OSU Football 2014

Anyone going to Dallas on August 30??

I wish that I could but have plans that prevent me from traveling.

Hard to make the trip to Dallas from NYC

But I just heard that TBP got Jerry Jones to drop the student ticket price for the game to $20. I doubt they'll be checking for student IDs in Dallas, so if you know a student and don't mind sitting in the upper deck, get them to buy you one of these deep discount tickets. Excited to see Jerry-World filled with bright orange!

I'll be there! I expect we'll the OSU/FSU balance to be about the same as it was for the Cotton Bowl!

Tons of students should be there!

That's about 25% of what they charge to park.

What are everyone's expectations/predictions for OSU in week 1? I don't expect to win by any means, and I will be surprised/pleased if the Cowboys can finish within two touchdowns of the 'Noles. But this young team has a lot of upside, so I hope to see more signs of good things to come on the field thanr forehead-slapping moments (see last year vs. WVU...).

My prediction is FSU - 42, OSU - 27, with one touchdown coming on a Tyreek Hill kickoff return.

One thing I like is that there really is no downside for OSU in week one, short of a devastating blowout. Everyone has low expectations (Florida being a 17 pt favorite last time I checked). So if OSU loses, it's an early season loss against a top rated team, and a game they expected to lose. However, if it's close at all, it will shatter some expectations for both OSU and FSU. And, if I'm FSU I'm thinking about the last time OSU went into a game as major underdogs (Baylor).

I will admit to being a die hard OU fan...but I personally cant wait to see this Tyreke Hill guy carry the rock. From everything I've heard...he is going to be ELECTRIC!!

I tend to hold back my hope for these high-hype guys that haven't seen a down of D1 football yet.... but speed is speed, and if this guy can get some open field he will be gone.

I would agree, as every year we hear about how this guy will be the next this or that. So, I don't want to be the douche bag that says, that I know a guy, that knows a guy...but, I do have a good friend who is a G.A. in Stillwater. And all signs point to this kid being the REAL DEAL.

I think Tyreek's fastest 40 time was 4.25 seconds? That easily puts him in the top 5 fastest players in FBS football.

[jerrywall]

A win would have been great, but I think OSU defied expectations today, and had a hell of a game. Proud of em.

You think he lived up to the hype or nah?

[Stew]

Yeah, yeah OSU beat expectations but once again couldn't make a few key plays in the fourth quarter to win. I think I actually would have felt better if FSU blew them out rather than another teaser. So close...

How often has an unranked team started the season 0-1 and yet moved into the top 25 when the next poll comes out? I think it probably could/should happen after this one, and I say this as an OU fan/alum. Nice game, Aggies.

The higher OSU ranks, the more an OU win against them will mean.

[Urbanized]

LOL is that how that works? I had no idea...

[bucfan1512]

Proud of the team that showed up this week. But yet I am still worried who will show for the next two games and if they will bring that same mindset with them.

Thank you! Your positive contributions really keep us all going!

Nobody is riding high after losing. At least OSU fans can count to 3. 75% of OU fans are toothless rednecks who didn't go to college.

[Richard at Remax]

I would say most of us OU fans can at least count to 7

Can we not turn this thread into a Bedlam/Flame thread? My god, the OU game is almost 3 months away. Let's keep the *****-measuring at a minimum until then.

Anyway. I'm excited for this next week's game against Missouri State so we can really see our team come together and unleash the weapons we have. The speed of Hill + Glidden is going to be a nightmare for any team to defend this year. I'm predicting OSU 59 - 10 Missouri State, with 2 missed Ben Grogran chip shot field goals and no points for MSU until the 4th quarter.

It's sad that his thread had to already take a nasty turn. Lets all try to stay on the classy side of things. In regards to your actual statement, do you have any literature to back up your 75% claim? Do you have a link, or a source to quote?

I do find it somewhat interesting though, being that this is always the first drivel out of an any offended cowboy fans mouth. On the surface it would seem to be an insult, but in all reality it is actually a backhanded compliment. You see......."Fandom" is created by something that is successful. Something that is popular, and something that everyone wants to be a part of. It's a natural phenomenon.

Fandom comes from Success.

OSU fans always want to be quick to point out, that they "actually went to OSU" and that's why they're a fan. Well, there is absolutely no reason to be an OSU fan if you didn't actually attend school there. None at all. So...yes, we know that you all actually went to school there.

[jerrywall]

How nice, the OU guys who come into the OSU thread and toss out OSU insults first, then call for class and civility. Gee.... thanks big brother.
