Football Open Thread
— Gabriel Malor

Bumped: So what's all this Bedlam stuff about? It all started years ago, right about the time Dave in Texas was born, in fact:

In 1900, in Oklahoma Territory, Oklahoma A&M (later Oklahoma State) veterinary medicine professor Dr. L.L. Lewis assembled a group of A&M students to participate in the first territorial Track and Field Meet. Held on May 4, 1900, the event included Alva Normal College, Central Normal of Edmond, Kingfisher College and the University of Oklahoma, along with OAMC. The prize of the tournament was a silver cup donated by a local jeweler named Douglas. Surprisingly, A&M won the meet and returned to Stillwater with the traveling trophy.
In 1901, A&M won again, and a third consecutive win would mean permanent retirement of the Douglas Cup in Stillwater. The meet was held on May 23, 1902, with the Aggies amassing the most points. Oklahoma filed a protest based on the pole vault competition not having been completed due to darkness, however, Oklahoma A&M claimed the Douglas cup. [They were whiners even then.]
The next day the Sooners held their own vault competition and declared themselves the victor. Several weeks later, the Douglas Cup was missing from its place in a glass case at the Oklahoma A&M chemistry lab. Suspecting that OU students had stolen the Cup, a group of A&M students retrieved the Cup from Norman, supposedly burying it under Old Central for safekeeping.
Ten years later, when excavation was being done for A&M's Gundersen Hall [where I actually had classes a few years ago], the trophy was found. Today it resides in OSU's Heritage Hall.

Ever since, the ~~criminals~~ ~~cheaters~~ Sooners have been grouchy about it.

Game starts in just a few minutes. Stick around to see me taunt the Normanite commenters or start arbitrarily banning them when the Cowboys start to lose!

Original Post:
I guess Dave's not around. Some games have already started today, but there's only one I care about:

BEDLAM! IN! STILLWATER!

I can't even describe to you how awesome things are in Stillwater right now. Fortunately, they are televising the game out here in California, now that the outcome is important for OU's fate. The game starts at 7pm CST.

For a gay guy you SURE can pick good pictures!

Go somebody out there, but fuck UNC and go Duke!

5 Gabe ... all us Red Raiders are rooting for you! Kick some Sooner butt. Woohoo!! Headed to the Tech - Baylor game in a few, but will be wtaching tonight!

Posted by: Wolverine at November 29, 2008 08:53 AM (N7EnR)

6 Go Pokes!!! I've got a really good feeling about this. Home game, huge rivalry, two weeks to prepare. Then again, I thought Tech would give blowU a deent game last week

Posted by: Bevo73 at November 29, 2008 08:54 AM (kOaXC)

7 By the way, I think the media is not giving OSU enough credit, I was much more concerned about Tech-OSU game than I was with Tech-Texas. The Tech - OSU score was not indicative of OSU's abilities. We just got on a roll like OU did against us. I will be very surpised if OSU doesn't win this game.

Posted by: Wolverine at November 29, 2008 08:57 AM (N7EnR)

8 Wolverine, A dropped interception is all that stands in the way of an undefeated season for Texas. However, y'all kicked our ass the first half, and I have no problem whatsoever if you end up winning the Big 12 South. I'm going to be really pissed if blowU passes us in the human polls and steals the title. Remember... 45-35!!!

Posted by: Bevo73 at November 29, 2008 09:02 AM (kOaXC)

9 BOOMER SOONER, This should be a great game tonight and OSU has a good chance of winning. Having said that, if OU can play like they did against Tech it might be a run-away but if OSU comes to play and OU blinks it could go the other way.

Damn but we have good teams in the South Division of the Big 12 this year. I hope it comes down to a few good plays at the end to win and that neither team gets stupid ref calls. HAPPY FOOTBALL !

Posted by: Sooner born and sooner bred and when I die I'm a sooner dead. at November 29, 2008 09:05 AM (M8zes)

10 Bevo, I agree, Texas won head to head so they should have the edge over OU!

Posted by: Wolverine at November 29, 2008 09:05 AM (N7EnR)

Big 12 south is loaded, 4 teams in top 11 or 12, at one time in top 10.

Posted by: Wolverine at November 29, 2008 09:07 AM (N7EnR)

12 Boomer, You're absolutely right. No other division in college football compares to the Big 12 South. If we'd played OU in Norman last week, God only knows what might have happened. Y'all were clearly on a mission. I'm hoping for a close game tonight and not a repeat of last week. Hook 'em! 45-35

Posted by: Bevo73 at November 29, 2008 09:13 AM (kOaXC)

ORANGE!

POWER!

Go Pokes! Its great to see such a great school get national attention on ESPN all day!

I just hope Gundy is "Man" enough to have his team ready to stop a great Sooner team!

14 Ga Tech just tied up GA at 28. Awesome.

Posted by: Bugler at November 29, 2008 09:31 AM (YCVBL)

15 Kansas is mudholing Missouri 26-10. Not good from my perspective.

Posted by: Bevo73 at November 29, 2008 09:45 AM (kOaXC)

16 I've been watching Big8/Big 12 football for 42 years.

Normally, I'd pick OU.

But I've seen times when OU was AWESOME and |OSU's record was really crappy, but OSU give OU all it could take [and sometimes win] becasuse of the pschyology associated with the rivalry.

And OSU is better this year than its historical average.

It's either going to be an OU blowout, or it'll be really tight, and a toss up at the end.

I look for the close one tonight.

And my Huskers did a nice little Buffalo dance yesterday.
That was a heck of a kick.

Posted by: Lt. York at November 29, 2008 10:01 AM (u3pgy)

17 If this was a competition over who has shagged the most relatives at family reunions the Cowboys would have it won hands down. Since it's not- take the Sooners and give the 7.5 points. OU 49, OSU 27.

18 Virginia Tech beat Virginia 17-14, woohoo!!!

Posted by: roamingfirehydrant at November 29, 2008 10:17 AM (X+tXI)

I predict it will be a defensive struggle and OU will win 5-2.

Oh just kidding. OU in a blowout.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 10:19 AM (VLxln)

20 Well this Georgia rumble is looking mighty interesting right now.

21 "If this was a competition over who has shagged the most relatives at family reunions the Cowboys would have it won hands down. Since it's not- take the Sooners and give the 7.5 points. OU 49, OSU 27."

This Husker fan sez: "Go easy on those OSU fans. Remember, everyone's IQ drops 30 points when they set foot on OU's campus, and only recover after stepping off."

23 And watching the MU/KU game, saw a trailer for a Jim Carrey movie "Yes Man"
that had a couple of shots of the stadium in Lincoln.
Know what gives?

Great shot!

If only I had two TVs...

31 Well KU beats MU 40-37. Any day that MU loses is a good day.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 11:11 AM (VLxln)

32 30-27 KU. Bummer ending, but what a game.

Posted by: Bevo73 at November 29, 2008 11:11 AM (kOaXC)

33 Damn... I meant 40-37

34 Lt. York: Sure why not.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 11:12 AM (VLxln)

35 Welp, time for Mark Richt to be shown the door. That guy can't win a high profile game even if the other team spotted him a forfeit.

36 Gary Pinkel underachieves again...

Yup!

You ought to put that on a bumper sticker and t-shirt and make a fortune selling them in Kansas.

Posted by: Amused Observer at November 29, 2008 11:46 AM (xuxiF)

Who would have thought BCS #22 Georgia Tech would've beat BCS #11 Georgia in this year's edition of Clean, Old Fashioned Hate?

The Border War provided us with another stunning upset as unranked Kansas beat BCS 13 Missou at Arrowhead Stadium (in the most exciting game that venue will host this year) by a field goal, 40-37.

Prediction for The Bedlam Game: The BCS #12 Cowboys shock the world, and The BCS #3 Sooners in Stillwater tonight in front of what should be a huge national audience.

Prediction for The Civil War: BCS #23 Oregon wins at home against BCS #17 Oregon State.

Neither of those prediction come from "Upset Fever" either. I had OK. State winning this game from the start of the season. Oregon...just a hunch.

Posted by: SuperCool at November 29, 2008 11:50 AM (a80B1)

40 Gabriel Malor,

Watch Auburn/Alabama because FSU/Florida is a blowout. FSU has no offense because Florida is really good on D.

41 Baylor leads Texas Tech 21-17 at halftime!!!! Go Bears!!!

Posted by: Bevo73 at November 29, 2008 12:15 PM (kOaXC)

42 Baylor's true freshman QB Robert Griffin reminds me a helluva lot of a young Vince Young. Big, fast, tremendous ability to escape.

Posted by: Bevo73 at November 29, 2008 12:19 PM (kOaXC)

43 Yeah, Baylor is better than they have been in quite a while. Their record is deceptive.
.
It is more than plausible that they upset TT today

Boy, would that upset Sooner fans. And players. Before kickoff.

Posted by: Lt. York at November 29, 2008 12:28 PM (u3pgy)

44 @39: Obviously, you aren't familiar with Mark Richt's record against other ranked teams......

Posted by: Fa Cube Itches at November 29, 2008 12:31 PM (RWmCt)

45 @1 The hat should definitely stay, and the chaps could stay.....

Posted by: Fa Cube Itches at November 29, 2008 12:32 PM (RWmCt)

46 Man I hope Oregon State can win. Not that I'm a huge Oregon State fan or anything, but it's just that Oregon State has a very, very long history of absolutely sucking at football and it would be great if they can win the Pac 10 this year. Plus, U of Oregon is full of hippies and hobos.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 12:41 PM (VLxln)

47 Go San Diego State! Oh....wait. Our terrible season's over, the coach was fired and graduation depletes us. Next year!!

Posted by: Frank G at November 29, 2008 01:26 PM (P0rQD)

48 Fuck OSU. The Sooners will slaughter them like they do every season. I cant stand OSU's coach, even if he is a man.

54 Sooners need to die in a fire.

Sooner fans need to die in a fire slowly.

Posted by: Jahiliyya at November 29, 2008 03:10 PM (WtdVi)

55 Now now. I'm a Husker fan so I have no great love for the Sooners. But to say that they should die in a fire isn't right. After all who would we make fun of if not for the Okies?

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 03:14 PM (VLxln)

The first half featured the Texas Tech team from the OU game - Baylor 21 - Tech 14. The second half was the Tech team from the Texas and OSU games, outscoring Baylor 21-7 and winning 35-28 while letting the clock run out to end the game with the ball on Baylor's 4 yard line. Man it was cooooold.

And yes, Griffin also reminds me of Vince Young, who caused Texas Tech major problems with the that zone read option. Baylor has steadily improved, but we should have beaten them by another score or two. I think it took the first half for the fans and the team to shake off the OU butt whuppin'.

64 I knew when my beloved Dawgs were preseason #1 that it was the kiss of death. Getting pounded by Alabama and Florida was bad enough, but giving up 45 points between the hedges to the fucking North Avenue Trade School is just ridiculous. There better be some damned heads rolling in Athens.

65 A substitutable oldie but goodie...

An OU fan, NU fan and a Texas fan are walking on the beach and find a lamp with a genie inside.

The genie says, "I've got three wishes to give, so each of you gets one wish. You go first, Tex."

Tex says, "I don't anyone to foul my beautiful Texas. Build a wall twenty feet high to keep everyone who is not a Texan out."

The genie says, "Done."

The Sooner says, "Say, that there is a good idear, do that to Oklahoma, too."

The genie says, "Done. How about you, Bugeater?"

The Husker fan says, "So, let me get this straight. You've just built a 20 foot wall around both Texas and Oklahoma?"

The genie says, "Yup."

"Fill them with water."

66 "Man I love Mushberger. "He left his blockin' buddies and he was NAKED out there." LOL"

I thought it was so funny when he was ticketed outside the stadium.

Bwahahahahaha!

Posted by: Lt. York at November 29, 2008 03:32 PM (u3pgy)

67 You guys really get all wound up over this?

I mean it's...Oklahoma for God's sake. It's a nice place to fly over and all but being the Kings of Oklahoma is like being well, the Kings of Oklahoma (sorry, I couldn't think of anything less meaningful to compare it to).

Isn't there something really important on TV tonight? Maybe a very special episode of Blossom or something? No wait, it can't be that, Ace is around and blogging. If Blossom were on TV Land that's where he'd be. Still, there must be something else on...a nice cooking show or something.

Posted by: DrewM. at November 29, 2008 03:32 PM (hlYel)

68 LOL that is outstanding

No, we've already satiated ourselves with furtive glances at compromising photos of Lisa Whelchel and Nancy McKeon.

So the defacto Big 12 championship is of interest...

Posted by: Lt. York at November 29, 2008 03:47 PM (u3pgy)

76 Wow it is turning into a defensive struggle. Only one TD (off an interception) and the 1st Q is almost over.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 03:52 PM (VLxln)

77 Yeah... it seems like Ok State is playing well. Matching the Sooners in rushing yards. More pass completion for more yards. If they can keep from making any more stupid mistakes, we got this.

91 @64: Here's hoping they take Willie Martinez out Goodfellas style. Richt simply needs to be given a nice fruit basket and let go. Problem is, the admin seems to look at his W/L record without actually looking at the wins and losses themselves. When he goes 6-6 next year, I suppose they'll finally start.

Well, the Cowboys just found the end zone and this is gonna be one heck of a game. I could do without some of the dumb comments from the announcers. I think this game will be won by the team with the greatest depth and I hope my Sooners have been working out enough.

Currently 7 to 9 Cowboys and the OU offense needs to get in gear.

95 Indeed, Chemjeff, 'Bama indeed!

Posted by: Lt. York at November 29, 2008 04:21 PM (u3pgy)

96 Well that is what happens when Mushburger calls the game. He will dazzle you with his mindless trivia and excellent conversational skills on absolutely inane topics. Oh, is there a football game on?

PI: Indeed it was. I didn't think it was a penalty to interfere with catching a ball headed for the stands. But apparently the $$$ to the refs disagree.

105 Gabe, Jeff,

If it wasn't catchable, why did the defender push the receiver down?

That's what the ref based his call on. Good enough to push a guy down, good enough to draw a flag.

107 Lt. York: No I didn't know that. Serves him right. We Nebraska folk are clean living types and don't need to be corrupted by those Eastern elites. LOL

We have one at NU.

Is that the thing to which you refer?

Yeah, 6 or 7 years ago, just before they turned that gravel lot west of the stadium into the "Champions Club."

They ticketed him after a broadcast. It was hysterical. Of course, he went on to publicly whine about how "unfair" it was.

Wanna bet he's a liberal?

Wow TD OU!

OU used to have a mascot Little Red, he was always a full blood Oklahoma Indian who wore white buckskins and a full headress and he would do a war dance on the sidelines everytime OU made a touchdown. Then in the early 70's 'those who know better' decided it was demeaning to Idians to let them celebrate their part of the Oklahoma heritage that way.

Now we just have to settle for a quarterback who is part Indian and has us ahead at half time.

Since we are talking about student athletes we could use football graduation rates to decide the tie in the Big 12 South, should OU prevail. From the recent Big 12 report of football grad rates - TTU 79%, UT 50%, OU 46%

: )

Posted by: Wolverine at November 29, 2008 05:20 PM (N7EnR)

133 Wow so OU's gotten better? Good for them. I knew things would only improve in Norman when they introduced the "Football Studies" major.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 05:23 PM (VLxln)

134 Robinson now has more rushing yards than any of the backs on either team.

Dude is a beast.

136 If the players can't hack it they don't deserve to graduate. When did we start advocating social promotion in any level of schooling? I worked full time and graduated so I have no sympathy for them.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 05:47 PM (VLxln)

138 OK. Fun games today. After the dust settles this is what I see. Cincinnati, Boston College and Ohio State get to jump over more deserving teams for big paydays. They are the super delegates of college football.

Posted by: Wolverine at November 29, 2008 06:00 PM (N7EnR)

143 And you know what the best part is? No matter who wins this game, Missouri is going to the Big 12 championship game, will probably get smoked, and, AGAIN, won't go to a BCS bowl. For the second year in a row. Now that's justice.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 06:00 PM (VLxln)

144 Is it upset time in OK?

Lt. York: yeah I know. We came that --> <-- close to beating TTU. I was with a friend for that game at his place and he was absolutely livid. He was throwing things, I feared for his new widescreen TV.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 06:07 PM (VLxln)

149 Hmm. At this rate OSU's only hope is to score more 2-point conversions than OU. It's becoming a shootout.

150 Yup, not much D now..

I've 8 seats for every game, so let me know whenever you want to go and I'll toss a couple your way...

#39,

You were right about Oregon beating OSU, 65-38 (most points scored against OSU *EVER*), but it was a road victory -- the game was in Corvallis.

As for the U of O being full of hippies, yeah, but they all hate the football program -- despite the fact that it brings in money for the school, and takes NOTHING from the general fund. So by rooting for their football team, you're actually thumbing your noses at the school's libs.

Posted by: Boy Named Sous at November 29, 2008 06:16 PM (WR1DY)

159 Wow that does sound like a lot of fun. Maybe next season we can organize a Nebraska moron caravan to an away game...

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 06:16 PM (VLxln)

160 In the Big 12, defense is restricted to the first half. Conference rules.

161 In the Big 12, defense is restricted to the first half. Conference rules.

Ho hum. Another TD to a wide-open receiver. Call me crazy, but this game is painful to watch.

Posted by: pbrown at November 29, 2008 06:21 PM (xIvjf)

162 Two closest away games next year are KU and MU.
KU fans are much nicer. Prettier campus as well.
But I'll go to Columbia...so long as Shakespeare's Pizza is included.
Wonder if it is still open?
What do you think?

Posted by: Lt. York at November 29, 2008 06:24 PM (u3pgy)

Sadly I won't be in town for either of the KU or MU games. Oh well. It's still a cool idea though.

Posted by: chemjeff at November 29, 2008 06:28 PM (VLxln)

164 Oh please shut up about the damn "style points". We all know the whole BCS is rigged by the computers. It's going to be Texas vs. Missouri.

Those chili/cheese fries look awesome.

Posted by: Lt. York at November 29, 2008 06:35 PM (u3pgy)

168 Oh dear GOD not Boise vs. OU again. Boise still can't shut up about their "miraculous" victory all these many years later. Truth be told, OU just wasn't very good that year. The Big 12 conference was pretty weak that year and they weren't seriously tested until that bowl.

177 Chemjeff 168 I am glad you took it in the spirit I meant it. Let it go man. It was the perfect storm and I don't think Boise could repeat the outcome again. What I really think is Boise is better than Ohio State. As are about 7 teams in the big 12. Wish there was a mini playoff at the end to prove the Big Ten, Big East and ACC are overrated and don't deserve the BCS bucks.

Posted by: locus ceruleus at November 29, 2008 06:53 PM (e2mBS)

179 Oh, it is, but I'm a (former) resident. So I get to despise you for it.

As for OSU, I know you think of us (OU) as your biggest rival, but we consider you mostly to be an annoying pest. Like an awkward little brother that always wants to tag along, but always gets in the way, falls into the creek or whatever, and then we have to take you back home and explain to Mom that we'd tried to leave you behind, but you just wouldn't stay put back at the house, intent on playing with your Spirograph and Lite Brite.

You see, we have bigger things on our plate, such as that asshole Texas guy who lives a block over and is always challenging us to a fight. Complete white trash that family is. And then there's the Nebraska guy who lives on the corner. We used to fight him a lot, but we've mostly learned to get along. Still, we occassionally scrap for old times sake.

And then there's that punk Miami, who occasionally wanders into the neighborhood, looking for trouble. Word has it, he has some gang affiliations. He used to be a badass, but he's not so much a threat these days.

Does that clear things up for you? Otherwise, I see endless wedgies in your future. Now run along and play kiddo...

When I have my seal cegel, you feel it is not the point, but there is a lot of emotional feeling cross, complex and exciting. When you have more sealonline cegel, you can own the entire world. Once you have seal online cegel, you can do more! Quickly go alone in unfamiliar streets, there is no concern and warmth look of sympathy, just silently listening to headphones, different styles of music, his eyes drift without purpose, I do not know whether to find his own corner. Although we have cheap seal cegel, At least I can have my own things, rather than wishful thinking. When you buy seal online cegel, you can make a choice if you had been ready for it!
