OU vs tulane Score Prediction Thread

[OUSOONER67]

Who you got?

I will go with the good guys, I think maybe Houston got their attention and they realize they can't just roll their helmets out there and get a win because it has OU on them.

OU 24 tulane 14

 

[loopafied352]

17-3 OU

 

[trademarcs]

BV still doesn’t have anything figured out. Our first loss Tulane by 10

Oof!

 

[OUnabomber]

17 - 10 OU and thats IF we play good

 

[Soonerborn59]

Hopefully since I decided to make the 5 hour trip we win. I made the Temple game earlier so I am going to say OU squeeks one out 23-13.

Depending on how the season goes I may also make the S Carolna game.

 

[Soonerborn59]

Just for the record though I could see it going the way Trademarcs projected.

 

[Oklabama]

I think we win if the defense can hold Tulane to 7-10 points.

 

[Larry4681]

Tulane 24 OU 10. Our O is trash right now

 

[LAY THE WOODY]

Put the crack pipes down you idiots.

Sooners 24-3.

 

[Plainosooner]

We do better when I badmouth us, so I pick Tulane 24-21. If you think that OU will hold Tulane to single digits, you are much more confident in OUr defense than I am.

 

[ShamWowed]

Tulane 27 OU 21

This will be the first loss this season. Tulane is a decent enough team to pull it off.
Yeah I know, I'm great at parties though.

Hope I'm wrong

 

[iasooner24]

38-10 Sooners
Even if JA is playing well we have two or more QBs playing Saturday night in the slot or wildcat to start opening up the playbook.
D needs to create scoring opportunities and kicking game must be good. Above all, no stupid penalties !

I’m kinda surprised that you feel our defense is so weak. If you’re right, and you may be, OU is in for a very, very long season. I have a feeling we may be, but I haven’t even considered it to be a defensive issue. IMO, our problems are strictly with the offense.

 

[OUSOONER67]

I haven't watched Tulane play but have heard people that have say Tulane is the better team.
I predicted an OU win but my level of confidence on that is about 40%.
I think the defense is good, how good is hard to say because we still haven't played a good team so far and won't until JH and Rocky Top rolls into Norman.
I think we are in for a long season so I am just gonna enjoy football while it is here. Nothing I can do to make it not happen so not gonna stress over it.

 

[Medic007]

Fun fact. Tulane is the only football team OU has played that has had their logo painted on Owen Field (hurricane). Weird thing, three years later, another hurricane hit Louisiana this week. Is that an omen of good? Or bad? I'm afraid we may need all the Sooner Magic we can get our hands on to pull out a win against Tulane.

I dread Tennessee. You know Josh is eagerly awaiting to crush the Sooners. And I don’t blame him. But we need to find a way to man up and send him back to Tennessee dragging his ass.

Yep 1st Conference Game for OU in the SEC and Josh fired by Bob and hires TBOW to replace him and look at what TBOW ended up doing.
Josh will want to give us a huge loss thats for sure especially since it will be a Welcome Party into the Conference, one that he wants to crash.
And I can't blame him either.

Totally agree.

On the radio today, Bob Stoops stopped by and was asked about the struggles on offense and the upcoming Tulane game. The jest of his answer was that “ as coaches you can prepare your team to play but ultimately it is the players who decide the outcome of games”.

So in my mind it is another way to say that players can make or break coaches. I am not really sure what to make of that because I think the way a game is called by the OC snd DC can also be why a team succedes or fails.

 

[veritas59]

Tulane 5-0. Multiple shutouts coming without drastic improvement on offense. 1 for 12 on 3rd down conversions against lowly Temple and only one good drive and 249 yards total offense against a Houston team that was rolled by UNLV the previous week. If not for the gift of the muffed punt that the Houston returner didn't touch, last week would have been an L. Five of the top 7 ranked teams still to come plus LSU and Auburn on the road and a better than expected South Carolina team at home. The only remaining game that I'm confident we'll win is Maine. Gonna be a long, painful season; we could end up with 3 or 4 wins total. In other words, my pre-season Kool-Aide has been metabolized.

Not sure what to make of what Bob said. I think its just Coachspeak. As a Coach himself you probably won't ever hear him blame anything on bad coaching. I take what Bob says anyway with a grain of salt, he also said recently that he and TBOW are still friends. If anything ever cut Bob its what TBOW pulled and I bet it still cuts him to this day. Friends?

If we have the season like most are now thinking we will I expect recruiting will tank big time.

 

[Soonerborn59]

Not only recruiting but I would hope that Joe C gives walking papers and starts all over with new hires. 0-8 would be the lows of lows in conference. Even Boo Blake at least won a conf game or 2 in every season.

Wonder how long it would take OU to recover from it if it did happen.

 

[loopafied352]

One game at a time. Let's just see how they play tomorrow.

Tulane 27 OU 21

Hope I'm wrong

Hope you and I are both wrong. The one thing we really have going for us, is that Tulane dealt with hurricane disruption this week. That could help us a little.

WTF! God dam almighty!

What’s your problem?

My problem is critical negative folk. Frickin chaps my ass.

LMAO. You better get use to it. There’s more to come most likely. This is going to be a difficult season.

 

[ATXSooner10]

50-0

 

[LAY THE WOODY]

You'd think I'd be used to it by now. Hang on and laugh all you want. I don't come here to cry. Makes me sick to my God dam stomach. Good luck. 👍

This is a family board wooly. Wait until after the Saturday abortion to let the language fly.

Thanks billy.

Thanks billy.

You may not have detected the sarcasm. Someone mentioned it was a "family" board to me a while back. Still, be prepared for the weeping and gnashing of teeth after tomorrow.

 

[OUSOONER67]

For whatever reason I think we're ****ed. God dam almighty we're ****ed fellas!

Last week vs Houston High you were pretty negative.
It happens and I agree we are $%&#ed

I did my man. I'm as pissed and disgruntled as the next guy. Myself, more.

Was I wrong?

 

[LAY THE WOODY]

I guess I gotta slow my roll.

 

[OUSOONER67]

Just yanking your chain Woody. Hopefully we all feel a little better tomorrow but I gotta say it may be a crappy Saturday and a lot more of em to follow.
