And with 4 new downs we don't even try one ******* shot down the field. If we **** it up just throw it out and then on the next down take a knee

WTF

 

[Doctor]

That TD helped them a lot, but they still look dejected.

We're gonna win and I would bet my life on it.

 

[MilehighClone]

Still have to be encouraged. In a position to win the game.

 

[HILL]

Petros is almost as dumb as he is ugly.

 

[stormchaser2014]

There are storms to chase in mid November?

All of Indiana and Ohio, half of Michigan, and part of Illinois are all under a moderate risk for tomorrow.

You have the ball and the wind and OU just made a huge game changing play and they get the ball after the half, so let's just sit on it.

Obviously a special teams fail, but we basically handed them the ball and dared them to score with a minute and a half left. That is not how you win football games. We have no reason to play not to lose, we have nothing to lose, so why would we play that way. Messingham just doesn't get it.

Not a Mess fan, but it should be pointed out that could have been a CPR call.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Can't even take one shot down the field with the wind at your back and 23 seconds left in the half.

 

[Yes13]

Yeah, that was all coaching. Keep the hate up!

You're a derp

 

[stormchaser2014]

Is that a serious question?

The power of a DVR

Suppose you're a 1-8 team, up by seven late in the first half vs. a team you rarely beat, and postseason is out of the question. Which of the following is worse:

1. Go for it on 4th & 6 near midfield, fail to convert, and give opponent good field position.
2. Punt, and have it returned for a touchdown.

Keep in mind, your record is 1-8.

In a punting situation, you're completely right. But the play calling leading up to the 4th down is what is the big problem. We shouldn't have been putting ourselves in a 4th & 6 situation.

 

[CydeOut]

I happy it is 10-10 because I wasn't expecting that, but I'm having trouble letting go of how the staff did not attack up 10-3. There is literally not one reason I can think of to play conservatively at that point.

 

[awd4cy]

Maybe you should find a mirror at your place and hold your post up to it?

Maybe you should take a joke once in awhile.

 

[Dandy]

Serious (sarcastic) question: does Bob Stoops think wearing a visor is still cool?

 

[CYme]

Yeah, that was all coaching. Keep the hate up!

You are right, it was. I have been fairly neutral on the coaching all year. The playcalling by the coaches there was awful. Not only on Mess, I'm sure CPR had a hand in the sit on it approach.

 

[BloodyBuddy]

When did we start running this Kirk Ferentz conservative offense crap. I can't do this anymore.

 

[Doctor]

"Oklahoma's athleticism should take over."

They're not any more athletic than us. People are thinking they're more athletic because they're OK, but they're not.

Wimberly is the best RB on the field and has more big play potential than their RBs.

Sure you don't want to start with $5 or something?

 

[alarson]

We're gonna win and I would bet my life on it.

Woah. No reason to get suicidal here.
