It's always interesting that people think Oklahoma State has a huge home field advantage. 

Since the start of '14 Oklahoma State is 11-10 against Big 12 teams in Stillwater. 

i just hate playing in the fucking piece of shit stadium because you are pretty much guaranteed to have at least four players hurt and one paralyzed because their dumbass stadium walls are 2 feet from out of bounds line.

Not that I'm complaining, but why is this the ABC Primetime Game of the Week? OK State is 8th in Big 12. 

Are there no other games that day? Is it SEC Cupcake Week? 

only ranked team playing at 7 (ND plays Navy but they're on CBS) / aggy plays miss. state at 6 on ESPN.  so I'm guessing not much out there.

This. 

['stache 21802]

In 20 years of following OSU football I can only vaguely recall 2 times a player might have been injured by the close wall.  I think a player once slid into the wall during a rainstorm and hurt his ankle.  I seem to recall a second, but not really certain.  If each game guaranteed four injuries and one paralyzation, I'm pretty sure our program would have been shut down long ago.  And since our team plays there 6-7 times a year, we probably would run out of players by season's end.

thank you for your pedantic literal response to my hyperbole.  your stupid fucking wall is way too close.  it's dangerous.

ask chris warren from 2016, ask earl thomas from 2009, roy williams from 2003...ask d'onta foreman at 3:05 of this video:

Fuck me? No no no.

Fuck your homecoming. - America's Greatest Homecoming Celebration?  No, I will not fuck it

Fuck Gallagher-Iba and that it smelled like cheese when I visited as an elementary student. - those are nachos mother fucker!

Fuck your stadium that was under construction for what felt like a decade. -  that's fair

Fuck your 5 yard deep sidelines. - dis you want us to spend two decades fixing up that old rust bucket?  Choices had to be made

Fuck the pokes for playing harder against us then against your instate rival. - It isn't the players not playing hard.  It's Gundy coaching like a pussy vs. OU

And fuck Eskimo joe’s! -  Now that's over the line!

I would agree that they are annoyingly close. But saying they are "dangerous" is just hyperbole for hyperbole's sake.  Were any of those players literally injured (meaning they were carted off or were otherwise unable to return to the game) from running into the walls?  I don't think so.  I've been going to games in Stillwater for 30 years and I can think of maybe twice when that happened. I think one was an OU player in the early 90s.  I don't even recall the other but it was way before the stadium was upgraded/remodeled so it was before 2004 at least.

However, I can think of dozens of other instances where players were injured on the playing field just because... you know... it's fucking football.

There are plenty of things to bitch about in terms of the game day experience in Stillwater (East/West orientation, paddle people, shit data coverage in the stadium). 

"The walls are too close and cause injuries" just seems baseless and stupid considering players actually getting injured from running into to them is extraordinarily rare.  

[sidis 9825]

yes, earl thomas was out of the game after his injury in 2009...a concussion from the fucking wall.  chris warren missed most of the rest of the 2016 season after his injury.  d'onta was in pretty bad shape after the above incident.  they had to stop the game for quite a while.

it is unnecessary and it is very dangerous.  it is also a no-brainer fix.

How do you fix it? If you know how that stadium is constructed, I don’t think you can without losing thousands of seats. Which means thousands of dollars. It sounds like you’re expecting big time college sports to choose the best interests of the players over money.

@Thetexashammer offense was shit in the 2nd half

You mean the half where we scored 0 points against a soft Baylor run defense and where Shane gave up a turnover that put Baylor in position to win late?

This offense is built around the QB run threat.  Without that, defenses easily overwhelm our craptastic o-line.  Shane is not a run threat. Without that, we have to rely on a shitty O-line to run block.

I mean, you're not wrong.

but smacking paddles on some gym mats is so threatening!

dumbass-ness abounds up there.  stadium also runs East West

[CastHorn 811]

Shane missed a bunch of easy throws against Baylor to some big ass receivers. If he can put those on the numbers against OSU, I think he’s more than enough to win. He’s also better throwing those screen passes. 

[XYZ 2154]

Yeah, the coaches should tell Shane to put the ball on the numbers instead of way off.

Thousands of dollars? Thousands??? Where oh where would T. Boone find that kind of money?

[El Squared 1802]

I say we run Wildhorn w/LJL and Ingram back there all game.

let the chips fall where they may.

[ousux 5597]

Greatest concern isn't Sam's health or Shane's performance in his stead, it's whether we'll be playing against 11 ... or 19.
 

T Boone still alive and kicking?

That you have no room to talk about series records because the only wins you've been able to scratch out are the best years in your program's history vs. some of our worst - and despite that you still almost lose to us every single year to the degree that officiating handed you a win against a fucking terrible Texas team you should have smacked. 

 

You're lucky to even be 6-2 since '09. You're like 3 plays away from being 3-5.
