LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/claymoore31]

The last osu coach that lost to Tulsa immediately got fired wonder if it will happen again?

[u/averyrose2010]

Losing your blindside tackle and then being down the backup too is going to put a wrinkle in things. Seriously bummed for the Cowboys.

[u/Terminal_Terry]

Don’t worry Chad, Wrestling season is right around the corner!

[u/TheMarcolmX]

Can we become a hockey school?

[u/slider4110 → u/TheMarcolmX]

We are already a hockey school

[u/ed_mcc]

Hogs ur next

[u/Piglet6482 → u/ed_mcc]

Sorry, we have a date with Utah first

[u/WillSimpforTacos]

a reminder that Drew Mestemaker is making 3.75 million dollars this year.

[u/Opposite-Constant-94 → u/WillSimpforTacos]

Yeah, astounding. Is it not enough that they're getting full rides at university to get a degree in any topic of their choosing at that school, full housing, and meals paid???

[u/Phuturebound → u/WillSimpforTacos]

NIL is an insult to every working American

[u/VladimirSteel]

Mestemaker made $291k today to go 28/48 for 239yd and 1 TD/2 INT against fucking Tulsa

[u/sevenlabors → u/VladimirSteel]

I love this sport.

[u/Arctic_x22]

Smallest school in the FBS btw

[u/Ibaxy]

There’s an OSU fan in this thread declaring this is a 7-5 team

[u/doublethet → u/Ibaxy]

What’s your beef with OSU?

[u/Ibaxy → u/doublethet]

Just stating it for the record

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

I take back almost everything I said about Alan Bowman, that's how bad this is

[u/Jacer4]

I've just now had the realization that college sports are stupid and the Thunder are the only thing that matters

[u/Wafflehouseofpain → u/Jacer4]

Thunder up

[u/United-Caterpillar53 → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

Thunder Up, and Reign Cane!

[u/TibertZ]

Welcome to the AAC Okstate!

[u/brobot_]

Bedlam 2.0 back 2 back winners!

[u/Podoboo322]

Oh wow I just checked the score. Not a great start to the post-Gundy era

[u/ed_mcc → u/Podoboo322]

I'm having a great time

[u/Podoboo322 → u/ed_mcc]

Hey go jackets

[u/ed_mcc → u/Podoboo322]

Oil town + GT flair combo club

[u/Queasy-Performance-4]

Losing to Tulsa 2 years in a row?

Very bad, 'Boys. Very bad.

[u/drunkymcdrunkaccount]

absolute dog shit performance

[u/KineticReverbs]

Well it’s official. UNT scored more against #6 Indiana than OkState did against Tulsa…

I’m so sorry

[u/OwnWalrus1752 → u/KineticReverbs]

People were talking about how UNT would’ve put up huge numbers with Mestemaker against Indiana today.

I think Tayven Jackson might be the guy.

[u/TheWesternRizzler]

Another one

[u/NobodysDarling405]

Insult to injury. 

[u/frick_this_fricking]

The final score makes this look a lot closer than it was

[u/ShweatyPalmsh]

Doesn’t matter who the coach is we kicked their asses two years in a row

[u/Responsible-Bass4020]

ouuu shii

[u/dogeherodotus]

Whoops!

[u/Haydttt]

TLSA!

[u/TheJewBakka]

Bye. Might not see y'all for awhile.

[u/kadune → u/TheJewBakka]

Take care of yourself.

[u/Responsible-Bass4020 → u/TheJewBakka]

see ya when the thunder is back

[u/AirmanLarry]

Waste fraud and abuse by whoever cut the checks on this team

[u/SenorOlives]

It’s going to be a rough decade of cowboy football

[u/n9necent]

LOLLLLL ANOTHER INTERCEPTION MESTEMAGIC WAS LEFT IN DENTON

[u/RampageTaco]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/cprice602]

I’d respect Chad Weiberg if he just went ahead and forfeited next week’s game before Oregon gets on the plane. Don’t waste theirs or the fans time and effort and give the team an extra week to prep for the only game we have a chance at winning: Murray St

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/cprice602]

Real

[u/lordofaesir]

THAT was insulting. I love it.

[u/DrLipschitz69]

Belt to ass

[u/Wafflehouseofpain]

Jacksonville, Mississippi? Does he mean Jackson?

[u/Hawlk]

ref tried to get a tackle

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/Hawlk]

Fr

[u/ThatFellaTrey]

I’ll be at the bottom of the Verdigris River if anyone needs me

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/ThatFellaTrey]

Real

[u/okiewxchaser → u/ThatFellaTrey]

Good luck finding water in Oklahoma

[u/MidnightIndo]

I didn't watch Mestemaker outside of the Championship game against Tulane last year, but so far dude does not look worth the $7mill he's supposed to be making in NIL.

[u/No_Owl_578 → u/MidnightIndo]

Saw that game live. Didn’t understand the hype but gave him benefit of the doubt and was interested to see how he does with OSU resources…

[u/Podoboo322 → u/MidnightIndo]

You guys paid $7M for a qb from UNT?

[u/bbates728 → u/MidnightIndo]

7 MILLION DOLLARS!!!???? What are you guys thinking?

[u/TheWesternRizzler]

It happened again? Lol

[u/Perturabo_Iron_Lord]

I just realized OSU has Phillips 66 headsets and Tulsa has QT headsets.

[u/CptCheese → u/Perturabo_Iron_Lord]

Fucked up given that Phillips is in Bartlesville. They should sponsor Oklahoma Wesleyan

[u/Haydttt → u/Perturabo_Iron_Lord]

QT remains the best gas station chain

[u/lordofaesir → u/Haydttt]

KwikTrip is hard competition imo. Lived around both.

[u/Perturabo_Iron_Lord → u/Haydttt]

Nah oncue is better

[u/Affectionate_Seat809]

First two wins in a row since the 50s I think???

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/Affectionate_Seat809]

Yup, last multi-year streak was 50-52.

[u/djnerio]

Well, I want to say it's been fun. But it hasn't lpol

[u/lordofaesir]

Guys, Tulsa Bros, Guys Guys Guys... We fucking did it.

[u/Wafflehouseofpain → u/lordofaesir]

Please be actually good this year

[u/lordofaesir → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

I make zero promises with Tulsa sports. I woulda thought we would suck in basketball last year and then we fumbled the NIT final in spectacular fashion.

[u/AirmanLarry]

God what a punch in the dick

[u/Mythrandir24]

Wow no urgency from Cowboys

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds → u/Mythrandir24]

Players are lame. 7.5 min left in game and it took 3 minutes of game clock to go 20 yards

They gave up

[u/RampageTaco]

Draw play on 1st down is an interesting choice.

[u/CptCheese]

I think this is the first time TU has beaten OSU in succession like this since the 40s??

[u/Skank_hunt42 → u/CptCheese]

50-52 was a 3 game streak

[u/jalexjsmithj]

lol get Hawkins out of the game

[u/Wafflehouseofpain]

I’m not sure what Morris is going to have to say after this. Like how do you keep everyone from giving up on you?

[u/CrunchyChewie → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

He has no choice but to declare his gender and age loudly.

[u/Terminal_Terry → u/CrunchyChewie]

He’s got small shoes to fill that’s for sure

[u/Skank_hunt42]

Baylor and Auburn potential OT scenario 👀

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/Skank_hunt42]

I'll turn it to that once this is over smh

[u/cartierrr]

Someone find Gundy and check him into Laureate

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/cartierrr]

What is that?

[u/cartierrr → u/FrenchFreedom888]

Mental Health facility in Tulsa

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/cartierrr]

Oh yeah, some people in my family were telling me about that a while back

[u/YouWereBrained → u/cartierrr]

It has housed some “known” people.

[u/0x_Barth]

Legit might be the worst team I’ve watched in years. You guys are absolutely screwed for the rest of the season. Embarrassing

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/0x_Barth]

Flair up

[u/0x_Barth → u/FrenchFreedom888]

No need. Just know you’re doomed to a lifetime of football mediocrity and underperformance

[u/DillyDillySzn]

How did UNT go 11-2 last year

Those are the real questions that need to be answered

[u/BigZaddyZayCare → u/DillyDillySzn]

Morris' teams weren't ever that great. It was 3 years of .500 football and 1 great season. Last year was solid, UNT ended the year ranked and the team had great chemistry. But even then, Morris did not have a huge win as a coach at UNT.

[u/YouWereBrained → u/DillyDillySzn]

Morris had built the program more by that point.

[u/n9necent → u/DillyDillySzn]

Because we’ve got spunk.

[u/NihilisticOkie]

Why is anyone acting surprised? Gundy left this program in a pit of misery. Morris isn't Cignetti. This team will be lucky to win 5 games this year. The Alumni should be disappointed they paid that much for Mestemaker and Morris needs to learn to not run the ball up the middle over and over with a patchwork O Line. It's like watching Kasey Dunn all over again.

[u/YouWereBrained → u/NihilisticOkie]

Can’t believe this is downvoted. Morris needed to make some adjustments to the gameplan when Sexton left the game, but he didn’t.

[u/NobodysDarling405 → u/NihilisticOkie]

They hated him because he spoke the truth. 

[u/Skank_hunt42]

Expect the shirtless dudes to be back in section 32 next game.

[u/CptCheese]

IT IS A RIVALRY GAME YOU DIPSHIT COMMENTATOR

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Tre Lamb fucking owns us

[u/allwatchnocattle → u/jalexjsmithj]

Yall should throw all of your funds at him
And his qb, what could go wrong?

[u/Wafflehouseofpain]

The funniest outcome from today is Tulsa going undefeated all year and it turns out they just became a juggernaut, and OSU wins like 7 games

[u/AirmanLarry → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

You take that deal? I’d take that deal

[u/HispanicaBassoonica → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

It would be really the most Oklahoma state thing ever if they went 10-2 or so after this

[u/lordofaesir → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

This is the best for the state as a whole

[u/jdelg1]

Putting all your eggs in one basket (poaching one schools program)

[u/Quick-Expert-4608]

Oh boy. I think OKST is cursed

[u/NobodysDarling405 → u/Quick-Expert-4608]

Sold their souls to win the last Bedlam game. 

[u/Queasy-Performance-4 → u/NobodysDarling405]

I get the feeling they'd make that deal 1000 times again, if they had to do it over.

[u/ShweatyPalmsh]

As if tradition OSU has to fire Eric Morris after this game 

[u/PeanutButterOtter]

Just saw the score. The Mestemaker hype lasted all of 4 quarters.

[u/MidnightIndo → u/PeanutButterOtter]

Dude looks like hot garbage. And some of these passes are giving me Alan Bowman flashbacks.

[u/TheMarcolmX → u/MidnightIndo]

Line was an absolute disaster on both sides against what should be far less competition

[u/CowbogRS → u/PeanutButterOtter]

More like 2.

[u/DillyDillySzn → u/PeanutButterOtter]

More like 1 drive

[u/TibertZ]

Feels weird I'm actually happy we don't have this team/coach anymore.

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

Fold the team.

[u/JerryGoDeep]

Yeah this is something alright

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Not to gloat but this is the kind of performance I was afraid we were gonna have today. Especially as Campbell's 2016 team lost the first game to UNI and home openers against FCS teams have not always been kind to us.

[u/jalexjsmithj]

If you had told me this was going to happen 3 minutes into this game, I would have laughed at you. Implosion after implosion

[u/Even-Combination4407]

Probably the fastest a hype train has crashed and burned since UNC last year

[u/YouWereBrained → u/Even-Combination4407]

Please tell me Morris’ wife/gf is interfering with team activities.

[u/YouWereBrained]

Oregon is going to cancel the program.

[u/faders]

Hockey school now

[u/Skank_hunt42 → u/faders]

My ninja

[u/lordofaesir]

EVERYONE GO SEE AN FC TULSA GAME SOMETIME SINCE APPARENTLY WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRO SPORTS!!!!

[u/Userdub9022 → u/lordofaesir]

I was so bummed when we lost in the finals last year

[u/lordofaesir → u/Userdub9022]

Imagine never conceding a goal in regulation and losing the finals 0-0 on PKs what a freaking nightmare those last few minutes were. I was heartbroken in the stands, just stunned.

[u/pony19]

Tulsa starting the season strong against AAC rival North Texas

[u/Terminal_Terry → u/pony19]

I was gonna say, I’m so glad we get to play UNT twice this year!

[u/lordofaesir → u/pony19]

Norther Texas

[u/MotorSevere4899]

So it turns out that stealing North Texas‘s entire program wasn’t enough to drag OSU out of the basement

[u/ShweatyPalmsh]

Love OSU talking so much shit before this game. Lamb was right “we are going to kick their asses”

[u/ArchiCEC]

At least they have wrestling lmao

[u/djnerio → u/ArchiCEC]

Hey, we have equestrian as well. 😂

[u/Jacer4]

I'm legit not even kidding axe the program

[u/PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS]

Super nice of Tulsa to pay this absolutely destitute and lost program to come play a game. I know cupcake games are frowned upon but it’s just good neighborly behavior to help out a struggling in-state school.

[u/cprice602]

Free money advice for everyone: bet any under for Oklahoma state at any point this year and parlay it with their opponent to cover the spread and it’s free money

[u/PolicyEntire3375]

This game is a case study on why a good offensive line is needed to play winning football, mestemaker looks scared and out of his depth because of it. Season is a wash at this point, going to be 1-2 going into conference play.

[u/VladimirSteel → u/PolicyEntire3375]

Bold of you to think we'll beat Murray State

[u/PolicyEntire3375 → u/VladimirSteel]

Murray state lost as 9 point favs at home and is the worst team in there respective conference.

[u/Wafflehouseofpain]

On the bright side, Oregon also looks inexplicably mid today

[u/CrunchyChewie → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

Yea but now they’ve got a week to get dialed in and be angry after a close, sloppy game against a notoriously pesky BSU team… Ducks gonna hang 70 on this team.

[u/CptCheese]

I am smiling like an idiot once again.

[u/Evening_Ad4108]

Stole the north texas team and still worse than north texas. Crazy

[u/Spare_Treacle_800]

OK State taking North Texas’ best players to still lose to Tulsa is objectively funny

[u/ozarkhick]

Just imposing ourselves on them physically

[u/IhateLukaDoncic]

Hehehe

Go mean green

[u/Even-Combination4407]

I think the Monster sponsorship cursed the Big 12 and TCU and OK State are evidence

[u/Express_Dinner7918 → u/Even-Combination4407]

Hey Baylor is being competitive with Auburn.

[u/BigTimeSpider]

How much are they paying him lmao???

[u/bbates728]

The fuck is this guy talking about? Tulsa has the drillers, FC Tulsa, the Thunder down the road and all of us are either OSU fans or OU fans anyway

[u/lordofaesir → u/bbates728]

We really need to get FC Tulsa more into the Zeitgeist. I love those guys to death and we gotta get attendance up.

[u/bbates728 → u/lordofaesir]

I need to go and sit in the supporters section. I have only gone to a $2 beer night and sat in that section. Beer was fun, the rest of the experience was terrible. This year it has been too hot to fuck with

[u/lordofaesir → u/bbates728]

Playoffs in supporters is where it is at, we are on pace to make it, definitely get you some GA playoff tickets!

[u/okiewxchaser → u/lordofaesir]

Williams wants to build a stadium in the NW corner of downtown for them

[u/lordofaesir → u/okiewxchaser]

I hope and pray, with Williams moving though, who knows if it will actually come to fruition.

[u/okiewxchaser → u/lordofaesir]

Williams isn't moving

[u/Affectionate_Seat809 → u/lordofaesir]

Go to a Tulsa athletic game next summer!

[u/lordofaesir → u/Affectionate_Seat809]

I alas had to move from Tulsa this year, but yea when I start traveling home again I will be planning sports outings. I have been an avid Tulsa Soccer fan since they were the roughnecks still. We got a crumb of new stadium here recently.

[u/Affectionate_Seat809 → u/lordofaesir]

Tulsa athletic are the cool version of fc tulsa

[u/lordofaesir → u/Affectionate_Seat809]

Sure Jan

[u/No_Adhesiveness4890]

Tulsa could go undefeated this season

[u/Terminal_Terry → u/No_Adhesiveness4890]

Arkansas payed us 1.5 mil for us to dog walk them later this year. We are so unbelievably back.

[u/DizzyDraw2323]

First 3rd down conversion of the game for one last kick in the nuts

[u/drunkymcdrunkaccount]

Well my excitement for the season has completely evaporated. What a soul crusher.

[u/okiewxchaser]

Tulsa does have an AA baseball team...

[u/ShweatyPalmsh → u/okiewxchaser]

Drillers are lowkey really good too 

[u/inclink10 → u/okiewxchaser]

Drillers, and Oilers for hockey.

[u/allwatchnocattle]

I was told mestemaker was a better qb than John Mateer?

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

What in the hell are y’all doing pokes?

[u/Skank_hunt42]

I feel like this is a "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed".....type of scenario

[u/MrLeftwardSloping → u/Skank_hunt42]

No they should absolutely be mad. Just gave a bunch of money to a loser head coach and quarterback and now its gonna be alot harder to get more money from boosters moving forward

[u/Skank_hunt42 → u/MrLeftwardSloping]

They just had a large investment into the hockey program.....👀

[u/DebitsOnTheLeft]

~$300,000 to lose this game. I would've started at QB for a River Spirit buffet voucher and $20 for the slot machines.

[u/Texan92]

Never felt so good to be 2nd best team in OK!

[u/Alamis_Mistrunner → u/Texan92]

Y'all probably would have given us a better game than UTEP

[u/babymama_maker55]

How many Oklahoma State fans does it take to change a lightbulb?

[u/General_Killmore → u/babymama_maker55]

I don't know. How many?

[u/huntir1 → u/babymama_maker55]

1-11

[u/Bill3ffinMurray]

Usually a team improves most between the first and second game.

Looks at Oklahoma State’s schedule

Well…

[u/DillyDillySzn → u/Bill3ffinMurray]

They’re no Boise State that’s for sure

[u/RIP_lime_skittle]

I think the pokes found their new in-state rival

[u/KineticReverbs]

I’m sorry you got conned into buying a UNT roster OKState fans…that will never get you anything. Trust me I know.

[u/TFred23]

OSU was like a 13 point favorite against Tulsa.

[u/Icy-Recognition-8700]

Tulsa. Fucking Tulsa. This is the most pathetic shit I have ever seen in my life. Send this bum ass qb to the G5 and the whole fucking school while we’re at it

[u/lordofaesir → u/Icy-Recognition-8700]

This is in fact way worse than last year somehow

[u/UmphreysMcGee]

Being an OSU fan is basically volunteering for complex  PTSD

[u/sevenlabors → u/UmphreysMcGee]

I was close to getting tickets and going to the game today but let me tell you even with the temperature I am glad I decided to skip town in favor of a scenic drive down in the Ouachitas. 

No radio and limited mobile data means this shitty ass game has been way less stress.

[u/lordofaesir]

What a stat! first 3rd down

[u/TitaniumC4206]

tbf it's hard to beat the 2nd best team in Oklahoma

[u/Skank_hunt42 → u/TitaniumC4206]

Brutal.
