Irish Denied!
As Joyner picks the tipped pass in the end zone and runs it out.
Rumor has it that Texas is about to sign a huge corporate sponsorship deal for the Longhorn Network. They just have to decide which brand represents them best: Dyson, Eureka or Hoover.
So not sad
Will have to watch in a bit

Then FSU returns the favor with a fumble
ND 7 FSU 0

Those Irish are BEASTS
They were able to sack that huge QB for FSU.
Still 7 – 0 in the 2nd Q

make that more bigger, more stronger, and more faster
The one thing being a lot older has going for it, most of us older have seen more CFB than most younger people have seen web pages.
An future nfl first rounders on the 3rd string.
You know there’s 18 of them or something

I know, we had a book written on a single thread from the nolelaw dude.
Reading his crap was like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard
The one thing being a lot older has going for it, most of us older have seen more CFB than most younger people have seen web pages.
FSU stopped inches short on a fake punt
ND ball with 7:00 to go in the first half.

Not sure which half was worse
This one or the Holiday Bowl. Hopefully both teams start to execute some offense in the second half. For our sake, I hope FSU gets it together and pulls away from the Irish quickly.
the Holiday bowl was truly sucky wucky
and someone here predicted UTexass was going to score 44 points.
This year and last year it took texass between 3 to 5 games to score 44 points

My last project of the year for work is forcing me to work from my office at home
…but espn3 was only giving me audio in here. I’ve been walking to the next room to see what was going on every little bit. Let’s hope FSU can put the golden domers away.

I like how all of the rg3 highlights just now were of OU
Makes me feel real proud.
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 6:12 PM CST via mobile reply actions
You notice that crap too?
every teams highlights are when they play OU. I have 2 words for the media, F U and it isn’t Florida Univeristy.

Between our heisman winners
and the players that we have helped win Heismans we should be getting some residual payments from the Heisman trust. If Weeden had not blown it against ISU, think how close the competition would have been between him and RGIII after Bedlam
Sadly I went to the downtown athletic club in August.
Took some pics… Had on an OU visor. Didn’t yell boomer. Highlight of my trip to NYC.

There's a crazy thought
Use your running QB outside the 5-yard line to really mix it up in the red zone
No offense to the hurt guy but theres Greg Reid getting a personal foul
Extending a drive. That ends in a td.
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 6:31 PM CST via mobile reply actions
And Mr. G5 is the one shaken up on the scoring play
What a crazy catch that guy made. It looked like a cat playing with his prey.

Nice return on the KO
FSU needs to stick this one in the end zone b/c it sounds like they have lost their entire secondary and Floyd is going to go wild the rest of the game
Their oline coach or coordinator needs to make some adjustments
ND is getting a couple guys untouched into the backfield – still Manuel should have thrown that one away.
Yeah he should have.
I was more looking at the 4 guys standing around not blocking any one.
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 6:44 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Without that sack, they would have gotten a first down with that penalty
I have never heard that one called before.
I just saw a video clip of Stoops talking about the exodus of players on the news9 sports report
They don’t have the video up on their website yet, but he spoke about (a) missing class, (b) missing time in the weight room, © drug tests, etc. He mentioned not renewing some scholarships since they are here to go to class and also to be the best football player they can be.
Pretty refreshing to hear him speak his mind.

Jimbo looks lost.
Depends on definition of prominence. ND will never return to the early years.
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 7:14 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I would define it as consecutive top 10 finishes
Additionally, for FSU, they obviously have to win the ACC at least once
ND needs to go 10-2 at worst and go to a BCS bowl
Hmmm tough call.
FSU will probably finish ranker higher more quickly. But nd has easier path to bcs game. Not title game.
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 7:32 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Hey! TD FSU
followed by awkward pose as they struggled for the ball

I had forgotten that we are playing ND next year
I wonder who I could bribe to get tickets to that game?
Where are you in texass?
Shouldn’t be hard. If you know any season ticket holder have them request extra. I ended up with 4 (plus my 2) to FSU & I am
Not a donor.

Even the husband is goIng & going to south bend in 14.
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 7:59 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
How old are yours?
It should be pretty easy, i have never requested extra & not gotten. If all else fails go to ticket marketplace on sooner sports.com. Iits where season ticket holders sale at face value. I think you might have to pay $20 to “open” an account to buy the tix.

12, 7, 5
The youngest two are only semi-interested at this point and by next year I have a feeling that the oldest might be more interested in the fairer sex than gameday – maybe I could just adopt a gung-ho young Sooner fan for the day….
I just noticed this
FSU’s players are HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!!!
How is this allowed under NCAA rules. It’s just unfair. They’re so much bigger than every other team!!!

they could have won 8181-14
but they pulled all of their starters after the first minute -otherwise their abnormally large and world-class speedsters would have pummeled the puny Irish
so true

his backup stepped in against Tech and did okay
But I don’t know that means anything really since Tech only seemed to show up to play us. No idea bout their depth at receiver, but I have to guess everything is a drop-off – not to mention confidence-wise they have so much wrapped up in RGIII, I think they regress to more normal Baylor levels but not crater 100%
as you say
A couple quarters vs. a whole season are two very different things

just looked at their 2012 schedule
I think they can win 6 games as they have SMU, UL-Monroe, and Sam Houston (FCS), plus KU (FCS-like but in FBS) on their schedule, plus Iowa State and Tech are good possibilities also.
Does UW have any chance in this game?
I know next to nothing about them – do they match up well at all with Baylor? (BTW – it is still really strange to think of Baylor as a favorite in a bowl – or even in a bowl – just as weird as to think of us losing to them)
Well. Have you seen baylors defense? Even texass scored.
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 8:09 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Remind me again
How did we lose to Baylor? What’s worse – that we gave up 45 or that we only scored 38?
That we gave up 45.
28 in probably 5 minutes.

just got in from some family stuff
sounds like i missed a good first game today?

How did we not run for a gazillion yards against Baylor?
I can’t watch any team that we played against and lost to – well, okay, maybe OSU, and understand how we lost. Baylor can’t tackle anybody.
If only OU
Had an offensive line. Washington is pounding Baylor right now. UW’s DTs look real tough right now too. Why can’t OU have any of those?
by SCKSChief on Dec 29, 2011 9:28 PM CST via mobile reply actions
How did we not put up a gazillion points on this Baylor defense?
I can’t get over our losses – we just really made a mess in the bed several times when we should have won those games.
And Price
Is showing us what the offense could look like with an actual athlete at QB.

OU not running on Baylor
Is completely embarrassing right now. Unreal.
by SCKSChief on Dec 29, 2011 9:40 PM CST via mobile reply actions
I have to stop watching games against teams that we played
because it is driving me nuts that we lost to them
I am getting tired just watching all of these long runs
Definitely more entertaining than the earlier games – making up for lack of offense in about three other bowls combined.
Surely not better than Tejas/Cal?

Did cal beat Uw.
It might explain why there offense had been “explosive”
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 11:16 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
it is getting into video game territory really
imagine if it goes into overtime – it could end up in triple digits
Sarkisian is a good coach
and I think he could do some good things at UW and get them in contention for a P12 title.
I think they lost buckets
Elway pushed to move the season back to the summer from the Feb. start. I understand when they “suspended” the season, the Crush were the leaders that did that.
I had season tickets 2 seasons…..my friends got tired of me asking them to go to the games.
it's not real football
it has it’s own strategies. …playing time, playing for last possession, giving points so you get the ball back.
there's really not another sport
I can compare it to.
Games could be measured in “stops” and many announcers and fans did.
Should get Tebow to play there too
Money would rain down from the heavens.

by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2011 11:18 PM CST via mobile reply actions
they are getting their money's worth
if you only go to a bowl game every once in a while they are at least making it count
My husbands grandmother has 5 season tickets.
This year they used about half. Usually they go to 3 games or so. She calls it giving back.
maybe we should have done that against them
still dumbfounded that we only were able to score 38 points against this defense
Trying not to think that
But you’re likely right.
by SCKSChief on Dec 29, 2011 11:29 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Uh, well, I think we are pretty sucky
I am just confused as to why – it was just such a strange season – starting with having a dynamic walk-on at RB, the wild fluctuations in play, highs (seriously – for a week after the RRS I was thinking we were heading straight to NOLA), then the defensive lapses in the secondary and the wheels coming off repeatedly in the first half of games. It is just tooo much to consider or figure out at this point.
I have no clue where it went wrong either
I think it starts with: Our best running back is a walk on from Langston
yeah I wonder about this too
I mean I understand guys get missed in recruiting or don’t necessarily pan out, but it seems to point to a larger problem that we had three guys in front of him and he outplayed / worked all of them. Buy -in, bad initial evaluations, combo of those – makes it seem like they have lost that edge that they had for the first dozen years or so.
the more I read about how he thought THIS team
was the one to win #8 makes me wonder. Again, he sees them every day so maybe he saw something early on that did not show up, but if he is so off in evaluating his own team then we are truly heading down a slope from which we will not recover until we have coaching changes.
Idk. But I know the team I watched at fsu & Dallas
Was not the team I saw after the tech game. Period. In any way shape or form.
Agreed - After that FSU game, I thought LJ had turned the corner
He made plays – he responded to drives and LED the team to scores. I thought we had the pieces even if I still had concerns about how we could fall asleep in the secondary at times.
The RRS – maybe that was the problem – the defense used a season’s worth of great plays and energy in one game. After that they had nothing in the tank.
I guess.
Fleming injury & worts nagging injury during the RRR I think lead to the tech disaster & then we were snake bit…..
I still think josh tried to force Landry into being comfortable w/out broyles, instead of spreading it around & being patient.
Everyone seems to forget that the Whaleys's injury was big big big
We actually had a running game with Whaley. After he went down the running game turned to crapola. No run game = Depending on HFJ
The one thing being a lot older has going for it, most of us older have seen more CFB than most younger people have seen web pages.
If they leave any time on the clock, RGIII is going to score
they have to score a TD with ten or less seconds left to win
In case you are wondering. There were 4 game threads for fsu.
A post game.
And an “overflow Norte dame spanking” thread.
Did they see the same game?
you need at least that many threads
to cover the awesomeness that was the dismantling of the mighty Irish
make that more bigger, more stronger and more faster... almost like the Tide detergent commercial
The one thing being a lot older has going for it, most of us older have seen more CFB than most younger people have seen web pages.
well obviously
we only gave up 45 to this offensive juggernaut. But we did throw in a Heisman-clinching highlight on the last play of the game cuz we are such nice guys
shoot the co-worker at the next opportunity

Baylor really dropped the ball
they could have scored 100 if they put their mind to it and not taking over a minute on some of those drives
Or if their defense had just let u-dub score instead of giving up a 6 minute drive.
Suck a little harder
It is too late to start chanting De-fense!!! for the UW/Baylor game?
seriously…..when was the last time you went to Ames? ever?
