i will second that
TEXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTT!!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

like you never have before!

someone needs to find a different retarded monkey to coach the o-line

the one we have now is broken

that thankfully concludes the worst offensive first half i have seen

at least since lynn amedee.

Go Texas! Beat OU!

From your friends at RockMNation.

Just when thought this would only be a 2 drink game...

Working on the 3rd. beer..

Hey, Beergut has a chance of being exactly right!
We wasted 2 TD's

Colt’s fumble and Earl and Lil Achos inability to fall on a fumble in the end zone

Yeah, should of been ahead given how bad we played..
Ahhhhh....

I feel much better being in the forum with the screaming lady………..

This picture is strangely reassuring
I feel the same

Giles is earning his pay. MacWhorter…well, he needs to work a little harder.

GD saving some stuff the 2nd half?
LOL

We can only be so optimistic.

another box of donuts, maybe
If the donuts help him find something that works Iam all for it..
Everyone, this is important.

A change of shirts is called for. If you do not have a backup shirt, please trade shirts with the person next to you.

Already changed...

Hats too

Me too.
All clothing discarded...
too much information
Nothing but bongo drums between me and the TV
and

Incense….yeah

burnt orange shirt is getting benched

enter the black shirt. defense will win this game for us. I’m turning my hat inside out too.

What if we're only with our GF?

Do we have to switch?

only your undies
Damn!

But it’s that’s what it takes to keep NC hopes alive…

Wife looking at me funny

changed.

Going w/ the classic Donl't Mess w/ Texas...always works
How do we return everyone on our OL

and they seem to regress with more training and experience under their belts?

it's either complacency or coaching

Dockery’s gone.

LOL.

Nice sarcasm

Muschamp is probably cussing out GD

“You said you would get me TDs if I can hold ’em! Where the f#*& are the TOUCHDOWNS?!?

Again, why the assumption that it’s GD?

From what I’ve read, Mack wants conservative, so he tells GD to draw up conservative.

I understand conservative

but 3 points? Did Mack really ask for 3 points in the 1st half?

not in so many words, but yes

That’s a bit odd to ask. I’m sure he doesn’t specify a score, but rather an approach.

gd only calls the plays, he can't be out there blocking

mcwhorter on the other hand probably has a boot up a few linemen’s asses right now

As he should. The OL is at least 80% of the problem right now.

I hope they think that's better than G.McCoy's willie
I'm dying on the inside

This is an abortion of a football game on the offensive side of the ball.

Screen

PLease, please run more screens, slow them down!

Agreed...And not to Chiles...
just now getting to watch

I’m assuming I haven’t missed much

It would be better for your health if you don't watch it...
thanks for concern

but I have to

You must like torture
Lets believe

YES WE CAN!

pull out the win, i mean
I am a Mexi-can

yes we can

I can't believe it's only halftime. My nerves are frayed.
Drank more beer in one half then I planned for the day.
I have to run 19 miles tomorrow

and promised myself only 3 beers. That’s ancient history.

Same here...These first halfs don't help us cut down on the drinking at all.
Ok good first half for the defense

All we want now is for things to go our way and for Colt to start the second half the way he has in the past 5 games

We get the ball first...

If we can stop getting the penalties and some protection we should be able to move the ball forward..

WWBSD?

what would boise state do? use their pursuit against them!

Funny..

Can’t argue with their record over the past years..

Another ray of sunshine

Colorado had a bigger halftime lead over us than OU.

Is there anyway we can clone coach boom

teach the new guy offense, and then they both can duke it out once mack retires?

i just hope the way this game is goin

colt can actually finish the game out. although gilbert vs jones would be an interesting twist.

This game reminds me of the '01 and '04 RRS
both of which we lost

Screw the Heisman.

Colt, seriously, just put together some drives to show what a leader you are, and take your team to victory. You’re going to have some pressure on you when you drop back, and even when you’re taking it out of the gun, but make your reads quickly and accurately, and you’ll put the defense on its heels.

both defenses are playing awesome football right now. but we have potential playmakers at QB and WR that should be able to do enough to win the game. they don’t.

so…make it happen GD.

Gotta give OU credit...

If I was playing us, I would do the same thing. Take away Shipley, blow up the oline to get pressure on Colt and take your chances..

Bring back Chris Simms.... Right Guys?
We would be down 30-3 right now if we had Simms..
Well, if those two bad throws were caught, it would be the same now
As usual the key is to be aggressive on offense

The key to the second half is going to be whether UT can get quality snaps from the depth. OUsucks is a little shallow on the chart right now, and wearing them would go a long way.

The good news

from the second quarter is that we actually had their defense on the field. Let’s go conditioning!

Anyone else think

that Tre Newton would help in protection? I understand that the o-line looks horrible, but Tre Newton is our best blocking back and could help out on passing downs.

he's probably still hurt

maybe cody can throw himself someone like a bowling ball

I don't think that is the problem...

The running back can only pick up one guy..Not two or more..

I agree

just thought I would throw that out there

I'm getting

tired of seeing the screaming lady at half time. That was an exciting first half. Our D is playing well. QB draw!

That's some shirt Brent has on
Hey guys

Our coaches do a better job of adjusting at halftime than Stoops’ staff

YES

Thank you for bringing back the zone read.

Nice run

by fozzy

damn I thought fozzy was gone
Good start for the offense..
Quick tempo

this is what we need.

followed by a 1-yard hitch pass

genius!

2nd half offense!
Why does Chiles run into the field

instead of the boundary?

Vondrell is slower than molasses

why put vondrell in when fozzy is hitting the hole faster?

Why do they refuse to throw the ball down the field?
No time to throw
Why o why

do we go no back in what has been obvious blitz downs?

OMFG ADAM ULATOSKI
I swear to god

we could pick five random guys out of the stands and have a better offensive line

Receivers not helping out

Gotta make some tough catches

Good start...

Got conservative once we got in FG range though..

FG for lawrence 6-6
Take the points

Throw GD from the damn booth

More repetition of the GD-blame-game.

Seriously?

Seriously??? Still? I will never understand GD apologists.

So this is how much we miss Quan

I think it’s how much we miss Collins. I think he’d be a great candidate to draw attention this game.

Agree.

Collins being out hurts

quan didn’t completely whiff on that block. ulatoski did. and then slid next to the LG. the two looked at each other, realized neither had blocked anyone, said “oh fuck,” and went to pick colt up off the turf. pathetic.

What about Irby

or a pass catching TE?

Tie game.

Fozzy makes a couple of good outside runs, and then it’s time to give BON material for the next installment of “Anatomy of Stagnation.”

Mack,

What happened to staying with the hot hand?

That was to trick Stoops
Ahh

Mack always one step ahead

Hunter

Offensive MVP and it is not even close. How many college kickers can easily hit 2 40+ yard FGs.

O-line

I though the O-line was mostly the same this year. Why has it regressed so much?

seriously, i thought they’ve all played together with each other. isnt an offseason and several games enough to get some chemistry?

amen. hunter lawrence and tucker are doing a great job.

Perspective

Ohio State 7 Purdue 23

they gain good yardage speeding the tempo and

running Whitaker
why the fuck change back to Mcgee and slow counts?

this stupidity is going to give me a stroke

That OUsucks FG off the goalpost looking huge right now
Why does it feel like we're still losing?
every game we've played this season has felt like that, except UTEP
Lets hit this QB and see how he likes it
Good use of timeouts, bob
Mistake by Stoops
Someone has to step up!!!
if the offense wasn't so terrible, we could handle this easy
cut by Eldridge

Dirty blocking again.

They tried to take out AW’s knee sideways on the second snap of the game, and now the Eldridege block.

They’re like the effing Denver Broncos.

was that a dirty block?
no

he was trying to cut straight, and LH jumped sideways

Howell out too, so we are really short on DTs
Whitaker is 9 carries and 49 yards

the passing game isn’t gaining 5.4 yards per play

he will be ok

Let’s go D

Good

walking off the field, not hobbling.

Ok guys,

you have to keep me sane this half.

Yes...Punt!

The game is turning our way!

I am not that optimistic

yet

nice stop

by the D. No we need a good drive and points.

We are pathetically predictable...

…the Mythical Fozzy Creature starts the 2nd half and tears it up and down the field, so we pull him out and put in a fucking injured McGee who proceeds to run right into the back of the pile.

Please

no McGee on this next drive.

Now we need a TD to really put the pressure on OUsucks.
Can anyone tell me if we have the long pass plays open?
Maybe but Colt hasn't had the time to let it develop.
yeah. no time to get it set up
we don't

because no receiver has run a route more than 12 yards past the line of scrimmage

I would say

The one long pass play attempted Shipley was interfered with. Besides that, Colt doesnt have enough time to throw deep.

Very good drive, including on the all-important 3rd down that’s been killing UT today.

Now, can the offense do the same?

Ok. whatever your saving GD...Now is the time!
Where's the quick slant?
Its been dropped a few times
in last year's playbook
being jumped by the OU players
What about Buckner? I hoped for big things.
What happened

to the down the middle plays from the flex? The short outs from the flex don’t hellp.

Waiting for a deep pass off that misdirection...
Almost,

broke that one.

really ned to get some yards on this drive

field po

Goodwin siting
God bless Goodwin.

Keep him in the game

Begining to look like last year
OL giving him some time
wow

I bet that’s CJ’s longest run of the season

yeah normally the goal line makes the tackle

Too late. He had a touchdown run longer than that earlier in the season.

CJ!

This is looking good. Keep up the pressure on their d.

If thats Monroe thats a TD
I'll take that
indeed

a few yards from CJ is better than no yards from anyone

LOVE how Cody dropped the shoulder and punished the safety
We are moving the ball now
Got his bell rung

starting to find a rhythm

At the risk of being blasphemous

Does CJ run like a slightly slower version of Earl Campbell?

CJ doesn't know what to do with all that space in front of him.
TD here... break'em now
Am I wrong...

Or did the OL block man on that play?

Ahh damn wildhorn
Nooooooooo

Wildhorn

knew that was coming
Wildhorn is garbage!
They need to be ok with Chiles throwing the ball for it to be effective
Does our WR screen ever work

for more than 2 yards?

We have

stopped our own momentum/.

anothder wasted play
And the

bubble screen, someone woke Greg Davis up.

lucky interference
PI motherfkkkkkk*****RRR!!!!!
nice penalty on ou
thank you refs
2 plays thrown for over 15 yards

and two pass int’s

Flags flying today
Colt getting time
Finally had some time to throw

Refs bailed out the Texas offense.

Wow - throw the ball down the field, put pressure on the D and good things happen

Shocker.

Good call

Didn’t gt his head around!!!!

You don't have to in college.

Unless they’ve changed that rule.

Okay Greg run a series of misdirections and we're in

do NOT get clever.

Look at that! The OL actually developed a great pocket, and Colt actually put the ball where it would’ve been a nice catch, had it not been for the DPI!

Bailed out with that call
Looked like he had arm held

But wife was distracting me

That's what i'm talking about

they haven’t been able to stop that all game.

OL beginning to dominate
2008 Repeat hopefully
Someone

find the endzone please. Good run Fozzy.

keeping their D on the field
The mytical fozzy is comming alive...Great timming..
Can they see that the quick plays are working?
Ship's hands or Quan's

Who would you take

Quan's hands, but

Shipley is the better all-around player

For once

we can just complain about the Redzone offense, instead of the offense

My only frustration with GD is that he cannot make these obvious adjustments on the fly.

If a message board full of fans can see it, why can’t the guy making 500K a year?

Yes...Goodwin is a stud..
Touchdown

Marquisssssss

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait. A touchdown?

What’s that?

HELL EFFFIN YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
HELL EFFFIN YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
exhale for once
wow

way to break that tackle, Goodwin

+1 to you

Whoever

asked for the slants, please ask for more points…

Let me see

Can we score some more touchdowns?

Showed some nice srenght from Goodwin
He kept moving

and the DB had a poor grasp.

Hard to find someone more athletic than him...
WOOOOOHOOOOOO!

SUCK IT LAND THIEVES!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barring turnovers, this game feels like it's over
Remember,

we still have to kick off.

GIVE 'EM HELL! GIVE 'EM HELL!
MAKE EM EAT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
Now,

don’t let the defense ease up one bit, please.

Hre we go... it's gonna break loose now
a little breathing room
That's what I'm talking about boys!

see? told ya 6-3 at halftime was the perfect score.

GG + Goodwin + DJ for 3 more years = excitement
hey don't forget to add desean hales in there
cue the OU fans claiming the

refs gave Texas that TD with the PI call

He held his arm down...

That was obvious PI….

They got at least 2

in the first half on 3rd downs.

Don't give up a KO TD

Turns out the jewel of the 2009 class, to this point, is a guy who wasn’t even offered a football scholarship. Bravo, Goodwin.

You gotta tip the hat...

to Greg Davis for actually adjusting too.

I just don't understand why it took so long.
see, his genius is beyond us mortal horns
he was too busy updating his facebook status with the next play call
Giving credit to GD is against BON terms of service
yes, great job calling more plays to keep the defense from teeing off every play

but we should really be patting the oline on the back for finally showing up.

Lets

also give credit to the car-jacker for returning our car the next day

someone

just needs to let him know it’s not illegal to adjust before half time.

Lets stay grounded

and fear this kick return

Welcome to RRS Marquis.
26-10 purdue over Ohio state
That is a beautiful score
I seriously think Texas loves drama in big games

Michigan, Ohio State twice, last year’s RRS, USC all won in 4th qtr.

They

love trying to give me a heart attack.

LETS F'n bury these cockroaches!!!
I love earl thomas
Earl Thomas is super human!!!
Houston is back.
Great Adjustments BY GD

If only he could make these during the first half, most complaints would disapear.

put these bastards away!
BOMARd if he doesn't slide
holding and he loses his head!
Aaron Williams almost took Landry's head off there..
hold

hip hip hooray

I don't

know if I’d accept that penalty

I was right.
Well, it was a 18-yard play on 2nd down
we played

soft b/c of 2nd 17. 3rd and 10 we wouldn’t have.

If you don't take that penalty

it 3rd and 10

Everytime we play that soft coverage they convert.
someone called for more quick slants?
OU players still dropping like flies

weak asses.

soft and squish just like their coach
please don't give them anything, D!
No chance Earl stays 4 years

He is too awesome.

If you're an NFL team why would you draft Bradford?

With that shoulder? I wouldn’t bite.

ET interception time.....
He heard Earl's footsteps
here we go...

Brandon Caleb: so good, he covers himself.

gj, defense

way to hand them a freebie

big drop

and now a roughing the passer

that was just stupid
D

is relaxing now that offense finally did something.
Chew them out Coach Boom.

And

here’s where the defense falls apart

yep

why does it always work that way

horrible penalty on randall. stupid mistake.
I knew

the D would relax. DAmmit

Tackling is such an issue for this team
this game blows
Bad tackling

could end up killing us.

Tackling is killing us..
It's a replay of the Tech game
way to blow a simple play

another missed tackle

game on

well that sucks

Great coaching, Muschamp
Oh would you just stop acting like a baby?

God.

Is someone's sarcasm meter not working?

Since most people on the board blame GD every single time the offense doesn’t gain 20 yards per play

yeah like i can keep track with all you chicken littles

sheesh.

Again, is someone's sarcasm meter not working?

My blaming Muschamp was sarcastic.

I can't remember a team that has shown more complacency in every aspect of the game
Defense just wasted

the only score our offense was going to give it

Thanks Debbie Downer

Have a little faith, buddy

Big return baby

cmon

People you wouldn't think woud be missing tackles...

ET, Aaron Williams..

So when the defense blows a play, it’s on the players, and when the offense blows a play, it’s on Davis?

Follow-up: where’s the criticism of Aaron Williams’ tackling? If that had been Blake Gideon, it would’ve been a huge tide against him here.

I didn't see Gideon

get there before he got to the endzone.

He's always a step behind...but Iam sure he was comming..
So when the defense blows a play, it’s on the players, and when the offense blows a play, it’s on Davis?

+10

We are in a dog fight now..
Who would think that we could be beat almost excluivey by screen passes

Where’s the pushout call on that non-catch?

perfectly legal

to push out in college.

I know it’s legal, but isn’t it supposed to be counted as a catch?

no

there is no force-out rule in college

gotta move it here
Terrible

Spot on the Shipley play.

that is a horrible spot

hit the ground half yard shy of line…

FRICK! Cody needs the ball.

Fake it.

more terrible blocking

who would have ever seen that coming?

I'm outta here

I’ll be back when you “fly by night” whiners leave.

Have you seen anything that isn't worthy of whining? :)
What's worse than whiners

is blind positivists in the face of overwhelming evidence that they’re wrong

There's only one word for this...

F***

That's

the offense we know and hate.

but not as much as we hate OUsucks
We Are Texas!

It is still ours for the taking.

Holding there..
time for landry to throw a 25-yard pass

we’re not beating florida in january if we can’t convert third and short by running straight ahead

Let's get there first
Now

don’t play soft on 1st and 20.

Who’s side is Peyton on?

both QBs i guess

they had sleepovers at camp

Texas

Because he is a Christion and hates evil

Special Team or D Play Needed to Win

Don’t think the O is going to do it for us today.

2nd and 20...

Let’s make it 4th and 20

Where's Matt MC?
that's how you tackle
Good

tackle on that short pass. See, I don’t only whine.

thought so

saw the DLINE all go down

they all went down again just now

and landry was underneath them all

Eddie Jones!
Defense is back baby
FUCK YOU LANDRY!!!!
Sergio and Eddie

meet at Jones

party at the quarterback!

Let’s block the kick….

Way

to go Defense.

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

isn’t the fair catch halo like 3 yards?

they got rid of the halo rule years ago
Field position battle

Great job defense

Gotta score here.
Good field position
does OU always take those splits in punt protection?
Good

quarterback draw play.

the WR's just stand around.
it was a called draw

they only need token blocks on the edge

Great Run Colter
be careful

qb sneak

Another bad spot, this time on McCoy’s run.

At least they punched it through for the 1st down.

Let

Fozzy get outside again like on the first play of the second half.

bs spot on colt's run
woo!

new shirt working….

I did the same!
great run by CJ
Cody is such a beast
great push by cody

did they give him the longer spot?

Cody is going to be serving them Cockmeat sandwhiches after game
Nice Change of Pace With Cody for GD
The yellow line was off by almost a full yard on that last run
yup nice run by the big fella
We ARE gonna win this game
keep running the ball like we are and we will.
TD here guys..come on..
Where did this run game come from??

Defense is resting ………….thinking about how they will score

Must of been GD plan...

To make the run game looks so bad before the OU game..

Our Defense doesn't rest

They wait.

The swine flu gets a Muschamp shot every year.

Cody has not played much this year
May Try A Man Up Statement of Cody 3 Times Here
Good to see someone fired up and wanting to run over someone!
looks like purdue will hang on and beat OUS
Longest commercials ever
They Know We Will Wait No Matter What
Gotta Give OU Credit

If you told me Bradford would be out I would have guessed an absolute blowout.

Exactly

We tend to forget sometimes that the other 11 players have something to do with how the game goes.

Even without the QB rushing yards

OU is still at -1 yds in 16 attempts.

While we are at break...

Purdue has an 8 point lead on osu with 2:30 left.

Okay, I’ve killed off my Shiner Bock supply. Time for a Shiner Hefeweizen or a Shiner 100. One of those ought to change the tone of this game, and get

…get the offense going.

Shiner 100 quenches my thirst everytime
you are in for a long day
We need

to convince our offense that there is no first half, we now play 2 second halves in football.

Matrix there is no spoon style?

I’m sure the D can beat the 1st half outta their memories…

They

keep creating our false starts and the refs keep letting them.

bleah

flinch on the lb charge

how many is that now?
Stop the penalties please..
wow, Goodwin is something else
Goodwin

Amazing catch!

goodwin become a RRS legend
Welcome to the RRS

Mr. Goodwin

You see that hole for Cody???
Amazing adjustment in the air.
Ladies and gentlemen

We have found our next playmaker

about damned time
Wow

great catch, but they could’ve called a hold on that one.

Someone please call a quick snap before they can review plays like that.

I'm in love with Goodwin...

Nice to have a WR finally!!! But seriously, are they going to review EVERY play?

Woooooooooooow

is a star being born?

the good thing

on the field it was ruled a catch

And he's so young ^.^
so...

let me get this straight…. Everything that is possible for Texas to be reviewed gets reviewed?

That is so a catch
Goodwin's arms are bigger round than his head.

tiny head.

Again…best 2009 recruit = Marquise Goodwin, not Garrrett Gilbert.

but we haven't seen gilbert play

Although word on the street is that he’s “Simms-like.” cringe Let’s not revisit THOSE days

He HAS played.

Each of these guys has had the guys ahead of them perform like crap many times this season, and Goodwin, not Gilbert, is the one who has been moved up. Gilbert’s not nearly ready to take the reins. Goodwin is. I think Gilbert will be a great player at some point, but he’s not nearly as college-ready at this point.

But not a lot

And not when it wasn’t a blow out.

Left

hand was definitely under the end of the football.

I vote for more Goodwin

make it happen!

I vote for less terrible run blocking

that won’t happen

big 3rd down

cmon colt

Why Did Cody Disappear?
because he was doing too well
Tell the band...

We need more cow bell

fake FG?
Have to the way the defense is capable of playing..
Kirkendoll

needs to dive for the first, he hesitated after catching.

yes he did. why?!?!?
yep....so bitter about that effort
CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t feel comfortable with just a FG!!

hopefully, neither do the offense or defense

and do something about it

FG again

we need TD’s…

A Stop and a Score
Yep...if the score is a TD than that's the ball game..
Was that thrown behind Kirk

Or was the coverage right on him?

Purdue beats ohio state
I can't hate on them today...

Apparently Ohio State nation is in our camp. I had a random theOSU fan tell me “good luck today. Beat OU”

ohio state is one of the few schools I refuse to cheer for under any circumstances

I don’t see why? I think they’re at least a respectable fanbase and while not altogether clean, they’re much less dirty than most.

Agree - Respect Gained in 3 Games
well, our D has a chance to win it for us. Let's start with a good cover on this kick
Let's let the D rest...let's go for a TD on the return!

I believe in the Ship

Umm ou is returning the kick
...

I meant the next one? Stressful game = brain fried

Purdue 26 OSU 18 Final
Hope the D steps up like they have all day so far
Marquis Question

Any chance he leaves football ealry to focus on track?

During an olympic year I bet he does..
I hope not

There’s no professional potential in track = no money

Not sure about that.

Usain Bolt and Justin Wariner say hi.

are the next summer olympics are just before or just after his senior year?

After i think

then do we have a proboem? the ncaa track season doesn’t really conflict with the football season does it?

They are 2012

So just before

One more

TD and we can win by 10 again (this year that should be enough)

LOL

We should have a referendum election to vote NO on OU math…

I feel more comfortable with the D winning the game.
D needs to score a TD
OSU lost to Purdue
They'll

never expect, the onside kick (JUST KIDDING).

Put the season on the defense's shoulders..
We still cannot stop that damn WR screen
Terrible tackling again..

Not going to mention any names anymore…

sAME

exact play that scored the TD, and bad tackling again.

I want the Earl Thomas interception.....
alright, D

quit fucking around!

How Does That Play Work So Well?

I am frustrated

If we win by a marginal difference

Prepare yourselves for the “If Sam Bradford played the whole game…” not just by OU, but the nation

who cares?

scoreboard

I could care less

A win is a win. Just because NCAA has BS system instead of a playoff – it won’t taint an OU win for me.

Yep

And then add us get bumped by Va Tech this week because we did not blow OU out of the water.

Which is the #1 reason...

that I hate that he’s out of the game. I don’t honestly think the game would be much different with him in because Landry is actually doing a good job. Look at the scoreboard…

we read it that time
Holding
just a little bit, yeah

lol

POW!

now that’s an open field tackle

Where's muck? getting some rest?
^.^ That was so blatant even big 12 refs have to call it
Finally

a good tackle on that play, though he almost let him stay up.

Thank you Keenan
missed that holding call
another fucking middle screen

it’s like we’re making it easy for them

Like?

The horrible offense in the first half and we cannot catch a break.

4th down

stay alert.

Why did we bring the house

on that 3rd and forever?

because someone on our staff has money on the game?
unbelievable
Short!!!

Yellow line is off..

It's been significantly off all game
OMG

How many heart attacks can I have

i've already had at least three
They

gave him a good spot, and it’s still close. he didn’t get as much as they gave him.

Generous spot. Horrible spot.

bad spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! crap.
Muschamp for president

The D can fill out his cabinet.

Way

to go D, now punch it in the endzone offense.

visons of lendale coming up short
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yellow line was WAAYY off
put it away!!!
good run, holding, doesn't matter
Poor Bradford. Man that sucks to be rushed back from injury.
Penalties and missed tackles are keeping this game close..
not a good time for this flag!!!!! come on!!!!
Penalties

Both teams over 100 yards and counting.

yep, pretty clear
We pulled another chop block?
Damn

way to save Stoops from his own stupidity by giving him back 15 yards.

Goodwin

Brent’s new favorite player?

Should be ours also...

Only person that has done anything at WR for us today..

In fairness to Shipley, he’s been quintuple-covered all day.

Which should have been anticpated by GD

and accounted for with the rest of the offense. Did they seriously think OU wasn’t going to be laying all over Shipley?

just can't get it all together at the same time
2nd and 25

So let’s drop back 10 yards and gain 2…that’ll move the chains…

Not feeling good about this quarter
Chris Hall phucks us on that drive..
I am hating these short passes

They aren’t getting us anywhere.

good god

three man rush, and our guys are still getting blown into the backfield

way to stop the clock.......sigh.
HUGE stop for OU
special teams time
Not happy about that drive

another drive killed by penalties

I feel like I am watching

a Fred Akers coached game.

Yeah,

let’s punt on 3rd down, just in case.

I've been thinking that all day
Good

punt, keep them pinned deep D.

Nice punt

Ok d….we’re begging

a defensive score would be really nice right about now
Let Me Understand

We get the lead with Cody and pinning the OL ears back – and then he disappears.

New Thread

this one i slow.

tucker playing well today, it seems
Why is it that when ou has 3 and 20, I feel nausea...

…and an almost infallible certainty that they’re going to get the first down; but when we face 3 and 20, I feel nausea…and an almost infallible certainty that we’re going to throw a 2-yard pass?

Because Muschamp brings the heat and fire

on 3rd and 10+

i totally feel the same way.....

cause it’s true!!

Fear the 2 yard pass
This team is not over-rated....

just underachieving….and its very close to catching up with them today.

I've been saying that all season
PICK 6! A williams owes us one....
No 6

But I will take it

Penalty killed that one

Not OC

would love a defensive TD here. Acho and Kindle time!
Double Destroyed

BOOM

Right here

Right now D.

Stop here please..
what's the flag?
NIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!

OMG woooooooooo!!!!!!

Cody Time, dammit
Aaron Williams makes up for that missed tackle..

He’s a play and what an athlete..

Whoever called an A Williams pick. Great call!
HUGE

Finally the big play

DECLINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INT, bitches!!!!!
I love tall corners
wow what a hold/tackle on sergio
Shoestring tackle
PUNCH IT IN AND END THIS NOW
what.a.play.
touchdown...touchdown...

Can we leave the D out as the offense? Let’s capitalize and get 7 on this one…

And it was

AW. Making up for the missed tackle on their TD.

what a play by a-will

that’s highlight-reel shit, right there

Now kick…the…beeches.

FINISH THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mortal Kombat style please
no more penalties, no more turnovers, get it in there!
Run, baby, run
Come on..Touchdown here...

Suck the life out of them.

Put a knife in these thieves!!!!
get this! get this! get this!
HORRENDOUS THROW
not the throw... the route
Or did marquis mis-run
someone please kill GD

empty backfield on 3rd and 2? WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT!!?

What

was Mccoy looking at????

EFFING AAAAAA!!!!!

WTF WAS THAT COLT?!?!?

FUCK COLT
Oh good lord, STFU
you STFU.
You're right. "FUCK COLT" is a great thing to type on a Texas board!
for fuck's sake
crap.

McCoy does not read the defenses anymore. sad.

this is the worst offensive squad we've had in a LONG time
WE NEED TWO FUCKING YARDS!

RUN THE FUCKING FOOTBALL

Where was the damn running game

Oh, yeah. It was working.

He threw it RIGHT to OU!!!! There wasn’t an Orange jersey in that throw line

more dumb motherfucking shit

where the fuck is cojo on that play?

I am at a loss to explain that one
I kinda wondered when that was coming
yeah, it's been pretty much inevitable all season
Cmon D...

One more time, please. More cow bell…

it's official

Greg Davis is retarded. And I don’t just mean that as a euphemism for stupid. I mean actually, clinically retarded.

What does Greg Davis have to do with Colt’s INT?

Seriously, some of you need to stop. Mack wants conservative, so Greg gives him conservative.

And the INT was a failure by the players, not the coordinator.

THE PLAY CALL WAS FUCKING STUPID

No, it wasn’t. Not at all. It was a pass play on second and short. There’s nothing stupid about that.

when the running game IS THE ONLY THING THAT’S BEEN WORKING, you don’t call for a fucking empty backfield on third and 2

I agree.

The play call was fine. Actually, I think he had people more open at the top of the screen. Nonetheless, I feel that the play calling was fine as well. The read and throw were not well executed.

The more conservative call would have been to run, and I agree that the run has been doing well. However, Greg Davis is criticized for being conservative, is he not? It was a good wrinke.

We are running well and needed two yards.

Why throw? Worst case running is settle for FG.

Colt’s playing like a second-stringer. I love the kid, but he needs to settle down.

He threw it way, way, behind the receiver there. Not sure who’s fault it was, I guess.

No

He’s playing like a high school kid/true freshman who is in shock

no..go jumbo with cody and at least get two shots at it.
I am having Chris Simms nightmares
That

better be marked short.

i fucking hate GD
i hope they fire his sorry ass after this

Our offense looks like SHIT

Again

more of bad execution than bad play calling for the most part today.

It's both. That pick should have been a running play in the first place
What did he have to do with pick?

Goodwin should have cut the route off…

he emptied the backfield is what he did
Another Gamble for Stooops?
If

I were Stoops I’d kick, odds are Mccoy will throw you a pick six.

two redzone turnovers

and Colt had a hand in both. So huge in a game like this.

Second one was bad - first one - won't pin on him
Stoops will go for this and take is his chances with his defense..
The Whole Offense Needs to be Scrapped

Risk reward ratio way out of balance

C'mon, Herbie already explained

what a gambler Big Game Boob is in these 4th-and-short situations. And then defended him when he didn’t get it last time. Why not go again? What’s to lose? Your best players are out hurt, and you’ve got the ball with a chance for a long, game-killing drive. Go for it, dumbass.

2 loss team...nothing to lose...this is their season...no Bradford...

Easy decision..

i wouldn’t try to kill the game if i’m down by 3…i’d try to get into FG range…fast/slow doesn’t matter

You are right - injuries key to the gamble
this is killing me
Since I called the AW interception. I will call a fumble by Landry on this one.
There's your turnover
Please predict a TD here.
Seriously

Seriously. Seriously. We can’t hold them on 1 yard?

Wow

is anyone even going to look at the QB on an obvious sneak situation?

Not today apparently

OUsucks’ entire chances hinge on a UT mistake on defense.

and ours hinge on a Landry Jones mistake

Not really. They hinge on stopping the OUsucks offense, which doesn’t have to include any mistakes by Jones or any other OUsucks player.

Fortunately they made a mistake anyway.

OU cannot run the ball
Intercepted

Again

Big play Earl!
MY ET interception. Great time for it
ET

OUUUUCCCCCHHHHHH.

EARL!!!

OK GD, let’s RUN out the game. RUN.

I love you Earl
Earl the Pearl Thomas

INT BABY!!!

ET has just phoned home!!
Ok Colt

Don’t fuck it up this time.

seriously? wtfe
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Run the damn ball now
O ye of little faith!!
Is Brewster in for Gideon?
Nope.. Saw both in on that play...
time to kill some clock
kill this clock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bet Stoops Would Like Those TOs back!!!
earl thomas and aaron williams

have made themselves a lot of money today. hello first rd money.

I like

it when you phone home ET, but I’d love it if you’d actually take it to the HOUSE.

I see what you did there
Run it down their damn throat

and for the love of all that is holy no more short passes!!!!

especially not to the outside.
No none period. We are sucking ass at those
they only have one timeout.....so we could at least milk clock. one first down is huge. two might end it
One first down away!!!

ou just one timeout

We need a TD here to put this away...
i was so nervous...

thanks Earl! Now the offense needs to tighten up their jockstraps and run the ball

$50 says...

…GD runs it twice, then throws a 1-yard pass on 3rd and 6, and we punt the ball back to ou with 1:45 left, and then I go throw up.

If one timeout, run six plays and we win
can we possibly get two first downs on the ground?

honestly?

3:30 until ecstasy.
Cody. Fucking. Johnson.

We should refer to him as CFJ from here on out.

I approve of this post
Cody

moving the scrum.

Move the pile CJ!
Cody Johnson is a beast
rushing yards 130

who would of thought?

Who would of thought they could shutdown shipley..
tick tock, tick tock.
thank God and greyhound!

now pound the motherfucking rock and put these bastards away!

OU called their last time out now
Last timeout burned for OU...

Those early timeouts they burned are gonna haunt them now..

Only if GD keeps calling running plays
Keep running the ball

No need to get cute here.

2 more from Cody please!!!!!!
TEXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
FFFFFIIIIIIGGGGHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

That’s an illegal push, like the Bush push, but oh well…refs don’t seem to care no matter who’s playing.

Really,

the qb keeper on 2 and 5?

There's run #1...
There's run #2...

…pass coming up.

First down here and the game is over...
GD pull out what you have been saving to win the game here...

Just need 5 yards..

i'm scared of the pass.
gotta find shipley here
Gotta run it on 3rd down with no TOs for OU
And now we're

going to use a to we might need on defense?

Please dont be right ADT2...
Why do we call TO

What if we need them?

Allows us to milk as much time off the clock as possible
I'm already feeling nauseous
greg f'ing davis with a brutal call

just let cody finish

What's up with that decision

Let the clock run down on 3rd down and we call TO?

c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
short pass to shipley

who takes it to the house

Game over!!!
wow

that was a crafty play

Colt

almost slid too early, but good run.

Great call

JohnsonUT

...and there's the pa-- WAIT! FUCK ME SIDEWAYS!

Holy shit!

I'm' so glad you were wrong on that one :)
why would you hold here

stupid stupid stupid

So a RRS will end withou a double-digit victor for the first time in the Brown era
45-35 ring a bell?
last I checked

the number 10 has two digits

HOLD

Are you effing kidding me???

Ball control....

and ball safety

Check out that stat.

Big Game Mack?

I want a photoshop of wrestlers.

With Stoops handing Mack a title belt with Big Game written on it.

I like that stat….Mack wins more by 3pts or less than Stoops…

Because we don't blow out opponents?
holding

fucking holding

OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE

OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE, FUCK YOU, OU

That penalty

cost us 15 seconds of clock time.

crap. not good to stop the clock there and push us back.
they're gonna get the ball back aren't they
Why not just take some knees now?
Friggin Herbstreit

“…gone from Big Game Bob to…struggling in those games.”

How about “…gone from Big Game Bob to…Big Game Boob.” I think that should be his official handle from here on out.

The initials stay the same it works for me
I like Small Game Stoopsy
this play should take 5 seconds
We Should Be Punting with 6 seconds left

Rugby punt, or a ball-holding play. Nothing with any distance.

Need a 5 second play

NO PENALTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps

no penalties.

and no incomplete passes.
I think

there’s about a 4 second difference. If we can run a 4 second play we should be fine.

we can milk a punt for 4 seconds, I think
David Snow sh*t the bed today..
I don't like letting the clock run down

and calling TO. Run the play with 2 seconds left and keep the TOs.

God Bless The Horns!
If I hear...

Musburger mention fried food one more time, I’m going to shove a “corny dog” down his fucking throat. Why does he still comment on games?

because corny dogs are fucking delicious
Is Bradford out of this game

They have not mentioned Bradford for the last two minutes.

Um....he's been out after 8 plays
Didn't stop them from talking.
we blew up his shoulder again on the second series of the game
Fucking Beal!

What a fucking asshole loser!

Um...

SITTING is not allowed Colt. What a pansy ass move

late hit

free knee

Before Anyone Whines About the Score...

…ask Ohio State if they wouldn’t want this win.

The flag

is on them, it’s over.

CRYING KID PLEASE

CRYING STOOPS TOO.

BALLGAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personal Foul

Eat shit OU

what an idiot

pretty bad call

Thank you a penalty our way!

It was ugly but I'll take it!

Hook em! \m/

Mack not 6-6 against OU

above .500 next year!!!

held OU to 13 pts.....................WOW!!!!!!
If they score 60 for the rest of season

they can still be champs.

Thanks everyone for pulling me through this game!!!

Hookem!!!!

I work with OU fans...I don't care about the score as long as we win each year!
OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE

FUCK YOU Ooooouooo O U FUCK YOU

I'll take it. well done boys
Survive and advance
That's it

Just a brutal, brutal game by both sides. Texas won ugly and OU lost ugly.

Happy with the result

The offense still doesn’t seem to be doing what we expect them to, and it wasn’t very pretty, but it’s still a win. So, I’m happy.

Haha, and I love how they’re singing with the “OU Sucks” ad lib.

At least

we won by more than 1 point so they can’t say OU is 3 points away from being undefeated.

Man, this is an embarrassing win, but I’ll take this W. Texas played so horribly in so many aspects of the game, and still won.

Not embarrassed at all
So I guess

If they had played well, it would have been a blow out we can say…right?

weird game

i’ll take the living shit out of it

I think I'm going to collapse

you know, our defensive players played their hearts out too

Who cares about the score?

Colt’s Heisman is dead, but just win baby!

Alabama loses to Florida in the SEC championship game.......

and we’re in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we're still #2 in the harris poll

the AP doesn’t matter

BCS comes out tomarrow thou
and it hardly matters if we're #2 or #3, because UF and Bama have to play each other
Colt

3-1 against OU. Legendary?

Yes

but not Gardare legendary. ;)

no

he’s legen — wait for it — dary!

He's still

1-2 against ATM so I wouldn’t go there yet.

We all seem to forget the A&M game

but they’ve been playing well against us ever since VY left so maybe it’s a rivalry again? And they look half way decent this year.

He's no Pete Gardere

But then again, who is?

He

threw several Gardere outs today, those passes that seem like they take 45 seconds to get out there and are almost all picked.

yes...peter the great flutterballs!
In my book - definitely yes
The

Leave Some Doubt tour is still on, but I’ll take every win we can get.

Colt sick again?

saying he was sick today

Sick Colt sounds like shit

Voice sounded like he went to a doobie bros. concert.

a win is a win but...

the offense is going to have to get going for us to get to pasadena.

I love Colt saying he was sick all week

…again. So I guess every time we have a shitty win, Colt will be sick so it actually looks like he’s a hero for playing sick and we don’t look AS bad. I just hope he’s not sick come NC time.

jordan will keep him warm during the winter leadup to the game
Or Bradford might keep him warm..
Someone

needs to get him a freaking bubble to keep him in during the week.

and muschamp is worth every penny.
yep

winning on defense is still winning

I guess OU is now all set up for a run to the BCS Championship Game
haha....nice.
Awesome way to leave the feed.

Damn cut it short.

ABC can't stay at the game for one last line of the Eyes?!?
OUsucks:

You guys played on hell of a game. This should have been a blowout, considering the disparity in personnel and healthy. But you guys fought, and made this game one of the hardest-fought in some time. Congrats on a great showing, and showing what this rivalry is supposed to be.

I hate OUsucks, but you guys will be known as “OU,” not OUsucks," by me for at least the next couple of weeks.

Its 3pm and OU still sucks!! Peace out!!
I am so happy

I could cry.

Celebration thread up FYI
If Bradford turns pro

I can’t wait to watch GG and crew take it to Landry and the land thieves again next year.

Yep, the sky is the limit for GG..

I really think he will be better than Colt..

He can only match Colt's 3 wins vs ou
Yep...but Iam thinking National Championships...

He can beat whatever Colt can do in that department..

enjoying the win, but the offense has a long way to go before we're capable of winning a NC

defense and special are f*cking stout. they can put us over the top.

Agreeed but we bought ourselves some more time..

Hopefully something will hopefully click and come alive..

a texas win always brings me happiness
