Oklahoma St vs Troy thread

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

another TD by Troy, now it's just embarrassing

[razorkev]

HUNH...killin OK State

[HamHands]

Either Troy is not too bad or OSU sucks. I think it is the latter

[Sonofahog]

This game should be about 50-10.  Troy has blown a couple of TD chances .   OSUcks.

[judgeroyswine]

We'll know tomorrow night.

I think it's a little bit of both.  Troy did put 26 on us and 31 on FL.  The Pokes just can't get going and are having a more difficult time stopping them.

[COCHISE]

Go Troy, maybe a couple of those OSU commits will rethink about the Hogs.  Pokes are going no where.

Speaking of that, I didn't get in on the game until the 2nd quarter, has William Cole played yet?

[TransAmHawg]

 Which bring up an interesting point. If OSU's coach Grumpy was to tank it this year, would that be a good place for Dale? It is his alma matter. He's could love the hat. I think it might just work if they fired Grumpy.
  I think this Larry Blakeley is a good coach. he's good at getting his guy's to play hard and above their ability. Very good play calling and execution. He has obviously recruited very well to have as good a team as Troy. Sunbelt champs. What could he do with the talent Dale is squandering away here? Troy scores again. They are taking OSU to the woodshed.
  Larry Blakeley is way better a coach than Dale on his best day, without textual distractions.

[HamHands]

Does anyone fell better that we shut Troy's offense down in the second half. I may be feeling a little better about our defense. Tomorrow will tell.

Haven't seen him...but I have been paying more attention to Troy so I could have missed him.

Well, Georgia beat OSU 35-14.


Troy is making them look horrible though and of course Troy does play at Georgia later in the year.

[okiehawg]

haha, did you just hear the announcers say that Troy may be the best team in Alabama?

[COCHISE]

Does anyone fell better that we shut Troy's offense down in the second half. I may be feeling a little better about our defense. Tomorrow will tell.

Yes, watching the way their offense is executing and marching down the field absolutely makes me feel better about our defense.  With the way Troy's defense is shutting down OSU, I feel a little better about our offense too.  And yes I realize OSU sucks..

[The_Bionic_Pig]

I know the Georgia Bulldog fans are not liking this game one bit....

[okiehawg]

I am glad Blackledge is announcing the game tommorow. 

[Reaganite]

Blackledge has been doing his homework on us.

[okiehawg]

Blackledge has been doing his homework on us.

I agree.  He usually does a good job.  I have enjoyed him thus far.

[judgeroyswine]

Blackledge is off-base on the off-the-field issues.

[COCHISE]

I am glad Blackledge is announcing the game tommorow. 

Very nice comments from Mr. Blackledge.

[NuttinItUp]

Man, talking about Arkansas in this game. Heck yes! The guy on the phone was very pro-Hogs.

[whatsshakinbacon]

Nice compliments from Blackledge - good coverage of our backfield.  Sounds like his Heisman ballot has already been cast.

Bacon out...

[Reaganite]

Blackledge is off-base on the off-the-field issues.

I agree.  BUT, it will help us from a strategic standpoint of recruiting during the upcoming offseason with him minimizing it. 

HOPEFULLY, recruiting that doesn't involve Nutt.

[kennedy]

Blackledge is dead on in his comments about players transferring ....and he is correct in that it was way overblown.

Only in Arkansas.

[okiehawg]

Blackledge is off-base on the off-the-field issues.

Would you rather him make a big deal about it?

[COCHISE]

Blackledge is off-base on the off-the-field issues.

He was just reporting what the players told him.

[chiefsfan]

OSU is about to be down 30 to a Sun Belt team...

Edit:  Now Troy Fumbles

[NuttinItUp]

Looking better and better for Arkansas. Heck yes!

[judgeroyswine]

Blackledge is off-base on the off-the-field issues.

Would you rather him make a big deal about it?

No, but it still galls me to think of people thinking HDN took the high road on this one.  I guess it is just a flash point for me.

[MCheisman]

whats the score to this game? Is it over?

When it all happpened we all knew it would be this way with the national media.  That is something we talked about when it all went down.

[Reaganite]

I'd sure like to see Nutt make a move to OSU.  They keep playing like this and it just might happen.

I hear you.  It just irks me.  I'll get over it.

Troy has never lost a home opener under Blakeney.  I don't think they will be losing this one.

I just figure since they (Nutt & Co.) are in a position to shape perception/national media opinion and we are not, it's probably best that the off season stuff die off. 

Nutt will move on at the end of the year and we'll be rid of our cancer of the Nutts.

Late 3rd quarter

Yeah, and it should be more.  Troy has had some terrible decisions today (Hogaboom throwing an Int on a 3rd and goal, Troy faking a punt and failing inside their own 15, bad clock management at the half producing 0 points in a red zone drive).

[NuttinItUp]

OSU looks like shite. Don't know if anyone has noticed.

Not sure if that is good news for Arkansas or bad news for OSU/Florida, but it is definitely something.

[COCHISE]

Okie St. is the worst team I've seen play this year, live or on T.V.  Mr. Pickens needs to fork over some more money and buy the Cowboys some players..

[VandyHog]

They really do look awful.  You get the feeling that Troy is just goofing around with them at this point.  This thing could be a huge blowout.

[ErieHog]

OSU looks like crape. Don't know if anyone has noticed.

Not sure if that is good news for Arkansas or bad news for OSU/Florida, but it is definitely something.

I think its in part due to people short-selling Troy, but there is a considerable short-week factor coming into play-- then again, Troy is playing on the same short week, but its always harder for the bigger school to get up for these games.

[VandyHog]

The short week thing it seems like would affect Troy more than OSU.  Troy played the Gators last weekend.  OSU played Florida Atlantic.

[Reaganite]

I'm trying to figure out why OSU would go to TROY???

[David Brent]

I'm trying to figure out why OSU would go to TROY???

That's a great question. 

[ErieHog]

I'm trying to figure out why OSU would go to TROY???

A 2-1 deal, with lower money payouts than usual for the 2 games at OSU. 

[okiehawg]

I'm trying to figure out why OSU would go to TROY???

For the same reason they went to Georgia.  All the renovations on their new stadium are going to be done next season so this way they will have several home games right in a row at the start of next season, including Georgia.

[judgeroyswine]

I'm trying to figure out why OSU would go to TROY???

I'll bet Boone Pickens is wondering the same thing.

[COCHISE]

I'm trying to figure out why OSU would go to TROY???

I don't know, but I bet they don't go back.

[ErieHog]

The short week thing it seems like would affect Troy more than OSU.  Troy played the Gators last weekend.  OSU played Florida Atlantic.

I think Troy wasn't intimidated tonight, partially because of who they played.   OSU took its Georgia beating, then sleepwalked through a win over FAU.   Its easy to see how a team like that can get lost on its way to conference play.

[VandyHog]

Yeah, you would think they would have questioned that decision after Missouri went down there and got whipped a couple of years ago.  Troy is 2-0 against the Big 12 in Troy.

Ah!  Looks like they should have ponied up for the Home only game.  LOL!
