skip-zip Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I like how Oklahoma intimidates the visitors by making you walk over their National Championship years. Maybe when it was reported earlier in the week that Johnny J's would have a watch party....they weren't aware that it was PPV ? Balsy, I remember those conversations last year about organizing Watch Parties, and not many people joined in to say that they would attend. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 For all you Zips fans in Oklahoma - I am extremely jealous! Drink a lot, have a blast, and let us know how it went. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I just got an email from one of the Johnny J's managers and they will NOT have the game. That really sucks. Quote
skip-zip Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Loyal Zip...I got an e-mail message back from them also. Bummer. Quote
pphilfran Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I'd say its a good thing. He's, IMO, a well respected fan from VCU who posts sometimes.I feel much better. I cried all day. Quote
pphilfran Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 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. Quote

zipsoutsider Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Posted September 4, 2015 "Team Note | True Freshman Corner Into The Fire: As I mentioned earlier in the week, I had heard that true freshman PJ Mbanasor had been taking a lot of first team reps at corner throughout the week. I checked with a couple sources and it appears that Mbanasor is expected to get the start on Saturday night.I cannot get into the specifics of what led to Mbanasor getting the start over Jordan Thomas, but I can say Thomas is expected to play on Saturday as well. And while it will continue to be a competition, as is virtually every starting position throughout the season, the expectation is that Thomas will resume his starting role the following week in Knoxville.

pphilfran Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Pph, what is the Sooner nations overall perception of Stoops? 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. Quote

GJGood Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Anybody know if there will be any televised replays of the game? If it is on for free sometime later in the holiday weekend I may just try to avoid knowing the result until that time. If not, it looks like ai'll be listening to Frenchy on the radio call tonight. This PPV thing bites the big bologna. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Good use of Periscope! I hope they continue doing different things throughout the season. I am utterly unfamiliar with Periscope - though my first impression was fantastic. They mentioned that they were going to preview the jerseys later sometime today. How are we supposed to know when they may begin live streaming that? Quote
LoyalZIP Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Good use of Periscope! I hope they continue doing different things throughout the season.An even better use would be to stream the game for free! Quote

Hit a 52 yarder with time running out in the 2 minute drill. Claimed it would have been good from 62. Quote
pphilfran Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 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. 1 Quote
zippy_ua_00 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 I don't really think any of us expectus to win. I think we believe we can win With a few bounced or calls or whatever. Definitely don't see it being a blow out like most sooner fans. Not that I wouldn't expect that as well if I were a sooner fan. The zips defense will give the sooners all they can handle. If we can manage to do something in offense it could get very interesting Quote
