Do they not teach tackling in Stillwater?

@1

If they did it was taught by the same guy who taught them how to take proper angles. Good lord.

Ok state is just the common theme that you will be seeing the rest of the bowls from the Big 12, culminating in what I hope is a repeat of USC 55 Oklahoma 19 in the BCS NCG and a thorough dismantling of this notion that the Big 12 is the best conference.

@1 and 2

I think that was the thing that surprised me the most was that OSU D was fast enough, guys were there, but frickin fundamentals like tackle low and proper angles were out the window.

Wait just one doggone second…

Nolefan says, “… in what I hope is a repeat of USC 55 Oklahoma 19 in the BCS NCG…”

That would mean… a ’Nole fan is rooting for Florida… This. This just cannot be. It does not compute. My world has turned upside down.

More of a passive aggressive “rooting” if you will…

Or maybe reading this site all the time is making my thoughts irrational on occasion.

Yay! The #2 Pac-10 team pulled away from the #4 B12 team in the second half! Let’s all begin transitive analysis!

Not to say the B12 hasn’t been a bit overrated, it has, and OSU will beat Texas, and Florida will pummel
Oklahoma IMO.

However, that was quite an entertaining football game with some exceptional skill players last night- I;m hoping Texas Tech vs. Giggity will provide some of that too…

i feel like ass, and i blame you orson.

Until the Bachelor said it, I didn’t know that a prerequisite to being a fullback was fat ankles. [Jesse referring to Masoli as someone who looks like a fullback because he has fat ankles]. Craig James laughing hysterically afterwards. That deserved a glug.

I think the upcoming bowl gauntlett will put to rest the question of whether Big 12 south teams have incredible offenses or really shitty defenses. While the truth probably lies somewhere in between, I’m leaning toward the former.

Man, those were two piss-poor Ds on display last night. No wonder “I’m a man; I’m 40” doesn’t watch…

I meant I’m leaning towards the latter…

The undercard last night of Maryland v. Nevada was also a damn entertaining spectacle of non-tackling. The announcer has to have a HUGE man-crush on the recently fired Denver Broncos coach (Shannon?). He was personally offended at the very idea that the Broncos would fire him.

The B12 may be overrated, but after the last two BCS beatdowns, it’s hard to imagine anyone putting money on tOSU.

That hit by TJ Ward was the most violent of the college football season and the fact that Robinson popped right up from it was amazing, even though he was visibly hurt by it the rest of the game.

But the game didn’t turn on Robinson getting banged up or Bryant’s injury, it turned on Oregon giving up with being too tricky and going straight at Oklahoma St.’s D with the read option.

Tim Tebow wants his second Heisman back.

“But the game didn’t turn on Robinson getting banged up or Bryant’s injury”

Yeah, it did. Unless you believe that the 1st half was a mirage. Robinson had open receivers a-plenty, but missed them by least 5 yds in that 2nd half. And Bryant was the best player on the field, bar none. Don’t get me wrong, OSU’s D is terrible, but a not-in-coma Robinson would have helped matters for OSU.

Entertaining game.

Pac-10 is now 3-0 in Bowl Games, and could easily go 5-0 with Oregon St. and USC still to play.

Not that these are the most impressive bowl wins, and forgetting that the conference couldn’t even fill all of its bowl slots, but still, it’s something after a pretty pathetic year.

What the fuck is wrong with Okie State anyway?

No death threats toward someone from their fans.
No endless whining and extreme outrage from coaches and fans alike.
No vicious letter writing campaign from their university president, all accompanied by demands that this be stricken from the record…

That is what you are supposed to do after a loss, correct?

Yes, the injury to Dez Bryant was a huge factor, he was without a doubt the best player on the field.
But don’t cry to me about injuries, Cowboy fan. Masoli was the fifth string QB coming into fall camp because of injuries in front of him.
Also, an injury to Dennis Dixon knocked the Ducks from a sure fire trip to the Mythical National Championship as well as the Heisman.
Injuries happen, and that is just part of the game.
