When is the aggie lite spring game?

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Is it on ESPN like OU?

What is the attendance? vs. OU?

TIA

[OSUAggie]

April 14th

No

30,000 (hopefully)

The most powerful offense in the world will be there, however.

[sooner518]

-there will be free parking
-there WILL be 30,000 fans* in attendance
-THE MOST powerful offense in the entire world WILL be on display

I wouldnt miss it for the world :D





*-sheep may be herded into the stands to meet Coach Gundy's 30K challenge

[OU-HSV]

It might be on t.v. on the "Animal Planet"...cause I heard there's sheep involved

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Okay, I've been traveling alot lately and am not clued in...

What is this "most powerful offense in the world" thing everyone is joking about?

Yeah the POSSE club sends out all kinds of stupid ****. I just throw it away. Although they sent out key chain attachments with a bar code that they can just scan you into all of their events, so I guess that's something that they've done right.

30,000? You have GOT to be freaking kidding me. No way in HELL you draw 30k to your spring game, unless you're giving away free sheep. You're lucky to draw 40 to a REAL GAME.

but hey, it's good to dream. and by 'good to dream' I mean 'good for us to watch you dream and then get beatdown while watching your dreams get flushed down the toilet every year'.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

[BASSooner]

Aggie lite is having a spring game? What else did I miss?

[MichiganSooner]

Read part of a post from an osu forum about a recent practice session of the World's Greatest Offense.

Offense.
First team, not too sharp, second team defense had way too much success from my view. Bobby did not have a great day throwing, particularly early, he was very good with runs. Several of his throws were knee cap or below, but he does have a cannon. Effortlessly flipping the ball 55 yards into the wind, unfortunately just a pace over thrown but he knows what he is doing. Some of his short throws were hurried and he put a little too much mustard on them given the weather conditions, perhaps a good learning experience. Receivers, including Bowman, also had a few drops.

The offensive line had Koenig at left guard, Bond at right tackle. My guess is the first line is close to being set.
Second team is still in progress, I believe Noah Franklin twisted an ankle, we will probably not see him next week. Line blocking decent, ways to go before we are ready for a game between the hedges.

WR
Too many drops, a few good catches. Pettigrew pulled one in at his ankles as we was running, extremely impressive, but he also dropped a couple of gimmes.

[OSUAggie]

Might as well not even play the season now... :rolleyes:

Maybe we can go 16-15!

[Fraggle145]

I think Woods made Bobby ICantRead look better than he is... we all know that he was the clutch reciever (see who they threw it to during the entire OU game). I never feared Bowman, but the Woods are the only ones to ever beat us that I have seen with my own eyes (excluding the 90s which I dont think ever hapopened). Are there any more of them left? I hate that family...

Donovan Woods is still on the team, but on defense. And at receiver is... Artrell Woods (http://www.okstate.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=1421&SPID=143&DB_OEM_ID=200&ATCLID=304681&Q_SEASON=2007). I have to mention that Artrell isn't one of the Rashaun, D'Juan, Donovan clan, but maybe, just maybe he'll live up to that name. :-)

[MichiganSooner]

If they pull 30,000 to watch the world's greatest offense in the spring game they outdraw us by 9,000.

[Ardmore_Sooner]

Well, I'm just quoting one of the most famous quotes from Stoolwater. If you have never said that you must not be an aggie lite fan.

I'm not sure if we'll get 30k, but it's looking like we will be close. Witch would mean we would outdraw OU. When was the last time that happened for a spring game? Has it ever? Anyway, just have to wait and see on this one.

or maybe WE can get beat out in the first round of the NIT by a team that was barely picked to play in it.


just remember foo......we were predicting a baaaaad basketball season this year. you guys were the ones that just knew you were final four bound.....



ps. sorry bout the "baaad" above. i know you got a chub out of it and now have to go hammer your wood.

[Jello Biafra]

We don't choose you as 1 of our 3 opponents to draw a sellout every year in basketball.



this coming from a fan of a team that sells 3 game season ticket packages to OU fans just so you can call the other two games "sell outs" at booger pickens.

since we had it on the espn and all....i would guess there was another 50-75k in the okc area that watched it on tv.


you guys didn't really get that option now did ya? did you outdraw us? maybe. did we care? eh...... it was on tv, there were no opposing teams to harass, we can drink beer on the couch and we are still undefeated with or without the fans in the stands. which would YOU rather have?

[Jello Biafra]

Donovan Woods is still on the team, but on defense. And at receiver is... Artrell Woods (http://www.okstate.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=1421&SPID=143&DB_OEM_ID=200&ATCLID=304681&Q_SEASON=2007).

I don't really think that we'll get 30k, but if you're actually offering, then I'd be more then willing to put down 5 bucks. I think the odds are a lot higher then that that we hit it. So if you're serious, I'll take it.

that wouldn't be far off from the regular season average.

again there Zach, our spring game has been on national tv a few times.

and just to be clear, you are putting your $5 against my $2500 that you have 30,000 fans show up in your stadium for the spring game.

[OSUAggie]

I'm in for $5,000.

[OU4LIFE]

5 bucks I believe he'll own up to, $5,000, is pure silliness. You know you'll never pay up.

[OSUAggie]

I'll send you a check for the down payment.

[poke4christ]

and just to be clear, you are putting your $5 against my $2500 that you have 30,000 fans show up in your stadium for the spring game.

Yes, I am. I am more then willing to put up 5 bucks for that kind of payoff. You obviously believe that there is no chance. You might want to stew on that a little bit. Make dang sure it's not just your crimson colored glasses here because you actually are putting 2500 dollars on the table for only a 5 dollar pay off.

Anyway, I'm in agreement here.

[Sooner in Tampa]

You dip$hit$ are plain out dillusional if you think you are going to draw 30k sheephumpers for your spring game...you can barely do it for a regular game.

[OU4LIFE]

well, the point here being, as stated in the original bet, is that you put 30,000 in the seats for the spring game.

not 29,999, not 30,001, but 30,000.

needless to say, I like my chances, a LOT. you morans.

Can we have Sherri Coale come count for us?

[poke4christ]

Funny though, we'd really have only the game estimate to go on. This number is normally a rounded off number in the thousands (for example, 15,000 for last years and 21,000 for OU this year). Given that, my chances probably wasn't as bad as you might think.

Well since ours was a) on ESPN and b) played in 40 degree weather with blowing wind I can't imagine why more people didn't show up.

That's Aggie Lite for ya, "We outdrew OU in the spring game! We're on the rise baby! Here we come!"

you're really becoming the average oSu prick/idiot. 4life works in Stillwater and has to put up with you knobs on a daily basis. I feel his pain.

You're the one that sported small wood for even the thought of having more folks at your spring game than OU. The entire idea/dream/circle jerk is gay, even if it actually happens.
Our point is that our game has brought in 40,000 quite a few times. Has been on ESPN quite a few times and was played last weekend in ultra cold weather whilst being nationally televised.

Crimson colored glasses need not apply.

4life and I had quite the civil PM and we both agreed that the chances of getting 30k+ at the OSU spring game was around 20%. I made that post out of thoughfulness for him.

We all have our respective glasses. I've got my orange colored glasses and you guys have your crimson ones. Ignoring the fact that they exist only leads to problems, which is why I made the above post to begin with. It was a curtosy, not being a prick.

Sherri Coale (and probably others) said there were 40,000 people there. It was actually in the neighborhood of 20,000, which was displayed by ESPN towards the end of the game.

[Boomer.....]

Yeah, I saw 20-21K.

During the game, the announcers said over and over there were 40,000 there. Later, Sheri Coale gave the same figure. Looking at the stands, it was ovbious every other seat was not occupied,

At the end, a grahic said 21,000+.

[picasso]

nobody really seems to care other than opposing fans.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Well, the crowd seemed good, sorry it was so cold and a holiday weekend, my 50-inch plasma and warm living room with beverages was just fine. Probably held down the crowd.

The Red-White Game was televised live. 21,000 attended; the price to get in was $5.00 in advance or $10.00 the day of the game; students were free.

At osu, the game is NOT televised; they have the world's greatest offense; the admission is FREE to everyone. So, if you guys manage to draw 22,000 to your FREE game, OU is way ahead in the revenue that Mike Holder covets. By the way, I wonder how much OU got from the TV broadcast?

I guess it is like your great bowl trip to Shreveport, about a 6 hour drive for most of your fans. The tickets are FREE cuz a donor buys most of them for your great fans who "travel well".

I love how our game was on ESPN, and at least Texas had their game on Fox Sports Net, but the aggie lite spring game is second fiddle to the OU-Nebbish baseball game! We just can't get enough airtime!

White team will be called the visitors. Reid's already guaranteed victory for the Orange team. I still can't believe Gundy's letting the QB's take shots. :fingerscrossed:

Poor poke. This is like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer - it feels so good when you stop. Perhaps you should toddle off to the poke board and quit setting yourself up to be the butt of all jokes Aggie Lite.

By the way, KTUL said you all had 10 to 15,000 there at the half. Guess
that 30K thing didn't work out.

Suck it up, or stay away for a while. There's a reason I don't sign-up at other schools sites, cause I don't fuggin care what they think about OU or me. Makes it pretty easy.

I'm looking outside right now in stillwater. Looks fin to me. Gametime forecast is sunny and 52 degrees (high of 55). That ain't bad and I don't think anybody will be scared off. I'm not necessarily saying we'll get 30k, but I want to see some people eating crow when we are over 20k. My actual prediction for today is 25k.

I also have to say, I don't consider 18k sad by any means (that's about what we had a the beginning of play). However, that doesn't make me any more right.

[usmc-sooner]

tv and radio said you had between 10-15000, and since there was no ticket sales, I'm guessing closer to 10,000.

[poke4christ]

each side holds around 22k and each side was around 35 to 40 percent full. Pluss, you have to take into account the club level which you can count at 1200. so that's at least 16.4k right there (which I think is low).

Also, it was a full game without between the same team so it wasn't as exciting as a normal game. People trickled out. You might have heard a number they were saying from later on. I'm talking about at the beginning.

[usmc-sooner]

Crowd decent but not 30,000

The OSU spring game is downright entertaining. Bobby Reid's Orange team is tied with Zac Robinson's White team 20-20. The play is solid, the competition good. Even a decent atmosphere.

The crowd is estimated at 15,000 -- I might say it's closer to 12,000, but no big deal -- and while that's far shy of Mike Gundy's stated goal of 30,000, it's not bad for a cool evening after a cold day.

Fun football. The split squad format is far preferable to a scrimmage. You can sort of get a feel for a team in real-game situations. Third-and-short. Goal line. Field position.

The OSU running game looks solid. Dantrell Savage and Keith Toston have both impressed, but even Julius Crosslin and John Johnson have looked good. Through three quarters, Savage had 72 yards on 8 carries, Toston 66 on 12, Crosslin 54 on 9 and Johnson 50 on 9. So that's 242 yards on 38 carries from State tailbacks.

And each team is trying to outlateral the other. The White got a touchdown on a double pass; Zac Robinson threw a (supposedly) sideways pass to Seth Newton, who then fired a 65-yard TD pass to Artrell Woods. The play should have been disallowed, since Robinson's initial pass went forward.

Moments later, the Orange retaliated by getting a throwback pass from slotback Donovan Woods (yes, Donovan Woods) to quarterback Alex Cate, which went for a big gain.
All great fun, which made for a good spring game.

I saw some clips. there wasn't any more there than the previous sad years of your program.
the fact that Hundsucker and Dorito and Holcombe weren't whizzing themselves about the crowd says a lot, because those guys can spin a yarn about absolutely nothing at all.

[Collier11]

I dont think too many states have one school that is so dominant over the other! Except for maybe Michigan

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

Is there a Hawaii aTm?

[OSUAggie]

There isn't another state with more than one major football program in America that a school dominates as much as Oklahoma. It's a completely unique situation that has been the standard since the early 20th century. Having said that, OSU has definitely played into the situation by not committing any resources to football (party b/c we didn't have much cash, partly b/c of a "what's the point?" attitude).

With the monetary commitment to athletic facilities currently taking place, that is obviously changing a bit. I don't think it’s realistic to believe anything drastic is going to happen as far as the dichotomy of the situation between each school is concerned, but I do think OSU will be much, much more competitive both within the state and otherwise.

[picasso]

well things have already changed due to parity from scholly limits. that's been a bigger help than Booger's money.

eh, I disagree. When you have a ****ty product, you're not gonna fill those schollies with anything worth a damn. Elite teams, compared to those that are not, still pretty much cherry pick prospects.

And as much as people talk about parity, who's the last school to win a national title that was a non-football school? It's still a contest between the SEC, OU, Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, SC and a couple of ACC teams every year. Nebraska, Bama and Pennsylvania State are the only 3 elite schools that are "down" right now, and all they've done is fall back into the pack where 40 other teams play.

[Collier11]

True, I think OU will always be the most important, most dominant program in the state for many reasons. But I think we are long gone from the 77-17 days. Its def. gonna get alot closer, 75-18!

[OU4LIFE]

OSU will get better, but I honestly don't care how much of Boone's money they throw at that program, it never going to sustain year after year of winning. It just won't. They will have years when they get Barry Sanders type of players, and they will make a nice run, and get 10-11 wins, but it won't be like at Mich. OU or Ohio State where they just plug in more athletes and keep going.

I think if they show up every 7-8 years with a 10-11 win team, that's all they can really expect.

I don't necessarily disagree with this, at all.

However, I feel like it brings up a question. Is there room for any program to climb into the national picture? I think the last few to do so were the Florida schools...

Is it at all possible for OSU to attain the level of success that, say, Auburn has had the past 10-15 years?

[OU4LIFE]

I think it would be INCREDIBLY hard for a team in the midwest to do it.

The reason I think you see it happen in Florida is the amount of talent in that state, and they want to stay close to home. SO when the big boys are full up on scholly's they rest of the talent falls to the other guys.

Oklahoma just doesn't have the kind of football talent to support three or so schools.

BUT, if Gumby turns out to be the real deal as a coach and recruiter, I could see OSU making a 10 years run of winning seasons...IF he can get the talent in.

[JohnnyMack]

I predict that mid-level BCS programs such as osu are going to find it nearly impossible to become a sustained national power. Schools like osu, Oregon State, Michigan State, et al have the potential to have a good string of years if all the stars align and the team avoids injury, has a favorable schedule and gets some lucky breaks. I don't think we'll see one of these mid-level schools explode on the scene like we saw with SUC and become perenially elite.

I believe that the next set of schools that will explode on to the national scene will do so from major metropolitan areas. Schools like UCLA, UW, Georgia Tech, Arizona State and the like are the schools that have the best shot at becoming perenially elite. Just my belief that the lure of for lack of a better phrase, "stuff to do" will become a much stronger draw than it already is.

[Collier11]

Just look at the past three years of good recruits that Gundy has gotten and it has only gotten them 4th in the south.

[OSUAggie]

That's interesting about the schools that have a shot of attaining a higher status being from major metro areas. UCLA and UW are a couple of schools that fall into my list of complete underachievers. Karl seems to have the ship righted a bit in Westwood, however.

I think the highest level OSU can realistically expect to reach would be that of Virginia Tech. Similar situation with the "country" atmosphere in Blacksburg compared to Stillwater. The only difference is that UVA is **** while OU is a top-5 program.

[OSUAggie]

I really think UW is a sleeping giant. There isn't another school in that part of the country that has the recruiting base to pull from and pump it directly into a major university that's located in a city that size. If football ever became a priority at UW, they could finish in the top 2 or 3 of the Pac-10 from here on out.

UCLA is rising and with as many people as you have in the LA basin, there's more than enough to share in terms of a recruiting base between them and SUC.

[Collier11]

There is really no reason that Washington, UCLA, MISSOURI, and MIAMI ARE not in the top 20 every year!

[OSUAggie]

Mizzou?

[Collier11]

Yea mizzou, think about it. They are the only major university in the state, they have free reign over St. Louis, Jeff City, Kansas City, plus they can dip into Illinois, Okla, and tex. There is really no reason that they shouldnt be a top 20-25 team every year in football and bball IMHO!

[OSUAggie]

hmm... ok.

Of course, Mizzou always had to play with Nebraska and Oklahoma, so they were sorta in the same boat as Colorado, KU and OSU with sporadic periods of sucess (with hopes of a 3rd place finish) followed by mediocre periods.

They have always underachieved except for a few years here and there. there is just too much talent in KC AND St Louey for them to not atleast be a top 25 team year in and out, especially in bball!

[snp]

The state of Missouri is not a great source of talent. Pretty much equal to Oklahoma, a few 4-stars the rest are taken by mid-level BCS teams and mid-majors . They won't be able to cherry pick any of the talent that is in the states you say, because there are much better options. And it's not like they're heavily invested in football in the first place.

Basketball I can see them being challengers for second place in the North, but not football.

I'm surprised when UW doesn't do better. Their fans are pretty loyal - and besides, you can tailgate on a yacht and still have plenty of time to get to the game. Pretty Cool!

Actually, Michigan State has won national championships in football. And for that matter, in basketball. Oklahoma is the only state I can think of where one college dominates the rest. Ohio with the Buckeyes does dominate that state and there are lots of D1 schools in Ohio.

No, its not 2 states.

Ohio is the only one I can think of that might be close. Toledo, Bowling Green, and Miami are 3 Ohio universities who have been regularly sent to bowls, have been more than respectable playing the majors in their non-conference games, and have been ranked. Oklahoma State has been to a few bowls in recent years, beats its non-conference opponents generally but they are usually cupcakes and when they play those considered majors,
ie. conference play, they finish toward the bottom, and have rarely been ranked in the past 10 years. So Oklahoma is the #1 state.
