OT: Oklahoma State Vs. Iowa State
November 18th, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
Go, go, go, shit, shit, f-ing incompletion, kick is no good.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
I have to sound crass, but the whole "Women's basketball team" tragedy bit sounded really forced. I wish they could just talk about it without sounding like the football was rending their hair over it. I have a hard time believe the womens basketball coach and the fooball players had some kind of deep, emotional bond that leaves them seperated. I'd have really just gone for a tribute piece instead of 10 minutes of "look how sad the football players are".
November 18th, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
....a uniform, universal tribute to their lives would have been excellent. It seemed like they were almost trying too hard to be sad in a situation that needed no urging.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:56 AM ^
I would be surprised if most of the football players had even seen the two coaches in person before. They were undoubtedly sad about the tragedy, but was more of a media creation IMO.

One of my daughters is an MSU grad, another is a student at OSU (not tOSU)--we live in Oklahoma. Last year she worked serving food to the athletes. The football team and men's and women's basketball teams eat together. They are the full scholarship athletes who get the top shelf food. My daughter says the assistant coaches often eat there as well, including men's and women's basketball coaches, but rarely head football coach Mike Gundy, so most of the football players would have at least seen the women's basketball coaches.
OSU has a bye week next week, so their next game is against OU--OSU's biggest game of the year, every year (OU's biggest game is Texas), and of course with both teams as highly ranked as they are, this year's game is especially big, making this game a huge trap game for OSU to start with. Also, OSU has been spotty. They look unstoppable against some teams and mediocre against others. They will have their hands full with OU.

I've got the game on because there's nothing better for me to do until bar time. I have my favorite couch & a slow infusion of alcohol into the bloodstream ... all I can think about is beating Nebraska. I love saturdays.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
The way to start a drive after a fumble recovery against the #2 team in the country is NOT a false start penalty. It makes it look like, "Awesome. We got the ball. Now what?"
November 18th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
You know, Virginia Tech played a weeknight game on ESPN last night.
So it hasn't really been that long since ESPN showed a non-MAC weeknight game
November 18th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
I started the thread on it too. I am rusty at non-MAC threads apparently.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
What the hell....
November 18th, 2011 at 8:37 PM ^
CMU vs. Toledo on ESPNU

Pick up a 2-inch brush and paint around the trim in my bedroom hallway. I'll follow with the roller.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
November 18th, 2011 at 8:57 PM ^
I'll bring tape and spacers so the stripes are at least evenly spaced.
November 18th, 2011 at 9:00 PM ^
November 18th, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
Did you decide on an alternating eggshell / satin / gloss thing? Vision problems early for this kid?
November 18th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
If I was ever consulted, we would be doing none of that. However, my opinion does not matter. Can you believe it? (/s)
November 18th, 2011 at 9:25 PM ^
I was handed a swatch of Behr colors and told that these are the ones I should buy, right down to finish and number of cans. The wife is orgnaized like that.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
Slowest pick 6 eva!
November 18th, 2011 at 8:46 PM ^
He could have walked that in....it took ISU literally minutes to figure out what happened.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
not literally.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
Seemed like it took forever for Lewis to get to the endzone though.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:59 PM ^
and then the guy looked like he needed oxygen on the sidelines, haha.
November 18th, 2011 at 9:05 PM ^
LSU/Alabama/Arkansas is going to murder everyone on Oklahoma State if OK State makes the title game. This is a disaster--and they're up 10-0.
Edit: 10-7.
November 18th, 2011 at 9:07 PM ^
So, a rather quick, efficient game then....
November 18th, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
Oklahoma State isn't close to those teams athletically. LSU's defense would seriously kill Weeden.
November 18th, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
Any of those teams would destroy them.
Like a lopsided boxing match really, "OK, go to your corners. When the bell rings, LSU will come out and beat your head in."
November 18th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
This ^^^ is one of my favorite comments ever. Congratulations.
November 18th, 2011 at 10:04 PM ^
Arkansas is bad. A&M gave them the win (they're really generous), Vandy should have beat them, and Ole Miss (OLE MISS) led most of the way against them.
November 18th, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
Oklahoma State up at the half, which ended in a clusterf*ck of fairly obscure rules, such as the half being unable to end on a defensive penalty, but since it was a dead ball, the half CAN end....point being, it's halftime.
November 18th, 2011 at 9:49 PM ^
I have this game on mute and I'm playing Skyrim, yet I still feel it is terrible. Although the world's slowest runback was cool.
November 18th, 2011 at 10:06 PM ^
Iowa State is learning that you need to attempt coverage before it is "blown coverage".
November 18th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
Man, the joy in these announcers' voices when ISU does something good is unmistakable. Maybe I'm biased because I'm rooting for Oklahoma State, but I mean, come on.
November 18th, 2011 at 10:57 PM ^
an upset brewing.
November 18th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
Weeden's Heisman chances should be done after this. Also, I don't really like the idea that someone who is 28 years old, which is OLDER than Aaron Rodgers, can win the Heisman.
November 19th, 2011 at 1:03 AM ^
won the Heisman who is about the same age as Brandon Weeden so.......
November 18th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
Tied game.
November 18th, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
I just turned it on for that TD drive, but this Ok St. team doesn't really play defense. Has that been the case all season?
November 18th, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
I don't want a rematch for the championship. Looking more and more likely although maybe Oklahoma moves back into position.
November 18th, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
24-24 with 4 mins left. ISU is fired up. Ought to be a great finish.
November 18th, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
i think ok st. has been poor defensively - but has been able to offset that with creating turnovers.
also, how good do you have to be defensively when you average 50+ a game?
as i type this - OK St - INT
November 18th, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
OSU pick.
November 18th, 2011 at 11:34 PM ^
Why the hell didn't Iowa State call a timeout there? Football coaches are ridiculous.
November 18th, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
thats the smell of controversey. I think that field goal was good
November 18th, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
The entire football has to pass to the inside of the upright extended. That ball clearly went directly over it.
November 18th, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
well than nevermind, but I can't help but think that if OK State loses that, that will be their cop out.
November 18th, 2011 at 11:36 PM ^
missed the kick - noose on OSU is starting to tighten.
OK St leads the nation in turnover margin - +1.8/game
by comparison - Michigan is #34 - at +0.40
