[ouflak]

OU versus Tech!

[olevetonahill]

Ill Be around some
How ya been Tony?

[Turd_Ferguson]

He may be hanging out with the punters.

[Rogue]

Hoping ESPN2 comes through, the ABC broadcast is turning into the Michigan St game.

[Rogue]

Crap, I'm stuck with radio. Zac hurt?

[BigTip]

Looks good from Austin.
No rain in Norman!

[SCSoonerfan]

Zac in a lot of pain it appears on the turf.

[kenth68]

Damn. That's not good, first play. Did he have an injury before? He had it wrapped up already.

[SCSoonerfan]

Zac wheeled off to the locker room

[BigTip]

Off the field on a stretcher

[BigTip]

geez!!!

[BB37]

Fourth down, lucky to hang onto the fumble.

[kenth68]

just sloppy

[BigTip]

sometimes an offense goes TOO fast

[BB37]

Grounding flag on TT

[BigTip]

lol

[BigTip]

nice

[BB37]

TD MIXON!!!

[BigTip]

yup yup yup

[soonercastor]

Tech is ranked 126th out of 128 against the run, nationally. Forget about being balanced, just pound it.

[BB37]

That, and some stops by the Defense.

[BB37]

KK's going after Sanchez's replacement Dakota Austin.

[BB37]

PICK!!!! STRYKER!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Yes

[BB37]

TD PERINE!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Yes!

[BigTip]

Are they showing the game or is just a highlight reel?

NIIIIICE!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

Striker looked very comfortable running. Ball in left hand and using the stiff arm!

[BB37]

Shutout about to end...

[RedRiverBaron]

Hold them to 3 pts.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We shoulda called a time outback on the 30...

[BB37]

Fourth and goal...

[BB37]

Offensive PI on Tech, no TD

[SCSoonerfan]

3 is better than 7

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I love that! Nice job mixon

[BigTip]

Watching Samaje having success makes me re-double my questioning the play calling for the texasss game

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Watching Samaje having success makes me re-double my questioning the play calling for the texasss game

This

[BigTip]

lol, like I said, it's just a highlight reel today!

[SCSoonerfan]

Damn that was a nice run MIXON TD!

[soonercastor]

Watching Samaje having success makes me re-double my questioning the play calling for the texasss game

Lol, Texas Tech is AWFUL against the run. Like I said earlier, just pound it all day.

[SoCalBigRed]

I can't find any streams. :-(

And I dumped cable.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

PI?

[BB37]

Nice YAC by Westbrook on 3rd down.

[BB37]

Oh Geez!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Dang it

[BigTip]

Does Mayfield get credit for that tackle?

[BB37]

td tech. 14 point swing on that fumble.

[RedRiverBaron]

Hold onto that damn football.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Please just ruin their spirit. Don't let then hang around and build momentum....and hold on to the ****ing ball!!!

[JoeR]

I can't find any streams. :-(

And I dumped cable.

http://live.realstreamunited.com/streaming/free-live-video-streaming-texas-tech-oklahoma-other-american-football-ncaa-164252.html

[BB37]

Pick. Horrible.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Here we go

[BigTip]

Ackk!
Another tackle for Mayfield

[SCSoonerfan]

Momentum has def switched

[RedRiverBaron]

Wtf? Offense is shooting themselves in the foot here.

[Mookie91]

Mayfield is a blessing and a curse. Great arm, good mobility, terrible decision maker.

[kenth68]

Ackk!
Another tackle for Mayfield

Yep. One area I don't want to see him get good at through repitition.

[BB37]

td tech. Momentum has definitely shifted.

[Mookie91]

Apparently OU has two cornerbacks on the entire team

[SCSoonerfan]

In dire need of points this drive.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Unbelievable. Tds off turnovers on back to back drives for tech....we went full retard after going up by 21

[RedRiverBaron]

Well we now know the defense won't keep us in this game. Classic Mike Stoops defense.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

No advantage playing at home anymore. Zero

[Turd_Ferguson]

"what the **** just happened?". I think he knows very well wtf just happened.

[soonercastor]

Tech is ranked 126th out of 128 against the run, nationally. Forget about being balanced, just pound it.

Like I said...... But we're too concerned about being balanced and bad things keep happening when we pass. They stopped one run for no gain and we decide to start passing again. We were looking at 28-3, just like that it's 21-17

[soonercastor]

Well we now know the defense won't keep us in this game. Classic Mike Stoops defense.
You're blaming the defense for this? Are you dumb?

[BB37]

Well we now know the defense won't keep us in this game. Classic Mike Stoops defense.

Neither of the tt scores can be pinned on the defense.

[FaninAma]

I have become accustomed to Stoops' teams being Jeckyl and hyde between games but now they are doing it during games.

[tooslow]

It's a little strange that the only 2 teams that Mayfield has something to prove against, whorns and tech, he has looked nothing like he has against all the other teams. Tech has a very bad D. Hell, I say we ditch the pass and go with all running plays. (Half joking, of course.)

[OU Adonis]

Well we now know the defense won't keep us in this game. Classic Mike Stoops defense.


Let's blame the defense for two starting possessions inside the 50. Sounds legit

[RedRiverBaron]

Are you watching the same game? Our defense isn't stopping Tech from putting points on the board.

[Mookie91]

This has nothing to do with coaching. Baxter f'd up and OU got punched. Then Mayfield crapped his pants and OU took another shot. Players have to make plays.

[BB37]

Finally got one to Shep!

[Mookie91]

Finally got one to Shep!

Had a deep 50/50 ball that he could have caught

[BB37]

Are you watching the same game? Our defense isn't stopping Tech from putting points on the board.

The fumble was returned inside the 10, the pick returned inside the 35. Neither of those were the fault of the defense.

[BoulderSooner79]

That TT guys just laid down with no contact. Either weird injury, or just to get a "timeout"

[BB37]

TD PERINE!

[BoulderSooner79]

That TT guys just laid down with no contact. Either weird injury, or just to get a "timeout"

Didn't help 'em

[DrZaius]

woop woop

[BoulderSooner79]

If we just hang onto the ball, no way they can catch up.

Football is more fun when their D-line can't abuse your O-line.

[Mookie91]

Need a defensive stop here.

[RedRiverBaron]

You're right the turnovers aren't the defense's fault, however, the points are.

[BB37]

PICK SHANNON!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

avalanche coming

[BB37]

WELCOME BACK FRANK SHANNON!!!

[SoCalBigRed]

Indiana just caught up to MSU, 20-21

[jiminy]

That was a bad drop

[BB37]

Hit him in the hands and he couldn't hang on... And Siebert misses his first FG.

[jiminy]

That was a bad FG miss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

How do you not catch that?!!! And then we miss a fg? Wtf. Leave points on the field

[OU Adonis]

You're right the turnovers aren't the defense's fault, however, the points are.

You are either a troll or just stupid.

[BoulderSooner79]

Dang true frosh!

[SCSoonerfan]

Jebus missed TD missed FG. Fail possession all around.

[Mookie91]

Damn coaching dropping TD passes and missing FGs

[BoulderSooner79]

All part of the plan to keep up the drama.

[RedRiverBaron]

Just in time for the defense to give Tech some points.

[BB37]

Bob's wearing his visor again, that's our problem.

[BoulderSooner79]

Bob's wearing his visor again, that's our problem.

Holy sh*t - you're right. Can anyone text a message to the sideline?

[SoCalBigRed]

4-3 Indiana taking #7 MSU into halftime 20-21 at half.

Quit yer bitchin'

And that's all I get to watch, other than I think Ohio St versus like Grambling or something?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

So aggravating

[BB37]

PICK AUSTIN!!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

Pick on Austin, won't ya ? haha

[SoCalBigRed]

OU will adjust, they play better 2nd half this year (with the exception of texas... though, they did play better in the 2nd half, just not good enough)

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I take it back! That's awesome

[BB37]

End of Q2: 28-17 OU

[jiminy]

Great int by Austin... smart to look for open field, not see it and take the knee

[BoulderSooner79]

Just in time for the defense to give Tech some points.

Wrong - just padding our INT stats - that was the plan all along.

[SoonerorLater]

You are either a troll or just stupid.

or both

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

1st Down!

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Go Mixon!

[BB37]

Mayfield was downfield blocking on the long Mixon run.

[BB37]

TD ANDREWS!!!!!

[SCSoonerfan]

:46 second TD drive to start the 2nd half. Thats the way you do it!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

TE TD!!

[BoulderSooner79]

Riley is really mixing it up the last 2 games. Good thing Sooner fans are patient while coaching install a new scheme. HaHa

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Mahommes is the fastest slow guy I've ever seen

[jiminy]

We need to get some hits on this QB... put the fear o' Jesus in him

[BB37]

Dumb late hit OOB.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Have we sacked Mahommes today? We had some pressure earlier in the game, but we're not even getting close now

[jiminy]

But inbounds please

[BB37]

4th down, FG time for tt

[BoulderSooner79]

BS call - that QB slipped w/o being touched out of bounds. Our guy was just too close, so he got burned

[jiminy]

TT makes our oline look golden

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I love that mother****er

[BoulderSooner79]

Mead caught one - woo hoo!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

These RBs just make me happy

[BoulderSooner79]

Good to see Mixon get enough carries to get into a rhythm

[BB37]

TD PERINE!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

That was EZ !

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Yes!!! ****. Yes.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Great block by flowers.

[BoulderSooner79]

That Grant is one dangerous dude. Good thing he only gets the ball after we score a TD

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

3rd & 10 and we give up 15 smh

[BoulderSooner79]

3rd & 10 and we give up 15 smh

hey, they picked up our blitz - it happens

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Please get pressure on the qb

[BoulderSooner79]

Hope we don't need those TOs. Won't if we keep scoring

[jiminy]

He was oob

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Good thing our offense came out of the half pumped up, cause the defense hasn't really had an answer. They've moved the ball pretty well on our d this half

[BoulderSooner79]

Goal line stand? (probably not)

[BB37]

Looks like he was OOB at the 1.5

[jiminy]

time for another Striker interception

[BoulderSooner79]

time for another Striker interception

Not until after we score again

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I certainly would have liked to see us keep them under 30.... The way they are moving on our defense, that doesn't seem likely

[BB37]

Here's hoping for a nice, looooong, clock-eating drive.

[BB37]

Nice YAC by Mixon for the first down.

[jiminy]

Mixon REALLY wanted that first down

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Wow mixon would not be denied

[Jack T.]

Hand the ball off, let that clock run.

[BB37]

And another tech "injury"

[SCSoonerfan]

Yeah you have to fall on the ground and roll around in pain from a finger injury

[BB37]

PI on tech.

[BoulderSooner79]

Bailout call on that PI - but I'll take it

[BB37]

And ANOTHER "injury" for tt

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Nice that TT is saving all their time outs and using injuries instead....

[bluedogok]

The Tech defense must be taking lessons from their soccer team....

[BB37]

TD NEAL!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Beautiful pass by baker there!

[BoulderSooner79]

Go for 2 to get the half a hundred !

[jiminy]

Oh yeahh!!

There needs to be a way to punish teams for faking injuries... maybe require the "injured" player to stay out the rest of the possession

[BoulderSooner79]

Oh yeahh!!

There needs to be a way to punish teams for faking injuries... maybe require the "injured" player to stay out the rest of the possession

How about just lighting up the scoreboard on them?

[aurorasooner]

Perine and Mixon have sure made some nice cuts today to the open hole. I don't understand why BM is throwing the long ball when we've been successful with the short easy routes and the RB screens for YAC.

Shouldn't complain though, we're one short of half a hundred and the 3rd isn't even over yet.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Gotta keep'em honest I guess

[BB37]

End of Q3, OU 49-27

[jiminy]

How about just lighting up the scoreboard on them?

Well, that's good medicine if you got it

[bluedogok]

The Tech defense started packing the box, need to do something to loosen up the defense.

[BB37]

TRRW is on the sideline. Suit him up!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I see the pokes are wearing the prison outfits today. Nice helmets. How do you get the stickers to stay on?

[BoulderSooner79]

they've talked about more rules to stop fake injuries, but it's tough. don't want real injuries to hurt a team because hurt players will try to get off the field even if they are seriously injured. also, don't want refs put in the position of judging injuries, so I don't expect things to change

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Quit trying to strip the ball and tackle the little ****er

[BoulderSooner79]

Will Johnson is really cramping

[BoulderSooner79]

51 almost took out his own coach haha

[BB37]

FINALLY, a sack!

[BB37]

SACK!!!!! OU ball!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Finally! A ****ing sack!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

It Mixon/Perine time. It would be nice for Mayfield to get 1 one in-you-face-TD for Cliffy

[BB37]

Another long drive, please.

[BB37]

Complete to DDWB at the 20.

[BoulderSooner79]

Nice throw

[BoulderSooner79]

I wish BM wouldn't run it anymore this game

[BB37]

Late hit on tt. First and goal at the 2

[BoulderSooner79]

Score here and TK should be able to take over

[BB37]

TD PERINE!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

200 yards/ 4TDs for Perine !

[SCSoonerfan]

Perine was in Beast Mode for today! Hope it continues for the rest of the season.

[jiminy]

Oh, I know... but if we could limit it to the most likely scenario, say when a defensive player goes down on the field, hold him out for the rest of the possession. That leaves the ref out of the judgement call, and if the player is seriously hurt, they probably aren't coming back in the possession anyway. Or as an alternative, hold them out for 3 or 4 plays instead of one. Just something to make teams think twice before pulling that crap.

[BB37]

Another sack!

[BB37]

PICK! DOM!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Austin looks like a little kid wearing his dad's shirt.

[BoulderSooner79]

Players may not know they are seriously hurt because they are running on adrenaline. Concussed players could be confused. So if they are coached to get off the field, they may try when they shouldn't. All these issue have been discussed and that's why they have not further changed the rules past the current ones.

[BB37]

Austin looks like a little kid wearing his dad's shirt.

But he's not playing like it.

[BoulderSooner79]

Austin looks like a little kid wearing his dad's shirt.

But doing a good job in a tough situation!

[BB37]

Score here and TK should be able to take over

You were correct, sir!

Ok you win... I'm just mad cause Tech has been doing it a LOT today

[BoulderSooner79]

Ok you win... I'm just mad cause Tech has been doing it a LOT today

They weren't my points - I'm just the parrot :D

It's a level playing field, but most coaches choose not to do it.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Austin looks like a little kid wearing his dad's shirt.

But doing a good job in a tough situation!

True dat

[BB37]

TK for the first down.

[BB37]

TD ROSS!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

First career rushing TD for Ross ?! I would have never guessed.

[jiminy]

They weren't my points - I'm just the parrot :D

It's a level playing field, but most coaches choose not to do it.

Yep, well I hope Bob has some good-natured sarcasm for Kingsbury at the midfield handshake. Like "well I hope your entire defensive line makes a full recovery"

[jiminy]

I think Austin might tackle better than Sanchez

[BB37]

I suggest game balls for Frank Shannon and Dakota Austin.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Baylor QB with a broken neck?

[BoulderSooner79]

Baylor QB with a broken neck?

fracture reported on ESPN. probably hairline since they didn't know it until after the game. Return timeline unknown.

[OU Adonis]

I think Austin might tackle better than Sanchez


Pretty sure that is anyone.

[swardboy]

I think Austin might tackle better than Sanchez

^this

[BoulderSooner79]

I think Austin might tackle better than Sanchez


Pretty sure that is anyone.

Sanchez didn't miss any tackles today and had a pass defended

[swardboy]

Any update on Sanchez' injury?

[SoonerorLater]

Any update on Sanchez' injury?

Ankle sprain I hear.

[BoulderSooner79]

There is a thread on LT that claims sprained ankle, but not quoting a source. But that doesn't tell much since a first degree sprain can be a couple days lost practice while a third degree can be season ending. Since he was carted off, I'm guessing he'll miss some games.

[aurorasooner]

Just looked at the scoreboard.

Wow Clemson mud-holed Miami worse than they did us in last year's weedeater bowl.

How about some luv for BV's D.

61 total plays -146 yds

rushes 29-53

passing yds 93 13-32-3

Corn got beat by NW. Vanderbilt beat Mizzou. Beamer got beat again. Wazzu beat Arizona LMAO. Utah State only put up 14 against San Diego St. Tonight is aTm's 1st game away from Collie Station. Miss leads 16-3 at the half, another TD for Miss called back/chop block & the ags picked Miss on the next play. USCw leads Utah by 21-14 with about 1 min to go to the half. oh my. USC just pick 6ed Utah. Now leads by 11.

Do any of our previous opponents so far have a winning record?

We were 10-13 on 3rd downs and 1-1 on 4th today. We had 3 TOs but TT had 4. HCBS sounded pizzed with the interview at HT with the curt ""thank you. We had over 400 yds rushing to TT's 183. 617 total yards to 436.

If we don't cough one of the next 2 up, our last 3 games possibly could be another run like Red October in 2000, especially rushing the ball like we did today. While we might not make the final 4 with that ridiculous loss to the whorns, we would definitely be in the conversation especially if we have a string of half-a-hundred games for some style

If tOSU can make it with that even more ridiculous loss to VT last year, we can definitely make it.

I'll say it right now. We run the table, and we are in.

[BoulderSooner79]

If tOSU can make it with that even more ridiculous loss to VT last year, we can definitely make it.

I'll say it right now. We run the table, and we are in.

Agree. We wind them all, and we're in - guaranteed.

We won't get in - guaranteed.

[Okie35]

If tOSU can make it with that even more ridiculous loss to VT last year, we can definitely make it.

I'll say it right now. We run the table, and we are in.

Given the fact that Utah and Florida state lost yes... we will have beaten 2 top ten teams and maybe 1 top 25 (I don't know if the pokes will stay there)
