View Full Version : Big 12 Midseason Observations
onthestrip 10-30-2012, 07:28 AM It is against crappy Iowa State and crappy Frogs, anybody can limit those teams to 14 points, you should watch Oklahoma's State defense against the Longhorns
Again, the spread is 8. An opportunity for you to cash in if you think it'll be a blowout.
MonkeesFan 10-30-2012, 11:47 AM I think someone is still reeling from their team taking a beat down from a real Top 10 team on their home field. Time to focus on some Orlando Magic monkey...
Uhh, no, I am already over it, life moves on
OKCisOK4me 10-30-2012, 03:46 PM Again, the spread is 8. An opportunity for you to cash in if you think it'll be a blowout.
The spread was less than 10 with Tech and they blew them out. I do think our defense is better than Tech's but we have to play in Manhattan. We barely beat them at home last year as it was and you know our team is night and day since then. K State has only gotten better...

You may be surprised at how many OU fans will be behind OSU this weekend. OU needs KSU to lose badly.
onthestrip 10-31-2012, 01:32 PM OU needs KSU to lose badly.
As does OSU.

If they have teeth missing, they will not be in that category...
MonkeesFan 11-03-2012, 10:37 PM No it won't, Kansas State is going to blow them out, have you seen the terrible Cowboys' defense?
And I was right!
Hawk405359 11-03-2012, 10:39 PM K-State dominated takeaways. You can't win that game if you throw that many INT's.
Dustin 11-03-2012, 10:49 PM You had one job LSU... ONE JOB! Sigh.. I was hoping to see K-State #1.
ljbab728 11-03-2012, 11:23 PM Well, at least it's very unlikely we'll see two SEC teams in the championship game now. I think Les blew it in his game management tonight.
Just the facts 11-05-2012, 02:18 PM You had one job LSU... ONE JOB! Sigh.. I was hoping to see K-State #1.
Proof that the SEC is rigged. KSU game goes final and LSU lets Alabama win so an SEC team stays undefeated.

LSU already had one loss anyway...no way were they going to get back up there.
Hawk405359 11-10-2012, 08:08 PM You had one job LSU... ONE JOB! Sigh.. I was hoping to see K-State #1.
What was that now?
venture 11-10-2012, 10:04 PM What was that now?
Ummm...thanks A&M? Think the SEC is ready to send them back yet? LOL
Hawk405359 11-10-2012, 10:18 PM I like to think of A&M as a stealthy little assassin. They can't play well enough to win a conference, but they love ruining their conference's hopes for a national title. Of course, that depends on Oregon, K-State, and/or Notre Dame remaining undefeated. If two of them don't, Bama is in it again, and they may jump to third even if all three are undefeated after the end of the SEC title game.
venture 11-11-2012, 10:08 AM Don't forget as long as KSU wins out now, OU is almost a lock for Fiesta.
bluedogok 11-11-2012, 01:28 PM During one of the ABC/ESPN games last night their BCS Bowl projections had OU-A&M playing in the Fiesta Bowl.
Just the facts 11-11-2012, 01:37 PM So West Virginia, the pride of the Big East joins the Big XII and has lost 4 in row, meanwhile, the middle of the pack Aggies go to the SEC and knock off Alabama and are 5-2 in the conference.
Hawk405359 11-11-2012, 01:42 PM During one of the ABC/ESPN games last night their BCS Bowl projections had OU-A&M playing in the Fiesta Bowl.
I don't think A&M would be the school to get the second BCS bid from the SEC. THey have a few teams ahead of them.
Spartan 11-11-2012, 07:12 PM Don't forget as long as KSU wins out now, OU is almost a lock for Fiesta.
I don't know. Bedlam may be the most interesting game left in Big 12 play, as it always should be. Texas is also rallying and may be 10-15 when K-State plays them.
zookeeper 11-11-2012, 07:19 PM Don't forget as long as KSU wins out now, OU is almost a lock for Fiesta.
Very true and I don't see Kansas State losing. I think the Fiesta Bowl would be a great game for Oklahoma. I think KSU will be in the NCG, Collin Klein will win the Heisman with ease and Bill Snyder walks away as Coach of the Year. Snyder is one the best coaches to ever coach at the collegiate level.

You're right, and since nobody in the SEC thought a former Big XII team would contend, they hadn't yet explained all the rules!
Thanks Aggies? With A&M joining the SEC, the quality of football in both conferences has increased...
onthestrip 11-12-2012, 09:42 AM Don't forget as long as KSU wins out now, OU is almost a lock for Fiesta.
Lot of football left to be played. I wouldnt be saying OU is a lock for Fiesta with road games at WVU, TCU and at home vs OSU.
MonkeesFan 11-14-2012, 07:18 PM Lot of football left to be played. I wouldnt be saying OU is a lock for Fiesta with road games at WVU, TCU and at home vs OSU.
Sooners will defeat OSU at home but lose to West Virgina and Texas Christian
venture 11-15-2012, 10:13 AM Sooners will defeat OSU at home but lose to West Virgina and Texas Christian
I would almost say the reverse. OU is playing better on the road this year than at home. LOL
BoulderSooner 11-15-2012, 12:04 PM Don't forget as long as KSU wins out now, OU is almost a lock for Fiesta.
it is very possible that if KSU stays at #1 (giving the fiesta bowl 1st choice) that they select Notre Dame and OU goes to the Rose bowl
dankrutka 11-15-2012, 01:01 PM I would almost say the reverse. OU is playing better on the road this year than at home. LOL
Or... are they just playing better teams at home than on the road.
OKCisOK4me 11-15-2012, 01:04 PM Sooners will defeat OSU at home but lose to West Virgina and Texas Christian
West Virginia can't buy a win from a burning couch (something I heard they do when they win)...
They're lucky they even beat Baylor. If they beat OU then the world is truly upside down. OU is playing some of their best ball right now. As for my boys, I don't see us getting a victory in Norman. I predicted we'd win 7 or 8 game this year. I'm on track.
MonkeesFan 11-17-2012, 06:26 PM Oklahoma State beat the crap out of Texas Tech 59-21, it reminds me of the Sooners 65-21 beating years ago
OKCDrummer77 11-17-2012, 06:39 PM Oklahoma State beat the crap out of Texas Tech 59-21, it reminds me of the Sooners 65-21 beating years ago
Pretty close. How often do you see two blocked punts in the same game?
MonkeesFan 11-17-2012, 06:40 PM Pretty close. How often do you see two blocked punts in the same game?
Not very often!
Just the facts 11-17-2012, 07:17 PM West Virginia has the worst pass defense in the country - the worst! Why is OU running the ball? Jones should have 85 passing attempts tonight!!!!
MonkeesFan 11-17-2012, 08:15 PM Meanwhile, Kansas State is losing to Baylor 21-7
MonkeesFan 11-17-2012, 08:37 PM Sooners rushing defense is so embarrassing!
venture 11-17-2012, 09:13 PM Sooners rushing defense is so embarrassing!
What rushing defense? :-P
Edit: Or any defense for that matter.
Oklahoma's defense is probably one of the worst tackling defenses I've ever seen. If you're going to school to play football, you should know how to wrap up a ball carrier.
venture 11-17-2012, 09:55 PM Well KSU is done. OU is not in a good place right now.
venture 11-17-2012, 10:08 PM Holy crap.
My nerves...and heart. LOL
Hawk405359 11-17-2012, 10:08 PM OU squeaked that one out, but K-State reverted to 1998 K-State.
MonkeesFan 11-17-2012, 10:08 PM Sooners will defeat OSU at home but lose to West Virgina and Texas Christian
I was wrong about the Sooners losing to West Virginia but I was very close!
MonkeesFan 11-17-2012, 10:09 PM Sooners will probably drop in the polls again to #18 maybe?
MonkeesFan 11-17-2012, 10:09 PM I would not be suprised if the Sooners come to play against Oklahoma State next week
venture 11-17-2012, 10:15 PM Sooners will probably drop in the polls again to #18 maybe?
Hardly. They'll either stay put or go up a couple spots.
MonkeesFan 11-17-2012, 10:19 PM Hardly. They'll either stay put or go up a couple spots.
They do not deserve to stay or go up because they played their worst defense in the Bob Stoops era
Just the facts 11-17-2012, 10:25 PM Well KSU is done. OU is not in a good place right now.
The Big XII needs to hire the guy that does the scheduling for the SEC. While KSU is going to lose a conference game on prime time TV who did the SEC play today - without a single game being in prime time?
Western Carolina
Jacksonville St
Wofford
Georgia Southern
Alabama A&M
Sam Houston St
Syracuse
Samford
The SEC only had 2 conference games today and they only have 4 next week. So in the last 2 weeks of the season the SEC has a grand total of 6 conference games. By losing their games early all the SEC has to do is sit back and beat nobodies and wait for the other confernces to knock each other off in prime time. $10 says the SEC ends up with 2 teams in BCS game, and if there was a 4 team playoff they would have all 4.
Dustin 11-17-2012, 10:43 PM My god! K-State and Oregon just caused BCS chaos! WTF K-State?!?!

Mmhmm. This is insane on how they cupcake things at the end. I think it will also be crap if KSU falls more than to #4. It would definitely highlight the BS in the rankings when it comes to the SEC.
bluedogok 11-17-2012, 11:24 PM Since most SEC teams don't play much of an out of conference schedule CBS wants some decent conference games to show early in the year, you get the cupcakes for desert.

Biased much? I think Oregon and K State would have been happy with OU's defensive performance if they had won. It was hardly a work of art but in today's world a win is a win.

Agree...the comment was a bit on the drama queen side. Worst in the Bob Stoops era? Yeah...drama queen. LOL :)
It definitely showed the defense needs a lot of help still. However, the offense was also firing pretty well today.
Jerry Palm / CBS now have OU projected to go to the Sugar Bowl as an At-Large team vs. LSU.

That's assuming that K State Beats Texas and OU loses again, which is certainly no gimme now.
OKCisOK4me 11-18-2012, 12:38 AM OU's before WV running defense was #61. Will be interesting to see that dip after the new stats come out...

The 778 yards surrendered by Oklahoma were the most in school history, surpassing the 616 yards allowed in a loss to Baylor last year.
How can you call me a drama queen after that?

They also don't play each other as mush as many people think. The SEC has 3 teams that are 10-1 and 3 that are 9-2.
Spartan 11-19-2012, 09:23 PM I would not be suprised if the Sooners come to play against Oklahoma State next week
This. Everyone is talking about the Pokes being redhot (and underrated, which I can actually agree with) but OU is going to play their best football of the year. Last year was embarrassing and the Pokes are still a ways out from completely demystifying Owen Field.
Sooners are still stuck with the lamest qb in recent history, and still in line for a BCS bid..despite K-State's episode last weekend..they have a lot to be playing for. Bedlam will definitely be Bedlam this year.
dankrutka 11-19-2012, 10:22 PM Sooners are still stuck with the lamest qb in recent history
Man, Landry can't win. This fresh off one of the best QB games in OU history where he basically willed the team to victory.
I, like most good hearted people on the fast track to heaven despise the OSU cowboys and love the OU Sooners. That being said the Pokes are going to throttle the Sooners in Norman this coming Saturday. And that just makes me mad.
OSU 66 OU 31
OKCisOK4me 11-19-2012, 11:09 PM Spartan I can't believe you're one of those gooner fans. LJ is practically one of the best QBs the Sooners have ever had. He's thrown for over 3,000 yards every season he's played and joins the likes of maybe 4 other college quarterbacks who have done just so. As my Pokes head coach would say...you make me wanna puke. Have respect for your team leader...jeesh!

Remember 3 years ago that the Sooners were unranked and Oklahoma State was ranked #11 and Oklahoma State came to Norman and got shut out by the Sooners 27-0? It could happen again

That OSU team was already struggling as Zac Robinson had fallen apart. I don't see that happening again, but I'd love to see it.
