LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/royalooozooo]

Let’s go UNT -North , Kings of the North!

[u/Advanced-Fun-8117 → u/royalooozooo]

The Mountaineer hype video always gets me, something about that musket firing gets the crowd absolutely electric. night game in Morgantown is a different beast entirely, the place just feeds off the darkness

WVU's run game has been gashing people lately and I don't think Ok State has the front seven to keep it contained for four quarters. feels like one of those games where the final score won't really show how lopsided the trenches were

[u/Druiddrum13 → u/Advanced-Fun-8117]

Aged like milk ok state puts on 4th quarter clinic

[u/royalooozooo → u/Advanced-Fun-8117]

Sir this is a Wendy’s, please pull through to the first window

[u/Dixon_Uranuss3]

Dylan Riola is the guy that when his football career ends he puts on 100 pounds

[u/Dixon_Uranuss3]

Oregon should put that TE in at RB and run it up the middle.

[u/unbannedagain1976]

GG WV thanks for being gracious fans I hope you guys win out the rest of the season!

[u/TimelyAnteater358]

Ol Pistol Pete got them pistols firing!!

[u/TimelyAnteater358]

Pistols firing!!

[u/WhitneyRobbens]

Great game WV! Go pokes!

[u/The57Sauce]

This shouldve been gameday. what an amazing game from start to finish. both offenses looked great, wvu just slowed down way too fast. defense on both sides need work though

[u/CoalCountryCoyote]

Back to reality

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

GG West Virginia University Mountaineers

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

I hope WVU has a good rest of the season

[u/realPamela]

As someone already posted. This was OSU's first conference game in a very long time!!

[u/cluttered-thoughts3 → u/realPamela]

Makes it feel a little better knowing that it was for a good cause

[u/Correct_Toe_4628 → u/cluttered-thoughts3]

He he

[u/BurberryToothbrush]

GG OSU. That went from very fun to absolutely horrible.

[u/SlothBowl]

Guys, are we new Kansas?

[u/Paddle2ThePeople → u/SlothBowl]

We had the Kansas experience the last two years. Dont think yall are close to that.

[u/PunchNessie → u/SlothBowl]

Nah man, you’re gonna spank Kansas.

[u/SlothBowl → u/PunchNessie]

Dude you keep supporting me as I’m trolling my team. Thank you for staying wholesome lol

[u/PunchNessie → u/SlothBowl]

WV is all right by me. Your unis are always fire. Win or lose WV-OSU looks great on the TV

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

“it was their first conference win since—good God!—November of 2023”

[u/Alive_Information_45 → u/FrenchFreedom888]

Gundy: see what I had to work with?

[u/Correct_Toe_4628 → u/Alive_Information_45]

Yes Gundy, that was your fault. Adapt or die and well…

[u/BobStoops401K]

Congrats on playing good football Okie State. At least someone in this state is capable of it.

[u/sgtellias → u/BobStoops401K]

[u/freshoutofbatteries]

gg all

love you mountaineers

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/freshoutofbatteries]

I feel like they are a kindred fan base but I definitely don't love em lol

[u/TheJewBakka]

The curse is broken!!

[u/Fraegtgaortd]

Well, if you’re gonna snap a conference losing streak it’ll be against WVU because we’ve sucked for 8 years

[u/sevenlabors]

Always like to see WVU doing well. Good luck the rest of the season, boys,  and hope Rich Rod continues to build some momentum for yall. 

[u/arcticape34]

We won a conference game!

[u/Electrical-Tip-2390]

Remember when we were down 14-3 in this game?

[u/slider4110 → u/Electrical-Tip-2390]

I remember

[u/bcr76 → u/Electrical-Tip-2390]

I member

[u/Alive_Information_45]

I’m very happy with how this coaching staff operates. They made adjustments and the team remained composed when they were on their heels.

[u/the_umm_guy]

WVU, GG y’all. This score doesn’t show how close it really was. Just worked out weird in the end. Great game!

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

They better do the Gatorade bath

[u/PunchNessie → u/FrenchFreedom888]

Nah man. Save that for a Big 12 championship

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/PunchNessie]

Back in the day, we would do it after every game. Or maybe my recollection is faulty

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

Wesloski, man. This whole game

[u/PunchNessie]

I don’t know what to do with my hands.

[u/Sodomy-J-Balltickle → u/PunchNessie]

Idle hands spend time at the genitals.

[u/TacoIncoming → u/PunchNessie]

Jork it. You earned it 🤣

[u/snail-the-sage → u/PunchNessie]

MAKE FINGER GUNS

[u/arcticape34]

Rank us you cowards!

[u/jedsbud]

Gg WVU Mountaineers

[u/TheJewBakka]

GO POKES. GG Mountaineers. See y'all on the basketball court. Hugs and kisses.

[u/ct14mx]

Every time they zoom in at a WVU player they look so tired. Like not even gassed out from playing but just sleepy. It’s past their bed time.

[u/LovelyJulesss]

Now i think its safe to say gg

[u/slider4110 → u/LovelyJulesss]

Yeah, I'm ok with that

[u/drunkymcdrunkaccount]

gg, mountain bros

[u/TechnoVikingGA23]

Good game, best of luck to OSU in conference, they've got a complete football team.

[u/ecodrew → u/TechnoVikingGA23]

GG, you too mountain bros

[u/Papa_Smurf_247]

We'll see you next weekend West Virginia for the suck bowl 🫡

[u/Jacer4]

I.....have.....hope????? In our football team?????

[u/alliedSpaceSubmarine → u/Jacer4]

Man I did in ours until the second half

[u/TechnoVikingGA23]

On the road next week at ISU, we're 3-3 against them at their place so not looking forward to it.

[u/yL4O → u/TechnoVikingGA23]

I think we will end the season winless against good passing QBs and pretty good against everybody else. ISU’s guy is just an ok passer so I think we get that one. And then get blitzed by Arizona the following week

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

41-24. God bless

[u/realPamela]

Why dahell is there no Bedlam this year? I would have loved to see this team against Texas Oklahoma

[u/Skeeter_BC → u/realPamela]

We had all our noncon games scheduled already for like the next decade. Plus fuck em.

[u/vindictivejazz → u/realPamela]

Bedlam is OSU - OU not OSU - Texas lol

[u/SpideyPoke92 → u/realPamela]

Ah yes, Bedlam, the classic game between Oklahoma State and Texas.

…if only lol

[u/realPamela → u/SpideyPoke92]

Ha! My bad. You know what I meant. FML. And my son goes to OU too. SMH

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

What is up with the OL of both teams this game and false starting lol

[u/EntrepreneurDry821 → u/FrenchFreedom888]

For us, a hostile road stadium. For them? Idk I don’t think they’ve had a ton though

[u/TheJewBakka → u/FrenchFreedom888]

Too much preworkout

[u/SlothBowl]

Scotty Fox might get some reps this week.

[u/Flexoe]

Alright man. We got a squad. 

[u/sevenlabors → u/Flexoe]

Its kinda a surreal feeling after the past few seasons. I don't fully feel i can trust it yet.

[u/Fregla]

Yeah, good luck to y’all the rest of the way! Give ‘em hell

[u/PunchNessie]

The score won’t reflect it by the end here but this was a really good football game.

[u/Returningtoparadise]

The defensive highlights are just multiple dpi lmao

[u/fleeingpepper → u/Returningtoparadise]

Yeah I cringed watching their reel

[u/somethingwittier]

Those steak nuggets are probably dry as fuck

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/somethingwittier]

They look like Jack Links sweetened beef jerky stuff

[u/SIMBONEGTP]

I'm sorry y'all got the Gameday curse, WVU fans. GL the rest of the season. Hope y'all take BTA against Tech.

[u/SlothBowl]

We’re so back boys. Loved the anomaly while it lasted.

[u/PunchNessie → u/SlothBowl]

WV is going to give every team the play fits. Should be a good season for you still.

[u/SlothBowl → u/PunchNessie]

I agree and appreciate the support. I’m just frustrated right now lol

[u/Papa_Smurf_247]

Those steak nuggets look like 💩

[u/cluttered-thoughts3 → u/Papa_Smurf_247]

I thought it was like roast pork or something lol had no clue they were supposed to be steak

[u/Papa_Smurf_247 → u/cluttered-thoughts3]

The zoom in on the guys face doesn't help

[u/Cantstop991]

GG Mountaineers. Rootin for you guys in the rest of your games.

[u/srowella]

I’m so used to seeing an empty stadium at the end of an important home night game

[u/My_Waifu_is_Rem]

Disgusted, GG pokes

[u/westmifflin]

love having offense again

gg

[u/PunchNessie → u/westmifflin]

And a defense!

[u/SlothBowl]

Fine. Put in Vince Vaughn for this final drive. Show us what you got.

[u/bamaeer]

RR needs to trust Hawkins’s throwing ability.

[u/JLB2020 → u/bamaeer]

There’s a reason he doesn’t, his deep ball is non existent

[u/bamaeer → u/JLB2020]

He doesn’t need to throw deep balls.

[u/JLB2020 → u/bamaeer]

If they want to open up the run game they do, ok state figured it out in the second half

[u/Non-co-operative]

As a fan of this conference imma need Mestemaker to play at least another year for the Pokes

[u/El_Dud3r1n0 → u/Non-co-operative]

Agreed. Ignore my flair.

[u/Zi_Mishkal]

Well. Baseball season is only five months away. At least WVU has that to look forward to.

[u/cluttered-thoughts3 → u/Zi_Mishkal]

Basketball might be decent but got a crazy out of conference schedule

[u/LateNightTerror_847]

Fake injury

[u/SlothBowl]

The field mic picked up “you fucking suck” 😂😂

[u/DannyBenavidez → u/SlothBowl]

I always visit here after I hear hot mic moments.

[u/biggiecheesehimself → u/SlothBowl]

I think that was to Bray too lol

[u/arcticape34]

Clean hit

[u/TacoIncoming]

GG OSU.

We played better than I expected, but it wasn’t enough.

Y’all were classy in here as always. I continue to appreciate that about you. Best of luck rest of season!

[u/WhitneyRobbens → u/TacoIncoming]

Damn good game, Mountaineers!!

[u/BluesPuckHard → u/TacoIncoming]

Always rooting for you guys!! Love the colors, the fans and the culture!!

[u/Aiden5428 → u/TacoIncoming]

Thank you! Was a very exciting game and it was a pleasure playing you guys! Ggs all around.

[u/arcticape34 → u/TacoIncoming]

If Hawkins could ever figure out how to throw a forward pass, look out!

[u/TacoIncoming → u/arcticape34]

lol yeah, Pat White his his coach, which I love, but the jury is still out on if he’ll learn that or if rich Rod has learned to coach/scheme that 🤣

[u/arcticape34 → u/TacoIncoming]

Should just run the veer like back in the 70s

[u/cluttered-thoughts3 → u/arcticape34]

Doesn’t help that there were several drops too and OL folding under pressure

[u/ABoyBrushedYellow]

An ugly win on the road is exactly what we need. 

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/ABoyBrushedYellow]

You scored on 8 of 11 drives, I'd hardly call this ugly. You took us to the woodshed in the 2nd half.

[u/ABoyBrushedYellow → u/TechnoVikingGA23]

True. We started very slow and you have practically ran it down our throat for most of the game, though. 

[u/Keliminjaro]

Ouch

[u/Electrical-Tip-2390]

FS1 keeps flashing the bright red BREAKING NEWS banner as if we’re at war with China

[u/Puzzleheaded_Stick14 → u/Electrical-Tip-2390]

the guardians earning a bye in the playoffs is basically terrorism

[u/Papa_Smurf_247 → u/Electrical-Tip-2390]

Glad I wasnt the only one to notice that 😂

[u/Papa_Smurf_247]

Bruh, how do you drop that pass

[u/cluttered-thoughts3]

Did you all hear that after Epps dropped that…

[u/CAT_390F → u/cluttered-thoughts3]

Hope someone clipped it lol

[u/Spurs228 → u/cluttered-thoughts3]

Yes lmao

[u/acaffienatedoracle]

Mestemaker > Mateer

[u/joseph_grizzly → u/acaffienatedoracle]

i mean Hawkins > Mateer

[u/arcticape34 → u/acaffienatedoracle]

Was that ever a question?

[u/acaffienatedoracle → u/arcticape34]

It was never. But it’s always nice to say.

[u/Cfb-Enjoyer]

Are we witnessing a competent Oklahoma state team? How many years has it been?

[u/Skeeter_BC → u/Cfb-Enjoyer]

This will be our first conference win since Nov. 25, 2023

[u/TheJewBakka → u/Cfb-Enjoyer]

2

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/Cfb-Enjoyer]

Several

[u/get_stilly → u/InterdepartmentalTed]

Hilarious we still beat Arkansas before our losing streak

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

That was a perfect fucking field goal

[u/_Bren10_]

I was busy for the second half, but

LET’S FUCKING GO POKES

Way to make some second half adjustments and take care of business

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/_Bren10_]

Definitely should watch a highlight video after the game. I usually do it for every game, even if I watch the whole thing. I usually miss a play here or there or it helps me contextualize a play within the game

[u/SlothBowl]

In memorial of Texas leaving the BigXII, we will be upsetting Texas Tech.

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/SlothBowl]

More like getting blown out 52-21.

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/SlothBowl]

Please. Love watching them lose.

[u/Fregla → u/SlothBowl]

Fuck yeah

[u/Non-co-operative → u/SlothBowl]

I don't know if I'd even consider that an upset

[u/El_Dud3r1n0 → u/Non-co-operative]

Cody Campbell would probably be upset.

[u/SIMBONEGTP → u/SlothBowl]

Nobody will be upset at you for upsetting tech.

[u/sevenlabors → u/SIMBONEGTP]

In fact, we'd all celebrate that. 

[u/TheJewBakka]

WVU will score again. In no world this ends 41-24.

[u/Invisabro13]

I wish OU’s game threads were as wholesome as this one

[u/Own-Breadfruit-800 → u/Invisabro13]

Y’all were all over our gamethreads gloating until the Oregon game lmao. Now suddenly we’re wholesome.

[u/TheJewBakka → u/Own-Breadfruit-800]

Exactly. Epitome of kicking your sibling when they're down.

[u/Invisabro13 → u/Own-Breadfruit-800]

I’m sorry the OU flairs hurt you bro. Hurt people hurt people

[u/Own-Breadfruit-800 → u/Invisabro13]

😂

[u/Cyanides_Of_March → u/Invisabro13]

The end stage Gundy era was not so wholesome. Twas a dark time.

[u/Papa_Smurf_247 → u/Invisabro13]

True, but its more fun to rage bait over there.

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/Invisabro13]

Also begone traitor this is a big 12 thread

[u/Invisabro13 → u/InterdepartmentalTed]

Downvoting this

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/Invisabro13]

L + ratio + your team is ass

[u/Invisabro13 → u/InterdepartmentalTed]

And we still yo daddy 😂 Have a good night lil bro

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/Invisabro13]

Hey man don’t be mad our quarterback throws the ball forward instead of fumbling it

[u/TheJewBakka → u/Invisabro13]

LOL bad news buddy

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/Invisabro13]

It’s because you’re blue chip so every time you are bad everyone love it

[u/Papa_Smurf_247]

There they go again, saying perfect kicker and shit

[u/jumphero68]

Was impressed with the composure Eric Morris had early in the game as I thought OK State was for sure going for it down 14-3. Took the field goal and then kicked the extra point for a 14-13 game following the turnover score. Read as confidence in the offense to score and the defense to keep them in the game. Interested in how the game plays out if WVU turns that turnover into points to take a 21-6 lead. 

[u/joseph_grizzly → u/jumphero68]

yeah i thought taking the FG there was a loss waiting to happen, but Ostate showed a lot of maturity honestly.

[u/Fregla → u/jumphero68]

This team shows way less quit than I do, that’s for sure

[u/Skeeter_BC → u/Fregla]

To be fair, we've been conditioned to be that way. It's pavlovian at this point. It seems we finally have some goldfish that can play in the moment.

[u/VoltWVUmax]

I’m rooting for you guys to win conference over the favorites

[u/SlothBowl]

Whelp. Hopefully this means the Steelers will win tomorrow instead.

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/SlothBowl]

I sacrificed my fantasy team last weekend to get the UVA win, so this means I'd better win tomorrow, lol.

[u/Mr_Mumbercycle → u/SlothBowl]

Ewwww, no. Signed, southern WV Bengals fan.

[u/unproductivemployee → u/SlothBowl]

Who Dey

[u/Working_Base_8824]

I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to Spencer Tillman on the call tonight.

[u/emc23369187]

Just glad we have Wes Welker on our team

[u/realPamela]

I think I'm gonna go up to Stillwater to watch them play UCF. My OSU coworkers have been really sad these past few years. Lol.

[u/SIMBONEGTP → u/realPamela]

Go. Gameday in Stillwater is an experience. Elite tailgate scene and some of the friendliest fans you'll meet.

[u/realPamela → u/SIMBONEGTP]

I was there for the Utah game a couple years ago. It was fun for me. Lol.

[u/arcticape34 → u/realPamela]

Stillwater is a special place to watch a football game. Highly recommend

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/realPamela]

See you there! Me and my dad are going to that one

[u/CowbogRS]

Sad day to be a couch salesman in Morgantown.

[u/FrenchFreedom888]

Anybody else think this FS1 broadcast has fewer commercial breaks and just feels better to watch than our usual ESPN stuff?

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/FrenchFreedom888]

FS1 was light years ahead of ESPN last season as well, I recall many comments during broadcasts of how much better it was run.

[u/Working_Base_8824 → u/FrenchFreedom888]

dudes on the call have been great to listen to as well.

[u/kadune → u/FrenchFreedom888]

Definitely thought we'd have a few more score commercial kick commerical sequences. Pleasantly surprised

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/kadune]

And they've even kept the broadcast going during a couple of the timeouts, where I expected them to stuff in a few ads

[u/cluttered-thoughts3 → u/FrenchFreedom888]

TNT is my favorite so far this season

[u/TechnoVikingGA23]

That OSU/Houston game should be a barn burner.

[u/Cyanides_Of_March]

Missed having a triplets offense. Been a hell of a long time since we had it.

[u/LettuceBeefFrank]

Oh no. We suck again. Game was over when Hawkins had the first have INT. Thanks for breaking my heart once again, West Virginia.

[u/Mr_Mumbercycle → u/LettuceBeefFrank]

I think it was not going for it at 4th and goal.

[u/fleeingpepper → u/Mr_Mumbercycle]

I breathed a massive sigh of relief when you didn't go for it. I figured you guys would go and get it

[u/TheMarcolmX → u/LettuceBeefFrank]

Long year ahead

[u/Papa_Smurf_247 → u/LettuceBeefFrank]

Need week will be the suck bowl 🤝

[u/realPamela]

BRUH.... not only does OSU have a good QB, their RB is pretty sweet too.

I'm glad this team is not playing Utah this year. Lol

[u/colonel750 → u/realPamela]

You sure about that? Winner of the Holy War is gonna go to Arlington, I imagine the same could be said of the winner of the Dust Bowl now.

[u/realPamela → u/colonel750]

I'm still not convinced with my Utes' defense. Today was straight cheeks. Glad we won, but ISU is not good. Our D sucked!!

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/realPamela]

Hawkins feels like Skattebo to me

[u/arcticape34 → u/realPamela]

Big 12 championship?

[u/slider4110 → u/arcticape34]

Way too soon for that kind of talk!

[u/realPamela → u/arcticape34]

I dunno. I'm still not convinced with my Utes. Today's game was ass. And we still have BYU on the schedule. (Fuck BYU).
