Posted on: October 10, 2014
Image via Norman Transcript
Another big slate of games and though it has clearly lost some of its luster from a national perspective, none bigger (for us) than the one going down in Big D tomorrow. I don’t even want to entertain the idea of what losing this game would mean, so we’ll just power through knowing that type of a result would set of an absolute firestorm.
But that won’t matter because we’re going to win, right?
I’ll throw out some suggestions, feel free to ignore them if you’d like, then you all can have at it in the comments section.
Suggested Predictions:
1. True or false – The coaching staff will be able to read the writing on the wall knowing a loss in this game effectively ruins this 2014 season and pull out all the stops in order to win this damn game.
2. Over/under – 1,253.5 combined number of times ‘Boomer Sooner’ is played + ‘Texas Sucks’ chants
3. Over/under – 134.5 yards rushing for Samaje Perine
4. Will a WR/TE other than Sterling Shepard/Durron Neal record a reception? And do they need to for OU to win?
5. Over/under – 4.5 sacks for the OU D on Tyrone Swoopes
6. True or false – Alex Ross will have a KO return for a TD.
7. True or false – A RB other than Ross/Perine will get at least one carry in this game
8. ______ will lead the team in tackles
9. The one thing (just one, no cheating) OU absolutely has to do, or avoid doing, to come away with a win Saturday?
10. Your OU/Texas final score is….
11. Your TCU/Baylor final score is….
12. Yes or no – You could find someone willing to pay you more than $5 per item for your autograph?
As always, feel free to add whatever other predictions you have for the weekend in the comments below.

12. For sure. I’m a notary and we’re allowed to charge $10 per time we notarize something.
True they know a loss is bad (coach speak after a loss = “still a lot to play for”) & True they don’t hold any plays back. False if the “writing” includes changing the the main defensive alignment…
2 OVER – I have seven-hundred sexat sucks chants in me alone.

10 31 for OU and 9 for PUKE orange suck team
11 Baylor 38 TCU 20

This time, I have to predict a dog fight down to the end. The TCU game exposed our weakness too well, which unfortunately, is coaching I think. This could be easily correctable, and damn it I hope it is! however, I have very little faith in Heup to call a decent gameplan, and I’m concerned the coaches as a whole, won’t have the players “up” for a second week in a row. Sounds to me like its ‘just another game’ to the Sooner staff, rather than freaking OU-TEXAS! and rather than a must win game after a loss…
But, Boomer Sooner baby!
OU wins in uncomfortable fashion, 28-25, possibly in OT.
1) They will most likely read the writing on the wall, but I don’t believe the coaches feel they need to “pull out all the stops”. I expect more frustration in this area … especially from JH.
2) Under
3) Under – He will continue to be forced to run up the middle ad nauseum due to JH’s tunnel vision.
4) Yes (Blake Bell), and yes they need to get away from only Neal and Shep. Texas’ D is good make no mistake, but I’m sure JH believes TCU was an aberration … I expect the same game plan from JH.
5) Over, I get the feeling Mike knows the D is gonna have to win this game, and they WILL bring the wood and try to create turnovers.
6) False. I believe he is being overcoached and is in danger of losing his confidence if he hasn’t already.
7) False … remember, JH has tunnel vision.
8) Dom Alexander
9) It’s all about the turnovers. Imagine where we’d be if tk9 hadn’t thrown that pick 6?
10) 28 – 21 OU – Swoooops has his best game of the season so far, but it won’t be enough to overcome the OU defense and its ability to create turnovers. C’mon guys/gals … doesn’t OU have a propensity to make opposing QBs look good??
11) 35 – 17 Baylor; TCU BARELY beat OU last weekend ‘cuz OU played sloppy, Baylor won’t allow TCU the opportunity to win … in Waco.
12) Yes
13) True/False – TRUE – Jordan Evans will have a highlight-reel-worthy play in the game.
14) True/False – TRUE – I will be drunk by halftime.
15) True/False – TRUE – Charlie Strong’s scalp will finally drip with sweat during his interview after the game.
1.Josh pull out all the stops?? I guess its possible.
2.Under
3.Over
4.Blake Bell or Alex Ross from the slot.
5.Over…..Mike is hungry after last weeks meltdown.
6.True
7.True Flowers or Brooks
8.Alexander
9.Playing conservatively.
10. 34-13
11.BU 38 TCU 31
12.Maybeeeeeeeee if they were simple-minded.
