Maybe some news today but no press conference. You can ask and answer your own questions here if you like

Question:  "Hey coach, the fuck up with all the delay of game penalties?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Question: Hey coach, has there ever been a worse call on such an important 3rd and 5 than the wildcat you called? You even left Buechele in the game rather than bringing in another blocker? That play had maybe a 10% chance of getting 5 yards, and you have such a mismatch out there in CJ and LJH that can get 5 yards on a quick pass in their sleep. Please put some thoughts into your important play calls in the future. thanks.

Bye week doesn't have cheerleaders or a pom squad?

One of my favorite plays of the game - Boyd was getting stiff-armed by the douchebag from Tenn as they were pursuing him to the sideline.  B Jones came running up on them and shoved Boyd into the ball-carrier and out of bounds.  Nice play by Jones to stop Hurd (through Boyd) from getting the corner and the first down.

You look at the bye week over there and it’s just all about the tradition of feeling empty inside because there’s no Texas football to watch.

Every team is getting delay penalties these days. They're taking the edict to "immediately wind the clock" seriously.

When you get an INT or a fumble, they're not waiting for the celebration to stop. They're winding the play clock. Same with punts and kickoffs.

Take away lesson: Be ready with your unit for sudden changes (or obvious ones).

Any word on possible game time for West Va?  Or will it be one of those 6 day window decisions?

Do you mean OSU game? I doubt they announce WVU game time today.

No i'm concerned with West Va...hoping it's a night game since I have a conflict during the day.  I know it's wishful thinking they'd announce the time this early.

The really frustrating ones are the ones that happen on the first drive.  

They won't announce WVU until next week.

If I had to guess:

KSU @ OU -11am ESPN

Tech @ ISU-2:30 FS1

Texas @ oSu 6pm FS1

I hate our delay of game penalties on first play of first drive situations. I might be in the minority but I do think a injury time out should be extended to get a QB ready to go in. Its one thing to have a LB backup ready to go but QBs are usually helmet off, headset on, cold,  and not repped with a center to go in and not expect a mess at the start. 

So we have a potential night game in Stillwater on the weekend before Halloween?

That reminds me of both 2005 and 2008. Nice.

Bye week is important for getting people healed up and ready. If we lose bye week, say goodbye to the season

2009, not 2008.  the game was on halloween night.  it was fun.

In all seriousness, there's a variety of maladies and misfortunes that can bite a football team during a bye week - especially one with a starting QB who "should be throwing balls by the end of the week".

The Evil and Capricious Football Gods are not to be mocked. Do your part to keep them looking in a different direction.

Whoops. Yeah 2009. Both games are very pleasant memories even if I can not remember what year they occurred.

Let's get a third Halloween classic on the 27th.

Mullet and the pokes will be fired up to salvage a season and they'll def. smell blood in the water (or on Sam's hand) after seeing Baylor game. We will need to play our best game of the year.

Moved the TV outside and watched the game while passing out candy.  

Question I would like to see asked. Every time you start to manage the game you score no points. Will you at some point change your approach and keep the foot on the gas?

"Well, getting 5 yards is really tough, and 3rd downs in Division I football are really, really, extremely tough. Plus, I was reading the Surly boards on the sideline, and everyone was bitching every time we threw a pass, so I thought it would be a really, really good idea to give the posters what they wanted."

Look at what Kentucky did on their bye week. If we win ours like they won theirs, we’ll be in the CFP mix easy. 

So this is what.....Michael Griffin Redux No. 3 already this year?

How about No. 44 who got "hurt" on our last drive?  Looked absolutely devastating.  I've been T'ing and P'ing all weekend.

 

Idgaf if other teams are having problems with delay. In our games we seem to get more of them the other team. It should be a simple fix. Hopefully after the bye week we see a big reduction

Didn’t one of Strong’s teams lose to bye

You're thinking of Kansas, and I can see why you were easily confused.

Strong lost to Kansas and then he was told Bye. That is where the confusion comes from.

This play stood out to me as well.  It was great, complementary team defense.  Locke actually was the one who made the tackle IMO, you can see him about to get him around the waist in the pic.  But he was only able to catch up because Boyd and Jones were containing Hurd to the sideline.  If Locke was alone, Hurd turns up field earlier and roasts him.  If its just Boyd I think Hurd gets the corner.  It's possible Jones could have done this on his own just because he occasionally takes a perfect angle and has very good closing speed.  The way it unfolded in real time though was fun to watch.  Especially since Hurd is an ugly douchebag type player.

For someone that is suppose to follow the team he does not understand Tom's concept of 1-0.

Rising needs reps with the ones the next 2 weeks just in case.  we really need that mobile threat

No shit, that's not very hard to interpret as far as coachspeak goes. Did we get better during the bye week? If yes, it's a win. If not, it's a loss. 1-0.

I'm not a big fan of the 1-0 silliness but it's pretty simple to figure out. I can get not liking the shtick, but not even getting it? That's pretty bad.

Curtis Brown pick six game right?  Or was it Earl who got that?  I think I remember both getting interceptions.

I am a huge fan of coaching silliness. Cold logical calculations is not how you lead people.
