The real first test for Mizzou

I would hope Pinkel and christiansen used the Tejas tape to find more ways to expose the OU defense with Coffman and Rucker. unfortunately, i doubt they will learn anything from the film and just go in with what got them beat last year.

OU is good, that CU loss is a farce, a team got up, pulled the parachute, tried to coast, then tried to restart and got caught coasting into Tejas game. That wont happen this week, OU had their letdown,MU wont get the needed pressure to get to Bradford and it could be a long day on Defense, a shootout.

There is no doubt the Mizzou offense is one of the best in CFB this season, but getting pass happy and refusing to run the ball will be their downfall again. Daniel running 4-6 times a game could bite them in the ass, he takes the hits, doesnt try to slide and save himself from taking the big hit, he could learn a tough lesson one of these games.


If this game was in columbia this year, i would think we have a decent shot, but in Norman i dont see it happening, Pinkel and company have proven they cant win big games on the road, actually, cant win on the road vs decent to good teams at all.

Should be a good game to watch, both qb's should have big numbers, watching Rucker week in and week out has been a joy, if he isn't First Team All-American, the award is a joke, he is top TE in country and a homegrown kid to boot, his brother was great at nebraska, and MU was lucky to get him to wear the black-n-gold, and here's to him going out on a high note this season.

That all changes come Saturday. This is a very confident team, and won't be intimidated by the Sooner mystique, no matter the venue.

You say OU's good? Mebbe so, but color me less than overwhelmed by their last two games.

OU may be good, but I believe MU is better. Offensively, their exploits are well documented. Chase Daniel is now being mentioned as a Heisman contender, and you know what? If he keeps up at his current pace, he just might make a worthy candidate. If not this year, certainly next.

As for MU's defense, they showed what their capable of the other night. No one expected them to shut down Nebraska, but that's exaxtly what they did. They're much better than their reputation would suggest. That said, even I'm not homer enough to think they're going to shut down OU in Norman, but they'll show up.

Talent wise, I say we match up with OU very well on both sides of the ball and on special teams.

So what it really comes down to is coaching. Can Pinkel avoid making any disastrous game management decisions that have always bit us in the ass? Lordy, I hope and pray so. The guy really has changed since that kid (can't remember his name off the top of my head) died during voluntary spring workouts last year. They say he's much closer to his players now, and not such an authoritarian asshole 24/7 like he used to be. Now, will that translate into good decision making in a tight game? We'll see.

Tigers 38
Sooners 35

I remember when we were supposed to be the real test for Mizzou :(

If this were in Columbia I'd pick Mizzou to stay undefeated. In Norman I gotta go with OU, though they haven't looked stellar the last two weeks that should make them come-in ready for a war. Should be a hell of a game. Laying waste to Neb was a nice confidence-builder, Mizzou should be sky-high for this one.

My predictions for the game...

- Either Mizzou has a TE go for over 100 yards receiving and a TD...
- Or OU pulls Reynolds, except in run-stopping / blitz packages early.

- Either Bradford throws NO picks...
- Or OU doesn't have a single back break 100 yards.

- Mizzou WILL have a back break 100 yards.

- Malcolm Kelly will break 100 yards IF Bradford doesn't get sacked at all. If he does, Iglesias will break 100 yards.

- Chase Daniel will only throw for 300 yards if Mizzou goes down by 14 in the first half.

- Bradford will perform well enough to continue to earn my already well-established mancrush on him.

Errr...

Where's OU fan?

I know this place is infested with them.

I'm starting to think you guys don't even take this game seriously. That's all fine and dandy. You can play the aloof card, but be on notice that the Tigers intend to go down there to stomp a mudhole in your overrated football teams ass, rape your homely women, and then drink whatever passes for beer in your coolers.

You Sooner slackers good with that scenario?

the_ouskull wrote: - Mizzou WILL have a back break 100 yards.

If that happens, you're burnt toast.

Seriously, I doubt that's going to happen. The Mizzou running game is an inside joke, only used to milk the clock and turn their 2 minute TD drives into 3 minute TD drives. They don't even use it as way to keep the defense honest, but more as a way to give their wide array of clutch receivers a breather in between wind sprints. They know they can move the ball downfield at will anytime, on anybody.

But don't play man to man, because as soon as you turn your back, Daniel will take off running and you'll have to errr... Chase him. <-------bait That was so lame, I'm hanging my head in shame.

the Tigers could cause OU some trouble.
the better the OU run game the better off they are.
200+ yards of ground game keeps Chase off the field.
that's where I want to see him.
he WILL get his completions and yards but as long as OU can keepem to field goals here and there I know OU can score with them.
OU 38

We defend Mizzou's type of offense well, and have for many years. Daniel is a REALLY special QB, and I think it's ridiculous that he's not getting more Heisman hype, but we defend that stuff pretty well. On the other hand, when we're defending that well, we usually aren't defending the run as well, and this year's crop of linebackers aren't covering or tackling very well. I just see you guys being able to run out of the spread, realizing it, and starting to do more of it while Stoops adjusts for it less and less.

If you have a gamebreaking back and he can spring for a couple of long TD runs... we could be in trouble.

Every year, some bottom-dwelling, Johnny-come-lately struts into Norman thinking its "their year", only to be plunger-raped back to obscurity. Big Game Bob may have lost some of his swagger away from Owen Field but he's still nails at home. This year will be no different.

Missouri may move the ball and score a few points but Daniel will be neutered thanks to OU's sustained drives through Mizzou's swiss-cheese run defense. Prepare for #23, #7, and #29 over and over and over until you puke up all that 3.2 beer graciously given to you by OU fan. And if Pinkel dares stack the line to stop the run, you'll get an up close look at Sam Bradford, Malcolm Kelly, Juaquin Iglesias, and Jermaine Gresham. OU-42 MU-20

If OU fan is slow to respond, it's because we've seen this rant before. In fact, I think I've seen this EXACT rant before. Wasn't Missouri fan spewing the same bullshit one year ago before our WR playing QB punked you in your own crib with AD sitting on the sidelines?

Enjoy your week in the spotlight. Hey, you even get to be mentioned on ESPN Gameday. Good for you...will this be the first time? It may be your last. At least until the next time you manage to string together a few good wins and step on the stage with a real college football program only to be exposed all over again.

Hey, the 'skers weren't a bottom-dwelling, johnnie-come-lately back in 2000. We were still a national power back then, would've played FSU for it all in 99 if not for a fumble on the 1ft line against Texas. Finished in the top10 in 2000 if I remember correctly.

^^^^

Point taken. Nebraska removed...although there was some serious "over-rated" smack coming from Lincoln.

My post was just to stoke Wags' fire. I actually think the game will be very competitive. Looking forward to attending.

Thanks, and I apologize for my abusive brethrens' ill-considered remarks in 2000. But you got 'bode on them, that is what counts.

Now that's what I'm talking about... some honest to goodness smack coming out of Soonerfan, and I am so not disappointed.

Past few seasons for Mizzou and Pinkel:

2006 started 6-0 ended 8-5--conference 4-4 (i believe we heard all about the MU D last year too. show me a game against a quality opponent this year Nu has run the ball effectively)

2005 started 5-2, ended 7-5--conference 4-4
2004 started 4-1, ended 5-6--conference 3-5
2003 started 5-1, ended 8-5--conference 4-4

hmmm?

This is Pinkel's best team and Daniel is a player....but until i see it: "show me".

and don't post that this year OOC's road schedule was murderer's row, and don't mention Ole Miss. I've seen the gymnastics on Tiger boards trying to trick that into some big thing.

Can MU win this game, sure. But until it happens....the burden is on Pinkel.

Oklahoma has won 16 of the last 17 against Missouri.

Stoops has only lost 2 home games in his entire time in Norman.

The game is later than normal, 5:30 kickoff: that bodes well for OU.

Sorry Huskers, but beating Nebraska is not that big of a deal in this time and day, but congrats Missouri.

I will just call it

No, the burden is on YOU. We're 9 point dogs, while you arrogant fucks are already looking past Mizzou and talking about a National Championship.

This from a team that lost to Colorado and barely got by a shitty Tejas team.

...you think you're playing a scrimmage? Or does Sooner fan have some really good drugs that kick in once the sun goes down? Flashbacks much?

Ah, no. You're not calling anything, unless you have a doctor you really trust. I'd go on, but since you're a good 'ol boy Led Zep fan who obviously got all his brain cells fried somewhere along about 1977 on peyote amongst other hallucinogenic drugs, you gets a pass.

I wants the Big OU Burger King Cahuna. I wants froz.

Oh, and orc or RF might try to step to this also, depending on their schedule.

Bring it boys. I want the whole Sooner Nation to chime in.

<--- Big Shoulders, and something tells me I'm going to need them.

Hard for me to get a read on this game.

Both teams coming off incredibly physical rivalry games, with OU surviving on a neutral field against a better opponent than is Nebraska, and Mizzou at home crushing a weaker team than is Texas.

My intuition tells me Mizzou is going to compete in this game; i.e. they may not win, but they'll cover.

Advantages for Mizzou:
1. They run the spread offense, which, in addition to the talent that has been allocated around CF these days, has pretty much led to major upsets. The spread allows any one team to beat another, on any given day or night, Florida notwithstanding.
2. Martin Rucker. Good God, dude is a monster playmaker.
3. OU's special teams may still not have pulled their heads out of their asses.

Advantages for OU:
1. Sam Bradford. the_ouskull has a well-established man-crush. 'nuff said.
2. DeMarco Murray, a star in the making.
3. OU's special teams may have pulled their heads out of their asses.


All that being said, this could be the scorefest that some of you were predicting for NU/MU.

OU: 31
MU: 30

And everyone in this state calling for Brent Venables's head.

Mr.Kiffin won that Super Bowl for my BUccs, Gruden was just a passenger and along for the ride.

Chris Browm starts the game and the running game suffers for it. He just looks like he is in slow motion when compared to every other back in our backfield. DeMarco will take over by the midway point of the 2nd quarter and still get at least 100+ yards on the day.

Missouri will score they have two of the best at the main position we have had trouble covering and run the exact kind of routes we have struggled with all game long. Reynolds and Lofton are going to have to grow up quickly in this game; they are going to be tested more in coverage than they even were last week by Finely.

yes, when you start claiming Ole Miss as a "Big Win", or a real OOC. you don't see OU fan trumpeting OU's OOC. it's called an objective fact (actual wins and losses), not a partisan, homer reach around though i suspect you don't know the difference. and truly a lame responsei in toto insofar as you completely take the info i provide about how Pinky hits the skids after "quick starts" out of the post (without even a sniff to defend it)...and then say the burden is on OU....with some nonsensical remark about OU being 9 point faves.

you've developed an interesting thesis in this thread, though it sounds more like paranoia and whine because you don't get any respect than the "sooner as arrogant" one you've decided to tie your dog and pony show too. maybe if you played more games as or against top 15 to top 10 teams you wouldn't be dry-humping yourself which such irrational, sadistic glee.

Physcial is an excellent word to describe the Mizzou/Neb game. Neb got its prostate checked quite thoroughly.

I never said beating Ole Miss was a big win, but only defended their OoC schedule when called on it by others. It sure beats losing that game though, yes?

So what about beating Illinois? Was that a "Big Win"?

it's called an objective fact (actual wins and losses), not a partisan, homer reach around though i suspect you don't know the difference.

Objective facts:

Your team has played a weaker schedule that Mizzou thus far, and your team has lost, while MU hasn't.

Objective enough for you?

Huh? Lame is as lame does, and that butcher job of an English language paragraph was indeed "lame". Let me see if I can't respond to it in terms that even you can understand. That might me tough, since gibberish seems to be what you majored in.

Pinkels past sins are not under discussion here, as they're completely irrelevant. Pinkel doesn't block or tackle. Let me repeat that statement for emphasis sake. Pinkel doesn't block or tackle. If Sooner fans main argument for winning this game is that coaching will make the difference, then you might as well just throw in the towell now. Mizzou fan can say that, YOU can't. Capiche?

And yes, the burden is on the Sooners, since the oddsmakers and most others think that MU is going to take a dump. As well, OU needs this game more than the Tigers do. We're playing with house money at this point. I really hope you don't need a detailed explanation for that.

It's called calling out another teams fanbase and there's nothing paranoid, irrational, or sadistic about it. But yes, there's a bit of glee.

See, I believe that MU is going to win. Because we're the better team. You may console yourself with past accomplishments , we're going to revel in current BODE.

Actually, as long as points get properly conveyed, I don't really care. But there's a couple of serious "dont's" when it comes to spelling and grammar --

1) DON'T use "Soonerfan," "Hornsfan," or any other variant of your school's name or mascot if you don't know the difference between "there, they're, and their." Don't do ANYTHING to suggest you attended any sort of institute of higher learning if you have no grasp of basic English, or don't know which side of the quotation marks the periods and commas go. It makes you look like a fucking idiot, and any "institution of higher learning" that even let you through the front door with those horribly lacking skills should have their accreditation revoked.


2) DON'T clown yourself when running spelling/grammar smack. I think the Ruel of Spellingsmack/Grammarsmack has been beaten to death, but apparently not enough for Mizzoufan...

The Golden Rule Of Spelling/Grammar smack...

PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD.

Of course, I won't proofread this post. For one, I'm not nearly the accomplished retard you are, and I score pretty well on the spelling/grammar thing without proofreading. For another, even better reason -- could be good times when my inevitable fuckups get pointed out.

Yes Pinky could fuck this up, but he won't be on the field playing D for Zoo and that's what this game boils down to.
If we hold Sooners to 28 or less MU should win.

I was kinda fired up about the D after last week's thumpin of Braska, but after their perofrmance in Lincon today, I'm thinking that's not the best guage.
Pressure up the middle will on Bradford is the key.

On offense Temple is out and MU is gonna have to run some clock - This is Danial's chance to shine.
And whoever said Rucker is a beast is spot on.

I think it's gonna be close - the line was MU+10.5 - I like that money
