It's GAMEDAY and I can't sleep

[The original ArgyleFrog]

Rolled out of bed at 4:30 this morning not being able to sleep.... I thought I'd type up a little motivation and prediction for everyone to read this morning (if they even get a chance with the 11am kickoff!)

I've watched OU a lot lately, especially their wins at WVU and against OSU last week. We all saw the insane amount of yards racked up on their defense... and while our offense is not as prolific as those right now, if we can produce a little over half the output of those teams by grinding out a strong running game, intermediate passes and the occasional play action long ball, we win this game. Our D is playing lights out and will put a lot of pressure against OU's decimated line with 4-5 rushers... we all know the key to beating OU is to get in Landry Jones' face early and often... if we can do this, he WILL make mistakes.. we've seen it time and time again, and our secondary is becoming a ball hawking secondary playing with confidence and swagger

OU is tired, hurt (at least, that'll be their excuse if they lose).. their players all watched Kent State almost beat NIU last night while in the hotel, and since an NIU win puts them in the BCS potentially knocking OU out of an at large, OU just lost a little more motivation for this game... no doubt about it Stoops will have them ready to play, but I predict and hope their intensity for this early kickoff will be met and overcome with fierce, hungry, fighting frog team looking for their Marquee victory on the year...

Frogs Win, fighting off a late OU rally, 24-20

BE LOUD FROG FANS, and GO FROGS!!!

[Frogs On A Plane]

Crazy night at Maxs Wine Dive. Went to bed at 4. Now we're up at 645 doing Titos and Red Bull. Gameday.

Go Frogs!!

Guess many of us are up early! I feel like last week where I thought we would play Texas a close game and we got off to a fast start. I think the team will be wanting to fight hard to win one at home in the first year of the Big 12. Just hope we don't get too many banged up and out for the Bowl Game!

It's gameday and all I want to do is sleep. Damned 11am start. But tailgating isn't going to do itself. So I'm up. And I'll be ready. Go Frogs!!

 

[Horned Toad]

I'm ready. Family still snoozing. Been up since 6:30 AM.

 

[Black-it-out-Frog!]

Too excited to sleep! Woke up 6:45 East coast!

 

[rifram09]

Agree.

(But will NIU really make it all the way from 21 to 16? Idk)

Up at 5, already on campus and ready to go. BTW plenty of east side street parking available as of 7:40

Up at 5:30 this AM... flew in from Chicago yesterday. This is my Bowl game for this year...can't wait to get to campus and see the new stadium!!

I think you've got the NIU-Kent State game mixed up. A Kent State win would've been the sure fire lock to knock them out of the BCS as they were ranked 17.

Yep. NIU now has to jump up five spots, whereas Kent State only would have had to jump up one spot.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Yup, we're going to get OU's best effort today, should be fun!

 

[Obvious Troll]

Finishing the season with wins against UNLV and New Mexico...
vs.
Finishing the season with wins against Texas and Oklahoma

I could be wrong,
but there seems to be more enthusiasm being in the Big 12 vs. the MWC.
Especially when just about every fan board already counts this as an OU win.
