OU needs their SEC card revoked after that showing of a slip ‘n slide field

There was several Rumors that OU field was going to be slippery.

What are the 1st Quarter Boiz gonna do next weekend?

That TD at the end of the 1st paid and also saved a couple really nice parlays. It was a good day.

That's the narrative for fan bases after a loss, the officials get the blame.

after wins as well

I like Justin Baxter....but....Sampson is NFL bound after this year and we are looking at Bishop, maybe Keith....I can't see us not getting an elite RB. ADear are you rethinking the 6 RBs ahead of you at Bama? Who could be in the transfer portal?

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Lottttttta cope on social media.

“Whatever, Oklahoma isn’t any good.”

“Whatever, this proves that Tennessee’s offense can’t perform on the road.”

“Whatever, blah blah blah blah”

I hear these call in shows over the years-- complaining about Tony Vitello game plan, Rick Barnes and Josh Heupel. I think all have proven themselves. I have watched Georgia win with defense for years-- I think we good no matter how we win.

Who's this Justin Baxter you are mentioning?

The amount of lost footing in this game was very high. Squirrel slipped almost every time he touched the ball. Sampson slipped. Turrentine slipped. It was constantly happening. Seemed worse than the 2022 SCAR game

They spray painted that crappy field green over the week to try to make it not look as bad on tv. That field was atrocious.

I understand. OP was saying he dialed it back because it was Oklahoma. I agree he dialed it back in the second half.

Sorry, but I don't believe that he dialed it back b/c it is OU.

It looked like he went conservative b/c our OL was struggling, the crowd noise and disguised blitzes seemed to be affecting Nico and the O, and he felt like if we ate clock and relied on the defense that gave us the best chance to win as opposed to possibly turning it over some more.

And it worked. Thank all that is good and gracious, it worked. lol

I'm not sure that CJH felt the same way that I did, but it never really felt like we had the game completely wrapped up until the last drive or so. It always felt to me that there was the danger of the unforeseen looming. I just can't personally see Josh taking his foot off the gas with the game in any sort of question just b/c it's his old Uni (that fired him for doing what the head coach forced him to do, in installing an offense that he didn't want to run).

But, rumor is I've been wrong before. I can't confirm. Once, I thought I was, but I think I was incorrect about that.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Arnold go to Miss St next year.

Lebby recruited him.

He's definitely gone from OU. He lost his job last night. That freshman is going to give some coaches headaches.

 

[Orange_Crush]

I love this so much. Not even for me as a fan. For CJH, the team and the staff. It's beautiful to see the mutual love and respect there. We have something special, built on firm and deep foundations.

Arnold tries to play "Hero" a couple of those plays he should've just ate the ball and took the sack.

Herbstreit has been big time on our jock even before the season started. Despite what you might think of him, it's only a huge positive to have national guys fawning over our team. So many years those dudes dogged us...and we deserved it.

What a game. Happy Sunday

Right up until Yeti offered them a free "hot" "bath" in a pot over a fire, filled with carrots and onions.

Sorry. Just kidding.



























We all know yetis don't eat veggies.

There was several Rumors that OU field was going to be slippery.

I've always preferred grass over turf, but with Georgia and USCjr two years ago and OU last night, I'm beginning to think that turf should be mandated if teams trash their grass field to work to their advantage intentionally.

Yeah, he dialed it back because the field was ass and we were on a 3rd and 2nd string tackle. It's really not much more complicated than that. Heupel is a killer and other coaches around the league know it. He's just not wired that way. He would have beat OU to death with his bare hands and dropped 70 on them if he could have.

 

[Orange_Crush]

My boss had a cookout tonight. So I just finished watching the game on recording. Our defense is ELITE. But I’m a bit concerned about the offense now. That was bad.

You need a new boss.

It’s funny how that works. When your team isn’t good and analysts correctly point that out then the fan base makes that person the bad guy lol

 

[Orange_Crush]

We're winning it all!

There aren't enough buttons to like this enough. Love, love, love it!

 

[TrippieRedd]

****** field, they knew what they were doing with that ********.

Both of our tackles out, JP didn’t have the best game.

Game should have been won by 21+.

I’m not giving OU any credit…they ****ing suck.

So ESPN doesn't hate Tennessee now? Thank goodness
