Boomer!

Sooner!

Feels good finally having healthy WRs and a competent QB who can consistently complete passes 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

We're not national title contenders, but we're certainly a top 15 team.

That’s the most satisfying win for me in a long time. They look like a better team to me. Aside from the long run they gave up, defense was clutch.

All this sooner talk needs its own forum. In the kiddie section.

Mark Schlabach: It's only two weeks into the season, but Auburn’s Hugh Freeze and Arkansas’ Sam Pittman seem to have their programs headed back in the right direction. The Tigers picked up an impressive 38-24 victory at Baylor in their opener, then blasted Ball State 42-3 at home Saturday. Quarterback J. Arnold’s legs have certainly helped, but Auburn will need to get more out of its passing game (he's averaging only 2.7 yards per dropback on third and fourth down, as our colleague Bill Connelly noted).
After what should be another warmup against S. Alabama on Saturday, the Tigers will get into the meat of their schedule with four straight games against ranked SEC foes: at Oklahoma and Texas A&M, and against Georgia and Missouri at home. That stretch will determine if the Tigers are truly back or not.

Yep. I predict we're about to see the real Jackson Arnold in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, me too. Non-conference performances are rarely impressive to me.

I didn't expect the OU fans to have so much dislike for Arnold.

Anytime they mentioned his name during last weekend's Game Day in Norman the crowd booed loudly.

Usually if a guy transfers they still kind of support the ex-Sooner....provided the player didn't take shots at OU on the way out, or something to that nature. I haven't heard or seen anything about Arnold speaking negatively about OU.

He didn't do anything other than not be as good as advertised. And his coaching and personnel sure didn't help him much, either.

Probably everyone is just upset that he didn't live up to his billing.

I expect a fun game tonight between U of H and Colorado.

I hope for Deion's sake he knows what's he's doing going with his 3rd string QB for this one.

That Houston qb ain’t fucking around.

 

[Texas Ace]

I wonder if Deion makes it past this season?

This all white with a touch of gold GT uniform is a beauty.

Simple, clean, and classy.

 

[Texas Ace]

I thought coming into the season that Clemson was vastly overrated, and through 10 quarters of play, I'm starting to think that they might even be worse than I initially thought.

Yes it is. They will look even better dirty after beating these Clemson clowns.

 

[1bigfan13]

If that GT LB turned around and blocked on that INT return, that's a pick 6.

I haven't been impressed with Clemson at all. Klubnik appears to have regressed and they no longer have the explosive talent at WR and RB that fueled those championships runs.

Yeah....#44?

I have no idea what he was doing there. He initially blocks the guy then turns around immediately and starts heading upfield.

How the hell was he so unaware that the guy was right behind them the whole time?

Just a complete lack of awareness. And it eventually ended up costing them points and momentum.

Yeah, and that's just one of a handful of plays that there are starting to leave out on the field.
