[AnniePokely]

for those of us here!


Go Pokes!

[BackHomePoke]

pistols firing!

[BackHomePoke]

This sucks that we can't be there.

[legelegel]

I have had no luck connecting to the MVP Media Player.

[jaredddick]

Yahoo Sports offers up the audio feed for free now.

[BackHomePoke]

crap

[AnniePokely]

listening online at Kxy.com


Hunter 81 yards on 2 carries in the first quarter

[legelegel]

Saw the first TD on a sports break a few minutes ago.

Tulsa and N. Texas are on TV right now. :mad:

[BackHomePoke]

2 player already out of the game. Crap

[AnniePokely]

Artrell and Luciene hurt...dagnabbit.

[legelegel]

Crowd sounds very loud. I assume it's too early for an attendance figure?

[osutuba]

I have had no luck connecting to the MVP Media Player.
You have to click on the Live Events tab then select the Houston game to get it to play. I had the same problem.

[legelegel]

You have to click on the Live Events tab then select the Houston game to get it to play. I had the same problem.

I've tried that several times, but it continues to get stuck in the Connecting ... mode.

:huh2:
I'm glad the airways still work.

[legelegel]

If they keep this up, the game will be over at about 10:00 pm.

[JimBob]

Crowd sounds very loud. I assume it's too early for an attendance figure?

Believe they said about 46k.

[BackHomePoke]

crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[legelegel]

They just said the WEZ looks like it is 95% full.

[CanadianCowboy]

ball separation is a problem...for both teams, but we need to stop that crap and THEY need to give up possession of theirs

[irish_poke]

Im listening on MVP but its in and out. I think it might have something to do with my location though. Its was perfect when I heard our second fumble just now.

[legelegel]

Houston controlled the clock in the first quarter and they are getting a good start in doing it again in the 2nd.

[JimBob]

So, when are we going to play our "improved" defense?

[irish_poke]

Hopefully sometime soon. Is houston going to get all the breaks this game?

[CanadianCowboy]

if we can start recovering just SOME of the fumbles the D is causing, you will stop complaining about our improved defense

[AnniePokely]

First quarter stats:

Houston
Keenum: 9-15 100 yards

OSU
Robinson: 5-9 81 yards, 1 INT

Hunter: 3 for 88 yards

Dez: 3 for 40 yards
Pettigrew: 2 for 41

[legelegel]

Houston 10-7 early in the 2nd Qtr.

[BackHomePoke]

OSU Hou
TOTAL OFFENSE PLAYS/NET YARDS 16 /179 33 /167
AVERAGE GAINED PER PLAY 11.2 5.1

[irish_poke]

What is the attendance today?

[CanadianCowboy]

the offense needs to get into its rhythm....the defense is doing OK. Sounds like the O might be getting closer to working out the kinks

[Boss 24]

Say what you want about TailbackU...we've had some damn fine wide rec. Go Dez

[BackHomePoke]

the offense needs to get into its rhythm....the defense is doing OK. Sounds like the O might be getting closer to working out the kinks


They haven't stopped us, we have. Unless you count an interception in the end zone after marching down the field. We just need to finish.:violent-smiley-017:

[CanadianCowboy]

irish...announcers said a bit ago that the WEZ is about 95% full, but the ticket count is only about 46k

[legelegel]

It's a good visual companion while you are listening to the game.

[AnniePokely]

Thanks to Justin Wilmeth of Rivals, here's a picture of the west end zone tonight. Announcers guess 47,000.

thats basically what I'm saying....untypical bad plays/turnovers getting us, but we have a good foundation to start with. Just coach-tweaks and adjustments. AND HANG ONTO THE DAMN BALL.

[irish_poke]

I love the picture! Its making me homesick! I can see where I would be sitting! I love great catches too!

[legelegel]

Thanks to Justin Wilmeth of Rivals, here's a picture of the west end zone tonight. Announcers guess 47,000.

That's a great picture. Who said we wouldn't fill up the place. 60,000 will come soon this year.

Looks sweet.:music-smiley-005:

[BackHomePoke]

Crappppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[irish_poke]

You have got to be kidding me.

[AnniePokely]

Three turnovers? What's happened to Zac?

[CaliforniaCowboy]

he's got Bobbyites....

you folks are going to hate me for saying it... but he's not running so he won't get hurt because he's to important to lose to injury in his mind... coaches should have played Cate or Weeden last week just to relieve some pressure.

[irish_poke]

You would think being at home with the endzone opened up we would be playing flawless

[CanadianCowboy]

this is NOT how I wanted this game to get exciting....sitting here with CoachOSU listening to MVP provides some interesting commentary. Coach's last quote: "This is like listening to sh!% dry slowly...":furious3: :food-smiley-007:

[BackHomePoke]

Come on guys, lets calm down and cut out those stupid mistakes and put some points on the board.

[irish_poke]

We HAVE to get some more points on the board before the half!

[legelegel]

Just run it right at 'em and right up their throats.

[legelegel]

We HAVE to get some more points on the board before the half!

We did.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

That's more like it

[irish_poke]

PISTOLS FIRING!!! I wonder how delayed MVP is?

[AnniePokely]

YESSSS

Maybe i'm jinxing us. I left the computer to go give mom meds, and we get a TD.

[legelegel]

16 Cougars
14 Cowboys

1:23 2nd Qtr.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

PISTOLS FIRING!!! I wonder how delayed MVP is?

evidently quite a bit.

[BackHomePoke]

Just run it right at 'em and right up their throats.


I would run it until they prove that they could stop us.

[AnniePokely]

Our D stinks.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Dez and Hunter are having big games statistically, so far...

dang turnovers

[BackHomePoke]

That was close. Maybe a few more breaks will go our way.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Penalty saves us!!!

[irish_poke]

Thank God

[CaliforniaCowboy]

shoot... the ESPN gametracker is ahead of MVP right now.

[legelegel]

Our D stinks.

We'll make some adjustments at half.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

297 yards by the Poks already!!

and losing

[Boss 24]

We'll make some adjustments at half.


That is the most profound thing you have ever said dude. (Insert wiseass smiley here)


jk

[BackHomePoke]

I think that we must of switched QB's. I swear that is the Zac we know playing for Houston.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

bad snap on the FG... yea!!!

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Statistically we're beating them in every category... except turnovers..

but still, 3 TO's in the half and only behind by 2... I think this is in the bag if we can calm down and play some clean ball.

[legelegel]

That is the most profound thing you have ever said dude. (Insert wiseass smiley here)jk

We'll it's adjustments or we'll need to pull out the Kryptonite for that QB and that track star.

[legelegel]

Cowboys get the ball at the beginning of the 3rd Qtr.

http://www.okstate.com/liveStats/newLiveStats.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=200&DB_LANG=C&KEY=&SPID=143&SPORT_ID=143&GAME_STAT_ID=91982

[Boss 24]

We'll it's adjustments or we'll need to pull out the Kryptonite for that QB and that track star.


I hear you. I would hate to be in the locker room right now.

[irish_poke]

I wish I had halftime beers

[legelegel]

I guess everyone noticed we didn't punt the ball once in the first half, because we were too busy giving it back to Houston other ways.

[irish_poke]

Whats going on with Zac any thoughts?

[legelegel]

I hear you. I would hate to be in the locker room right now.

I'm sure there was a race to all four corners of the room.

[legelegel]

Whats going on with Zac any thoughts?

Girl problems?

[CanadianCowboy]

I agree with both CCWest and legelegel....3 TO's in the half KILLED us (all on Zac's account) but finding the handle and getting the rhythm on O and we will be fine. With the exception of two blown coverages, our D has played very well...LOTS of negative yardage plays and flushes, LOTS of separation of the ball from the carrier. We need to recover some of those forced fumbles and turn the tables. BUT we CAN'T let Keenum and that track star of a wideout get loose any more! THEY HAVE GOT TO BE CONTAINED! Second half prediction...all Orange. 48-16

[legelegel]

We did even up the time of possession.

[legelegel]

I really think we will come back and run the ball on them and score. Then hold them and score again with a good running game.

[wood911]

This is really making me nervous. even with their QB having a good game we would still be winning except for the turnovers. The mistakes have got to stop Houston isn't great but they are good enough to beat us with our help.

[irish_poke]

I really think we will come back and run the ball on them and score. Then hold them and score again with a good running game.

I really hope so. Zac needs to get his head straight during halftime and come out fresh.

[BackHomePoke]

A quote from the movie Forest Gump, "Run Forest Run!"

[legelegel]

This is really making me nervous. even with their QB having a good game we would still be winning except for the turnovers. The mistakes have got to stop Houston isn't great but they are good enough to beat us with our help.

I have always had that nervous feeling watching or listening to Cowboy football. I hope to get over some of these feelings before I died. That's what has always been fun to me about Cowboy football.

I would hate to be a Sooner fan and look forward only to slaughters every game and be disappointed when I didn't see blood on the field.

[irish_poke]

hahaha

[legelegel]

Gundy saw what we saw.

Our offensive line is going to work 'em over.

[BackHomePoke]

That's what I'm talking about, Run Forest Run!

[AnniePokely]

Some slaughters every game wouldn't hurt my feelings

[irish_poke]

The coaches must have checked the board during halftime

[CaliforniaCowboy]

We've got 3 good TBs plus Zac... just keep running it.. run the clock and keep it out of Zac's (I mean Houstons) hands.

[legelegel]

Some slaughters every game wouldn't hurt my feelings

I do so love wrestling slaughters. I'm sure I could get use to football slaughters too. :)

[CaliforniaCowboy]

we won't lose the lead from here on out... CC guarentee

(for what it's worth)

[CanadianCowboy]

The coaches must have checked the board during halftime
CoachOSU & I are laughing out loud at that one! (but agree wholeheartedly) :music-smiley-005::koolaid::cowbell::food-smiley-007:

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Cal is up 52-3 over WSU in the 3rd...

[BackHomePoke]

Yesssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[legelegel]

So do we pass here?

Nope

[AnniePokely]

we won't lose the lead from here on out... CC guarentee

(for what it's worth)




If we lose you're banned for life

[CaliforniaCowboy]

you guys... I don't know what happened yet.

[CanadianCowboy]

There we go....ball separation, baby! AND WE GOT THAT ONE!!

[CaliforniaCowboy]

okay, fumble.. yeah!

[AnniePokely]

Dagnabbit Zac

[legelegel]

Zac is trying too hard to impress some girl.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

If we lose you're banned for life

Lose? I said we won't even lose the lead.

[irish_poke]

this time delay is killing me . . . the government should pay for high speed internet

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Arkansas losing to La-Monroe at the half

[buster t daddy]

wow osu has come to life the 3rd quarter is kind to us.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

this time delay is killing me . . . the government should pay for high speed internet

I've got high speed internet... that's not the problem... it's just delayed slightly, probably due to conversion or something.

[irish_poke]

i guess being on the other side of the world is somewhat of an issue . . . but bitching is what i do best :)

[CaliforniaCowboy]

230 yards rushing..

Hunter 176, Toston 55

[buster t daddy]

the wrs look flat except for Dez bryant we need the other guys to step up. but our rbs are looking fantastic. just think one more good recruiting class should get us to the next level . do any of you agree ?

[legelegel]

16 Cougars
28 Cowboys

1:23 3rd Qtr.

[CanadianCowboy]

CoachOSU says, "I want SOMEONE on D to LIGHT HIM UP!" (speaking of Keenum)

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Tonga and Swanson are having good games...

[legelegel]

... just think one more good recruiting class should get us to the next level . do any of you agree ?

I think we're in very good shape in players who put their foot on the ball.

[CanadianCowboy]

All Orange, All The Time!

[BackHomePoke]

[legelegel]

[AnniePokely]

Wow, was that Gundy yelling at the officials that i just heard?

[irish_poke]

Yeah it was!!! That was awesome!

[legelegel]

Does bullet have a backup?

[CanadianCowboy]

CoachOSU wants to know.....any word on Artrell Woods and Lucien Antione??

[BackHomePoke]

CoachOSU wants to know.....any word on Artrell Woods and Lucien Antione??

All I heard was leg injury.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

both with leg injuries, not returning today... I haven't heard anything else.

[Verb]

I just tuned in. Are Woods and Antoine hurt??

[CaliforniaCowboy]

I think it's knees for both.

[Verb]

Oh no! Not Woods! That's just not fair.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Chatham was having problems earlier... I think he's hobbled... now Swanson out, under his own power.

[Verb]

Good god....have we lost our entire defense?

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Donaldson is in at DT now... we're really having problems with injury

[legelegel]

23 Cougars
35 Cowboys

06:03 3rd Qtr.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

we've given up 328 in offense now... still time in the 3rd.

[CanadianCowboy]

we've given up 328 in offense now... still time in the 3rd.
yes, but the Good Guys have 552:cowboy:

[buster t daddy]

Oh no! Not Woods! That's just not fair.

I hate to hear this especailly with how hard he has worked.

[buster t daddy]

we sure seem to be letting Houston thow all over us sounds like the same ole same ole according to the radio.

it seems like we ought to go get more defensive tackles because Sawnson Miller just went out with a injury.

[legelegel]

23 Cougars
42 Cowboys

3rd Qtr.

[buster t daddy]

I am sure glad we have Orie Lemon instead of Cleo Lemon. Booker is having a good game . I hope we dont have anymore injuries.

[legelegel]

[AnniePokely]

Hunter now has 202 yards rushing and is averaging 10.1 a rush and two touchdowns. Dez has 236 yards receiving and three scores.

[OSU_Fan_In_KS]

I just got online and got the Mozilla updated to listen to the game. Just in time to hear Hunter score.

[Verb]

I'm very worried about the D. How many players are out right now?

[CaliforniaCowboy]

that Keenum is a one-man team

[PokesFanatic]

I'm very worried about the D. How many players are out right now?

Three. Chatham, Woods, and Antoine.

[gostate95]

that Keenum is a one-man team

yet again we make a no-one look like an all american

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Dez and Pettigrew the only one's with catches..

[legelegel]

30 Cougars
49 Cowboys

8:02 4th Qtr.

The over/under was 53 1/2.

[Boss 24]

We really need to stop the bleeding on defense. They have 415 yds tot off right now. Sheesh

[legelegel]

We still have not punted the ball tonight.

[Verb]

This defense is terrifying me. Lord have mercy...

[Verb]

Is it wrong to wish the offense could slow down and milk the clock a little?

[legelegel]

Is it wrong to wish the offense could slow down and milk the clock a little?

Yes, it is. Full speed ahead. :)

[CaliforniaCowboy]

well... I took the over and the Pokes to cover... but 8 minutes left!!

[OSU_Fan_In_KS]

Did they say it was starting to rain?

[CanadianCowboy]

This defense is terrifying me. Lord have mercy...
Just remember that UH emulates TTek...and they will put up gaudy O numbers on everyone they play. Me...not worried. uo and Texass would see the same numbers if UH played them. after seeing how vulnerable uo was against Cincinnati's pass offense today, no doubt in my mind that UH would hang half a thousand (yards) on them.:food-smiley-007:

[BackHomePoke]

We've given up a ton of yards but how many broken up passes have we have?

[legelegel]

30 Cougars
56 Cowboys 7:28 4th Qtr.



The zebras are just no fun at all.

[OSU_Fan_In_KS]

Dez is amazing!!!

[BackHomePoke]

So does the game MVP go to Hunter or Dez?

[CaliforniaCowboy]

go Dez... can we start talking Heisman yet?

[Boss 24]

Canadian said half a thousand. That's funny

[CaliforniaCowboy]

We really need to break 60 ... just because.

[legelegel]

We really need to break 60 ... just because.

70 is in reach. :)

[Verb]

Holy smokes! Is there NOTHING Dez can't do?

[buster t daddy]

go Dez... can we start talking Heisman yet?

yes ! hey Cali why dont you promote DEZ for Heisman I will back you and call espn.

we need to recruit more dts that much is for sure . dont you guys really miss ole Joqua Parker and kevin Williams .

[CaliforniaCowboy]

we need a stop

[OSU_Fan_In_KS]

He hasn't thrown a touchdown.........yet!

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Dez is promoting himself for Heisman.

[osutuba]

30 Cougars
56 Cowboys 7:28 4th Qtr.



The zebras are just no fun at all.
They've started getting more strict about celebration penalties

[Verb]

Maybe we could get him to play defense, too? :D

[CaliforniaCowboy]

[legelegel]

Well hell. I wanted a 70-30 score.

37 Cougars
56 Cowboys

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Dang!

PSYCH!

[CanadianCowboy]

Canadian said half a thousand. That's funny
I'm glad someone was paying attention....:food-smiley-004:

:food-smiley-007:

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Pokes scored on every possession in the 2nd half!!

[WAHOOS14]

Ok ZR. NO blocking when your up big with less than 3 minutes left.

[legelegel]

Run that score up. :)

[CanadianCowboy]

:food-smiley-004:looking 700 yards of offense in the face right now.....let's get them!:food-smiley-004:

:food-smiley-007:

[CanadianCowboy]

[CanadianCowboy]

[legelegel]

699 yards, 72 plays

[CaliforniaCowboy]

The crowd sounds great... and appreciative.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Dang... even Beau ended up with 66 for a 6.6 average

[Verb]

Do we know how many people were there?

[osutuba]

699 yards, 72 plays
210 of those by Hunter and nearly 240 by Dez ... and 7 TDs between them!

[CanadianCowboy]

Great Win To Christen The New Bps - Fan Side!

[OSU_Fan_In_KS]

Do we know how many people were there?

Something like 42,000 if remember earlier post.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

Arkansas State scored 83 tonight... wow.

[BackHomePoke]

The tale of 2 halves.

[CanadianCowboy]

Something like 42,000 if remember earlier post.
46k or 47k with a nearly full WEZ was said earlier....no way it was 42k

[Verb]

42K is kind of disappointing.

[osutuba]

They said it was 42,001

[BackHomePoke]

46k or 47k with a nearly full WEZ was said earlier....no way it was 42k

It should be fuller next week.

[legelegel]

46k or 47k with a nearly full WEZ was said earlier...

Yes, 46,000 plus and 95% full in WEZ

This :cool: picture of the crowd was posted earlier in the thread:

http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/7516/bpswezfy2.jpg

[Verb]

Check out the stunning pano shot in the "beautiful sight" thread above--a full, beautiful, VERY ORANGE West End Zone! How GLORIOUS!

[Verb]

Yes, 46,000 plus and 95% full in WEZ

This was posted earlier in the thread:

Honestly, I can hardly believe it! Isn't it WONDERFUL!

[legelegel]

Honestly, I can hardly believe it! Isn't it WONDERFUL!

Yes, it all makes a Poke very proud.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

reportedly 3,000 of the 4,000 club seats sold.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

45.000 would be the highest attended since Vince Young came to town

[OSU_Fan_In_KS]

Good night all, will await your comments and game analysis starting tomorrow.

[buster t daddy]

Something like 42,000 if remember earlier post.

well if that is the case then osu isnt doing a very good job of attracting more fans and you know who will bring this up monday .

i hate to say it but the texas tech game looks like it will be a long day for our defense but damn our offense is so much better then their offense.


well the good is that we have talent , we have really good receivers if we could get cooper , connor , and Broadway to step up.

one thing is for certain Orie Lemon is not Cleo Lemon I sure howe we can recruit a big star dt or two to beef up that defense.

[AnniePokely]

Attendance 45,001. The record is 51k from a Bedlam game in the late 70s.



I'm betting Dez will not see a senior year at OSU

[legelegel]

I wish that 42,000 total was never suggested. It was 46,000 plus.
