Whew...

OU sucks!

Into the pit of misery my friend. Football is a cruel, harsh mistress. So terrible.

But Sark has them on the right track and of course you have more money than any school in America, so we can expect to see the Evil Empire again in the playoffs soon (unfortunately).

yeah I'm pissed. texas could have won that game. sark is dumb for not playing manning over ewers. it reminds me of how mack brown bungled Chris Simms and major appelwhite. but, I'm glad sark is turning things around at texas. it beats the alternative. where we were before he got there.

I’m glad Texas lost! They shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Maybe I’m still upset about the non targeting call but overall, ASU outplayed Texas.

Before the OSU/Texas game tonight, I kept saying it was probably good ASU lost because they’d get killed against OSU. But after painfully watching the game, I think ASU would have beat both these teams. Now I’m pissed off again!

I did get a good laugh when Texas was begging for a targeting call when it was obvious the defender drilled a receiver in the shoulders.

Jack Sawyer has the look of a player Gannon would love

lol too easy

 

[football karma]

lol too easy

he is like a defensive Trey McBride when i listened to him

Sawyer has been playing out of his mind in these playoffs. He had a really nice year but nothing like this.
Never thought OSU was in danger of losing this game. They were the better team. Texas never led.
I had said earlier in the draft prospect thread that I thought Sawyer would be a better pro than college player and would be great in round 3.
He's played himself up where no chance he's there in round 3.

Meanwhile Ewers draft stock is sinking.

Sure the NFL is starving for QBs, and it's a down year for college QBs generally, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Quinn fall out of the first round.

I mean maybe Lorenzo. Manning can't block for himself and neither can Ewers. And despite throwing 50 TDs against N. Texas State (or whoever that was earlier in the year) Manning is still an unknown quantity.

When you lose a big game like this, you always go back and look at every decision. Every play call. But over 60 minutes, one decision has less importance than one might think.

Texas was right there, but other guys made a play. It sucks but I think you have to live with it. You back your coach who got you that close and live to fight another day.

Unless you want Charlie Strong making the decisions again!

See you next October sucka! We gonna have somethin for ya! Be well Lorenzo.

i see a Trey Hendrickson comp for Sawyer

he seems like a "good" at all the qualities you look for but not "great" at any of them -- yet the production is there -- "budget" Aiden Hutchinson

btw: on other OSU player i liked:

Donavan Jackson at LT. Moved from guard to LT mid season when Josh Simmons got hurt and has looked really good against top comp

probably a guard in the NFL but sure has made some money in the last 8 weeks or so.

It took Hendrickson 4 years to develop

If it takes that long don’t draft him. Monti will be judged a fool after one season and fired the next by the time he blossoms.

Excellent player and will be a guard in NFL. Probably a 2nd round pick. Heard he's an awesome dude too. If Simmons wouldn't have gotten hurt, I would have loved to see Jackson against the Michigan DT's. Would've been some top-notch talent going against each other.
