To those that traveled to the game. How was the trip? Treated fairly? Survive all the road and stadium construction?

Thread on your d line. http://www.landthieves.com/board/showthread.php?93775-Akron-s-defensive-front

Program turn arounds don't happen over night. Bill Snyder at K State started off: 1-10 5-6 7-4 5-6 They then went on a streak of 11 straight bowl games. Good thing they didn't can him after the 2nd 5-6

Take a deep breath and relax.Bowden took over a hell hole. You won 1 game in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Then a couple of 5 win seasons. There rest of this year your defense should keep you in every game. Your linebackers as a group are equal to or better than any the Sooners will play the rest of the way. Offense has a long way to go. Need skill player upgrades. Pitt - play ball and get some offense and you can take them at home. Build on that win. A bunch of Sooners are tallking smack but those that know football had good things to say. A line of thought from Land Thieves where opponent compliments are as rare as hens teeth. I started it with this...see what happened. "They have a good front 7. Look at the run stats. Their zero offense is hurting their d and their lack of depth." "Point taken" "They also have really good coaches." "Actually they have one of the best group of LBers we will see this year." "This ^^^ is actually valid." "True. Akron is not a big dog, but they're not pushovers, either -- at least defensively."

Your radio announcers are ready to go home. "Not another break, is it?"

Everybody has their subs in. Game over. You represented yourself well. Solid defense and a staggering offense. Take care of Pitt next week.

Sooner d line is stout. Both d are similar. Strong front 7 with questions in the back end. Both fan bases are saying the same thing. Why aren't we trying to establish the run? Well, might be that both o lines are over matched. Gotta run every once in a while to keep the d honest. Hit a few passes to spread out the d. Sooners have been more successful at making that happen. If you can't do that it will be a long second half. You get the ball to start the half. Don't need a 3 and out. Be back at the end of the game.

Nice 1st half for the zips. Solid defense that is getting no help from the offense. About what most expected. The revamped oklahoma offense is getting overwhelmed by your front 7. Gotta get your offense eating some clock or your defense is going be the walking dead in the 4th quarter

Good luck to your Zips. Hope they play a solid game and come out healthy. But lose. You have been good folks. Courteous, knowledgable, and filled with Zip passion. Impressive.

It is always a concern with any freshman. They claim he has been kicking the snot out of the ball. Hit a 52 yarder with time running out in the 2 minute drill. Claimed it would have been good from 62.

Currently mixed, at best. A large group think he has gotten lazy and rests on his laurels. Hires his buds and relatives even if they aren't worth a damn. They really dislike his brother Mike. A majority wanted Mike gone last year. Personally, I think that last year hey were two players away from a possible playoff appearance. Qb play was average at best. They were trying to change from a high flying pass offense to a more qb read style passing game. This was out of Josh H's wheelhouse. Didn't work out well. They needed one additional press cover corner. As the year went on the weakness was found and exploited. I still can't say the weaknesses have been addressed. Another 8 or 9 win season and the pressure will be intense.

There are usually Sooner fans that stream the ppv events. Secret passwords and cryptic stream titles. If one shows up I will post the link so you can watch the carnage.

I feel much better. I cried all day.

I am guessing being called districtballer is not exactly a compliment.

It costs a lot more for a business. Some type formula based on business seating capacity.
