  1. Weirdly like our chances for this game .. extra time to prepare and suddenly a very salty run D against a team who needs to be able to tote the rock. Iowa St d has been very hit or miss so hopefully O can get it going. ESPN FPI has us as pretty significant favorites, fwiw.
  2. We played them without their best player on each side of the ball, both of whom are difference makers.
  3. They played him against Tulsa... he’s worse
  4. Is the low hit on a QB not roughing in college? OU has had a couple tonight.
  5. I’m not gonna compliment the dipshit sooner again so whatever. Never said Sam doesn’t make good throws here and there - you’re right the throw to black was money. Problem is he had 2 or 3 probable TDs he missed before that. He’s a solid QB in a vacuum. I’m just pissed this is what we’re getting after 4 years (while OU has literally trotted out 4 superior QBs over that time, only 1 recruited and only 2 more highly regarded out of HS). If you’re content with this QB play from a 4h year starter at Texas, we’re just gonna have to agree to disagree.
  6. Well he went to OU, so isn’t that kind of a given?
  7. Pretty sure it wasn't close. Guy semi sorta in the area but no more than the OSU grounding call. Yeah, neither was grounding - not sure what the refs were looking at on the Ok St one. That and the ridiculous roughing calls - wtf. Big 12 refs are a god damn joke, so it’s never a surprise to see a bad call, but OU sure does seem to be the beneficiary of a bunch of those shit calls or no calls.
  8. Thanks - figured that was the case with the way he got tackled. I’d be surprised to see him come back if that’s the case.
  9. Yeah the WR we got from them this year is killing it!
  10. Did they say what’s going on with Sanders? I was giving the kiddo a bath when it sounded like they may have given an update?
  11. All the times?? Can you show me one? I thought we’ll I do drink during many games so maybe I’m misremembering. So I just watched a ~5 highlight reel of Duv. Zero back shoulder throws. To be fair to Sam a few good throws but definitely not that throw.
  12. Go ahead and hit me with all the times Sam has thrown an accurate back shoulder fade for a TD based on the coverage look. Admittedly hasn’t been a great experience the last couple of years. We’d make a great foil though as you pump that sunshine and I act like a grumpy little bitch while we look like shit (again).
  13. OUs RS freshman QB (that we all made fun of to start the year) is better after 7 games than 4 year starter Sam. That’s the reality of Sam as our QB. And don’t chime in with “coaching!” Or “team around him!” Ratter has already made 2 or 3 throws this game Sam isn’t capable of.
  14. Meh, I’d like to see some advanced stats on this. He definitely makes some good intermediate throws, but he also does shit like miss a 5 yard hitch by 8 feet or force our guys to jump to catch a screen pass totally fucking up play timing. That latter shit sticks out more to me but I’d like to see a real breakdown. What is definitely true is his completion percentage this year is not good.
  15. Hey man, they’re still in contention to win the division, so who’s laughing now?
  16. Yeah I mean Herman is a fucking moron. My hypothetical wishful thinking is Herman falling into something good despite himself. His blinding loyalty to Sam is possibly gonna cost him his job though, so whatever. Regarding playmakers - Jake Smith drops balls but he’s nails. Man beater, quick as shit. He’s the reason the offense got going on the last drive against ok st. But we never get the ball to him on sweeps, screens, etc - we’d rather use Kai money and Epps for that, apparently. Joshua Moore will be an all big 12 guy if he gets a QB that can get him the ball. We all dislike Keontay because of a couple terrible fumbles and a worse drop but the dude chews up yards pretty effectively when given the chance. Brennan Eagles is a matchup nightmare (big, strong, FAST) and would probably catch 10 TDs a year playing for a better passing game. Then we have a guy like Marcus Washington rotting on the bench - a guy almost every team in the country would’ve taken when he signed. Part of this shit is Herman not putting guys in a position to succeed and a lesser part is Sam not being accurate enough to get the ball in a spot where they can use their talent (go rewatch our games and see him throw inaccurate screens and airmail 5 yard hitches). A more creative offensive coach would get the ball into guys hands quickly as opposed to relying on 5 step drops and longer developing routes. Maybe if Herman were forced to be more creative we’d do that. But probably not, because Herman is a fucking moron.
  17. Crazy thought here, but could it be that the offense is bad in part because the QB is exceedingly mediocre? Shit man, in the junior year you just referenced he was throwing to two NFL WR, had a LT who likely would have likely been a first round pick if he’d declared, a possible NFL OL at the other tackle, a 4 year starter at center and a former (1st team?) all ACC guard. And we ended up scoring less points than a mediocre Baylor offense and about the same as OkSt and Iowa St. I get we don’t have the embarrassment of riches as an Alabama or Clemson, but NO blame? It ain’t all on Sam but it’s about time we recognize what an utter failure it that we’ve run him out for 4 years.
  18. Not even getting into the rest of this argument, this isn’t necessarily true. Playing a different QB might actually force Herman to call more plays that get the ball into play makers hands quickly, instead of this absurd offense where we try to make Sam a great drop back passer. And if that guy is fast and can rip a few long runs or can hit a deep ball with any semblance of regularity, even better. Either way if what we’re getting from Sam (whether hurt or not) is the best QB on our roster, we’re proper fucked the next few years. Edit to add: I didn’t really respond to your statement, because I don’t necessarily agree with your premise that our line can’t block and our WR can’t catch. They could be better for sure but our top 3 RB are averaging 5 yards a carry (Sam averaging 3.6 with 90 carries to their ~150) and we’ve had a couple of untimely or bad drops but way more balls just haven’t been that catchable, imo.
  19. What a fucking chode. Almost the same no call we had earlier in the game. And even if they score we still would’ve gotten the ball back (not to mention had been stopping them short yardage all day).
  20. NO ITS EVERYONE ELSES FAULT! QUIT BEING MEAN TO SAM!
  21. Huh? If he leads Schooler he’s not having to jump up and reach over the guy to catch it. Quit making excuses for Sam he’s been wildly inaccurate today. Only made worse by the fact that our WR drop the passes he does put on target.
  22. This is just it - it’s not necessarily that we suck that infuriates me, it’s HOW. Stupid penalties, missed assignment and tackles and lacking situational awareness. Hallmarks of bad coaching. Gets this fraud the fuck out.
  23. 1-6 over last 7 v TCU. Very competitive. Isnt your whole premise that it’s unfair to judge Herman against Bama, tOSU, Clemson because they get better talent? But apparently Herman is doing fine being competitive with ISU despite the HUGE gap in talent? Stick to the NFL dude, because you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about here .
  24. What about the talent compared to OU or TCU or ISU? Should they compete with them, Bob? For an ivy leaguer you sure have a stupid fucking opinion on this one.
