Nice mistake OU.

I knew I should have picked KSU.

Read a few times that the honeymoon is over for Kliff, but fans I know still love him. Low expectations I guess

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, we're not truly outside of early expectations for him yet. Clearly on the low end, of course, but hiring a guy that young with the depth lurch that we were in after Tuberville left meant we knew there would be some growing pains. Walk-ons all over the field last season playing due to depth need, a 2014 DL recruiting class of 4 JUCO guys, only one QB on the roster after the Spring, etc.

He's getting a bit more leeway than most coaches would in this position due to that IMO. The alumni angle and his Tech playing career certainly help, of course, as does the fact that we have actually shown a pretty decent amount of improvement from the beginning of the season until now (especially on defense) and recruiting has been going very well thus far.

Getting bowl eligible this season is a longshot, but if we get to 4 or 5 wins (meaning we would have beaten at least one of TCU, UT, OU, BU, or ISU on the road) then I think the optimism will still be there leading into the offseason.

Also factor in how happy we are to not have this guy anymore -

That's probably worth a few losses by itself.

I like the play calls there. If they can't get a TD on three straight goal line runs then they deserve to lose.

e: Guess everyone deserves to lose a game to a dead kicker

 

[Kacar]

Oh my goodness OU....

 

[Velcro Fly]

Minnesota just had a dude come off the bench at the conclusion of a play and try to fight a Purdue player and did not get tossed.

 

[Branduil]

Every year is the year of the kicker in CFB.

 

[Monroeski]

Great. Just started feeling better about my pick 'em when OU gets stuffed at the goal, has their best RB get injured, then shanks an easy field goal.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Lol kickers

 

[Dsyndrome]

Oh my goodness OU....

No kidding, giving me plenty of ammo to give my brother shit about his school. Problem is, he and my other brother are in Tallahassee today and I'm not.

 

[Vanillalite]

Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain
Where the kicks hook left and K State commits theft
And State goes on to win the game!!!

 

[Branduil]

Would be funny if a safety happens now.

Edit: oh, I guess missed field goals go to the 20 now?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Great end to the first half of the Baylor WVU game, wouldn't have expected a 54 yd FG with WVU ahead.

WVU kicker is good. He kicked a 55 yrd last week to win the game. He got a job in the NFL if he continues this success

 

[Branduil]

That kicker looks mentally finished.

 

[unknownstranger]

Oklahoma kicker thinks he's playing soccer with that kick.

 

[Monroeski]

Ouch on our apparent injury list today.

@ChrisLevel: OUT today for #TexasTech (1/2): DL Demetrius Alston, WR Jordan Davis, DB JahShawn Johnson, DB Josh Keys, LB Chris Payne, OL Dom Robertson...

@ChrisLevel: OUT today for #TexasTech (2/2): DL Anthony Smith, DB Keenon Ward, DB John White (spec. teams ace). DT Marcus Smith is game-time decision.

Lot of defense on that list.

 

[Branduil]

That timeout really helped LOL.

 

[Velcro Fly]

yeah refs are definitely in for minnesota winning this game. calling that a 15 yard penalty is ridiculous

 

[squicken]

now I can not care about OU games like I don't care about A&M games

 

[Kacar]

Game over. Poor Stoopers.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Great noon game for Kansas State.

Now go tigers!

 

[RELAYER]

Losing by a point because the kicker nutted up.
Oklahoma.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I fucking cannot stand how football refs are making the game all about them. Bullshit fucking calls galore today all over the place. It's been like this all year in the NFL and it's the same shit in college now too. Now Purdue is losing a game they dominated because of bullshit penalties. I'm so fucking sick of teams winning or losing based on penalties or getting up and looking for a flag.

 

[Monroeski]

Let's go Iowa, score a TD and get me that sweet MoV point!

 

[Pimpwerx]

Can the Mountaineers pull out a win today? I hope so, just for the Top5 chaos. PEACE.

 

[Meier]

Trickett balling out. Still can't believe Coker isn't playing over Sims.

 

[Kacar]

Go Bucks.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Well that pick will do it. But a couple brutal penalty calls sure helped. Fuck

 

[Mac the KNife]

Iowa recovers onside kick.

 

[Yaboosh]

Every time I see an SEC game opener, I just think how Nickelback really isn't that bad.

It always reminds me that it gets so much worse.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Roll Tide! I've been worried about this game all season.

 

[Monroeski]

Penalty hurts us on our opening drive. Shocking.

 

[Yaboosh]

Baylor DC just looks clueless.

 

[LegoDad]

Kansas State!!

 

[Dsyndrome]

Oh my. Damn Baylor.

 

[Meier]

Another TD for Trick Daddy.

 

[perfectchaos007]

WVU got this now. Up 14 with 7 mins to go

 

[AntoneM]

West Fucking Virginia University.

Poor Big 12.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Blue Devils, y'all. Bowl eligible for an unthinkable 3rd year in a row.

For Purdue, the day the refs made it about themselves was the most important day in your program's history. For Pac-12 teams, it was Saturday.

 

[Surge]

Is the Baylor/WVU game on somewhere?

 

[Yaboosh]

Is the Baylor/WVU game on somewhere?

Fs1

 

[Branduil]

Glad we punted on 4th and 3 in California territory, that decision worked out really well.

Fire Mora.

 

[Kacar]

Sims so lucky wow.

 

[Pimpwerx]

That's why you play defense and not offense, Everrett. LOL. PEACE.

 

[Surge]

Fs1

Got it

Thanks

 

[theprodigy]

well let the 1-loss floodgates open, unless Baylor pulls off another comeback

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Horrible decision by Sims on that 3rd down.


The offense did look pretty good that drive though

 

[Yaboosh]

Got it

Thanks

Espn scoreboard always lists network, I usually use that when I can't find a game.

 

[truly101]

Duke wins!!!!! Bowl eligible for the 3rd year in a row. GG lone CFB Wahoo fan. May you win the rest.

 

[Meier]

Wow. Unlucky for Baylor.. how the hell did Cannon drop that?

Huh, Baylor punting. Color me shocked. Hoping to minimize the damage in terms of the final score perhaps?

 

[squicken]

bad drop but Petty had him wide open and made him adjust way too much

e: punt Briles have you seen your defense?
