Ha I remember that game.  My senior year in college.  Year 2 of Bob Simmons.  Byron Hanspard (sp?) ran for like elevnty thousand yards against us that day and Tech destroyed us. 

We were still one year away from making our first bowl game since Barry Sanders left.  Man, that was a different time.

I went to high school and played on the football team with Alonzo Mays &, Marcellus Rivers, both of which went to on play for the Cowboys...

By the way, Oklahoma looks to be taking a page out of the script of Oklahoma State & Texas, in adding beer sales in the stadium:

With the Sooners & Cowboys looking to get a buzz, with beer sales in the stadium & passing medicinal marijuana, the state might jump up this list a peg or two (or not)...

Didn't graduate, but was a student. Wikipedia says he quit one class short of graduation which seems about right.

I was thinking about that video board's effect on an opposing kicker.   You could throw up all kinds of optical illusions if you wanted.  Like an image of a field goal on that end of the field...then sliiiiiide it slowly to the left as he's about to kick.

That shit would get banned and/or draw a penalty in about 6 seconds.

Frankly, I think they'll soon be banned from flashing the Busey Pic, too, even though I don't think they should.

I'm sure banning an optical illusion would get discussed, after the fact.  So, you'd get ONE use of it.  Like say, against OU, when OSU is about to lose the big 12 championship by 1 score for the 10th year in a row.

If you ban the Busey pic, then you have to talk about banning video boards during specific plays in ALL stadiums.  Any player can say he's being distracted by a video board, if it's within his field of vision.     

edit: they probably will set up some basic rules governing video boards in the future...where they can be placed, what they can show during plays, etc.  But currently, there aren't any rules that I"m aware of, so enjoy it while it lasts.  I'm sure, at some point in our future, the fun-police will step in and  homogenize the experience of attending a game in person.

['stache 21,866]

They had an optical illusion spiny thing on a punt that direction but on the only field goal I’ve seen that direction it was a giant Pete face that had three still shots zoomed in on his eyes. I can see them banning that if some pussy program complains. Our PA guy used to announce “third down and ___ upcoming for the visitors.” Neby complained at being referred to as “the visitors” and we stopped saying it. I don’t think they can ban it on third downs though. If they do that they may as well just ban the whole thing and I would hope fans everywhere would agree that’s fucking stupid.

[Okie State 3,848]

Still can't believe Nebraska complained about that.

[El Diablo 4,232]

Remember we're in a conference with OU and Joe Castiglione. If Joe told Mark Emmert to eat shit, Mark would do it and then happily tell everyone what a lovely lunch he'd had.

LOL I bet. Are they even letting people post negative stuff?  Usually it gets deleted.

Losing McClesky sucks, but if any position group can withstand a loss, it's that one.  Seems like Dillon Stoner has taken a lot of his catches away this year. (No racist)

[Okie State 3,848]

Oh, it's definitely sky is falling. I get that things aren't looking great right now, but honestly we came back to reality after a great game against Boise. Our offense is not what it usually is. You need a QB who can air it out to win in this conference. O-Line hasn't been great in years. You obviously need both to setup the run.

 

This was always going to be a down year. As far as we've come, we have not reached the point of plugging and playing a position as important as QB without missing a beat. Few programs are at that level.

 

Also, fans calling for Gundy's head every time we lose is growing tiresome. Delusional.

Actually re: #1 -- one of the Tulsa World reporters just posted on Twitter a bit ago that Stoner, McCleskey and Johnson all were tied for the team lead in targets after the first 4 games.

And #2 - yeah... I think that's why most of the OSU fans who post here like this site. OP.com is way too much groupthink.

I banned myself from OP years ago. I might have to do a flyby.

Anyone talking about how Gundy is focused too much on his kids HS career right now?

['stache 21,866]

Yeah, it was a rebuilding year and I had some hope after Boise that maybe we'd still win 9-10 games, but I guess rebuild it is.  O-Line really needs to improve.  It's been pretty shitty for too many years no.  Defense looked great against Boise and like shit against Tech.  On most run plays we barely touched the RB until he was already 5 yards downfield.  That concerns me that Jim Knowles couldn't adjust the entire game.  McClesky is pulling a bitch move (he caught 4 fucking passes last game for fucks sake) but if he thinks that's best, then fine.  I doubt he'll be any more productive in a different system.  

As far as Tech, it only took them 10 years to beat us.  I expect our games will be more competitive with this new QB, and we may have just ensured Coach Bro sticks around guaranteeing mediocrity for the foreseeable future.  I don't expect this is the start of any run for Tech against us.  We had a shitty game and will improve next year and probably throughout this season.

Series record= TT leads 22-21-3

[Hamttx 421]

More overreaction after a loss. That is the Big12’s biggest liability going forward. Most of the teams can beat each other on any given Saturday. There is no one team head and shoulders above the rest. All suffer from one phase of their game having some issues. And with a championship being determined by having to beat someone possibly twice, it is going to be hard to get a playoff team.

It would be healthy for the conference to have Texas, ou, Okie lite, and TCU all strong. But the math is against that. In the SEC you can avoid such problems simply by not playing a strong program every eight years.

Think about this, ou is undefeated (3-0) against Alabama since the turn of the century. And has played them roughly half as many times as Georgia (Georgia is 3-4 since 2000), who is in the same fucking conference! How is that shit even fucking possible? Comparing the two conferences is all but impossible.

I'm not overreacting.  I still think we're a 7-8 win team.  But you're right, the middle of the Big 12 will be a crapshoot.  No telling who comes out towards the top.  I think we'll get it together and have a winning record in conference.   Which are wins and which are losses aren't as clear as we thought before last week.
