positive notes due to last year.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Ugh, if they mention us, you know it's going to be followed by a comment about getting Clemsoned.

[Soonerjeepman]

maybe so....but I think they already said something..

[cleller]

We hardly deserve mention in the same breath as these teams.

[Soonerjeepman]

last yrs team

[Soonerjeepman]

ok, nuts driving, 4th and goal....fg coming up

[soonergirlNeugene]

lol that mayhem sale is real. I just bought a couple sprinklers for $2. They had a 60 inch tv for $60 and an xbox one for $7 but the website crashed.

[aurorasooner]

If tOSU doesn't score a TD here, they didn't, it could be a long night for them, but it looks like Kiffen is to throw against the Bucs D.
That 3rd team QB for Ohio State is one big dude. I would've liked to see some kind of off-the-wall formation running play on 3rd there instead of letting their 3rd string QB pass, but I can understand why Meyer called it.. At least he threw it out of the EZ and not an EZ pick into quadruple coverage

[OUinFLA]

I think I can see why Braxton Miller is gonna transfer,

this kid is a beast in size

[OUinFLA]

and can throw the ball a lonnnnnnnng ways.

[SoCalBigRed]

tosu

Can't stand 'bama and their 72 National Titles, nor the SEC love fest.

Would love to see a Championship game, where the only mention of them or the SEC, is road kill to the Title game.

[Mac94]

Gumps look off tonight ... think the Ducks handle either of these teams

[soonergirlNeugene]

TCU would have beaten any of them.

[Mac94]

TCU vs Oregon would have been a really fun game

[Soonerjeepman]

lol that mayhem sale is real. I just bought a couple sprinklers for $2. They had a 60 inch tv for $60 and an xbox one for $7 but the website crashed.

Lol....ĵust saw the commercial....nice

Ditto

[Soonerjeepman]

osu needs a stop...

[soonergirlNeugene]

Lol....ĵust saw the commercial....nice

Dang it, why didn't I shop around before I bought the sprinklers? I could have had an washer/dryer for $80. Just my luck.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I'm gonna try for the car for 200 bucks and the tool chest for 39

[soonergirlNeugene]

Dang I didn't even see the car. When I first got on there, everything was available. Now they have all of it listed as "coming soon"....and I used that opportunity to buy some sprinklers for my front yard. FML

[Mac94]

Nice pick for Bama ... Ohio st gonna be in trouble if Bama scores here

[soonergirlNeugene]

http://www.mayhemsale.com/ If you get the car, I want a ride in it sometime XD

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Mayhemsale.com

[Soonerjeepman]

well this might be game here.....

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

tOSU can't get out of there own way. Bama scores again off a turnover

[olevetonahill]

http://www.mayhemsale.com/ If you get the car, I want a ride in it sometime XD

Is this one of those deals where thre decide to sell it an ya have to be the 1st to click it or what.

[BoulderSooner79]

TCU would definitely been a better match-up. I think tOSU may have had a chance with Barrett at QB, but the backup guy looks lost. I don't see this getting any closer if they can't find a passing game.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Is this one of those deals where thre decide to sell it an ya have to be the 1st to click it or what.

Apparently. And they won't let you buy more than 1 thing. lol I spent my chance on $2 lawn sprinklers

[Soonerjeepman]

tosu needs to score this drive

[Mac94]

Nice Buckeye drive here, good gut check answer by Ohio St. Think Bama wins but Oregon will torch their secondary

[olevetonahill]

Apparently. And they won't let you buy more than 1 thing. lol I spent my chance on $2 lawn sprinklers

I aint gonna sit around all night waiting for stuff to Come soon!
Car be the only thing worth tryin for and that be like hittin the Lottery Lol

[soonergirlNeugene]

yeah, but I feel like I have more stake in that than this game atm XD

[soonergirlNeugene]

Didn't look like he was in

[OUinFLA]

great catch
we might have a ball game
but Im going to bed
early fishing trip tomorrow

[soonergirlNeugene]

go for 2!

[Mac94]

That was one heck of a catch ... Mo firmly on the Buckeye side now. Have a ball game here

[BoulderSooner79]

That was a non-QB that made that throw - did any of our QBs make a throw like that this year? (Don't answer that)

[birddog]

Great first half. Tosu has some nuckin futs!

[Judge Smails]

Holly Rowe. Yechh.

[BoulderSooner79]

Great first half. Tosu has some nuckin futs!

You got that right.

I've got to stop thinking about our season when I watch these other games. When I see a team show resilience like tOSU has done so far, I get annoyed that our team showed so little. Makes it hard to enjoy the contest.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Ohio is only in this b/c Alabama only shows up unless it's a national championship game.

[Mac94]

wow ... Ohio St rolling

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Ohio is only in this b/c Alabama only shows up unless it's a national championship game.

^this.

[Mac94]

See how this game turns out but it's interesting that the BCS would have given us FSU vs Bama ... with the playoff we have Oregon in and Ohio St primed to knock out Alabama.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Tell me one of yall got the car.

[Soonerjeepman]

go nuts....

[Soonerjeepman]

son trying for tv

[soonergirlNeugene]

Bwaaaah hah

[BoulderSooner79]

Nick not happy

[SCSoonerfan]

Wow Bama gonna have to boycott the Sugar Bowl if this keeps up.

[Judge Smails]

Alabama + Sugar Bowl = FAIL

[soonergirlNeugene]

sad Nick is sad

[Mac94]

Bama looks lost ... 28 unanswered for Ohio St. Anyone put Paul Feinbaum on suicide watch yet?

[kenth68]

yeah... i love seein' him wear that face

[ouwasp]

wonder if tosu will ever do a two-pointer after a score tonight?

[EatLeadCommie]

Blake Sims with his best TK imitation there

[Judge Smails]

Wonder if the flying Alabama mom from last year has taken another dive yet?

[soonergirlNeugene]

lol this is bringing back some good memories. If you squint, those buckeyes almost look like sooners from last year.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Looks like Saban remembered he has Derrick Henry.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Hands to the face?

[Mac94]

Huge third down stop to start the 4th ... now see if Kiffin will keep Henry involved after he pretty much forgot about him till that last drive

[aurorasooner]

Whew, that 'Bama lady looked pizzed after that last tOSU TD. Ready to jump some Buck fans. But unlike last year and by the looks of her, she'd knock the snot out of a few and not just howl, scratch, and claw.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Got away from Henry again.

[BoulderSooner79]

This game getting interesting.

[BlownGP]

This looks to be turning in bama's favor

[soonergirlNeugene]

Starting to remind me of our bowl performance.

[aurorasooner]

Damn, that Jones kid stands in the pocket and sure doesn't get the happy feet. If he gets the chance, and the game slows down for him some, he could be a helluva QB.

I can't believe it's only his 2nd start, and Blackledge observed in the 1st qtr that he looked off the safety and then threw back to the other side.

Meyer better get that point back from the FGs or it may bite him

LMAO, a pick.

[soonergirlNeugene]

woooooooow

[Mac94]

LOL ... have Henry so what does Kiffin do ... get way to cute ... and there's the result

[BlownGP]

nevermind.... lol

This is a good game

[soonergirlNeugene]

We did the same crap when we had AD and DM

[Mac94]

Meyer having a better passing night than Sims ;-)

[BoulderSooner79]

Can't hold Bama out forever - OSU needs another score to win. Just a FG would do it.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Bama is terminally stupid if they don't just feed it to Henry for the remainder of the quarter.

[Mac94]

If Henry doesnt get the ball here I think Saban may hunt down and choke Kiffin on the sideline

[soonergirlNeugene]

It takes 4-5 guys to bring him down. Makes no sense to throw half as much as they've tried to.

[aurorasooner]

Damn, after the replay I think that it should've been 15. Thought the unwritten rule was the kicking leg, 15 and the plant leg only 5.

[soonergirlNeugene]

They needed to bring in another coach for this? This is shades of what they did in that same stadium last year.

[Mac94]

that punter is Bamas MVP tonight

[soonergirlNeugene]

Damn, after the replay I think that it should've been 15. Thought the unwritten rule was the kicking leg, 15 and the plant leg only 5.

That was my thought. But calls this postseason have been really timid. They have been letting a lot more slide than you'd see during the regular season.

[Eielson]

I thought plant leg was the 15, and kicking was 5.

[BoulderSooner79]

Damn, after the replay I think that it should've been 15. Thought the unwritten rule was the kicking leg, 15 and the plant leg only 5.

Other way around - plant leg hit draws the roughing. That's the one that can take out a knee or ankle.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Thanks. That makes sense.

[BoulderSooner79]

If Bama wins 35-34, the punter should be the MVP.

[Mac94]

ball and game

[aurorasooner]

Wonder if Meyer goes for 2 here

[BoulderSooner79]

If Bama wins 35-34, the punter should be the MVP.
But I guess not. Pinning them inside the 5 just gave that OSU RB a longer runway.

SEC! SEC!

[SCSoonerfan]

I bet Nick Saban's New Years Resolution will be to never ever ever see, hear of, or use Sugar again.

[Eielson]

If Bama wins 35-34, the punter should be the MVP.

Agreed.

OSU's MVP may be the same as ours from last year. TJ Yeldon. Henry is the stud, and I can't believe Bama still hasn't figured it out.

[Eielson]

Barring OSU disaster, Saban will fall to 8-8 in bowl games.

[BoulderSooner79]

Can't believe they let that guy behind them. Bama still has time, but they will probably need an onside kick.

[BoulderSooner79]

OSU is trying for that disaster. Even if they don't get the onside kick, they have 2 TOs.

[BoulderSooner79]

Just wow. I guess Urban doesn't trust his D.

[Eielson]

Meyer playing to WIN.

[soonergirlNeugene]

pretty awful clock management by Urban Meyer

[SoonerMarkVA]

That was just about the dumbest 1st down play in this situation I've ever seen.

[BoulderSooner79]

This is how LSU lost to Bama when they had it won - a couple of different times.

[bluedogok]

Some **** poor blocking on that third down.

[Eielson]

Alabama was going to have a minute to score either way.

I applaud Meyer in going for it if he thought he saw something. He just guessed wrong.

[BoulderSooner79]

Bama loves to screen here.

[kenth68]

what the hell is osu doing? they're just rambling up to the line

[Eielson]

I'm bringing lots of pressure here if I'm Meyer.

[BoulderSooner79]

Great game. Now, go Ducks!

:D

[Eielson]

FINALLY the SEC looks weak.

[yermom]

Urban Meyer is pretty incredible, really

3rd QB of the year? really?

Utah, Florida and now tOSU. he has done this so much.

the national championship game looks like it should be fun

[BlownGP]

What a game......... Can't believe OSU pulled it off.

[Soonerfan88]

Good to see SEC and Criminoles lose.


And darn, I missed out on the snowblower. Anybody get anything good from the Mayhem sale?

[BoulderSooner79]

With this new CFB format, I think the SEC will win their share - but not more than their share. Under the old BCS system, it probably would have been Bama vs. FSU as the polls never punished a team for being undefeated. I think Bama would have crushed FSU this year. tOSU and UO probably would have been left out.

[Breadburner]

Fire Nick Saban......

[soonergirlNeugene]

Ohio State won b/c Bama wasn't playing a championship game.

[aurorasooner]

I think Bama would have crushed FSU this year. tOSU and UO probably would have been left out. Personally, I like more than 2 teams in a playoff, but I do like the BCS poll (including a % being dedicated to the computer ratings) instead of some committee choosing the 4 ( or more teams).
I also wouldn't mind seeing some weedeater bowl played before Christmas between the 4th and 5th team, if the 4th team wasn't clearly a lock, like this year--similar to an NFL wild card game.

Damn good game tonight.

[BoulderSooner79]

Harbaugh has his work cut out for him.

[yermom]

Fire Nick Saban......

they look like Baylor in bowls the last couple of years now

[soonercastor]

watching these games all day and couldn't stop thinking Stoops needs to get his **** together and get us in these playoffs.
That was exciting

[BoulderSooner79]

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Remember reading that under the old BCS it would have been FSU vs Bama ... and I agree in regards to the SEC and the new format. I know a lot of folks like to see the SEC lose given the recent run ... but the SEC isn't going anywhere. It's a fun league with major state schools across 11 states with a ton of passion for football. That said ... this new format is fantastic. It's great for college football that a Pac-12 and Big-10 team will play for it all this year ... it's great for interest in the game to see this played out on the field. I think the playoff will expand a bit but I really hope it doesn't go beyond 6 or 8 for the sake of the regular season and I'd love to keep it at conference champs only ... 1 per league, sorry Big-12, lol. But the playoff has brought back the fun of New Year's Day ... yesterday was the most enjoyable New Year's Day football watching I've had since the old days of bowl tie ins.

[jkjsooner]

I agree that this has brought back New Year's Day football. It's been a long time...

As for the SEC, looks like the west was severely overrated. (Still the best division but not near the media hype.) The top 5 teams in the west all lost and some looked horrible at it.

It certainly brings to mind the criticism you heard here often. You can't tell a lot from most of their OOC schedules and when they started losing within the west they weren't punished for it. It became a self fulfilling prophecy.

[Sabanball]

I think it's safe to say that SEC dominance is over. Congrats to Ohio State, they beat us straight up.

[FaninAma]

I think it's safe to say that SEC dominance is over. Congrats to Ohio State, they beat us straight up.

The era of SEC dominance might have looked a lot different if they had had a 4 or more team playoff a decade ago.

[soonergirlNeugene]

I think it's safe to say that SEC dominance is over. Congrats to Ohio State, they beat us straight up.

The important thing is that ESPN is now saying that. Whether they remember that next fall remains to be seen.

Honestly I think Bama fans have a right to be highly annoyed with ESPN and their conference brethren about this. This perception has largely been borrowed from the success of your program. This is even more apparent after their dramatic about-face following your loss to Ohio State last night. What should be seen as a modern-day Bama dynasty has been sold as a SEC dynasty. In selling that fraud, both ESPN and others in your conference have spread a tremendous accomplishment into a thin lie.

[Mac94]

What should be seen as a modern-day Bama dynasty has been sold as a SEC dynasty.

Bama was a huge part in it ... but Florida chipped in some MNCs, LSU had success, as did Auburn ... and three SEC schools had Heisman winners in that span. Bama was the lead dog, but not the only dog.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Yeah, but nobody would have noticed the other dogs if they weren't spreading Bama's credibility around.

[UteSooner]

Yep. SEC dominance was always about Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. Everyone else got a perception bump because of those 2 guys.

Just wait until the Harbaugh/Meyer duo does wonders for the Big 10's rep. I wonder what that will look like. Obviously won't be the same because Fox owns the Big 10 Network and not ESPN.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Yep, ESPN will choose another anointed from its conference partners and the process will start anew. IF they don't just revert back to the same old song and dance next August.

[Mac94]

The streak was Florida (Meyer), LSU (Miles), Florida (Meyer), Bama (Saban), Auburn (Chizik), Bama x2 (Saban) ... and Auburn played for it last yr under Malzahn but lost.

Most likely the game will even out some ... it's best for the sport to have powers in all the major conferences and real excitement in the bowl season. The SEC isn't going anywhere ... and that's a good thing ... it's good though that the Pac-12 has it's shot and it's good for the sport if the Big-10 is relevant. The ACC has some work to do and OU and Texas need to get it together.

[UteSooner]

Yes. LSU and Auburn were part of the streak. LSU in a year where no one stood out (LSU had 2 losses...not even "good" losses at that). And then Auburn (we'll say Cam Newton instead of Chizik).

[BoulderSooner79]

Agreed - as I said, the SEC will get their share. One only needs to look at the stream of players they send to the NFL who succeed at that level and the huge fan bases that support the teams. But even if there is a difference in conference strength, that difference gets razor thin when you look at the very best teams in each conference. That difference can be negated a good game plan or just one player having a lights-out performance. Yes, OU (and maybe the horns, grrr) need to get their act together and join in the fun.
