Big 12 Runner-Up is . . .
Posted by ChrisApplewhite on December 6th, 2008 under Uncategorized
coming up. 80% chance I will want to kill myself in the next hour so this may end up being a short effort. Not abnormal for me, right ladies?
Murray starts the game by sprinting 35 yards and falling to the first guy that touches him. Better than anyone else ever has.
Missouri’s defense looks into it.
Doesn’t matter. I wonder what else is on.
That might be an incompletion. They should check.
They will. Brent Musburger has time to run downstairs and blow Bob Stoops real fast. Best way to face Bob Stoops is to go deep, Brent.
Can you imagine if Roy Miller and Jeremy Maclin had stuck with OU?
Missouri’s offense look like they left their case of the dumbfucks at home. We can only hope. Don’t screw us again, Daniel.
Games like this — where both offenses are good and both start out hot — always come down to which offense cools off first. It’ll be 21 all before someone starts fumbling or dropping passes or something.
Or, for instance, getting dropped on 3rd and 2 then missing a FG.
Well, aside from the fumble-instead-of-FG I am right on schedule here.
You know the possibility does exist that OU is a better team and Sam Bradford is a better QB. We are one retirement/hire-by-someone-else from not having to do this every year, but right now? Who would you rather play if you’re Florida? Us, right?
My least favorite thing about the Big 12 is the legality of the ‘headlock’ blocking maneuver, where the defender gets past the OL but the blocker can just put his arms across the chest of the defender, or under his shoulders like a half-nelson and somehow block him from behind. I hate that shit and it’s never, ever called.
Missouri’s defense has 3 NFL prospects on it.
Hmm. FX is showing X-Men 3. I hate Brett Ratner but I like the X-Men. Except that bitch Rogue. The movies ruined her. And whatever happened to Gambit? He’d the coolest one. Arizona/Arizona State and WVU/USF are playing, too. Lots of options.
Witherspoon got blocked in the back on that TD run. The replay showed it pretty clearly. I wonder if a Big 12 ref had seen Oswald shoot JFK, if he’d say anything.
Chase Daniel is top heavy. He looks like a normal sized person with twig legs and a big, fat head. It makes him look like a baby.
End of the first, Sooners up 10-0. I’m honestly not sure which of these two teams should be more ashamed. Sooners have been taking things that aren’t theirs for centuries, though.
Jeremy Maclin is fast. 10-7. I still bought tickets for Milk tonight at Alamo downtown for 10pm. I heard it’s good, but I don’t like Sean Penn or Emile Hirsch. Whatever, beats watching this.
I’m calling it now: OUabig12trophy vs. UF.
Two kickoffs in a row from the 15. That’s probably a first. 17-7.
Best case scenario for us here is Missouri gets a TD, stops OU, then scores again before the half. Here is how it will play out: Missouri FG, Sooner TD, Missouri punt, Sooner TD. Watch.
. . . that fumble happen. Is there some sort of unclutch Heisman you can win? Daniel deserves it. What a turd of a season he’s had.
If you were Florida, who would you rather play in a month? If you’re the Lions, who are you hoping comes out? I’m just saying, maybe the BCS is right. The good news is that we are one retirement/hire-by-someone-else from taking our rightful place.
Chase Daniel nearly fumbled again. I’d punch him in the head, if I thought he would feel it at all.
Yes, DeMarco Murray really makes this team go.
Meanwhile, Sam Bradford is a machine. I’ve said, since Heupel left, that the only thing holding OU back was shitty QB play. They finally have a legit one, and they might score 300+ points in 5 games.
31-7. Pssh. Our game was 35-3.
38-7. We were 32 better, not 31, suckers.
I had no idea Harvey Milk dies. Now I do. Great night for me!

Possibly. However, I’m telling you – the beauty of these intergame lines is that when you see that all-too-familiar big early game lead that you know will evaporate down the stretch as soon as the team starts regressing to their 3 point shooting mean, there’s some money to be made.

This conference is making a mockery of the rulebook. The NCAA rulebook specifically calls out holding in the ETHICS portion of the rules, clearly stating that coaching your players to intentionally hold is UNETHICAL and that holding is a SERIOUS VIOLATION.
And yet it is beyond obvious at this point that our conference office has instructed the officials not to call holding. It’s also beyond obvious that this clear edict has created a situation where it is to a team’s competitive advantage to coach their players to intentionally hold, which is a clear violation of the rules as well as explicitly stated coaching ethics.
And before any know-it-alls chime in, I am talking about the holding that is illegal. Hands inside the framework of the defender is explicitly condoned in the rules. Grasping the defender outside the framework, e.g., by the outside of the shoulder pads, is clearly illegal.
Horn in Tyler said:

What a classless prick. Clock is running down. Snapping it w/ 20 seconds left. No huddle. 1st team still in while Mizz has 2nd team in. Bradford throws a 50 yd post in double coverage. I was seriously hoping Pinkel would walk across the field then and bitch slap the bitch in the visor.
Here’s the deal. 20 or so teams in the nation could score 60 a game in maybe even 7-8 straight. But they don’t because they have class. What a turd.
And yes, good to finally see who finishes behind us in the conference.

You guys looked really good coming into Dallas too. Funny how defense can make a team look “like they are playing better since Dallas”. Considering that was the best team you faced all year, what do you expect?
Lastly………….. saying the words “Losers”, implies that we actually lost, which we didn’t. Using the term winners would be the more appropriate application

I will back-up WWGDD whole heartedly. The media’s take last night was “OU proves it deserves this by scoring 62″. What a bunch of bullshit. We could absolutely face rape a bunch of these weak ass B12 defenses in trash time if we wanted too, and so could a lot of other good teams. It’s CLASSLESS, and I hope there is some backlash at some point within the coaching community and the media. If I was coaching those kids and had to deal with the fallout of having their noses rubbed in it, I would definitely want to punch visor boy in the nuts after that shit. Repeatedly. Until he spat blood. Crimson blood…sorry gotta go beat my OU fan neighbors cat now…

Now that I’ve cooled off a bit (and beat a Sooner cat into submission) I can only take solace in the fact that I believe:
1. We exceeded our wildest expectations this year.
2. We’re gonna kick ass in the bowl game.
3. Unless Colt leaves, we beat the crap out of OU next year (and everyone else), with or without Bradford.
4. Our defense will be the best in the Big 12 if not the nation. See #3 above.
P.S. I’ve asked Santa to tell Muschamp to brink Orakpo and Miller into GD’s and “persuade” him to fix the running game too.

Just in case you were wondering, Green Bay just had a 99-yd KO return for a touchdown called back for a holding penalty.
CBS got a great shot of the infraction – it was a ‘half-nelson’ block that ChrisApplewhite described on one of the other threads, where the GB player got hands around the front and back of the opponent, essentially engaging from the side of the player. Evidently, this is the customary blocking technique for OU and Tech linemen in particular, if 2008 is any indication.
What’s interesting is that the GB player probably engaged that hold for no more than a second before releasing it – apparently plenty long enough for an NFL official to recognize and flag the block.
So Sooner fans, which is it: are Big XII officials so incompetent that they can’t identify holding, or are they instructed not to flag it?
