On behalf of the RF.......

Bump...... directly towards @TN-POSSUM

You want all the smoke Tony Vitello style.

I was just thinking that!

Okie eventually fahrs so many Okie coaches that he has no one left to take over as interim. But, he says, all coaches have like 150 analysts now, so maybe one of them do it.

"Brent [Venables] needs to eat a lot of sh-t for this, too." He explains:




At least -- as opposed to the flaccid trolls here -- Okie Boy sees Heup's strategic maneuvering as Heup's ultimate and intolerable humiliation of Oklahoma football . The unkindest cut of all.

For connoisseur of pathos and self delusion, bruh, bludgeoned into a corner of living hell by his viewing experience, finally strikes out with a knife wet noodle stab that Vols fans need to be very afraid. The Okies will be are desperate now they will take Josh Heupel from us!

Bruh has learned nothing.

@clt_tiger is right. The strange line at 1:38 is the highlight.

That's odd. He didn't give credit to Tennessee. And I do hope he gets his eyelid fixed.

I’d keep him and Campbell out till Florida.

We played fine against OU and surely Arkansas isn’t better than them lol

Brother, I'm not being negative but that Oline didn't play fine against OU. I would grade that as a D.

I love the Rick Flair Woo call by Garrett (our GA) on the sideline towards end of the play.

So, I got to thinking about this OU game and I've gained even more respect and appreciation for CJH.

He was unceremoniously fired from OU after winning them a championship as a qb, then worked up their coaching staff to OC. Stoops forced him to run the TAMU offense at the time even though Josh was an air raid guy. He was fired for doing so and replaced by a guy running the air raid that Josh wanted to run. I can't imagine how betrayed, attacked and slighted he must have felt.

Imagine the temptation to come back and prove his offensive chops. But he didn't. He looked at his team's strengths and weaknesses, at the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Then he humbled himself and allowed Banks to "win the game" so to speak. He allowed it to become a defensive game instead of trying to prove a point and get his due recognition from the folks that slighted him.

I love it.

I still think he could've scored 40+ on them if he really wanted to.

No one ignores Weezer!

This checks out. As listening to Weezer usually feels like about like the man in that bed is feeling in that moment. Gif is accurate.

Exactly! No credit at all. Heurmetically sealed in a bubble of denial. It's all the Okie offense's fault, you see, and all the coaches who need to be fahred.

I suspect his eyelid will never recover. That game left a mark.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Sup VN, 4-0 feels good!

 

[InVOLuntary]

There’s half a dozen or so new girls in the office. They’re young, all 22-24 years old.

Ask em about Taylor Swift, you’ll get a bunch of meh…

Ask em about Morgan Wallen, and their eyes light up…

Pics or it didn't happen.

I can respect that, and I'd like to think that. It's just that with that crowd and the injuries on the OL, I think he was balancing protecting the ball and protecting Nico's psyche. That defense was throwing 8 months of planning and some Venable complexity/disguises at Nico. I think CJH took himself out of the equation and coached for the team's and Nico best benefit.

I think he knew that offense wasn't getting to 20 points without more help from us. And he was right. Even with Nico fumbling twice, (in hindsight, with my BVS flair up out of the equation now) they still didn't get to 20. All that to say that I suspect CJH was thinking more about the odds of their low score vs the odds of our high score. He said in his presser that the game dictated the style. I believe him.

Peace

I don’t think there is any concern whatsoever with Nico’s psyche. I do believe the plan became super conservative after realizing the only way to lose that game was if the OL couldn’t hold up in pass pro and it led to more TOs

The game ball for OU went to the sh!tty turf. And they knew cause they didn't slip, we were sporting road tires while they was off-roading.

 

[chavisut]

But Cole, what about 27’s stats!?

Seriously, Pearce has been a problem for offenses in every game.

 

[Orange.]

Absolutely! Heup was playing the long game, protecting assets for a run.

I was happy to see that even though Okie Boy was blind to almost everything, he took Heup's "effin around" (as he called it) as a huge insult. That means in his heart Okie agrees with you. What he wants to "clarify" is that it could have been much worse. Okie Boi feels like Heup treated Okie like a charity case. There we other reasons, we know, but I'm happy for Okie to know they got off easy and to consider it more humiliating than giving up more points.

 

[StoVol]

The disrespect of their offense is more humiliating than dropping 40 on them

Git sum

yeah and it got their player hurt by his spikes digging in the turf.

 

[VolMike16]

Crockett is the man. Definitely in my current top 3-5.

Same. Good stuff.

 

[GiggerVol]

My take on the game was that it very much kind of felt like one of our games from the late nineties thru 2005 when we would score enough early to feel comfortable and then turn it over to a dominant and punishing defense. Sure, I would have loved to have hung 40 plus on them and truly buried them but coach and our boys proved their point anyway . Let's get everyone healthy and ready for the next stretch.

OU fans are all like "Why can't we have a great defense AND a great offense at the same time?!?!?!?!"

Heupel is all like: "You mean like us?"

 

[BigOrange15]

The only disrespect is coming from a minority of their goober fans. All national media has been anywhere from complementary to effusive.

 

[Jack Burton]

SIAP, but was there ever any indication as to why Heard was held out? AP seemed to be hinting that it might be something more than just simply being hurt.

Someone on here shared a rumor that Heard was supposed to travel with the team but backed out late in the week. Something about his agent telling him to heal more before playing again. If AP is hinting something this could be true.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we wanted this is what we got.

NIL.

What do you a @jave36 mean?

I still drive a 2005 Silverado. There ain't no blue tooth in there

Alabama fans even have Blue Tooth...
