FAU

Last two Florida Atlantic games: 17-0 loss to Michigan State and 37-3 loss to Minnesota today, not exactly powers . . . kinda downgrades that 52-10 opener.

Game on radio in OKC?

Anyone know of an OKC station that carries Horns games? I know, weird question. It’s for my parents, they’re driving through.

by Kool Hand on Sep 20, 2008 5:54 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

okc radio

no okla station scheduled to carry (according to UT’s list) . . . might try 660 AM out of Dallas; it comes in down in Texas and may have the push to get to OKC. That or 760 AM out of S. Antonio look like the best bets

by edsp on Sep 20, 2008 5:59 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I appreciate the feedback, folks

I think I’ll just call my parents every few minutes until they get into Dallas radio range. Hook ’em!!!

Game is on in Houston

Comcast 76, as noted in the fanposts. I was a little worried, but it IS on.

wtf??

so they bumped it from an HD channel to standard def?? this blows

by buiyahkah on Sep 20, 2008 6:09 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

don't know

if they can show different broadcasts between HD and regular. i’ve seen before where they show a Rangers game listed on the HD channel, but it’s colored bars and Astros on 37.

62-14

Hell, I thought I wasn’t going to get to see this but it is on the regular Fox SW channel. Hot dog. Just got in. Great surprise.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 6:06 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

That would be great for me too

Except the house I’m now living in does not have this channel! There’s no radio in the room I’m staying in either, so it looks like I’m stuck with Gamecast and reading BON posts.

by goingforthecorner on Sep 20, 2008 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Damn, sorry to hear that.

I was resigned to listening to the radio – which I actually like to do – and the live blog. Remind us if we don’t give enough detail. Gamecast can get rather shy on key plays.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 6:10 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

likewise

Comcast 76 on this cable is blank. Mine,of course, is a casualty of Ike.

my sooner bro

says the OU kicker can’t get it out of the end zone. So the Sooners have at least one weakness …

Our opponents..

always come out jacked up to play UT. I think that has something to do w/ the opening defensive drives. Let’s get a stop here!

O-Line not looking that great.

He flushed from the pocket at 2 seconds.

We have more rush than many seem to think.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 6:31 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I agree, that third down play was much better...

It’s early, the D is settling in. Good job to hold Rice to three points on both of those drives where they chewed up yardage.

We're not face up on the slot receiver.

Need to get tighter inside the first-down line. Clements is too accurate to leave that wide open.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 6:44 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

how about

presssing all the receivers at the line and inviting them to try and throw deep?

clement, best qb in the big 12?

that guy is amazing, none of the other qb’s with the exception of griffin can do what he does. bradford and harrell wish they could run the football like that. i honestly believe he could be one of the best quarterbacks Texas sees all year.
