And third….
Boomer! Damn we don’t play today.
Would love to see Florida win. SEC should get left out if that happens.
agreed.
Most likely. But I don’t put it past the “committee” to try to make a case for Florida.
I just want to go to Dallas for New Years!! Fill that city with Crimson!
I live in Dallas and this would be epic

The Legend
TRUTH! And he still comes around to support when he can.
You forgot William & Mary vs Richmond! Getting my viewing room ready.
Exactly what I’m watching the Tribe is my FCS team.
Can OU play oSu again today? Maybe we can take it easier on them.
Can certainly watch it again!
https://youtu.be/HEJ0Nqcom4U
You know, I don’t mind if I do watch it again!
Certainly beats watching Bayor-Texsa,
I feel like I’ve spitting in my family’s face by saying this, but:
I want UT to beat Bay (they won’t). I just can’t stand Bay and don’t want them saying, as they are now, “We’ve been either #1 or #2 last 3 yrs.” Oh, well, they will be able to say that. I feel like I need to go and take a bath now pulling for UT ever.
Texas jumped out in front, 7-0 but way early in this game.
Cougars got a pick and drove it in for 7, very early.
I hope BU ties it up and a tornado hits, forcing them to call the game. No winners. Let them say they have been good for 3 years then you point to 9 Big 12 titles, 7 NCs, and 5 Heismans.
Who’s this guy on gameday with the Iowa shirt?
Chuck Long shoutout on Gameday, lol. Where the hell is Chuck these days?
Grapevine
I think Florida will be excited about this game, and they will bring the wood to Henry. Gators just don’t have enough offense to keep their D off the field, and they wilt in the second half. Bama 26 Florida 9
FL scoring 9 might be a stretch. Have they scored 9 pts total in the previous 12 games?
Nine points would be an offensive explosion, but I think they force a couple of turnovers in Bama territory and kick some FGs. Maybe…
I think I picked Bama 28-10.
just heard some good news for OU. Coleman ran out with the seniors b/f the game.
But…he isn’t a Senior.
/idjit
obviously I knew that. that was the point. why call me an idiot?
No, sorry. Calling the idjit that isn’t a Senior for running out with the Seniors.
Pet peeve of mine, Senior Day is for Seniors only.
Sorry. I interpreted that to be towards me. No problem. Agree with you on that point.
Ogbah did same last week with little bro. Has Stoops ever done that for a junior?
Peterson? I don’t remember, but if Stoops did that, I would think AD would have been an example.
And Blackmon did it for the pokes a few years ago, first time I ever saw it.
I do not like seeing players given unearned honors or recognition, unless they have actually graduated or are graduating at the end of the fall semester.
You must love that Davidson refuses to retire Steph Curry’s number until he graduates too. I love that they are sticking to that.
I was thinking of that, and then thought, EasTex doesn’t follow the NBA. lol But maybe he does?
I owe you one order of crispy tots. 🙂
Who did what to whom?
Don’t know those names.
Desmond Howard hates OU. Has anyone else noticed that? He is extremely negative about OU all year, every year.
GO COOGS!
Texsa up 7-0 on Baylor. So, if texsa wins, does that help or hurt our conference image?
Hurt, big time.
Sort of what I was thinking…
How would that hurt? Just would prove Texas has a problem playing everyone except the top 2 teams. And won’t be enough to knock Baylor out of the top 25. West Virginia actually will have more of an impact on our conference. If they win they might sneak into the top 25.
Good points. Just thinking it wont look good if Texsa blows them out, considering Baylor is 21 pt favorites..
A blow out would look bad. But I don’t think Texas is capable of a blow out.
Well Zack, its beginning to look nasty.
Already edited my previous comment lol
It’s not good.
Shouldn’t. Baylor is on their third string QB, and they have to be careful with him as they don’t really have a fourth.
Thats a good point.
I’m thinking it won’t matter. I think OU’s in and anything that would hurt Bay’s recruiting and knock them off their high horse I think helps OU in recruiting.
I hope they both lose !
If only! LOL
So that Houston game next year…..we better be ready to play week 1 b/c they are well coached, and Herman is sticking around. Not sure what they lose, player-wise, but that will be a nice challenge early in the year.
Another bad thing about Herman staying…..those recruits from the Houston area that they’ve convinced to go there, probably will in fact go there. Mostly talking about Oliver, and maybe Cleveland.
We can expect to play 2 ranked teams OOC. If we get by them next season nobody would have a stronger early resume.
TOUGH schedule next year, at least on paper.
Quality Houston team in Houston.
Good Ohio State team in Norman.
TCU in FTW.
RRR in Dallas.
TT on the road. Always a weird game there.
Baylor in Norman.
WVU on the road, late in the season (potential for weather issues), sandwiched between Baylor and OSU games.
OSU in Norman.
VERY solid home schedule.
I hope they are the returning AAC champ and ___ bowl champs with a 13-1 record when the Sooners face them next year as the defending national champs.
And I hope Cleveland is a starting WR at OU. 🙂
Sure hope he chooses the good guys, along with Jones.
Texas up 10-0. Now they just need to stop the run with 6 and play coverage. I would send one extra guy each time.
Dino Babers to “Cuse.
Baylor looking decidedly uninspired
hahahahahahahaah….baylor just tried to run with that big ass TE. hahah
Trick play bonanza this game for the bears..
Guys like that, ya just take their legs out and they fall like bags of sand.
Coogs up 7-0, Temple’s two possessions have ended with a INT and a fumble.
Baylor doesn’t look like they want to be playing today.
Maybe they haven’t dried out from last week.
Well it has be hard for them. Knowing their QB situation and all their goals they set are gone. To be motivated has to be hard.
I agree 100%. I’ve actually said that played a role in some late season/bowl losses for OU over the years.
Unfortunately, it has.
Not getting bent over by Texas the last game of the season, the last reg game for the Seniors, and Senior Day, last home game for many…should be all the motivation Baylor needs. Don’t choose to go back to mediocrity now, Bears.
Well, I guess we find out who the Baylor 4th string QB is.
Hell, just put that TE out there. Jared Lorenzen 2.0 (or would it be 1.0?)
Imagine Texas having wins against us and Baylor this season, and they’re only symbolic in nature most likely saving Strong’s job
Nice take Mizuno44
Lol the fight broke out about the time you posted this lol but Strong is ok either way IMO
Probably so, he better shine next year, I would figure three years and you’re out
Does it hurt us if Baylor gets stomped?
Discussing already below.. Do you read TFB or just post? lmao
Wow, Today all I can do is post lol
I just post sometimes. Especially if something hasn’t been discussed in a few hours. I don’t dig past the most recent comments.
Yea thats true. Sometimes it can be lots of reading. I have done that myself too. He’s just already done it twice today, so I was just funning..
I was looking for the thread about aggots dry humping reindeer. I think its national news. LOL
Plus, I’ve been on here all morning, so I’ve seen it all! ha
To answer your question though, No, prob wont hurt us, but the conference will look uglier…
Baylor still playing like thugs, I am actually rooting for Texas cause that means OSU gets the better bowl game and I am all about the Oklahoma schools looking good and getting the better bowls.
Uh oh, mayhem ensues
Royal Rumble!
Benches clear in the texs game! LMAO!
Funny thing is, I think #18 Viccaro was actually running out to congratulate the defender who made the pick, and he accidentally got knocked over the baylor qb hawthorne. Mayhem for essentially nothing right there. lol. Drama queens.
That’s how I saw it. Surprised Baylor didn’t get flagged for their sideline rushing onto the field.
Prob should have. At least a sideline warning. Jeez. Isn’t that the definition of “being across the line?”
Looked to Son and I as if Texas player kicked Baylor kid in the stomach. We ran it back several times, that’s how it looked.
As much as I HATE the shorthorns, I really didn’t see Viccaro do anything either. I assumed all the flags were called on the Baylor sideline???
…lol
I believe Baylor’s fifth string QB also plays the trombone
Well, the one who got hurt, Johnson, sure looked fine to run out on the field and try and fight..
I thought that might have been a defensive player wearing 13 also. You’re probably right though. Baylor has more time for being dirty than getting their asses kicked.
Oh they might have a defensive #13.. Didn’t even think of that.
That’s cause they told him school was out
He’s been on a Baptist mission for the last 30 years in Ghana.
Okay, this made me chuckle…Lmao
This has been the most entertaining shorthorns game all year and it’s only the end of the first quarter.
Other then the State Fair affair yea agreed
That wasn’t entertaining…
Well from our perspective no but they did run all over us, but would love to play them now
Hawthorne just got popped, Baker like. Looks like his head is hurting a bit..
That sure looked like targeting again.
Whats targeting? 😉
Kendal Briles, gets 3 QBs injured on qb keepers, is still running the QB?
That last tackle was targeting. That should have been called.
Seriously Baylor?
Don’t give a loose stool for either team, but I danged sure don’t want Texsa to go to 5-7 and maybe sneak into a bowl game.
I’m concerned about your loose stools, stay hydrated!
On the order of stools, loose one’s rank lowest, which is where those two teams fall. 🙂
They should decline the invitation if they do.
Why would they? They would get an additional few weeks worth of practices and more reps for their talented young players. That’s what I don’t want to see happen.
Toiuche’, I forgot about the benefit of practicing.
SO………………………………..are the seats in Lloyd Noble red or orange? (commercial break)
Either way, they are usually empty! Hi-0! lol
The quality of QB play now that BU is on their 4th will make this akin to an sec classic!
Someone asked the other day why the OU-Nova game wasn’t espn’s Monday night featured game.
Fox has the rights to the Pearl Harbor tribute starting with the NFL on Sunday. No way espn(owned by disney) would want anything to do with the tribute to Pearl Harbor.
It was me! lol I think espn doesnt start the Monday basketball games until NFL is over. They do monday night football too.
EasTex, can you clarify the Disney/Pearl Harbor reference?
I have little respect for the socio-political proclivities of disney.
Agreed. Bunch of degenerates.
Wasn’t there speculation about Walt Disney being a NAZI sympathizer? Some claimed so, but who knows????
Never heard that. Some of the cartoons from disney during the war were scathing of our enemies.
I get what you’re saying.
They were that he was anti-Semitic, but those have been debunked multiple times, including a lead animator who was Jewish.
I should add I don’t care for the whole Hollyweird mentality, either.
A few years ago, during a Memorial service for those who were killed at Pearl Harbor with many veterans of the attack that survived, the cbs show Hawaii 5-0 crew were cursing at them for being in their way from filming a tv episode.
/*spit*
Really? Unbelievable. As a person who has had three family members serve in the military, I take it personally when our armed forces are not treated with respect.
Yessir, and it was at the cemetery, too.
These were 80-90 year old men and women being honored, along with their fallen comrades and these weenie boys from Hollyweird were cursing them and trying to force them out of the cemetery for their precious pretend show.
I’m a vet, I have buried friends and my dad was a WWII vet. I don’t take kindly to seeing men of honor and valor being mistreated.
Having fought with the VA about my Dad’s benefits, I would add them to the list.
It’s only going to get worse, I’m afraid. About 4.5million is being diverted from the VA to resettle “refugees” from Syria to the U.S.
I’ve been seeing some of that, I’m still out here on the East coast.
Thanks ET, I hadn’t thought that angle.
Chaos defined: Wins today by Florida, North Carolina, Stanford, & Michigan State. I actually think three of those have better than average chances of happening. This may have been previously posted, so please forgive my laziness.
I’ve got to admit, its kind of nice watching Baylor get handled. Just like old times..
Texsa fans are annoying me right now , of course Texsa should be winning. Baylor is playing a WR at QB.
Final score will be Baylor 21 Texas 17
Haha Baylor should put number 80 in at QB
How does this dbag briles only have 2 viable quarterbacks on his roster? No walk ons or anything for depth?
Hawthorne is a walk on I think..
He bragged about the fact that he doesn’t have numerous QBs on the roster, that he isn’t like other teams that have backups holding clipboards on the sidelines.
What an idiot.
He is at his 4th QB right now. No one expects to lose 3 QBs in a season.
Yes but Johnson was working as a receiver prior to Russell’s injury. Now he’s throwing deep balls with another wide receiver at qb. I think he just needs to run the option with Coleman or cannon at qb.
And surely he has a safety or something that played qb in hs
Why not put Fat Albert at the Wildcat?
/s
Pretty sure they are redshirting a kid that would normally be #3 or #4, but they don’t want to burn his redshirt at this point. Can’t argue that.
Baylor has as many scholarship QB’s on roster this year as OU does.
Well, not a lot of programs plan on needing 4 QBs in the final 4 games. They probably are stuck with a very simple package of plays available to them at this point. I like watching the meltdown by Coleman & Co and Kendall Briles isn’t evoking much confidence on the sideline.
Just imagine if Baker, Trevor, and Cody all went down. Not sure who we’d play at QB. Mixon in the wildcat would be an option, but I don’t know if we’d make that our offense. Anybody else on the team a QB in HS?
McGinnis, a pretty good one, too.(preferred walk-on)
Wow. Not liking that scenario.
You shut your dirty whore mouth. 😉
He intentionally only keeps 2 QB on scholly to free them up for other positions. Its worked well for him in the past, bit him hard this year. And we are loving every minute of it =)
Sort of the NFL approach, only in College, you can’t just run out and sign someone when they go down.
and man, are they going down lol. Crazy bad luck.
yessir.
Baylor’s classless character is on full display today.
Same can be said for Texsa
Agreed.
So which qb is Baylor on now? 4th?
Their backup WR
Almost half time, Coogs up on Temple 17-3.
Wow….Baylor’s chance to at least get something and it falls apart like that? That’s gotta be pretty deflating.
Well if you spell Texas wrong , I don’t think you should be able to go to a bowl game. That’s not a high APR.
We just spell it how we found it in the Longhorn’s media guide last year.
They earned it, they own it.
The top 3 APR teams are or were Big 12 teams. I think that speaks well to the universities in the conference.
Was K-State one of the those schools , I saw the Cornhuskers were the top school.
Yep. Huskers, KSU, Mizzou.
Sweet
Lol Baylor
In this one I’d rather root for Baylor, all things considered. You know, since a meteor hitting the stadium or same being gutted by a sinkhole isn’t likely…
How long has it been since Baylor went scoreless in a half? lol.
No one said their would be math!
/or history
Think they said 2010 or 2012… dont remember. lol
2010. They showed it earlier.
Pre Briles? I would guess.
Briles should put Shawn Chokeman in at QB.
Just load up the backfield with athletes and get them in space. Can’t get any worse for them.
Seems like all teams would do well to have a wishbone package, with a different qb, just for this type of scenario. First 3 qb’s go down, fine, we’ll play wishbone the rest of the game. lol
Wishbone is pretty complex for the QB but put Coleman Linwood and Cannon back there and run a ton of wildcat tyoe stuff. At least the ball ends up in your playmakers’ hands.
Thats my main point. This particular “qb” would have the wishbone package, and run it all year in practice becoming well versed, so if this situation that Baylor is in shall occur, they dont have to resort to a hodge-podge wildcat set. They just send in the wishbone package, which would include their best playmakers in the backfield, and a competent qb running it.
No coach is going to develop a completely different offense and dedicate practice time for it so the practice squad can have their own system.
Not practice squad. A set. A wishbone package, that you run for 15 minutes a practice, in case of emergency. Practice “squad” would have nothing to do with this. You already mentioned running wildcat. I’m not seeing a difference here, other than I mentioned a specific package that could perform in emergency situations. Much better than just throwing the WR in at qb.
Most spread offenses already have a wildcat package. Wishbone is a completely different offense. The issue for BU right now is they basically have a practice squad player at QB.
The wildcat still has the same blocking schemes up front as their normal offense. The problem Baylor is having is not up front, it’s the lack of a downfield passing game. Texas can load the box on the run game
I get that. I was just throwing out a way to get those track stars the ball since there is no passing game.
I was responding to Daddy R. I like the wildcat package. The ball is immediately into the playmakers hands and the D still has to account for the qb as a wr and take another defender out of the box
Long story short I think we’ve established that you can’t just put 3 backs in the backfield along with a qb and magically be successful at running the option.
Well, I know lots of coaches who run multiple offensive sets. This is no different. Just another set. Spread shotgun, is far and away a different offense than under center I-formation, and yet teams master both of these all the time.
But the blocking and reads don’t change much between shotgun and I formation, just timing and footwork. The option is completely different in every way.
Not that hard to teach “get to the outside shoulder.”
Footwork, assignments, etc. Option is about #s. If a lineman misses his assignment the play fails.
Sounds like most offensive plays, from any formation! lol
Are you talking about running the veer out of the wishbone? If you are the veer takes a ton of time to perfect. If not you are doing nothing more than putting a lot of your playmakers in the backfield and allowing the defense to load the box. The wildcat at least can get your playmakers the ball with a little more space
I’m not talking the veer, I’m talking the wishbone. But ANY option game set would do. My main point is have a specific package for this type of scenario. Especially if you are only carrying two scholly qb’s. Then, if you’re down to your 4th or 5th string, at that point, this package would probably be a better option, even if you are forced to run the option all game.
I don’t think you realize how complex the option is. Teaching the O-line the blocking schemes alone would make it too much of a burden.
If you say so. Just have to agree to disagree then.
This looks like the old Baylor. Welcome back. Sit down, stay a while.
Joey Galloway your trash
I get soooo tired of hearing him talk!
Forrest Conley is the most annoying one at of all of them.
You’re right, I would have to agree…..
I cant stand both of them.
He’s a chump
Baylor may just play bad enough to really dot the eye for the Big 12, and by extension, us. The committee has already had a love affair with tOSU and the Big 10 anyway. I’m not being a downer, but i am voicing my fears for how fickle the committee is. Like, they just needed a sliver of shade to thumb down the Big 12, and Baylor, in all their humanitarianism, is giving them just that.
Surely the committee would be aware baylor is on their 4th string qb.
IF that happened, I would hope OU picks 3 other teams, and forms their own playoff this year.
Id be all for that anyway. I wish college football lasted as long as baseball and basketball seasons do.
Doubt this happens considering Baylor’s QB situation. Stidham or Russell blows out Texas.
I don’t doubt that they are aware. And im really not trying say they ARE going to do it. But based on what they did to the BIG 12 last year, with no reason, I’m very concerned about the what ifs when the conference gives them even the slightest reason.
The reason last year is that the Big 12 didn’t have a single champion, and the Committee says they value that (having a single champion) a great deal.
The committe says a lot of things. I think we have all witnessed, at least at times, how they can shape the evidence to fit their narrative. Look no further than a couple weeks ago when Ole Miss was sitting outside the top 20, and resting on a bye week. They miraculously jump to 18, giving Bama a top 20 opponent, after everyone else on their schedule had been put outside the top 20 (and justifying Bama’s 2 seed with a “quality loss”). With Barry Alvarez being involved, his disdain for non-Big 10/sec football (anything other than run, run, run), and a handful of Big 10 teams hovering around the 4 sweet spots, I don’t think it’s unwise to have concern. There is precedent in the short jistory of the CFP.
I don’t buy into all that non-sense. There are people tied to a bunch of different schools and conferences on that Committee. To suggest they are sitting in there scheming to support certain conferences or schools is silly. Are there some inherent biases that probably shape things a bit? Sure. But some fans are just ridiculous. Suggesting Bama shouldn’t be ranked in the top 4 when they have the highest SOS in the country, are a top 2 team on just about every power rating, and should win the SEC. SOS and power rating stats aren’t something that can be influenced. It’s math.
As for Ole Miss, them moving up or down during a bye week has nothing to do with them, and everything to do with what the teams around them in the rankings did. If they were 20 and 3 of the next 5 teams above them lost, of course they are going to move up. Why is that weird?
I get the concerns some people have with the Committee, but it gets blown way our proportion. If the season ended today, I’d say they would have the correct 4 teams in the Playoff, and I wouldn’t really have a problem with the way they were seeded.
Keep in mind i never said Bama doesn’t belong. But it was mentioned that bama was bolstered by the quality of their loss. I believe ole miss was actually 23 when that happened, and the drops that weekend were at the top end of the rankings. The main point to what ive been saying is that with the perception of the big 12, any scratch or dent appears more like a gape. You add that with a convincing win by Iowa or Mich State, and/or maybe even Stanford, and the committee just might justify slighting the big 12. Last year they stated, along with the lack of a clear champion, the abscence of the last data point the other teams had. That was in regard to tOSU’s conference championship game statement.
I’m not sure bama does belong… http://collegespun.com/big-ten/ohio-state/colin-cowherd-goes-on-6-minute-rant-against-alabama-the-sec
I’ve felt for the last couple of years the sec was coasting on inflated rep. Even during their run, i thought a lot of their hype was unjust. That being said, i think 7 of the remaining 8 teams could compete with any of the other teams (given the prep time, time to heal, etc.). Iowa is the one team i’m not seriously considering, but i admit that is largely due to the fact they haven’t really played anyone yet. They may be the best big 10 team. I just havent seen that in them yet. But, back to the sec, i think bama is pretty good, and at this point, i dont have a problem with them being in the final 4, especially if they go on to win the conference championship.
There is no way OU can be excluded. Would be a travesty and s#@# would the fan.
I agree that OU should not be excluded. I’m just not convinced the committee is as sure as we are.
Why? Last year was TCU/Baylor. This is Oklahoma, the one conference champ.
Remember… i share your feeling and confidence about OU. I remain skeptical about the committee (and will until Tuesday, i suspect). Realistically, i bet Tcu and Baylor fans were as confident last year as we are this year. Last year, WVU (Baylor’s loss) and Baylor (TCU’s loss) were not as ugly the RRR this year. The best thing we have in our favor is that we’ve been a totally different team since thst point, whereas last year the other two didn’t have a lot of time to right their wrongs. Im just leery about the committee.
I am as well. But OU’s situation is much clearer. First, we won the Big 12 title, did not share it. Second, we have a balance in O and D that Baylor did not have. Third, there are no viable candidates to unseat us. OSU is not playing today.
I can’t imagine, they’re on their 4th quarterback
OU is in the playoff
If Texsa can do this to baylor, then surely usc, florida and the tar heels can, also.
/just sayin’
Not if they had their 1 or 2 QB I doubt it. With the 3-4 QB definitely
ya…kinda hoping the lose. TCU would fair much better in the Sugar Bowl
What time is the Levi Draper announcement set to take place?
TFB said it he would announce after his playoff game, sometime this afternoon early evening. Don’t know for sure what time his game starts.
Starts at 1p.m.
Gotcha, preciate it
Is it a draw of the hat ceremony?
After the game which kicked off at 1 so via Twitter I am sure will blow up as well about it poor kid got hammered on Twitter after he decommited to OSU mainly by OSU fans. But TFB is there so I expect they will have it posted at the time he announces or a lil after like they posted.
Class 6a was on last night.. little surprised 5a wouldn’t be on fox sports oklahoma as well.
Kid seen his future first hand on Saturday. Glad he came to senses before he signed on that dotted line.
I’m sure it’s been said, but Baylor being whooped this bad is no bueno. Good for OSU though. They should get the Sugar now
Is it fair enough to assume that if OU drops to 4th in the Playoffs, the biggest reason is that the Big 12 didn’t have a CCG? Only reason I can think of that we’d fall to the 4th spot.
Think its be anticipated that they would fall to 4 this weekend regardless considering Clemson, Bama, Iowa vs MSU winner would jump to 3 win out and no losses now a bad showing my Bama against a bad Florida team could help potentially
I haven’t assumed that.
OU has a higher SOS than most teams we’re competing against. OU is higher in all the power polls than most teams. I think OU has passed the eye test more/better than most teams. I’m not sure anybody could find a single stat to support a Big 10 team being ahead of OU, except maybe Iowa being undefeated if they win.
Bias against OU will be the only reason. “Big 12 doesn’t play defense, OU beat three teams that had a back up Qb…blah, blah, blah.”
Texsa recruiting pitch “a bunch of our coaches were no good, but we’re going to fire them. Come play for us.”
I just came from the texsa TFB, on the Texsa/Baylor game thread there were 4 posts. 3 were by TFB writers and 1 post from a fan who was on his last hope. I don’t feel really sorry for texsa, but i do feel sorry for the TFB guys that put in the time to put together a quality board.
This is the mother ship for sure.
It will pick up steam. I stumbled on TFB just before the season started by accident. UT has a huge fanbase so the word will get out.
In a greedy and selfish way I would like to see this as a tell tell sign of the respect and following. That leads to even more info given to us as a sign of appreciation, thus feeding the monster what it deserves.
I’ve gotta say, I find out hard to “root” for either team playing here. I want Texas to go into the off season on a low @ 4-8, obviously I hate Texas, but I can’t stand Briles and there Baylor fans today… Ugh. Maybe a tie!?
Hopefully a play reminiscent of the Cal kickoff return yet it’s the freshman losers we are forced to see run out like they know what winning is, causing a pileup, Texas unable to score on the last play of the game to put exclamation point on another subpar season.
OHH Charlie Strong
Collinsville / Altus tied 7-7 at halftime.
May be moving back home soon and looking at the boys playing for C’ville or Owasso.
GO w/ O
Torn with this one, too. Two terrific players in Tavin Birdow & Levi Draper. I know Altus, have family there & in neighboring towns; except for Altus ABF the town is a cesspool so it’s good to see kids do well and get the hell out of there. Don’t know much about Collinsville but again it’s always good to see small-town Oklahoma kids do well. I’d kind of like to listen to the game if I could.
Sounds like a good’un.
OkPreps update: Heritage Hall vs Lincoln Christion will be a great game if Lincoln Christion can close out Jones
If Texas win Charlie Strong should be fired still. How is this game even close.
Baylor has run basically 3 plays on offense the whole 2nd half and scored 17.
It’s sad
And the thing is Charlie would not have the landing spot he would hope since Miami filled their opening with richt.
This Game will just help OU in recruiting , who would wanna play for texsa after this.
I wonder if Malik Jefferson and Wheeler are coming to a conclusion that they should of went north of the red river while also relizing you can’t polish a turd no matter how much your sawed off coach preaches to you.
I think Wheeler is right where he belongs.
There is always ECU.
Keep him in Austin for as long as possible. If the boosters and fans are upset, and he still manages to beat OU & Baylor? I smell a nasty lawsuit if they let him go now.
didn’t cgundy have a decent shot at warren at one time
I think warren was a huge Texas lean all the way. Gundy was after jamabo early and he wanted to wait so gundy basically said see ya.
don’t remember the time frame……….so, soso goes to ucla and we ended up with mixon?
A year apart.
We flipped anderson, and soso faded out and went with ucla.
mixon was previous year
Warren at Iowa St. was the fall back plan had we not landed Perine
Anderson was the kid we wanted after soso. And Anderson was very underrated. We might find out in a couple years how good he is. He’s not really a change of pace guy for the 2 we have but I think he compares favorably to both Perine and mixon, maybe a cross between both.
I wouldn’t call Anderson underrated, he was a 4 star kid, the number 19 RB in the country, per Rivals.
He will be memorable, I watched him throughout his high school career at the RB factory of Katy High. He is a Studley McStudmuffin.
Hindsight is always 20/20 but what was we trying to accomplish trotting a 2-4-5 defence out there to defend a power running team? Hopefully we learned our lesson cause a guy named Henry will not only pick up where he left off. He could just go ahead and keep his locker and use this as more a tour of his future home.
I think mike was hoping that 2-4-5 would work and that Texas wasn’t going to expose it but he was wrong. He went to the 3-4 and 3-3-5 the rest of the way.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the playoff. The 3-4 gives us a chance to put striker and bond on the field together but the 3-3-5 gives us will Johnson who’s been really good in coverage.
It definitely allowed us to know what we needed to fix on D. Hopefully this recent success allows him to see you can’t put a square peg in a round hole alas matching the physicality of a team such as Bama and adjusting according.
I think, getting Bond in the game is going to benefit us more. If we stop the run, or slow it, we’ll win
I could see Lindley having a big role subbing for Striker in run situations. Having a talented 260lb LB come off the bench as a run stuffer could be huge.
That wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. Lindley played well when we needed him this year, got better with the more snaps he got.
Agree would like to see Shannon as well, really like his ability to display excellent form tackle while driving opposing ball carrier backwards on a consistent basic but both players can match the physical style we all know Bama will want to play with.
That loss wasn’t on the defense, 2-4-5 or not.
17 points.
/smdh
Oline is to blame for that inexcusable offensive showing.
True, but I think the play calling for that game was…off, too.
If there’s one not I can say that constant all year is the lack of a running back screen game that would have helped us in that game and caught Alabama by surprise more than anything using the aggressiveness against them thus allowing us to convert crucial first downs over and over.
A screen or two could of slowed down the outside rush.
It reminded me a lot of the 2008 title game. Texas ran the ball bled the clock got very manageable 3rd downs and converted.
The offense was bad though, it was just an overall bad performance. The defense was the only thing that gave us a chance in the end to tie it up but quick stumbled or whatever on the punt return.
Baylor’s little stadium looks like a waste of money now lol bring the tarp back
Especially after that game costing fumble.
The sun hit the ball just right.
I know many of you hate Texsa but I hate everything about BAYLOR. I gre up and graduated from OU but I’ve lived in texsa for 30 years. BAYLOR fans talk crap constantly year around whereas texsa doesn’t and are more civil. My .02 cents.
I look down on both.
True we come to except Texas as a traditional power, baylor deserves to go back to the bowels of a bottom feeder and quit all this fake non sense.
You must deal with a different class of Texsa fans. In the last few years with baylor’s success I am encountering baylor fans that were always hidden before and they don’t know quite how to act and are getting bolder by the minute.
Texsa fans have always known how to act…badly. I went to school there and almost got jumped by 3 guys that were whoo-hooing about the wHorns victory that night because I didn’t join in with them.
Back in 2009 at the Big XII championship game at Texas Stadium(the no time on the clock field goal), I went to the game with a friend of mine that was a Nebbish grad, very nice man and family. He had some friends that had come down. After a tough, thrilling game the wHorns pulled it out late 13-12. As we were walking out of the stadium, there was a group of wHorn fans walking next to us. The wife of his friend extended a congratulations to the wHorn fans on a great game. They turned and looked at us, saw all the Big Red gear and started shouting expletives at them, about being corn cobs and hicks and to “eff” Nebraska. They were all shocked and looked at me for an explanation and all I could say was that I had warned them about wHorn fans.
Would Nebraska be in this downward spiral of no ruturn if they would of just sucked it up, circled the calender for next year, and been happy to be at least competing for conference titles.
I don’t blame Nebraska, I blame the arrogance of Texsa and their LHN.
They may be having trouble winning, but at least they are an equal partner in their new conference.
I wonder how much not playing teams in Texas thus taken away a fertile recruiting area for a team with limited quality d1 prospects any where near it’s border?
I don’t know that they recruited successfully in Texas before now.
The Nebraska I knew growing up in the 90s had players from all over the country much like oklahoma. But if there was one native Nebraska player on the field he seemed to always be a smash mouth fb.
Saxet is on the cusp of killing their 3rd conference. How do they and their fans not understand 1. Their arrogance isn’t worth anything, and 2. They are not great, never have been and at this rate never will be.
The arrogance there is institutional and flows outward.
I work and live here in San Antonio… I work with mainly Aggies and a handful of shorthorns. Let me just say, I used to appreciate aTm.. Not anymore. Incredibly cocky for a school who had done nothing. The shorthorn fans, most of which with ZERO affiliation, only talk twice a year: preseason and if they beat us. But I have to say, they can’t even acknowledge OUs history. They won’t accept that we have much more tradition and are a better program overall. All they every reference if the head to head…
I used to screw with their feeble minds and remind them their stadium was named after an OU All-American football player. They had no idea what I was talking about.
Yeah theres some pretty good quail hunting around Hollis.
Mmmmmm….fried quail.
I’ve seen more this year while set in my tree stand deer hunting then the last five years combined! my German Shorthaired Pointer is ready to say the least.
Grew up quail hunting in La. and Texas, danged fire ants and coyotes have ruined their population.
Isn’t that the truth alot of my buddy’s don’t even got dogs anymore hard to beat the camaraderie in a good quail hunt and nothing can make you prouder than a successful point and retrieve by your pup you trained all summer long.
My grandfather’s German short hairs were his pride and joy.
I do that ALL the time. They always like to say, “Well, you win with Texas HS players.” I respond, “And how does it make you feel that a sh*t state/school like Oklahoma in and take your players and win NCs?” No response.
I’m out here in Tucson Arizona and I had a Texas fan chasing me around a Target talking crap to me about losing to A&M. I was in shock because he was close to 80 years old and OU had destroyed Texas that year 63- to something?
A&M was still in the Big 12.
Texas fans do talk a lot of crap!
TX is dumb. Why call timeout and give Bay a chance to talk about a play?
I think you answered your own question.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ_PwD0gOSo
That was good
McLane Stadium must have awful food. Baylor fans have been eating their nails the entire game.
They was preparing for the main dish of classic choke soup.
Suck it Baylor!
They deserve it who calls a wr pass in that situation?? To not only kill the clock, and bad example of putting players in a position to succeed alas not asking to much out of em.
To be fair, wasnt every pass since stidham got hurt a WR pass? lol
Touche.
Nope I want Briles to have that all to himself to chew on. Punk.
Please don’t fire Charlie Strong 🙂
They won’t. Not this year. After next year I expect them to fire him, though.
Especially after pay back is issued at the red river rivalry, allowing the ad to see this ship is still taken on water.
So what is the update with the 5A championship game?
Altus 20-14 third quarter
Thanks.
Sounds like a battle.
ET, I know you love HS football, as do I. I didn’t know till today, but there is a website that you can stream any HS game (any that is putting the game up on the internet). I got the link off of NewsOk.com the link is http://www.nfhsnetwork.com
I always use teamline, but didn’t know Collinsville’s mascot name.
Wasn’t going to listen anyway, watched the UH win and now watching a Texas playoff with Allen and Denton Ryan, but thanks for the info.
28-28 now in the 4th
Whoa!
Sounds like a great game.
So does OSU go to the Sugar Bowl now?
Yes
Florida has no offense!
Yea since week 1 lol
Their O-line look more like matadors then football players. Ole!
http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/14/117714-004-21FFC06C.jpg
Wait, they are carrying edged weapons?
Florida is just plan bad. Hard to believe this team some how is playing for the SEC crown. Yuk.
Welp…thats ballgame
??
Two points should be enough.
lol. Florida’s D might get them some points if they keep attacking like that..
They could tie it and go to OT. 🙂
And then first missed FG loses.
Watch out. Florida just completed a forward pass! And it went for nearly 50 yds!
wow…now another!
Offensive juggernaut!
Lol We’d destroy Bama.
That Florida defense is extremely good. Don’t watch what Florida does to them defensively and expect us to be able to do the same thing.
My ass. If OU puts 14 on them in a half they will panic.
We’d run them off the field with their tails tucked between their legs.
Alabamer just don’t look too scary. If they can get past that terrible Florida team they will rue the day they play the Sooners! Mark it down!
So far Fla & Alabama have rushed thirteen times for ZERO yards combined.
So you can pass against Alabama. Who would have thought.
That FIU defense must have been something else..
This sooner offence has to be licking its chops with the playmakers at its disposal just got figure out how to slow down that aggressive Alabama d (Screens!)(see 2014 sugar bowl) and keep them out of the backfield and not disrupting timing. let’s hope our o-line is up to the task. They could be the difference in a win or loss.
#baylortears….
I’m sensing Bama lacks motivation. #TideExcuses
But…but…it’s for a championship!
UT hates Baylor almost as much as we do.
The entire conference does
Baylor hates Texas so Texas is living it up/
Everybody hates Texsa.
The Florida kicker is 5 for 14 on the year. 5 for 14. Wow. He’s a better tackler than kicker…saved a td there.
Well at least Florida makes up for being bad on offense by being bad on special teams.
Not counting kickoffs, they’ve successfully gotten 1 kick away with 3 tries in this game.
I’m even more impressed with bama’s sophisticated passing game.
/s
Run, Roll out left, Roll out right. Punt.
Impressive!
Roll tide roll.
EDIT: gross.
Bama has -9 yards rushing so far. Keep this up and Henry is your Heisman? Please.
Sec defense!
Florida needs to bust a long td run here. Somehow.
It might help if they didn’t try to go between the tackles yet again.
SEC teams dream of having Swoopes for their QB.
This one looks like it’s going to be headed for the sec’s Classics roll. With a high scoring affair like this, i wonder why every team in America isn’t adopting this traditional style offense.
115 yds total offense combined in the first quarter. I’ve seen more yards gained on a coin toss in the B12.
The only skill position players on the field that start for Oklahoma is Henry but even Perine would have something to say about that.
Heisman, i mean Henry fumbled!
Well there’s a Heisman moment.
Note to Sooner defense, bust Henry in the mouth he drops the ball.
Haha! Henry for Heisman. Lol
Florida and Alabama both suck. 2-0 after a quarter?
If Henry has a bad day in Alabama’s biggest game of their season, he should not win the Heisman. If he does, I’d say Watson and Mccaffery have the upper hand to make one final push.
When is the deadline for Heisman votes? I’ve always been under the impression most were sent in before this weekend’s games. But I might be wrong on that.
I don’t know, Florida looks like they are just a QB, a RB, a couple of WR, and maybe four or five offensive lineman away from having a decent offense.
Maybe their suspended qb can help out with a player enhancement technic 🙂
Any booms since the C’ville game is over?
What was the final score?
31-28 Altus.
Okay, thanks.
Dang, sorry for you Collinsville fans, but one heck of a season.
Birdow is a good workhorse back..I think he played at IMG last year
I live in Yukon and went to the game. Was a great game! Saw Mike Stoops and Kish on the sidelines. I watched the Draper kid a lot. He has great size, speed was ok. I think he was a little banged up, I know he came out of the game for little bit in the 4th and they were working on his shoulder. He went back in and finished the game. Hope the kid picks OU, but he really didn’t just wow me with his play today, this is the first time I’ve seen him in person so it’s just what I saw today. Don’t know if it was because he was banged up or what. I still hope the kid picks OU.
WOW
I know floridas offense is pathetic, but I will say it’s hard to deny that the main concern we would have against Bama would be how our young o line holds up. Their d line is legit. if we won that battle it would be game over,but coach B would have his work cut out.
IMO, that would be the biggest, and maybe only issue on that side of the ball. Can the OU oline block well enough. If they do, Bama won’t be able to stop us with any kind of consistency.
Agreed, it does seem u can pass pro them without as much trouble. Run blocking them has been nightmarish. Of course we have the baker factor to slow them down a bit too.
If they can’t score , how are they going to beat us?
Didn’t see any mention of them beating us.
And I have little doubt they would score something on us.
My point is their d line is extremely good, better than any we have seen and our o line would need to be game.
Out kicked his coverage.
They got a chance!
Bama throws worse than they did in 2013! They can only run the ball. Feeds into MS wheelhouse.
Bama in trouble today, Florida’s defense is good enough to make this a ballgame
With florida getting a TD, it ruined my score pick. I was thinking 3-2 SEC SEC SEC
7-5 then… 🙂
Thanks Bro, all is not lost after all.
I thought you might enjoy this tweet
https://twitter.com/si_ncaafb/status/673267361470947329
The gators got a TD?
Just how did that blind squirrel do that? I’m watching a Texas high school playoff game. Might switch to the s-eee-see game, Allen is starting to pour it on Denton Ryan.
Punt return for TD.
Ok.
Punt return for a TD. Punter out kicked the coverage.
K.
Lol Bama.
Imagine if FU had an offense…of course, all we’re gonna hear is how AMAZING that tide D was today vs an inept team like the gators.
I would love to see Alabama’s QB try to evade our pass rush LOL
That settles it – Bama IS overrated.
13-2 Florida.
lol
Did something get called back? I’m on the road, I see 7-2
Nah, I was just making a prediction on the final score. Was wrong though, right now it’s 7-5 Florida.
https://twitter.com/gabeikard/status/673259765829656576
ESPiN headline after Gators pull out 10-9 squeaker: “Gators show their might in awesome defensive battle, once again showing the defensive superiority of the SEC!”
Go Gatahs.

SEC football got me like http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2817947/billbored.gif
Someone is haven’t way too much fun at OUr expense.
https://twitter.com/calebkkelly/status/673263331004645376
If he goes anywhere but ou it would be a major disappointment for this year’s class.
I think our biggest threat was Michigan and hopefully the buckeyes smashed that dream too.
I think he comes to Norman. Just a gut feeling, though.
He is wearing a crimson dress shirt though… FWIW
Let the young man have some fun. Life is too short.
Henry fumbled also? Geez, give him the trophy now before he loses it! haha
This was supposed to be his Heisman moment game in front of the whole country…
I’m expecting 1 more fumble, and then 3 picks for watson tonight. lol
Don’t forget the Stanford guy. Some fumbles, dropped passes, and negative yards would be nice.
Of course I want BM to win but I think McCaffrey is very deserving.
These Sec defence are so good that even the ball is scared to get to close to our skill guys in space I mean look the ball is literally jumping out of Henry’s hand.
Saban will need to dye his hair again by halftime
I hope this 7-5 score holds up and both teams drop in the rankings on principle.
https://twitter.com/OklahomaUpdated/status/673267691784814592
Both teams could do with some better pitching.
The bullpen will decide it.
Fl QB cannot feel the rush…
I don’t thinks it’s so much his fault.. it’s the SEC defence and it’s uncanny ability to collapse the pocket on sheer fear alone.
…..until he hits the ground
https://twitter.com/zsanchez15/status/673268196326031360
Ahhhh, don’t worry about that Zack. Just keep focused on you, and winning. Let us fans do the b*tching about the sec bias..
But he’s right.
As long as he left the roller skates in stool water…
Missed a hold by the right tackle on that bomb but it’s bama so it didn’t happen.
Do you guys feel that the CBS announcers are over praising the players a bit? SEC!
It’s a clown show at this point.
Verne needs to stick with the Masters
It would be disrespectful if they didn’t.. don’t want to hurt the “Sec” feelings
Did they get this announcing crew from Alabama radio? Pretty lopsided, imo.
How bad is the Florida qb? He has a ball batted back to him so he fires away a second time. Are you kidding me? And ou “caught” a break playing back up qb’s?
Maybe Tebow can bless him with his manoverabily and ability to avoid the rush weather it’s sec defence or miss universe.
So can we rename this the college football/high school football open thread? Cuz I just need to let everyone know that the mighty Mansfield Tigers absolutely DESTROYED Denton Guyer 44-7 today!! Best playoff run by far in Mansfield’s history! Good year to be a Tiger and a Sooner
I just heard that on the high school game I am watching.
Your boys done good!
Glad the Tigers got the future tcu QB accustomed to losing in big games.
Losing BIG in big games too haha. I’m checking out some of that Allen game too, Ryan doesn’t seem to want to go away.
The Gators needs to give their punt return team as many chances as possible
Saban is an ass.
Screaming at that 18 yr old!
I mean, Bob would have been mad, but cursing at the kid he would not have done. I would never want a child playing for a douche like Saban.
One more reason why his(time to move on) clock might be clicking….
Bob would have been mad, but he goes balistic when they do something real stupid like hitting someone out of bounds. A clip or holding in the heat of battle is entirely different
You Sir, are too kind.
Someone save the head set before it’s too late!
I would hit into his group on the golf course, and not yell “Fore!”
So is there another kjuandro or whatever for striker to abuse this year?
I’ll look up who they have on their payroll this year.
Saban with the great job stat padding for Henry to end the 1st half.
The great excuse maker
He did say he “wants to go fast.” I thought that was kind of ironic.
I thought it was funny when Daniels said that when teams go fast against Bama that that doesn’t bother them. I don’t think they know what going fast is. maybe it’s SEC fast, but what the Big 12 means is that if you have big, slow LBs and DEs in the game, Big 12 teams are going to line up and make them defend Shep in the open field w/o letting you sub those slow guys out. Or, if you have little LBs/DEs, they’d better be able to stop a better RB than Henry in Perine.
Funny listening to SEC guys talk
My thoughts were that it usually takes a decent QB to run it successfully
Saban was almost as tall as that sideline reporter
Imagine Perine turned loose on 43 carries per game
3 to 4 long td runs every game and repeat Heisman every year until he’s exhausted all eligibility.
Perine has done in 2 yrs what Henry has done in 3. yeah, Henry’s some awesome RB alright. Mufasa=Henry. https://youtu.be/yhZ0TKdgJGg
That would be considered assault against linebackers and DBs if he got that many carries per game.
There would be some young men crying after another trucking course taught in the open field.
I predict that a new penalty will be instituted in the NFL once Perine is drafted. Perine, after injuring 8 players in 8 separate games, the NFL will adopt the Trucking Penalty where the RB is ejected from the game.
I said that during Bedlam, we could give Perine 45 carries and he would break his own record
yeah, if they give henry the ball 30x+ he might get 100 yds. That’s HEISMAN TALK, BABY!!!!! /S
Samaje did 427 on 34 carries, just sayin
I’m going to make the understatement of the year: Bama looks very beatable.
The Bama QB appears to be one of their worst in recent memory
He didn’t cut it at another school either… wasn’t it FSU?
Miami, I think.
W/o a doubt. The FL QB is a typical QB–a rb trying to throw passes. Bama has a TRUE SEC QB. another understatement here: He’s not a good QB.
This is awesome the whole country is seeing the joke Bama is to the point our players taken to twitter to laugh about their big 10 offence.
So do you not think Florida has a good defense?
They have a good run d but since Bama can’t trow I don’t think we are getting a good indicator how good they are in coverage.
Out of the top ranked teams, I would almost guarantee nobody wants to play US
I keep refreshing the TFB home page, no BOOM yet.
Brandon posted on Twitter they would hold off on the announcement until later tonight or possibly tomorrow
Thanks.
I’m thinking we may have other BOOMS this weekend also. I hope.
Maybe some decommits from bama. 🙂
Tough loss for him today against Altus
I read the Bama board and they said that Perine wouldn’t be able to handle 40+ carries per game because he couldn’t take the hits.
Call BS on that
Bob Stoops? I think he’d call bullsh*t on that. 😉
Yeah I didn’t mean Bob lol
Lol, I know ya didnt 😉
So will countless db and lbs as well.
I’ll try to find the thread and post the link for you. Yes sir, Bama fans were absolutely proclaiming that Perine couldn’t handle the type of load that Henry can.
If they wish to find out Perine will not disappoint.
Sounds like they’re butt hurt that their backup is drake
He doesn’t take hits, he does the hitting
That’s just the moonshine talking.
Uh, bammer fans, he doesn’t need to. Still…
https://admin.xosn.com/pics33/640/QG/QGCORQMHHAYKFWL.20150811185559.jpg
OK, so give Mixon 10 carries.
They’re lying through their tooth.
POST OF THE DAY
You’re too kind.
I’m in Knoxville tonight. I think a lot of these people in Tn are related to the people in Bama.
yes it was, unless they don’t have ANY teeth
Good comedy. Must be true then
They can’t put anything on the internet that’s not true.:)
No truer words have ever been spoken
huh?
There ya go
The Gators are one punt return away from taking the lead
Is there a website to watch the texas HS playoffs?
Not that I know of.
http://www.nfhsnetwork.com is a paid site, it’s not real expensive, but if the team puts the game on the internet (anywhere in the nation, I think) you can watch from this site
Allen vs Denton Ryan was aired on KTXA 21, but over now. Allen took care of business, 48-27, on to the semi’s next week…
thank you for the info Tex & Rick.
57 straight, amazing.
there was no way that was roughing the passer. What if he had faked the throw? You have to do that
I’m impressed with Alabama’s offensive versatility, Henry up the middle, Henry up the left-middle, and Henry up the right-middle.
oh, when they are in trouble, he’s not even on the field
And just to throw everyone off…. Henry up the middle.
I think Charles Walker is ready to introduce himself to Henry.
Bama showing the versitily while wowing teams with his offensive prowess displaying why they bought lane Kiffin in to run a I fomation 5 yards and a cloud of dust offence..
4th and one and you have so much confidence in Henry you kick a FG
They don’t have a reason to go for it in that situation. Florida won’t score a touchdown on bama’ defense.
I know, Zack, FL has already scored 7 more than they’ve scored in the previous 12 games put together and 7 more than anyone thought they could against Hefner’s jr high girl’s team, but Henry is ALL-WORLD!!!
He had to re-tie his hair bun.
You sound like an SEC fan with that kind of reasoning!
These dudes stress such bad commentators. IT HIT THE CABLE, CLEARLY!
Striker will have a field day with Coker
Just ask Mr. McCarron.
Florida O is pitiful….can’t move the ball to save their lives
They run like a dried up creek.
What’s up with the Florida QB, a case of suck-itis?
If you guys think Trevor Knight is bad watch the QB from Florida. OMG!!!
Hey… Trevor at least beat Bama. 🙂
…and a better Bama team.
Guys, you crack me up!! Pretending that Alabama and Derrick Henry aren’t any good is ridiculous. I’m glad our coaches and players are are smarter than that and will give Alabama the respect they deserve. .
Henry is good, but he’s always been very overrated.
I don’t know Clint. He carved us up and kept Bama in the game when we played them.
If they would’ve just kept feeding it to him, I think OU would have lost. Nobody could tackle him.
Yeah, certainly would have been closer- made me realize that Saban was clueless. I put it on a par with pat jones having Barry Sanders ride the pine his sophomore year.
Ride the pine = 105 carries
They lost. Throughout the game they lost. And we beat them the time before that as well. And the time before that, too. It was a tie in the Bluebonnet bowl back in 1970 where they deserve respect for keeping up with us -once- 45 years ago! BFD.
When our defense was tired and he made no difference.
A lot of offenses carved ‘us’ up that year, and OU was doing the right thing and focusing on the pass game. This season he’s racked up yards against trash teams. Just like he’s doing now – now that UF’s defense is mentally defeated. He couldn’t do anything prior to halfway through the 3rd.
This. Hard to take people serious that are talking like that.
I don’t think anybody is saying that.
Then you haven’t been reading. Shelby the Patriot said we will DESTROY Alabama! Tons of disrespect for Coker and Bama’s O. It’s always best to give your opponents their dues,
Umm… who cares? We aren’t playing in the game. We can say whatever we want.
Not saying we will Destroy Bama, but Coker isn’t that good. He’s a watered down version of Christian Ponder. Wow.
The only thing that worries me about Bama is their big boys. Their skill players dont do much to put fear into anybody. I personally don’t think Henry is that fabulous. But their blocking, and Dlines, thats where I’d be more concerned.
Also… dues? What dues? OU has beat Bama the last 3 times they’ve played including Bama’s best team in the last 5 years. This year’s Bama team is probably their weakest in 10 years too.
OK….I’ll put you in the “we will destroy them” camp.
BoomerDave has been talking up Bama for the past two weeks. It’s annoying reading him talk up this crappy football from Bama.
You’re a liar!! I’ve never said a word about how good or bad Alabama is. Geez!!
You’re a little too touchy. And as for Coker, just about all of America has been disrespecting his passing skills for weeks now.
Just having fun watching the most awesome conference on the planet
They’re good so long as you’re not expecting a passing game
Really respecting Draper for delaying his announcement- it would kind of be disrespectful to his team mates if he were to grab the spotlight by celebrating his announcement. Good to let the loss sink in for a bit and do it on a different stage.
Uh oh, I just witnessed Henry run the direction of Northwest
This game is a slow motion muddled up bunch of nothing! Both sides are slow and predictable on their offensive plays and little better on defense. The majority of both teams big plays happen when they can get a personal foul gift from the other team to keep their slow motion drive going another few yards. I want to see some REAL football with a variety of plays being played at a pace easily three times this fast! It’s like the teams are made of old men resurrected for slow motion in everything, including huge amounts of time measuring things, and reviewing petty plays at a glacial pace along with large amounts of people laying on the field of play constantly injured as others, just as slowly, look at them! AAAAARGGGHHH. I LOVE THE BIG 12!!
great one yard run there
Nice face plant
Watching sec games is like watching paint dry.
Sorry paint!
Good idea, I’m heading to Sherwin Williams now
This is worse than that. I like watching paint dry. If paint is drying, it means I did something very productive. Watching this game feels useless.
I hate painting, I own 4 houses and my wife thinks they need refreshing every couple of years, BUT, it’s better than watching an SEC SEC SEC game.
Pretty sure I’ve seen my lawn grow at a faster pace
It’s disgusting how these 2 are talking Henry up… You better have the rushing record when all your team can do is run block… Ugh.
Nice catch there. Was almost certain that was a pick.. Still not afraid.
EDIT: Sanchez show up! lol
beautiful, textbook pass ;-/
Yeah twice now the Florida safety doesn’t get in position to make a play. Sometimes Ahmad Thomas plays like that.
Hey, they can play. I want us to be the underdog.
One thing about watching the SEC or Big10 game in DVR, the 15sec forward button works well. Hit it twice after end of a play, and you still have 5-10 secs before they snap the ball!
He’s consistently thrown into double and triple coverage
Bama will not be ranked 1st. No way. I’d rather face them for the title.
Even if Clemson gets beat?
No. The Big 10 champ will be because it will be a close game with one team winning at the end.
Interesting take.
I think they will if Clemson loses
Put in a back up QB.
Oh wait for it…Heisman moments coming now that Florida is absolutely demoralized.
Wtf is this announcer bringing up Denzel Washington for? Doesn’t he know Denzel works for us?
Good movie. Nothing like was just described, from the title to the plot.
lol. Yea that guys butchered it.
Henry will end up with a couple hundred yards tonight. He will get another 10-15 carries in the 4th.
Henry gained 8 yards… that gets a “WOW…..here we go!” from the announcers.
yes…8 yrds gets a WOW..the announcers comments on that play should be quoted for posterity. Went to mute after that.
It’s a shame that most Heisman voters haven’t watched his games this year either. There’s 10 players in the country much better than him. He’s good, but he’s not Heisman good.
Note to TFB:
Send Denzel a BOOM! shirt. See if he’ll provide a pic wearing it.
I have now moved on to a better game. KState and WV.
Better conference, too
You said it brother!
What is it with SEC kickers?
they play in the sec
When did we trade TK to Florida?
It is amusing watching the board today vs a year ago. Last year, fire every one, the ship is sinking, blah, blah.
Now Bama is an easy out for us?
There is a middle ground called reality. I would have all the faith in the world our boys could beat Bama if/when we land them, but to act like that’s a foregone conclusion is ridiculous. They are a very good team.
Bama is not an easy out, they just aren’t the world beaters that everyone likes to proclaim.
Now I do agree with that!
Ahh, let us have our fun.
I think everyone here respects the fact that Bama is a good football team, just not as good as the media (consistently) makes them out to be
Agreed. And BTW,it is much more fun on this version of the board than last year. Failed to mention that.
I would say they are a good team with lots of talent, not a very good team.
OU plays their game at a high level bama is toast, no, powdered toast…man.
I don’t see anything from Bama that strikes fear in me.
You do know that half the fun is talking smack, right?
I said it was amusing. Amusing is fun too. Trust me, I love this being the convo as opposed to last year as much as anyone.
Keep in mind, lots of folks wouldn’t be so quick to take shots at Bama if we didn’t have to hear every week about how they are the greatest team in football since the 95 Huskers.
The team in the 2014 Sugar bowl would have beat this team by at least 5 TD’s. The present team is big, strong, and very one dimensional. They smother you to death then pick up a garbage time td or 2 after you are dragging. Any team with an outstanding offense and manageable defense should be able to beat this team. Beating this team is “NOT” a foregone conclusion, but to say they can’t be beaten is absolutely ridiculous. OUr team is not the biggest, baddest, 5 star laden team to ever don the crimson and cream, but they are a very good team today. The D line is mean, the LB’s are really good, DB’s so so. Alabama doesn’t pass well. OUr offense has improved more from the 1st week until now more than any team I can remember back to the later Wilkinson teams. I definately think we have a better than good chance against Alabama.
Exactly my point.
I think the depth of our Dline would be the game changer against Bama. They wear people out, they shouldn’t be able to do that against us as long as the offense doesn’t leave them out there all day. We have a really solid two deep on the DLine.
I’m with you boss. BTW are you still at the Mayo?
Yep. Here at least through next week.
I’ll keep the prayers up. I’m a “By his stripes” kinda guy. Bless you and you family.
I appreciate that. We know that any healing that comes, comes through Him. Sometimes he works directly and sometimes through doctors and nurses.
My prayers for your bride, also.
Agreed, we match up very well across the board with only exception being our o line vs their d line.
I would say 3 deep at several positions.
another WOW…ugh
No one should compare this Bama team to the one we played in the Sugar Bowl. That team had McCarron and Amari Cooper and were actually a balanced offense – much more dangerous. This one? Henry has to get the ball 45 times a game or they got nothing.
Just flipped back to that game for one play and that was enough- a very vanilla play where Bama actually got lucky that the receiver hung onto the ball- the pass was wobbly as f and the announcers were all gaga about the play- whatever.
I’m watching “Courage Of Lassie” until a reasonable facsimile of football is on.
Ole Yeller’s always worth another look
Didn’t see it on my schedule.
This was a good one, Lassie went to war and fought the Japs in the Aleutians and suffered PTSD. Finally made his way home and a happy ending ensued.
Well my dog (Romeo) the 7 lb. killer malti-poo, can sit and talk when spoken to.
LOL, nice
This Bama team is nowhere near as good as the one we beat.
MVP Henry sure does get stuffed in the red zone a lot.
The fat lady just sang
The only thing that’s special about Derrick Henry is his hairline. It’ll be a damn shame if he wins it over Mayfield or even McCaffery.
He’s good, just doesn’t have the OUDNA.
Henry is a solid back, but not a Heisman.
Henry is what Ross could be if he could make a cut or two, nothing more.
Truth
The reason I don’t think he deserves the heisman is that you could put any top running back there and have a bunch of success. Not the same with baker at ou. There’s only one other qb getting heisman recognition and that’s Watson.
I heard the announcer say Bama isn’t affected by up tempo anymore. Maybe he doesn’t know tht to run up tempo successfully, you have to have a decent QB.
Vern is old
Lol
He did say that, and considering Ole Miss beat them and Miss state was the only other team tempo. They pay teams that average 45-60 plays per game. Bring it. Should be a good game if it can happen
If bama doesn’t get knocked out by Iowa in the first round.
Sounds about right. Im pretty sure OU averages somewhere between 70 to 80 right?
For those still not impressed with what the Bama D has done, the Florida offense is better than that of Kansas, and Kansas accomplished way more against us than Florida has against Bama. Not saying that to say Bama is better than OU, or better than OU on D. But it’s almost impossible to shut a team down like they have today.
Kansas never flirted with playing in a game for the Conference Championship either.
Doesn’t that make my point even more?
Why would you assume I was disagreeing with you?
Im disagreeing with both of you just to be ornery
Cool- just to add to my comment- you can never really compare teams to one another unless they play head to head. Comparing KU to Florida is silly but by doing so, it might just reveal that the sec is a much weaker conference than most like to believe.
Kansas was in the Top 5 only a few years ago. Hard to believe to see what was on the field this year, but true.
Not when FU has ZERO pass threat and they load the box like they’ve done today
And KU does? lol
Sure. More so than FU. Their QB is terrible and WRs can’t make a catch
KU averaged 4 more passing yard per game than Florida did. If one is bad, both are bad.
Compare their averages since grier got suspended. Bet KU’s is ahead by more than 4.
I gave you some QB rating stats above.
Willis averages 171.9 passing YPG, harris? 136.5. Completion % are about the same, harris has a much better YPA, less TD, but also less INT.
Then as i said above, compare the talent levels surrounding each..and ya, id still take willis over harris any day of the week.
Do you work for ESPN? You fit the mold.
Ryan Willis is far and away better than Treon Harris. UF probably has the better run game, but not pass game.
Stats tell a different story.
QB ratings:
Harris – 124
Willis – 101
Some of you think your eyes are telling you one thing, but they aren’t. It’s called a bias. Check the stats.
Stats don’t tell you the whole tale. Hes,playing 25 guys short of a full roster, and dosent have 4 and 5 star guys surrounding him.
You really think Harris is better?
I don’t know when your O struggles to put up 20 against FAU
Don’t forget they got a whomping 9 against Vandy
Barely got 250 yards of offense in that game too
Florida’s offense WAS better. Then Harris became QB…the dude is garbage. plue, it’s not like Kansas is a game people just get up for. So I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
You must realize that’s apples and oranges. In what way did Kansas accomplish “way more?” You have heard of this thing called garbage time, haven’t you? It’s where you take your foot off the gas and let everyone including geriatrics and small children get playing time. Not like we were exactly trying for statistical records in that match.
Kind of hope Clemson loses so Bama can be #1, OU #2, and our potential matchup can be for all the marbles. Plus OU is guaranteed a game in Dallas that way, though I think we’re likely headed that way anyways.
I can go to the game if we’re in Dallas.
Now that’s exciting!
What is amusing about the supposed stellar defenses of both these teams is no one really knows how good they are since there is not a single offense in the SEC that can really provide an adequate test.
I’m sure playing that non-con cupcake late is more detrimental to Bama than beneficial.
Bama had the ball for 39′ vs 15ish so far. Also mean 33 more plays
Saban is going to kill Henry before he gets in the league. 40 carries each week is absurd.
Saban does not care about that
He’s on my list of people to throat punch before I die.
We play Bama, let’s score quickly and let them eat their own clock rushing Henry at 3 yards per play
If Clemson wins, I believe that we will end up #4. I’m calling it. Not that we should be, but when you look at the makeup of the 12 members of the committee; 4 from the Big10, 3 from the Sec.
Yep. And they can use the Baylor loss today as an excuse to make that move. I will be shocked if they let us go to Dallas.
Dunno- BU was playing their 4th string QB weren’t they?
They were but the committee will conveniently ignore that little tidbit.
Agreed
Not too sure on that- I don’t think the fact that Baker went down for the 2nd half against TCU was lost on them
U r using logic, they twist logic.
I just feel that they will give Bama and the Big10 winner the in on the NC. “Smash mouth” football is the only brand. V-wing from early 1900’s is what these guys grew up with and these “New fangled” offenses aren’t real football.
No!! I want to be 2 or 3 that way the game is in Dallas it would sick if we get punished for being idle and our season being completed.
I have little respect for the committee up to this point for reality. We will see if the “committee” has reality or ESecPN and BIG spin.
Alright, with these final 3 games, who are you rotting for and why? Go!
I’m rooting for any form of offense to watch
I’m looking for anything that causes more chaos when it comes to the committee. The more chaos the sooner it goes away and we get to a true playoff. To that end I want to see Clemson lose. The B10 games doesn’t matter because the winner is in.
I don’t think I have any rot left after watching ten minutes of the sec suckage.
Yeah, the rot is on the field with this group
Effing Swipe,…
**ROOT**

Any way to view the results?
Click on the menu and there’s a link for the results. They’re being swayed for Keenan whatever-his-name-is.
Just saw where an ESPiN writer claimed Iowa fans don’t want any part of the tide after watching them “trounce” Florida. Does this qualify as a “trouncing” in the SEC? Because here that would be, like, almost a tie.
Almost or breaking thirty points in the SEC is considered trouncing I guess
SEE- they knew Florida was so poorly coached and run, with so little talent, that it was very unlikely their offense would be able to score at any point in the game. The trouncing statement may have been a reference about equally piss poor Alabama team had made some sort of gentlemens agreement to not score on the hapless Floridians more then 10 points to keep the SEC illusion that the teams are actually able to play a real football game that includes both offense, defense and kicking. There have been many accusations that more then half the teams in the SEC East cannot field an actual team and primarily exist to eat and because it helps them pick up girls.
90 carries for Henry the past 2 weeks. There are residual effects for that kind of work load.
I’m sure after the workload the last couple weeks he will definitely be hungery for some meat loaf or a loaf of bread..
Watching that SEC game is like going back in time to 1960, except it was broadcast in living color.
If Clemson loses a close game, Bama gets the 1 seed, OU the 2, Big10 champ the 3 and Clemson the 4. Any thoughts?
I would give the nod the Ohio state at 4
no way in my book- they’re not the conf champ
And they looked like crap all season.
Clemson wouldn’t be a champion in that scenario either. Can’t see them letting Stanford jump with 2 losses, plus I think USC wins tonight.
True
yeah USC has been playing better once they sobered up
If Stanford wins, I think they jump tOSU even with 2 losses.
I’d probably go with Stanford if they win
If Clemson loses, I think B1G gets 2 teams in.
I hope not, but I wouldn’t bet much against it either. Committee seems to love the Big10.
Ohio State is the only team I don’t want any part of.
Bama don’t know it, but they don’t want any part of us.
If Clemson loses, I think the committe will put in 3 SEC SEC SEC teams (at the prompting of FBaum) and require that OUr team line up and beat all of them to be crowned NC.
I wouldn’t mind doing that
It would def be between TOSU Stanford and NC with both Stanford and NC having a conference title
What if Clemson wins a close game.
/hmmm
With Bama dominating a very tough SEC foe, they get a bye until after the other 3 teams play round robin. /s
I could see clemson getting jumped if they play poorly.
I agree
If Clemson wins, OU will drop to 4. That way the “committee” will have a BIG or Sec in the Championship.
Id rather play Clemson first anyways
Id rather play Clemson first anyways
We’ll see, not believing it is that cut and dried.
I would love to play Bama. Besides the fact that we own them (4-1-1), and the fact that they haven’t beaten OU since 1963, I think our offense has their db’s running in circles.
Henry gets 150 against us, Bama scores 24-28, Coker’s eyes are spinning from the pass rush and OU wins by 7-14.
Down grade at a lot of positions than when we last faced them.. the key is matching and being able to absorb their physicality while imposing our will on their talented yet beatable. Score quick and get a couple score lead that gets them out of their running game to try to match us point for point.
If we get ahead in the first half (like last time) its over…we take away the run game when we force them to play catch up…if its close in the first half it will be closer at the end
Previous game plan is a good way to start the drawing board and is definitely the key to beating Bama.
We will def have to play big. Will Johnson prob gets the first half off. We benefited from 3 turnovers in the first half ( i think). I think the key is forcing 3 and outs and scoring …get up by a few tds and turn Striker lose. Id actually rather play Bama in the finals because it will be a physical game
agreed. their 4th quarter play is going to look much, much different if they are playing us from behind. Besides, we have lots of depth on the DL and we won’t be tired in the 4thQ.
Bama players carrying Sec signs and poking their chest out like they took out a juggernaut… on a different note nice to see a conference give its winner a celebration party.
My idea of a dominant performance and SI’s idea of a dominat performance just isn’t the same thing.
https://twitter.com/si_ncaafb/status/673303701759508480
sure, whatever
Well, have to admit there was 437 total yards to 180. I didn’t watch the game though so hard to tell from stats perspective alone.
This is hysterical. ESPiN says the Tide exposed a “suspect Florida offense.”
Suspect? When your O gets outperformed by FAU and then gets shut out by your top instate rival, you no longer qualify as “suspect.” You just suck.
Don’t forget the 9 point win against Vandy.
So lets see. Kentucky, Vanderbilt and FAU (in regulation time ) all held Florida to fewer points than Alabama did. Spin that ESPN.
Just saw an article on ESPN that said Alabama exposes Floridas offense. Um what, no Florida Atlantic exposed Florida. Had nothing to do with Bama. That’s game was exactly what everyone thought it would be.
What offence do you speak of some of their scores the last couple weeks could of been mistaking for a hr and a couple of rbi doubles..
KSt is trying to run the clock out.
I will either be watching the Big10 on mute or not at all due to Gus Johnson’s terrible color analysis
I just can’t get over this. Dominant performance? In this league if you take a team that only put up 2 points in its last game and then beat them by a mere 14 points, you are not called dominant. Brimming with mediocrity maybe, but not dominant.
It was a lot like watching molasses spread.
KSt might win this thing.
CBS is to SEC, as nose is to brown
They have a contract with the SEC. What else would you expect?
Don’t expect anything less, but still sickening to listen to the announcers massage the narrative of the actual game play. Bama beat a totally overmatched Gator team, and they made it sound like the win of the century.
The Gators would get crushed by the top five in our conference. Pay no attention. The proof will be on the field.
Not sure if I ever got any feedback on what I proposed in a reply to an earlier post yesterday so I’ll put it out there in a stand-alone post here:
To resolve the issues with having conference championship games vs not-
I propose that there be 6 Power Conferences of ten teams each.
Each team plays EVERY team in their conference round robin fashion. This produces a Conf Champ.
The Conf Champs of each conf advance to the playoffs with an additional two at-large teams completing the playoff bracket. The two at-large teams gain their spot by virtue of play-in games.
Thoughts?
It makes just too much sense bro. Would create a true champion. Money guys would kill it somehow.
In CFB nothing is allowed to ever be that simple. These clowns have to be able to influence the outcome somehow or they won’t support it
Sure is simple in MBB
In CFB nothing is allowed to ever be that simple. These clowns have to be able to influence the outcome somehow or they won’t support it
I put something together that is pretty similar. I thought about breaking college football into 8 “regions” of 9 teams. I added some teams outside of the current Power 5 to make the geography and the numbers work. Cut the season to 11 games. Play 3 “out of region” games. Teams forfeit playoff chances for scheduling 1-AA opponents. Make the playoffs 12 teams. 8 “region” champs plus 4 at-large teams. Top 4 seeds get a first round bye and the higher seeds host their first round game.
Who chooses what teams move to what conferences? Sounds good in theory, but it’ll never happen.
Me, I do that 😉
Oh. Well in that case, I approve.
https://twitter.com/bobstoopsarmy/status/673308433307713536
I’m gonna go out on a small limb and say there won’t be any undefeated teams standing at the end of the night
I actually think Iowa will win.
Iowa is a very fundamentally sound team. I think they are the least talented of the contenders but nobody should be overlooking them. They won’t beat themselves.
Levi Draper announcement? I saw that they lost the championship game, but have been waiting for TFB exclusive. What’s up?
delayed
https://twitter.com/BrandonTFB/status/673261703648296960
Thanks – kind of figured that might have happened. Just did not see the update, thanks for repeating it.
Watch the end of the KSt-wvu game and flip to the acc game and nearly hurled my chicken tetrazzini when my eyes were assaulted by those sick orange uniforms. May have to watch the Big 10 game, now.
That corner number 2 for Clemson would be taken to school by Shepard. Dude was all over the place on that last play with the backup qb.
Look at NC moving on this BV defense so far
https://twitter.com/bobstoopsarmy/status/673308814930632708

Already have my tickets…
to the Led Zeppelin Experience with Jason Bonham at the Brady Theatre in Tulsa that is.
Did you catch this tribute performane with Heart and Bonham, was one of the best I ever heard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFxOaDeJmXk
Yes, great rendition.
It would have been very difficult to do right in front of the dudes that originally did it.
They knocked it out of the park
I’m a huge Heart fan and saw them teice live, but nothing beats seeing the original group perform it. Saw LZ in 74′ and they were spectacular.
Agreed. LZ and Heart were two of my favs also. She’s still got some pipes.
Yep, Ann Wilson has big time chops.
The Wilson sisters grew up as Led Zep cover band! I’ve heard they do a great job. Plants voice before the nodes and surgeries was the single greatest human voice I have ever heard! He is certainly the one to emulate.
That was pretty awesome huh…completely forgot football was on lol
I would love to be there.
Who knew, the ACC sucks but has a good title game!
NC tailback Logan has some speed.
I noticed that

OU’s gonna HOUSE Bama in the playoffs.
Is Littrell NC’s OC tonight or did he already bolt for N Texas?
I’m curious about this too if anyone knows.
man that was a nice wall set up by NC on the PR team
Watching these teams today, I think we can win this thing.
SoCal is looking like a big steamy pile.
That’s redundant
Pretenders.
Appearances are not deceiving.
Yes, but they can still get personal fouls for hitting a guy that tries to help them up.
Canzeri injured. Not good for the hawks
He was hurt earlier in the year. They have a committee. It’s all about consistency with them.
Watching Clemson you have to spy on this QB…you can’t rush 3 and drop all 8 deep into coverage.
He’s a good QB. Not spectacular, but good.
More afraid of his legs than his arm.
We’d pick him at least twice.
I’m not sure NC, Clemson, Iowa or Michigan State could stay on the field with us.
Clemson could.
No. We make them throw. Play man to man and dare them to beat us passing. Play tight and make them throw over our heads. Put Parker near the LOS to spy the QB…One safety over top.
I think Clemson, when they are on their game, are the best in the final four. When we are on our game, we’re right there also.
Agree.
I think Clemson & MSU are tough outs but we could/should be favored.
Did I see this correctly? I looked up SOS and OU is ranked #1. Then I already knew OU was #1 FPI. Is that correct? Are we #1 in both SOS and FPI?
No, we are not #1 in SOS. Sagarin has us at 20. Bama at 5.
Our SoS took some hits with TCU, OSU, and BU all ending up with multiple losses.
Actually it doesn’t matter. When two of your opponents play each other one win and one loss go into the overall total. It doesn’t matter which one it is in most SOS formulas.
According to the latest figures OU came out #1, and Bama was #2 on SOS. I’m not sure I agree with the Bama ranking thought. At the end of the year, no one had beaten 4 top 25 schools but OU.
Link? Would like to see the latest figures.
Here’s one.
https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other
Sorry, I didn’t see you had already posted it.
This is one of the one’s I was referring to. This is not Sagarin.
https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other
When everyone in your conference starts the year out before theyve even played one down of football ranked in the top 25 its going to help out your SOS in a big way.
Not true. Most SOS rankings have nothing to do with rankings. It’s computer computations of game results and team efficiencies. The human polls don’t play a factor.
Spy on the qb make him pass.
Not saying we’d completely destroy any of these teams but I haven’t seen anything impressive today
Agree. Doesn’t matter who we play
NC qb choking. They should give the passing qb a series just to settle down Williams.
These games are like watching paint dry.
Its going to be kinda funny when Alabama loses to Iowa in the first round.
What a play by MSU
I think we match up well with any of the other playoff teams, perhaps better with our run/throw balance, and Baker’s ability to make plays is huge. I mainly want to come back after five weeks off healthy, have our rhythm, and continue the trend of few penalties and turnovers.
Draper is a Sooner
Link?
Above obviously by now lol
I think they rank us no 1. It’s that kind of year. Bama 2, Clemson 3, B1G champ 4…
No way
They are all watching these games together in Dallas. Based on that and OU’s last game.
We’ll be lucky to be #3
I dunno. If it comes to a guess of what I’ll see first – pigs flying or this committee awarding us a #1 ranking, my guess is pigs flying.
Boom

That’s it, Fire Kish.
Seriously, keeps signing four stars. We need some fives.
There you go
Boom from C’ville!
Boom! Yes!
BOOM! YES!!!!
Switzer for the score!! Now I have to root for NC
Wow! The punter for Clemson is toast!
BOOOOOOMM!! Draper is IN!!
Tar Heels take the lead
C’mon North Cakalaki, bring home the W
Welcome aboard, Mr. Draper.
Is it me or are we incredibly deep at LB now, with possibly more to come??
Fire Kish, he’s signed too many good LB’s.
I may have suggested that last year and boy do I feel stupid. Sorry Kish.
You are not alone my friend. Many of us did.
I was one also (hangs head in shame)
I actually went up to his house with a pitch fork and torch!
I saw you there!
It feels good just to get it out in the open
You think you feel stupid, I was campaigning for anyone but Baker, last spring because, (and I quote myself), “he just turns the ball over too much”.
I feel your shame, and I have another one. I actually slammed everyone for criticizing our offensive line play early in the season, including JY, downright embarrassing and I should be caned.
That’s one area that has made a dramatic improvement. They were….well awful early in the year. Coach B kept cracking and sorting, adjusting away until it fit. With Frison coming back and a few new players, look out next year.
There was somebody this week that wanted to fire/replace Kish. Unreal the hate that guy gets.
Yeah, all he does is sign top LB’s and has them ready to play. Who wants that in a LB coach?
People where mad we missed on Wheeler and Jefferson last year to go along with DeBerry and if we add Juraez this year with Draper and Hines next year and Browning just wow
Speaking of Wheeler he was playing for UT today as a true freshman. We missed out on a good one.
As was Malik Jefferson I.think is the kids name they are both good
True but I dont think we really had much of a shot at Jefferson. Wheeler came right down to the wire.
I was well pleased and deeply relieved when he went to Texsa. Wheeler has no heart, heavy feet, doesn’t hustle and stands around if the ball goes away from him. Saw him in the state championship game and he was a complete dud.
Caleb Kelly…
Well to me he is already a Sooner lol
and fire that Lon Kruger guy while you’re at it! 🙂
Obviously has no idea what he’s doing. While they’re at it burn the whole thing down and start over. #fire mike stoops
Well that’s yet to be seen TBH mean we can guess and assume so. But wont say until we see the product on the field
Kish, head coach in waiting. Sorry Lincoln
Uhhhhh…did I miss something?
Levi draper’s commitment. Kish is killin it
https://thefootballbrainiacs.com/ou-oklahoma-sooners-football-2017-lb-levi-draper-commits
It seems that we have more FB players trying to injure, rather than play the game. I feel that the game has evolved into something that I am not quite comfortable with. When I played, there were rules about how the game was played. Sure, if a guy played “dirty” we would rough him up, but it seems it is becoming the norm in today’s game. Am I wrong?
Nothing intentional about most targeting plays. Just a lot of years of poor form on tackles. Players lead with the helmet a lot. Going to take a generation with the targeting rules and emphasis on better form before it shows up.
But I don’t see 90% of it as intentional or dirty.
Make em play with out masks..that will fix it quick
That’s why I’ve been advocating the change from tackle to flag football. Kidding aside, I agree and don’t understand it either.
Going for 2 early in the game might come back to bite NC
That play should have been reviewed, Clem might have got in
It feels weird Texsa has wins against us and Baylor this year
Mirage.
They have talent. Just like OU last year. Not an apples to apples comparison, but if they bring in Cumbie from TCU to install the spread, and Heard makes some improvements, they’ll be a salty team. D wasn’t bad this year.
They have a real QB type coming in as a freshman, too.
Well, that’s something different for them. When was the last time they had a real QB?
Most would say Colt McCoy, so 6 years.
Are we seriously supposed to believe that defense in the B1G is that good? 3 points in the entire 1st half Sparty? Are you kidding me? 3 #%$@! points?
We’re killing it on recruiting on the defense. Our front 7 and even DBs are starting to look stupid good for the next few years. Still somewhat worried about skill position players on offense though. Landing Jones or Cleveland would help.
At the rate things are going we may end up scoring more points in our “conference championship game” than both teams scored in any of the others.
Matt Leinart just stuck up for OU. Appreciative, but gross.
Why did he have to?
Wannstadt being a douche again about us not playing today in a CCG.
He does come getting the Pat Jones Big XII hate tree
I hope every team currently playing and in the top 4 win. I don’t want the committee to have a
reason to do something crazy. Worse case they drop OU to 4 behind Iowa if the other top 3 win.
With the top four winning their last games, I don’t see the ranking changing.
If they drop us behind Iowa or MSU after that half, I’ll be pretty pissed.

I concur.
agreed
LOL!
Stanford.
LOL!
USC.
Every time I see Mark May, I just want to see someone to “Walking Dead” him. 🙂
Que?
Tv show that you don’t watch.
“I want to see someone to…”
Que?
fat fingered was supposed to be a *go
Hide him under a dumpster?
Would love the opportunity to punch him in the neck.
I’d like to beat him to death with a bicycle. I can’t stand his a**.
Last week we were told OU’s conference championship winning performance against OSU wouldn’t be factored in until tomorrow’s vote.
If that’s true, OU should #2, or #1. I doubt they will be, however, they SHOULD be.
That’s what I am saying, I think we’ll be no 1. More wish than I actually believe it though.
With what Clemson is starting to do, they stay #1. And with Bama winning at all, we don’t jump them either. I think we stay #3.
I’m witchu.
After watching a bunch of football today, I really feel that Clemson has to only offense that would consistently threaten our defense. I mean, Alabama runs the ball well and Henry is a legit stud, but I would have NO problem leaving our corners alone with their wideouts and stacking the box against them. Clemson’s offense is more like what we are used to seeing in the Big12, but their run game isn’t that impressive. We see more well rounded offenses every week in conference.
I agree in general about Alabama other than Ridley going up against Sanchez would be scary.
The clemson QBs running is worrisome.
I don’t see any DL discipline by North Carolina.
It’s his free lancing that I am referring to. Quite nimble.
Yeah. He does have a knack for getting free.
and an accurate passer
Supposedly, but from what little I could bear to watch because of the vomit inducing orange, he was not all that.
At least it isn’t puke orange. I saw enough of that earlier today!
I didn’t see any of that and don’t care for the visual insult from the acc game.
You know Venables is saying the same thing about Mayfield.
Their defense is better than anyone we see in the conference though.
Henry was a legit stud…tonight? Dude didn’t get more than 3 ypc until the defense gave up.
No, he IS a legit stud. 6’3″, 240lbs. Fast. Runs hard. 2k yards is good anywhere. In the SEC it is exceptional. I hate the SEC, but they do have some good D’s. Florida was consistently good all year against the run and he put up 186 on them. We sure as hell couldn’t stop him as a freshman, and he’s better now.
Florida played SEC teams and a superb OOC schedule, facing powerhouses such as Florida Atlantic, New Mexico State and East Carolina. When they faced FSU they gave up 183 yards in 26 carries to Dalvin Cook, at home.
He faced an OU defense that wasn’t a good rush D but was focused on stopping one thing: McCarron, who was a much better QB. THAT is why he ran for 100 yards vs. OU.
Yeah. That, and he’s a helluva running back. Look, I’m not saying we can’t beat them, and I’m not saying we can’t beat them even if Henry has a great game. Bama ran for over 300 on Auburn and only scored what? Two offensive TDs. We can beat anyone the way we are playing but to refuse to give the young man credit is asinine. I will go so far as to say that the last time we played Bama, if Henry was in the entire game, we don’t beat them. We simply had no answer for the dude. You say he didn’t do well until Florida gave up. Did they? Or did they wear down under the pounding of 40+ carries from Henry? We see that with Perine too, remember? He’s averaging over 6 yards a carry over the year. He’s exceptional. Perhaps we will just have to agree to disagree.
No, Perine is a better back that has rarely been shut down the way I’ve seen Henry shut down. The only thing Henry is better at is falling forward, but that’s due to his size. Won’t do much for him in the NFL. Henry was shut down until Bama went up after that big TD…then they stopped focusing on stopping Henry, but their D was exhausted by this time because it was late in the 3rd. Go back and watch it if you need to.
Like I said above, we will just have to agree to disagree. MY opinion is that he’s a hellva back, and I’m comfortable in the proof of that statement. You disagree. That’s cool. I like Perine and Mixon both better, because in addition to them being excellent runners, they both block and catch the ball as well. This isn’t a comparison between Henry and any other back.
He’s a good back, but he looks much better than he is because of the line he plays behind and the teams they face. This argument is oddly similar to one I had about Ingram back in 09. It sucks to have Heisman trophy’s won by guys who get it handed to them by the media.
Oh, and regarding the 6 YPC, look at his line. Drake has 5 YPC and I consider him about the same as Brennan Clay. You could put pretty much any decent back in that backfield and get 5 YPC out of them.
He also got those yards with a tired DL that was not deep and our NT was out with back surgery.
MSU/Iowa is a snoozer. Offensive productivity is an embarrassment. I guess in Bristol that means you’re playing real defense.
It’s like neither team has an offensive identity, they just run some plays and they some times work, but mostly don’t.
But of course the narrative for the next few weeks will be how the B1G is just a defensive juggernaut. They’re already posting stories the last couple days that the B1G is now staking it’s claim as the best conference in CFB. If ESPiN has their way the SEC and B1G will just take turns donning the title “Best in America”. What a racquet.
That pick really changed the N. Carolina momentum. Game might be over now..
That’s game. UNC done.
Not watching, what is the score?
27-16.
The Big 10 scrum is about to be 6-6.
They will want to make sure Bama is playing for the championship. So, don’t be surprised if Bama jumps to #1, Clemson #2 and OU stays at #3, B1G #4.
I’m just not buying into that, if the top four remain the same I think the order will too.
I don’t think the committee wants Bama playing OU.
I don’t know of any factual basis that can be based on.
I don’t have any facts to give, my friend, just my gut.
Try some Pepto. 🙂
The committee knows that Bob is at his best when he feels disrespected. So they are going to put us number one hoping we will be at a disadvantage.
The cabal will do what it does, but I can’t believe that they would do something blatantly biased as some suggest, it would destroy any vestige of credibility for this young format.
Tcu/baylor last year? Pffft, they didn’t earn or deserve it like the buckies did with their late season run.
I think there is a bias, but it is more an age bias. They have a bunch of old coaches making the decision. They have a preference for football the way it was when they coached. That plays against us, but is not a specifically anti OU bias.
I think there are also some biases that work in our favor. I think Bob Stoops has a lot of respect in the coaching community. Heck, other coaches voted him the top one they would want their sons to play for. I think we also get the helmet school bump because the old guys think of OU as one of the blue bloods.
So far they seemed to have treated us pretty fairly. We are after all rated above a undefeated team from a P5 conference. That doesn’t sound like they are terribly biased against us.
Valid points. Maybe an “era” bias as opposed to an age bias.
Fair enough.
Did someone hit a bases loaded triple?
I fear Clemson because MS has had trouble slowing down a running Qb.
Plus he can make all the throws.. let’s hope we can use the second half of the Tennessee game playbook.
New product coming soon- Big10quil
Be careful Barry Alvarez and Osbourne may hear you!
They don’t even realize the web exists…
I’ve been more impressed with Stanford today than any other team
I can’t believe NC just tried a fake punt. They probably just gave the game away.
I may be mistaken but wasn’t Solomon Thomas a kid we was trying to recruit to OU he is a player.
I had to get on my computer to find out for you, but yes he was.
Thank you sir!
UNC looks like this is their first game against a ranked opponent all year.
Boomer! Revenge tour next stop Clemson.
Its looking that way
Would be good if we could start with Finebaum and finish with revenge.
I really hope that OU gets Bama in Dallas, and that I’m wrong in my prediction that the Committee will not put us there.
I agree with your prediction. I think the Committee will put the B1G winner over us no matter what.
Nah, lackluster performances- doubt many can stomach watching a FG Fest
If Iowa wins then they’ll say undefeated Iowa played amazing defense against a top 10 team. If MSU wins they’ll say top 10 team just knocked off an undefeated Iowa team with amazing defense.
I agree that an argument could be made either way but still think we’re a solid #3. This battle, in my mind is for the 4th slot.
I hope youre right but call me paranoid but I think they dont want OU playing Bama and its looking like Bama will be #2
I obiously want revenge, but they are the most dangerous of the 3 teams we will face..
It’s a bad thing when doubt creeps in.
I have the upmost confidence that we will get revenge. They seemed to be clicking on both sides of the ball is all.
You think we’re gonna drop to #4 then huh?
Let the winner get rewarded with the 4th spot, for making us watch this crap..
I think #1, #2, and #3 stays the same, #4 could prove to be a crapshoot based on the lame Big 10 game.
They keep trading 3 run homers…
Stanford and McAffrey look scary, better than a two loss team
Good luck to them in their Bowl.
Exactly
Good luck against TOSU (or the loser of the B10 champ game) in the Rose bowl
Stanford vs TOSU would be a good game
Dang right
They ought to be in place of the B1G chump.
#4 is just going to be weak for #1 I’m afraid
Stanford is schizophrenic, they look good…tonight.
Katt just said the B10 offenses are playing that bad, but the defenses are just a little bit better. Ridiculous to say in a 6-6 late in the 3rd.
It’s still the 3rd inning? Who’s pitching?
Sparty just hit a 3-run Homer to go up 9-6.
Has any game today appeared to have been played at a pace near OU’s?
Not only do I think we play at a quicker pace, I believe we’re a faster team than the remaining, in play teams.
Every team today seems beatable and I was thoroughly repulsed with the BAMA/Florida game. Alabama was basically playing a High School team (based off of the type of penalties and mistakes) in Florida and still didn’t look great. OU should soundly beat any team that played today
So MSU now 9-6 in the battle of the FG’s. What is this, the SEC?
World’s first 7 run Home Run
It’s going to take at least 3 field goals for msu to catch up now..
Wow I switch games and a touchdown pass
Might be the only one in this game. .
And a bomb at that
OU probably going to.Miami, clemson might go to Dallas
nah
It’s really stupid to seed teams so far away from their fan base. OU / iowa are closest to Dallas… Bama/ clemson in the South Miami… No brainer!
So Iowa #1 seed?
Iowa / OU take your pick.
They shouldn’t rank them on the basis of play. You need bodies in the seats.
Terrible idea.
Why?
I wonder how much weight the win over a top 5 team will carry?
no way
No!!!
If Clemson wins, wouldn’t Miami be the most advantageous place for them?
Not really
I was leading the witness and you didn’t follow- Bob wins.
LOL!
Yes. It’s closer and it’s within their conference. All the other schools are closer than Clemson is to Dallas. If they have the choice they go to Miami.
Yes…you have to also figure fan base and miami is def closer for theirs
I feel all kind of messed up today no OU football on off on a Saturday rooted for the Longhorns rooting against USC that feels ok but the rest feels all wrong
McAffrey is shredding the condoms
which is how little Christian was born.
How pissed would the committee be if the title was OU/Iowa!? 2 states with a combined population of less than 7 million. Haha
Bama gets great ratings, as does OU.
Iowa/Clemson would be the worst for ratings.
Agreed, but even regionally people watch. Other than Texas, who else would watch for Iowa? I have no idea. But yes, Clemson/Iowa would be sh*t
Could see two undefeated conference champs ranked 1 and 2. OU drops to 4 so they don’t get Dallas.
It would suck to have OU travel all the way to miami to play in what could be a home game for Clemson
I really don’t think this team cares who or where they play- OU has had a lot of memorable, successful trips to Miami.
We’ve actually done quite well on the road this year (outside of RRR)
I just want a huge fan base there, and Dallas presents the best option
Miami is nowhere close to a home game for Clemson.
9-10 hour drive? Much closer than what we would have and much cheaper
Yes it more advantageous to them than us, but by no means a home game at all.
Our fans will be wherever it is. Obviously we would love Dallas, but we lost that right to bitch about in October.
Florida in the orange bowl and Lsu in the sugar bowl… this should come at no surprise..
OU finishes #3, end of story. Nothing that happens in this Big 10 game changes their ranking.
Best new I heard since the boom earlier…
My thoughts as well, this is kind of a play-in game for the 4th slot.
And they are not disappointing at all for the last spot…
Ain’t that the truth, meatchicken state just threw an incomplete one yard pass.
Wildcat and delayed shovel passes is what msu is trying to use to break this game open…
Break it open? LOL! They need a TD to win.
I’ll bet you 20 tater tots on that and give you 2 – 1 odds.
No, you will want to hang onto your tots, I have plenty. 🙂
Im sure you do. In case armagedon arrives you’re definitely my Tot source.
I know how to make them, too.
I fry a mean egg.
Mean eggs are the best.
Never had a mean egg, had some mean rooster a time or two, though.
Father of a mean egg
..
They say that isn’t how it works though. That is more how the traditional polls work. Things might stay the same, but I don’t think it’s a given. Guess we’ll find out what’s important, and what they think of the Big 12 not having a CCG.
I’m guessing it depends on how they compare the Big XII and big 10. MSU would have a good record vs top 20, but Iowa would have what, 1? Both of which would be compared to OU
They said last week that they wouldn’t factor OU’s Conference Championship in until the final week- this helps us.
You believed them?
Yes, I’ve purchased cars from them for years.
lol
Or it hurts us. Again, depends what they think of the Big 12 conference, and us not having a CCG. We just don’t know how they are going to weigh all of this. If Big 10 is the #1 conference, does an undefeated Big 10 champ move up? I dunno. Going to be interesting tomorrow.
We stayed at #3 without the conference championship added in, it will equalize with all the other champs.
Absolutely, all conference champs get that value added at the same time.
Unless something bizarre happens, our margin of victory in our “championship game” will be greater than the total score in the B10 game.
This Big 10 game is all TOSU’s fault, how in the heck did they lose to these chumps at home?
Because they aren’t very good either this season.
Agreed, but better than these two except for one day
Who cares, I am just glad they lost. They are the chosen ones of the national committee. They didn’t deserve a spot last year and certainly don’t this year.
Thanks, I needed that slap in the face
Next year we get to kick their ass early. ?
Agree this year, but they seemed to do pretty well with that undeserved spot last year.
Still didn’t deserve it. TCU had a better resume. Ohio State made it because their name was Ohio State and TCU’s name was Texas Christian. If OU or Texas was in TCU’s spot last year they would have gone. It was pure elitism.
Tcu/baylor don’t look good in a beauty contest.
Indeed. Glad they showed up in their championship game and bumped tcu/baylor.
Too bad there is no way we can play the Big 10 in the first round, they suck.
Clemson and OU are the two best teams. Too bad if they have to play in round one.
OK, boys and girls I’ve had enough paranoia for the day. I will see y’all tomorrow.
Look out..
I have tons of respect for Iowa. They just keep winning. They are the biggest underdogs, with a whole club full of doubters. At this point, wouldn’t mind playing them in the NCS game. Storyline: Frentz vs Stoops..
As of right now Im thinking 1 Clemson 2 Bama 3 Iowa ( undefeated ) 4 OU OR
1Clemson 2 Bama 3 OU 4 MSU
If Iowa being undefeated gets them above OU, why not above Bama?
Because they “Heart” Bama
I know the b10 game is boring and bama sux, but their defenses look pretty dang good to me. I just know in the past we’ve struggled against really good defenses….anyone concerned with me???
Not really
2 more downs for MSU…
Sparty marching..
And apparently breaking ankles!
Compound!
Why do they have to have their selection show right in the middle of my church service?!?
Doesnt your church have wifi? Take your phone.
And ear buds!
And maybe a tablet.
MSU in striking range
Clemson’s D line is killing NC’s o line… Man
Msu playing for their season on this drive score a td and they most likely punch their golden ticket.
Who y’all for? Msu or Iowa?
MSU
Iowa…I guess.
Agree, disrupts the polls less
Doesn’t matter we prob won’t see either one of them
Iowa…
For the CFP…
4th and 2
First down
How nuts would it be if Iowa held them 4 straight times here
That would be so nuts
2 was exciting enough.
Did not see the option coming
Cook trying to will his team to victory!
Gritty
But will he?
THIS is why Im glad we have Baker. In the end he’ll will OU to victory
It was very Mayfieldish for sure…
I have more confident in him than any qb in recent memory.
The computer line is more accurate than the sticks.
This just might get overturned
No way maybe the spot but first down regardless
Sparty will win….if the spot holds.
Four straight QB sneaks coming
I think you have to let them score. I know that sucks, but they are going to score with 4 shots.
And all Iowa would need is a FG to tie.
Shut em down with the d
I would rather be on offense right now
You don’t have Iowa’s offense
Come on……is there anything ( other than sex ) better than College football?
music
I guess I need to listen to your music collection.
Its out there man. I listen to everything
Hockey
Wedding day, children’s birth, eating pecan pie all while watching football and having sex while the game is on its a win win
Ok guys it was a rhetorical question lol
No such thing here
so I see
You have questions, we have answers…..it’s what we do here.
I dont know how politically correct they are but you’ll get answers ?
A mutton lettuce and tomato sandwich?
Big boys up front for Iowa
Wow, 3 feet for a CFP spot, nuts!
Throw the stats out the window
Still have to kick off
Oh the irony
Wow, what a run.
Msu displaying the heart and desire of a champion!
Helluvan effort!
Down goes Iowa!
Not just yet.
Count on it.
Yep.
10 minute drive in which MSU went 5 for 5 on 3rd and 1 for 1 on 4th downs. Thats a championship drive!
What. An. Effort.
Glad they didn’t get whistle happy and blow or early!
A good return and two pass plays
UNC making it close
That still on?
One score game with about a minute and a half left.
Okay, just hope the clemson uniforms don’t make me puke.
Carolina got screwed.
Mighty Clemson D…
Seth Littrell
Anybody watch Stanford-nD last week
Who knew the boring-ass Big 10 title game would have the most excitement!?
Iowa has had some success throwing downfield– here we go.
This is why you don’t burn TOs
Seemed to just help Msu…
Time Out, Utah State
If iowa hadn’t used them they would have even less time now.
Well at least these games have gotten a little more interesting
Wow, offsides on NC!? BAD CALL!
45-37 Clemson…
Down Goes Children of the Corn
Nebraska played today?
Or did you mean Children of the Potato?
Iowa has corn
So who gets the 4hole, us or Sparty?
Meatchicken State.
Sparty
C’mon, man!
B1G offense is just comical; the lack of innovation is astonishing. I mean seriously, do these guys know anything besides run up the middle a yard at a time? I’m telling ya….if these schools are paying their OC’s more than, say, $8.50 an hour, they’re getting ripped off.
That ball laid there for eternity can’t believe NC didn’t recover it…
UNC just got hosed on an offside call. They recovered the onside kick but a terrible offside call had them kick it again.
Man those are some really tired offensive teams.
Unc gets screwed by the refs
Twice!!. can’t believe it.
That’s ok. We need to check Clemson off on our revenge tour.
You have to admit with the playoff now you get more views on these ccgs. Don’t think Ive ever clicked thru 3 games to fig out an equation lol
Wow poor NC that was a bad bad bad call the ACC will offer another apology tomorrow for bad refs
What was the call?
Offsides. Replay showed nobody was within a yard. UNC recovered an onside kick that was called back.
They called offsides on NC player on onside kick that they recovered and there was no one within a yard of being offsides even Herbstreet and his co host said it was bad. Said ACC has had many issues this year.
They want to send their best team to the big dance.. hopefully it wasn’t some home town cooking.
Thank goodness we have the outright Big XII title
OU might be moved to 4 because ESPN doesn’t want OU-Alabama in the first round. They also don’t want us in Dallas.
f espn
Clemson
Alabama
OU
Sparty
That’s my guess too
Alabama
Clemson
OU
Must
Stupid autocorrect
They might move Bama ahead of Clemson…we’ll see
Undefeated Clemson, 1 loss Bama, 1 loss OU, 1 loss Sparty
Yessir.
We could own underdog role for two games, I’d take that
And, if Deshaun wins the Heisman w/Baker finishing 2nd- our boys will be fired up to prove Baker deserved it.
Striker to tell Deshaun he’s there to get his boy’s Heisman back
yep
Insert Henry but other than that I agree.
He already has a candy bar named after him
And a rifle.
And my dad
Yep.
Yup. They should just announce it now. Everybody knows.
Absolutely, why make us wait until the morning?
Just have the 5-25 special tomorrow. OU-Bama would have to be the primetime game, right?
5-25?
Everyone not in the top 4.
Nos. 5 thru 25. We already know 1 thru 4.
Gotcha.
Msu loves living on the edge and winning games at the last second.
There was not one team I saw today that scares me
Clemson qb is Mike stoops defence kryptonite in recent history, but this is a different oklahoma defence that has adjusted and displayed how mutiple it can be so hopefully we have a game plan for him.
Clemson and OU are the two best teams. Hope the don’t play until the final.
Which means the committee will be sure to put them against each other so the SEC at least makes the championship game.
Make Alabama and Msu bang their brains together for making us watch their pedestrian offences.
I hate Dabo’s voice.
And his dancing
Just exclude the voice and apostrophe s
Bama, Clemson, OU, Sparty or Clemson, Bama, Sparty, OU.
I hope for Bama in Dallas, but you heard Herbie and Chris, the Committee is going to work through it.
I’m afraid there is no way we end up in Dallas…too big an advantage for number 3.
We’ll see. I’m not buying that line.
me either, they take care of the 1 seed and don’t care about the others
I hope I’m wrong.
Herbie and Fowler sure seemed to think there was something to the ceding.
Love Herbie and his brutal honestly some of his peers should take notes
Archie Griffin just got snubbed. I hope there is a clip of that floating around tomorrow.
Stanford is better than the Big 10
2 losses, right?
Yes, but I am happy they aren’t in the playoffs
Yeah, Ed’s son is a stud
With a dual-personality.
Kiss of death, early and late season losses
Not Northwestern.
LOL!
The Stanford I saw tonight without the late season loss to Oregon, yes
So far on the mother ship, 3 “experts” are calling us at 4 bc of MSU’s resume and bc of the recency bias of them playing and us not.
We’ll see.
MSU resume?
LOL.
Nobody wants to listen to me.
f the mother ship
Unless it’s Herbie, they’re not experts
Other than location it really doesnt matter. We have to beat Bama and Clemson either way.
They won 3 games during that last half min of the game mediocrity should not be rewarded.
They are going to put us at 4 to keep us out of Dallas.
Is there and echo in here?
they don’t care about any of the teams except the 1 seed
Why would they want to keep OU out of Dallas? Defacto home game?
If undefeated Iowa would have won I’d have said we’d be #4. Now Im thinking #3 but we’ll see
I just heard from my buddy who talk to his cousins aunt….and she said no way!
This talk is blasphemy until we know for sure let’s keep this hope for a home game..
Wow, Kirk Herbstriet, notorious Big 10 homer has us at 3.
smart man
All I want for Xmas is to watch my sooners roll Bama in jerry world..
You’ll have to wait until New Years Day
Eve
my bad
Helping
Sure would make the New Year’s Day black-eyed peas and cornbread go down smooth.
True dat.
Collards or turnips?
Whatever is best/freshest, along with smoked hamhocks.
My man!
I don’t mind waiting for somthing this good…
He picked us to be in the playoff at the beginning of the season
Herbie always gives us a fair shake. His family and BS know each other from Ohio and have vacationed together.
He’s a BS homer, if he can be.
OU will be #3.
That is all.
Ok who else other than me wants to kick the ever loving crap out of that kid in the Peter Pan commercial?
Playing Bama first feels right
It does, doesn’t it?
They want us we want them time to prove to the country in a national championship setting Bama is what everyone thought they was..
Yep. Anyway, I’d far rather face them first then Clemson – and it is almost certainly Clemson we will be facing for the big prize.
Feel like we bout to get bama in Dallas
Have a gut feeling that the there’s a consensus out there that wouldn’t mind seeing Bama’s shine start to tarnish.
Leinart puts us at #4, and then calls us the most dangerous team, moron
Well according to what you said hes really only half a moron.
He had said earlier we should be #1 at halftime… just a talking head for sure.
He prob was just guessing where the committee would put us
Look closely, & #justwaitonit
Now get a inside running mate in Southall and we could be done on the dline with exception of the right player or two or a transfer.
I don’t give a hill of beans where we land, just be one of the four. Sit back and enjoy the ride. One at a time.
Nice post.
I could go to the “Death Star,” it’s only about 40 miles from me. So there is that.
I might be there for that. I definitely have the time to take off. I shall try.
You have room for all of us?
No, and might have a family conflict, but don’t know yet.
We could make this a brainiacs event!
It just seems logical and deserving for sooner nation.
For so many Sooner fans it would be wonderful, they could come down game day, tail gate, have a grand old time and drive back home after the game. No airfare, hotels and restaurants.
Watching ESPN. A lot of the “Experts” are picking OU #4
Meh, I’ll wait about 12 hours for the words that matter.
ditto
Just move OU to #2. Problem solved.
The Bama faithful travel extremely well we know…there will a ton of different shades of Crimson in Texas..no orange in sight….
What a glorious image you just planted in my brain pan.
I can hear the announcers now “theres not a empty seat in the house, everybody wearing the same color”
Levi Draper?
Done.
I was hoping to see him play next year but we move back down to 4A.
Where you from Dustin
Grove
Nice I am originally from Nowata now living in Sapulpa
Right on. I had some family in Nowata for a short time.
Thx Ray!

Mentioned several times earlier by others, our Big XII Championship factors in tomorrow, not this past ranking, we’ll stay #3
That’s why it didn’t reflect in the rankings this might be our lucky ace…
We could see some more BOOMS! soon, with the official word we are in the CFP.
was it the 18th for Daniels or is that date just stuck on me because of Star Wars
Yes.
19th I believe
Edit: sorry, it is the 18th.
18th his bday
Hopefully they witnessed all this sloppy football and decide it’s best to sign with the good guys.
Draper wised up and relize its not all butterfly and fluffy clouds in stool water and made a life changing decision for the best now follow suit everybody he is leading the way.
Well I stand by what I’ve said for weeks. The real too 4 is Clemson, OU, MSU, Iowa with Bama at 5. The CFP won’t agree but that’s what I saw today. I think the CFP swaps MSU & Iowa and calls it a day.
Well… If Bama isn’t top 4 material, they’ll get exposed.
Just got to understand that this game will be won or loss in the trenches luckly our dline is deep and healthy and punches them in the mouth while absoring their physicality, while feeling confident with the most versatile offence they have seen in years.
The officiating crew is being killed on all sports network for that phantom offsides call on NC.
My Bama buddy’s top 4: OU, Clemson, Bama, MSU. Smart dude, travels to all the games, knows football. He’s hoping for OU/Bama, but he’s scared of the defense
If I was a Bama fan I would be scared of our offence.
He is worried about Striker vs Coker and our DBs vs …. Who? Exactly.
We will most likely see our 3-4-4 defence with only one high safety putting our cb on a island and every one else will be used to stop the run.
No white or cooper this time just normal and rather average wr.
Most teams can’t handle their physicality up front on both sides of the ball we are built for any style and can match the pace of any team with our versatility. To top it off we got a qb that will never quit regardless how bleak the situation.
Conner Cook with a classless snatch and ignore move of the great archie Griffin.
The way I think that they’ll write in the top 4 1) Clemson. undefeated power 5 champ with Heisman contender at QB. no question. 2) Alabama, came in at #2, no reason to change that after a convincing SEC championship win. Now it gets interesting. 3) I think that MSU jumps OU here. They have one more win and their one loss wasn’t as bad 4) OU. No mystery about this since last week. The only difference is that we get jumped. 3,4 could go the other way though.
Heisman prediction: Will be Henry. Should be McCaffery. Henry has been annointed for the past 8 weeks. As impressive as he has been in setting the SEC rushing title, McCaffery set the all-time all yardage record for the entire FBS. He put up 461(!) tonight to pass up Barry Sanders. SEC and East Coast bias, plus the fact that Stanford isn’t in the playoffs will keep McCaffery from winning though.
All valid points
I just don’t think there resume is any where near ours, plus there lost being to a bad Nebraska team, while they was winning nail bitters we was blowing out the cream of our conference on the road. I don’t see how they could be better in any sense.
Our loss was to a bad Texas team. We won some nail-biters too, including one at home against TCU in that stretch you’re talking about. Also, the argument can be made (legitimately) that those wins shouldn’t carry as much weight because TCU and Baylor were both without their starting QB. So, I think arguments can be made for either case.
Man, I just watched a replay of that UT-Baylor game. How the hell does UT manage to barely beat a team without a QB? If Baylor hadn’t fumbled on that fourth down run, then i think they would have won.
Baylor still has all its skill guys and a good “overrated” defence.
still, they basically resurrected the wing-t for 3 quarters of that game. Why Texas was playing a deep safety when Baylor had a WR playing QB is beyond me. It’s like they couldn’t believe that Baylor didn’t have a really good QB.
Should of just used Coleman in Tavon Austin role all game. Instead of spurts here and there.
Yeah, maybe, it’s hard to second guess in a game like that though. It’s pretty amazing the type of parity that has come to college football. Baylor and Stanford were doormats the entire time I was growing up. There are just so many teams now that can win on any given day.
Glad we was able to calm the sea and get things back to normal.
Sound’s like the OU Texas game.
If Mayfield doesn’t get speared that lead only gets bigger both of our loses are to a simular talented team. As for the teams playing with backups thst just the luck of the draw, while maintaining one of the healthiest teams in recent memory. I just know that while this team has picked up steam and is clicking on all cylinders and quite possibly has a strong argument to be #1.
Like you said, playing backups is just the luck of the draw, which includes us. BM was out the entire second half in that TCU game and we all saw what happened. So, if you can’t discount big wins because of the opponents having backup QB, then you also can’t oversell nail-biters because of your own starter being out.
Other than than the one loss the only game that was remotely in doubt was Tcu. All we did was beat the opposing team decisively while looking rather dominant on both sides of the ball.
Florida was playing their backup QB, no one mentions that…Bama’s “Dominant” victory over powerful SEC East foe, according to ESPN and other sports writers. How is this any different than Baylor or TCU for OU?
He may have a bunch of receptions this season but I’ll take Shepard and his uncanny ability to find the endzone all day.
As a WR for sure, but I sure wouldn’t turn my nose up at having a kid like McCaffery on my team. Can you imagine what Mayfield would be able to do with him playing out of the slot?
I’m sure he is a heak of a player that makes tough catches when matters most and we could definitely find a spot for him. I was just only comparing the two if I had to choose.
Yeah, all I was talking about to begin with was why he should win the heisman. The fact is that he’s at a perfect place for him to shine. With as many playmakers as we have here, he’d probably just be another bullet in the gun. I live in AK, so I see a ton of Pac-12 games that no one east of the Rockies ever watches. You don’t realize how good he is until the game is over and all of sudden he has 300+ yards.
Shepards biggest strength can not be measured or with a stop watch… and not to sound like a Homer but I’ll still take our backfield over anyone in the country. Not to take anything away from the kid I seen him play and he definitely can bring it.
Oh yeah. Henry gets a ton of yards, but he carries it 40 times a game. I don’t think there’s any duo in college better than Mixon and Perine. Really you could call it a trio because BM runs a lot too.
Especially when we have the run/pass option game flowing it almost looks like a triple option on any snap. That is why we have been so dominant is our ability to put stress on D is unlike any team in the country.
I think it took a little while for us to figure that out. LR was throwing the ball 50 times a game when he was at ECU. I think that he tried to fit that square peg when he was here early. Easy to understand when you have a spread QB like BM. As soon as he figured out how to fuse our talent at RB with his spread concepts we became pretty damn unstoppable. It’s our running game that’s taken over.
Finding a scheme to fit his blockers, zone and pulling plays and just allowing the line to
Jell into a cohesive interlocking unit.
It’s sort of lucky that we were able to hang on early before the offense really came together. If we lost to Tenn, we’d probably be on the outside looking in.
That win is the epitome of fortitude this team showed it’s a win that proved we can never be counted out or the game Is lost and we found out we have a qb that will never quit. Getting Samia into the starting lineup might be the biggest thing overall allowing us to shore up a “weak” link.
That’s really when I thought, “Hey, this year might be pretty good,”. I won’t lie and say that I thought we’d be this good, this quick though.
One of the least expected success stories I have witnessed under stoops.
Think about where OU was at this time last year. They had just gone through a season without a single home win. People were calling for blood on the coaching staff. There was serious gnashing of teeth. Even though you can’t understate the effect that BM has had on this team, a huge amount of credit has to go to Stoops for making the changes he needed to. Firing Heupel had to be hard for him personally. Moving Mike to the box was just brilliant though. He’s been way better up there.
It’s the making of a perfect storm and we just caught lighting in a bottle but this team really woke up in Knoxville and found out what it takes to dig deep inside instilling confidence and swag that can only be compared to the fortitude of battle hardened soldiers.
That would have been 2000, for me. I knew we had talent, just wasn’t sure how the O-line was going to play. They have grown up in front of our eyes this year.
His biggest strength is his patience. He’s really technically good. Always sets up his blocks. Really quick in the hole. Then when he’s in the open field his stop watch talent is pretty damn impressive too.
He just finds pay dirt! His biggest assets is his versatility while possessing the ability to do anything he is asked slot or outside he can play big or small, catching every ball thrown his direction.
Curious how MSU loss wasn’t as bad as ours? Same record between the 2 teams with one having significantly harder schedule.
While MSU lost by one point to a team going 5-7 and our loss was by six more to a 5-7 team, they lost in early November and we in early October. Those later losses are seen as worse when it comes to ranking. Except perhaps when your team is OU, then your NCAA-challenging team gets a bigger bendover. Just the disrespect we get as usual.
I’d love for us to play in Dallas, but give us the underdog role, if you must, and just keep stoking the fire!
They’ve had that chip on their shoulder all year. We’ll find out who we play next soon enough. I just hope they don’t lose their edge over these next few weeks. A couple of our guys are going to be on the banquet circuit. More than one player has lost their edge because of that.
This team doesn’t have the number of banquet invites most championship caliber teams they are none for, but what further illustrates your point is the group of solid skill set guys that’s down there due time and plays with as big as a chip on there shoulder as any team that has wore the sooner jersey.
I think a low ranking will be nice motivation. I do worry about that, but I do think Baker & Striker bring that energy & swag we’ve missed for so long, and I don’t see it fading
Heuple and Marshall comes to mind.
Yes…would love a Marshall/Weinke moment!
We all know Striker and how he’s operates all but guarantees a classic moment for sure.
We will most likely get Bama who will prolly be favored as well so bingo. Now let’s start working on that run d and see who is the best at tackling a 6 3 245 rb.
LOAD THE BOX. Make their QB beat us. Another game with 40+ carries. They have one option…Henry
We have a lot of time between now in then but I can only hope we tinker with some guys at certain spots or schematically as well.
Why would we “tinker” with anything? Humming along nicely.
We will have to prepare and adjust accordingly to stop a physical offence we haven’t faced since Texas. Not saying make whole sale changes, just little adjustments here or there in order to be ready to meet this attack head on and still be fresh late in ths fourth quarter.
The only thing we should “tinker” with should be special teams. Kickoff returns and punt returns are a glaring weakness. Our front 4 will be fresh in the 4th quarter because we have quality subs and Bama doesn’t tempo much. Other than that just continue to improve up front on offense and get healthy. This time is great practice time for the young guys.
He won’t get that many carries, because we’ll actually score some points, or at least move the chains consistently. If Alabama has to play from behind, I don’t think they’ll have the patience to rely on Henry. He absolutely gashed us the last time we played them, but our DL is better than it was then, and their QB is worse. No team with a decent passing attack relies on a RB to carry 40 times a game. If we can come out and get a few quick scores, then I don’t think that Alabama can play from behind.
Best way to take the rb out of the game is to score and keep the your petal on the gas rendering the run game useless.
Totally, which is what we did last time. They were playing from behind and had to pass, thus Striker camping out in the backfield. And they don’t have near the talent they had then at QB & WR
Even though he exposed him but Bama’s left tackle was going to be a high 1st round guy. I don’t think they are near as talented up front as well.
LOL, was going to be. Striker probably cost him about $10M.
haha! Truth!
Bama only had 129 yds rushing against us last time. Yes, Henry had 100 of that on 8 carries, 43 on the td run. But holding them to 129 reflects they were forced to throw more than they like because our offense was rolling. This offense is exponentially better than that one. I like this matchup.
You and 95% of sooner nation!
The analysts predict we will drop to 4. Which I want to play Bama and Clemson, but the lack of respect is ridiculous. Sure the underdog role motivates our boys but come on!!!!! This crap is so political it’s not even funny.
I hope not. I want to go to the game in Dallas. How does a one loss team jump a one loss team?
Through the eye test of individuals with an agenda.
It’s not about respect it’s about money.
Which analysts? I’ve heard several that think Alabama moves to 1 and OU to 2. Supposedly, our win last week hasnt even been factored in yet…
I’m looking on ESPN. Most if them are thinking we will drop to 4
Oh, okay.. Yea these were just guys at half of Clemson game last night…
Herbie will be on at 9 with college football Sunday.
The only words that really matter come at 11.
Herbie had us at 3
I had to turn those clowns off and went to a replay of a high school playoff game.
Just waiting for the only words that matter at 11. 1 through 4 are easy, the rankings below that might take some time.
Who cares if OU drops to 4? Still gotta play the same teams and win the same number of games…
Maybe if you were going to watch them play you would care about the destination.
I’d rather go to Miami than Dallas.
we haven’t had a lot of luck in dallas lately.
Curious why our loss is considered worse than MSU. Neb has same record as ut with weaker schedule. The real comparison should only be resume and eye test. The losses shouldn’t be compared.
Their schedule and OU’s schedule are nearly identical with the exception that OU scored more points.
So then it moves to eye test.
Who freaking cares? OU is in the playoffs!!!
I agree! So tell tfb to drop the thread!
Edit, but I would like to see us play in a venue that brings more fans.
I say drop OU to #4. That level of disrespect, plus having the first game against Clemson will make sure our guys stay focused and come out flying when the playoff finally gets here.
Checking out the thread after missing a full Saturday of football. Thanks to all for providing your insight and observations. Boomer! And a Happy Sunday! to all you faniacs. To those attending worship, enjoy your church families. Amen, erchou kurie iesou.
Paraschou Kyrie Eleison?
He did and he will again.
I tell you this much, NC got jobbed. Not that they would have scored that final td anyway, but it was looking certainly possible. Phantom offsides on that onside kick BS. ACC must not have wanted Clemson to lose, hence, losing the ACC playoff spot. Two weeks in a row now Clemson has had big lead and almost let it slip away….Must be that awesome Venebles prevent..
If they don’t make the playoffs that would be a huge loss in revenue for the conference. Js
I’m normally in agreement that penalty flags should not be reviewable (save for targeting), but I’m starting to think that they should allow replay for penalties with 2 min or less in the game. Having close games decided by penalty at the end is crap, unless its gets upheld through replay.
There is no way that call was intentionally made like you are suggesting.
You think the call should have been made? I always thought refs were more or less taught to “keep the flag in their pants” at the end of games if the call is extremely close, so as not to have inadvertent penalties play any outcome in the game. There is no way this was an “obvious” offsides call. In fact, it was a phantom one. Done on purpose, thats probably an exaggeration, but, in a case like this, sometimes its pertinent to “follow the money.” ACC had waaay too much to lose if Clemson lost.
you are assuming everyone is honest when it comes to big payouts. remember, this is 2015 and its all about the money.
I am a big believer in conspiracy theory – or at least that with a lot of $ on the line that conferences surely want a certain outcome – and refs are human and have their own beliefs and motivations at times and can be influenced subconsciously by these factors.
Jason Sehorn just used the nonexistent word “irregardless.” LMAO!
No. Tell me he didn’t.
That USC degree speaks for itself, no?
Prestige is overrated.
That USC degree speaks for itself, no?
He’s a joke. Kevin Carter believes that if he screams at the camera, what he says will come true.
Herbie said last night he was going to be on this morning. I’m about ready to change channels with the cast of characters they just said were coming on.
He’s a joke. Kevin Carter believes that if he screams at the camera, what he says will come true.
Would you be in favor of the UNC coach forfeiting the game unless the refs made the call right to make a statement about bad calls?
Too late to forfeit now.
Last night
He didn’t know until well after the game when he got to look at the play that it was a bad call.
No, that would be ridiculous. Missed calls happen in every sport, in every game. Yes that was a big one, but it’s simply a part of the game. I argued with myself last night on if that should be a play that the coaches can have reviewed, and while I wanted to say yes, it’s a slippery slope when you start having judgement calls reviewed, even if it’s that clear cut.
Whats ridiculous is that with the technology that we have today, we still get these things wrong. I believe that someone needs to send an emphatic statement that this is unacceptable and it won’t be tolerated.
Will “F-Bomb” Muschamp to Sou’Cackalacky.
I saw that. Rich Rod turned them down last night..
IMHO SC just signed a contract that at the very top states “We will be irrelevant for the next few years”
If I had a choice I would rather Bama and MSU beat up on each other and let us play Clemson first. Then we take on the physical team that has been worn and torn in Champ game.
Clemson is plenty physical. I’ve watched 3 of their games this season, and they’re not an easy bunch. Fast, aggressive, and physical at the point of attack. And that’s their defense.
Giving OU a month to prep and focus on Clemson would probably bet the best way to beat Clemson though.
Not sure what you are watching, but they (Clemson) are the more finesse offense than either Bama or MSU. Head scratcher…?
That bama read option play is tough…oh…wait…
Anybody have a link to the conference rankings as of today?
I still think the teams will be:
1. Clemson
2. Bama
3. OU
4. MSU
I could see them swapping Clemson and Bama IF the SEC is the #1 or possibly #2 rated conference, but last I heard it was 3rd or 4th. Would like to see how the conferences are rated though, b/c that might dictate more movement within the top 4. I think the Big 12 was #2 last I heard, and OU is probably #1 or #2 on the eye test, so I really can’t see us falling to 4th. Guess we’ll know in an hour.
By the way, in that scenario, OU will be playing in Dallas.
It’s official: Joey Galloway is a moron of epic proportions.
I’m not watching right now, please enlighten us
It’s a question of integrity…does the Committee have the integrity to rank teams strictly based upon their assessment of best to worst, without regard for matchups or venues?
I’ve espoused that they do not.
Certainly, it can be argued that there was not enough shown by the playoff teams yesterday to warrant a reordering of the prior week’s rankings. Having said that, (I believe) the Committee has the absolute freedom to justify any move they wish to make using any argument they wish to create. I expect them to create an argument for a reorder.
We will see, within an hour, how the Committee answers the question above.
Like most Sooner fans, I’d like to see them in Dallas. I don’t expect it.
So does anyone think, in any way…would the committee actually leave us out of the Top 4?
I don’t.
Glad you were right. I actually braced for all hell.
All hell would break loose.
There is a huge bias in the media against us. I don’t know if it is strong enough bias to sway the committee, but it is there none the less. I hope not.
No chance.
We’ll never know if they do that though, b/c “who is better” is still a person by person thing.
True. But what we do know is who they think is better week by week and how that changes based upon results.
Consistency there, is our only real indication of integrity.
Guys, I know this is all just for discussion, and no one knows what bias the committee may use, but all 4 teams warrant being in the playoffs, that is unless for unknown reasons they leave us out. Every matchup will present a problem for both teams. Alabama, strong run game and good defense, Clemson, good offense and pretty good defense, MS tough defense and tough offense, OU, balanced offense and adaquate defense. Look forward to the playoffs.
I’m kinda confused, (nothing new) the committee is going to announce 12:30 pm ET something, and 3:00 pm et something else. Is the 1st show the playoff 4 teams and the 3:00 show, all the other pairings for the bowls.
Yeah, I thinks it’s the remaining top 25 rankings coming out later.
Yeah, I thinks it’s the remaining top 25 rankings coming out later.
I knew it! I knew they would drop us to ensure BIG and Sec would have a player in the NC
I just became a big Michigan State fan ! I hope they screw ESPN’s plans up . BEAT BAMA !!!!
