What other message boards are saying (Oklahoma Pre Game Edition)

[ankh83]

It feels really nice to have hatters again. It is starting to feel like the old days.

 

[midtnvol2]

I actually disagree. Like someone else said, I've never batted an eye when Ohio State or Alabama drops 70 on someone. The fact they are calling it classless tells me they are afraid.

(Plus we scored 6 points in the second half)

Yeah people forget thatthe rules say you have to line it and snap the ball. They ran very basic run plays most of the 2nd half. The other team is responsible to continue to play and they have to tackle. lets don't forget that their coach turned down the mercy rule for the 2nd half. (10 minute quarters with a no clock stoppage). I don't feel sorry for them.

 

[VolRage]

Classless???? Nico was pulled out of the game with 7 minutes left in the first half so……

[Delmar]

Huepel’s didn’t just take his foot off the gas, he turned the thing off and it still coasted well lol

But yeah, as much as people want to bitch about the onside kick, we really went as easy as we could in the second half. You can’t forget it wasn’t our idea to play the full 60mins, they decided not to accept the mercy rule

Exactly correct. The mercy rule could have been invoked and Kent didn’t want to do it and we certainly took it easy on them. It could have been 100 to 0 easily even with the 3rd string playing. (Thought Gaston Moore looked good.)

It may have been pointed out already but I believe the onside kick was the kicker’s call and not Josh’s. I think it’s automatic for the kicker if there is a huge gap in the front line which there was. I’m thinking they would have gotten on the kicker if he hadn’t done it. If the coaches called it then yes, I think that would be a bit much.

Looking forward to Oklahoma. It will tell us a lot about this team.

Bob Stoops was notorious for running up the score, especially when Oklahoma was the only Big XII team that actually played defense

 

[TAF]

Why not take advantage of a real time practice opportunity...

 

[beneVOLence]

CJH will absolutely run up the score if he gets a chance!

 

[Scot Harvath]

Now we know. Under that unassuming exterior of CJH lies a "stone cold killer" when it comes to football. New nickname for coach, Stone Cold Heup or (see what I did there with the or) SCH.

 

[volmanjr]

My favorite is the one about us being "rusty", well boys you all better get your tetanus shots updated cause WGWTA!

I agree it being kickers call. Bc there were a couple of other times they lined up exactly the same and TN kicked it deep. Probably told on sideline to always kick it deep the rest of game

 

[Volanta]

They’re stone cold killers and they will embarrass whomever and prove that they will not be messed with. There is a swagger about that team that truly frightens me.

True…

That was a gangsta comment. I reread it bc I liked it so much.

 

[The Original Fade]

Wow that's some gold! Favorite one was about the swagger. We baaaackkk!!

Tap the brakes a bit. We look really good but we haven’t played anybody yet. NC State is downright awful

 

[bicenTENNial]

"Tennessee ran the score up, it was classless" or whatever they said. We scored 2 FGs in the 2nd half lol

And a touchdown

 

[OrangeTsar]

-Curious why everybody thinks JH will run the score up? Hes still got love for OU and even talks to stoops from time to time. I think he will be on the short list of potential head coaches at OU in 2026.


Heupel ain’t leaving

Heupel is one of those rare coaches left who seems to combine elite competivness with a sense of gratitude. At least as long as AD White is here, he isn’t going anywhere; no matter how much money is on the table. We got a great one folks

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

And a touchdown

Not in the 2nd half, we kicked a FG in each quarter.

 

[OrangeTsar]

This was my fav and it’s true

We find out in Just under one week.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

To be fair, I get mad at Kiffin for doing it at Ole Miss, becuase I think he is intentionally trying to stat padd for some of his players/offense. Specifically I think he wants his offense to outperform ours on paper.

Perhaps, but we should all want Kiffin to succeed bigly at Ole Miss, or we might find him on the other side of the field when we play Gata next year. And knowing how much harder to recruit for Ole Miss than FU, (and given they are a top 10 team now) does anyone really want that?

Heupel ain’t leaving

I got a great chuckle out of that as well. He has built a powerhouse here. Why start over?

That is a side benefit of having a coach who was a Heisman level competitor. Same with Coach Majors. They never grew out of that stage and it shows (to our benefit)

OU and Nebraska used to score in the 70s all the time against the Kansas schools.

Nahh I'm mashing on the gas. Team's doing what they're supposed to do for the first time that I can ever remember. Only concern is Nico throwing int's in our big games against SEC opponents.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

For all the classless posts, they must have forgotten about them beating Arkansas State 73-0 last year or how about 2 years ago when Oklahoma beat Western Carolina 76-0.

OU is like the king of running up the score on inferior opponents.

Ya, I was laughing at that one also

 

[Hydro556]

Couldn't agree more.

We've played nobody.

I think we're good, I think we can beat OU.

I also think, once we line up against teams with 4 and 5 star talent on their offensive and defensive lines we will look NOTHING like we've looked the first 3 games.

Stresses me the hell out hearing all these fans behaving as though we've shown enough already to believe we're the best team in the country lol.

Its like they've never watched an SEC season unfold. OU Will not be a walk in the park.
