Early Games (Open) Thread

Who wants to watch football when the basketball team is playing at noon?

This SMU-Central Florida game is downright bizarre. Free admission to anyone who could get to the stadium, looks like a good thousand people in the stands.

Call me crazy, but Mark Hollis is sort of becoming a twitter sensation.

nevermind. That first okie state play was nice. Big hold by WR brings it all the way back.

the basketball game isnt looking too awesome. We look awful on defense.

BALL MOVEMENT. Holy passing, Batman.

Defense not featuring heavily in this one.  We get split on doubles off pick action wayyyyy too much.  Needs to be a point of emphasis.

I be like dang.  If Caris Levert can put on another 15 pounds he could be a lottery pick.  Let's hope his improvement continues to be even a fraction of what it has been over the past year.

First time I've ever seen the fake countdown fail because the shooter made the pressure shot anyways

McGary with the pop pass!!

Great Oop from Mitch to GRIII.

Happy to see Nik is playing well again.

That's how you take it to the half.

Throwdown to end the half.

GRIII had a major lapse on defense right after his oop jam. A switch needs to flip for this kid.  I'm not saying he doesn't want it or anything like that, but there are just too many times where he is responsible for defensive breakdowns and offensive stagnation.

Really poured it on. Nice intensity. A lot of those points were caused by pressure. 

Nice ball movement.

And that was quite a body slam there by the osu DB

1.93 points per possession for us.  Wow.

I'll take a BB win against anybody.

OU's punter pins osu inside the 5 twice.

osu gives up a punt return for a TD

7-7 after 1

Pretty impressive. 4th try wasn't even close.

I'm 40!

That was almost ugly.

Fuck this. I hate the fact that our two biggest rivals are playing in the title game. At least with the alignment next season, we know that MSU will never reach a conference title game again.

This is dumb. I'm moving over to the 'Title says it all' thread.

I was worried about the board I'm glad you last 2 posted something.

I thought everyone fainted when McGary went down.

It's weird how they are asking players from other teams talk about how great OSU and MSU are. I wish someone would give the "wrong" answer.

Does anyone hae a worse fight song than Oklahoma? 

Great helmet to ball to helmet to ground defense by Okie State.

Can't believe okie state is losing this game.

 

Big Punt. OU can put it away here with a big drive but it's gotta be 99 yards.

Okie St with an impressive drive. Want to see OU put one on the board for a great ending.

4th and 4, up three from the OK State 36, Stoops tried to play the field position game and punted.  OK State drives down the field and scores.

OSU shitting the bed here

I'll never understand why teams going for the winning score don't bleed more clock. 1:54 is way too much time and the other team almost always at least comes close to tying/winning the game. 

Huge missed call. When Blake Bell stepped up in the pocket, The Oklahoma State DE had the tackle beat on a bullrush and was behind him. The linemen just grabbed on and didn't let him turn around. No call. Oklahoma wins.

to say Okie State was hosed on the INT non-call.  It indeed looked like the CB had possession while on his back, before the receiver raked it out of his hands.

We would be crying about the non-interception call for years....but when you don't care about these teams, you just shrug and say, probably a good call
