Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Yes, I said it:&#160 Coleby Clawson is the dirtiest player in college football.&#160 And that’s my opinion, and it’s not getting rescinded.

at Arlington Heights 21, Azle 3

#3 Oklahoma 13, #20 Fucking Mormon Pussies 7, Blind, Half-Assed Officiating 7

at #22 Nebraska 49, Florida Atlantic 3

UBuffalo 23, at UT-El Paso 17

Dallas 35, at Minnesota 31 (preseason, does not count in the record)

Heights & Azle suffered through 2 separate rain/storm delays, finally ending sometime after 23:00.&#160 Probably should have called the game a lot earlier.

Naaman Roosevelt set a UBuff record with his 20th career TD reception as the Bulls pulled the mild upset of the Miners.&#160 Zac Maynard had 159 yards on 12-19 in his debut.

I must admit, kicking Howard Schnellenberger’s ass for that travesty he pulled with Miami against the Huskers back in the ’80s never gets old.

Zac Lee was 15-22-214 in taking over for the graduated Joey Ganz, and Roy Helu had 157 yards on 17 carries as the Huskers rolled, and the Blackshirts contributed with two interceptions.

The Fucking Mormons came in with the perfect game plan:&#160 Knock Sam Bradford out of the game, and you win.

Well, they did, and they did.&#160 And I’ve already expressed my opinion on what I think of the fucking little Mormon bastard who did it.

Truth be told, though, it’s hard to figure out what’s more responsible for this debacle:&#160 the loss of Bradford, the shitty officiating, or Bob Stoopes’ brain fartage-ery in the second half.

The officals were fucking flag-happy, except when it counted, i.e. during the last Fucking Mormon drive, when their tight end literally backed into the Sooner defensive back in the end zone, drawing a bogus pass-interference call – the fat-ass might as well have had the beepers installed on his backside.&#160 The Fucking Mormons were holding all damned night long, but it was always the Sooners who got called for it, or something, on first- or second-down of most Sooner drives throughout the game, putting both Bradford and backup Landry Jones in deep holes far more often than not.

But OU could have (and should have, IYAM) won this game – or at the very least, we could possibly still be playing overtime right now, even with all of that, except Bob Stoopes and his staff suffered what has to be the Mother Of All Brain-Locks&#153 in the fourth quarter.

Scenario:&#160 OU has just intercepted Maxine Hall and gotten the ball deep in Fucking Mormon territory.&#160 DeMarco Murray & Chris Brown have just gashed the FM defense to the FM 5.&#160 After a pass-interference call in the end zone, the Sooners have the ball at the 2.&#160 Three plays later, the ball is on the 1-inch&#160 line, and it’s now fourth down.

And here is where I tear my hair out at teams I like who do this.

OU has this nasty habit of bringing the offense up to the line quickly, getting set…then having the QB back off and turn to the sideline for any possible audibles, based on how the defense lines up.&#160 In a situation like the aforementioned 4th-and-1-inch, you want to just line up and go.&#160 Maybe do a hard count to make the D-line jump and get off-balance before you ram it down their throat, but you just want your line to fire off and push people back.&#160 Besides, with 4th-and-1, everyone knows what’s coming anyway, so it’s not like anyone’s gonna be fooled, right?

Right?

Well, Bobby Stoopes has Landry Jones turn back to the sideline to get the call – except they don’t have time this time to do that, and they lose track of the play clock.

Boom – flag.&#160 Delay-of-game, five yards, still fourth down.&#160 Jimmy Stevens kicks the field goal, and OU has 13 when they should have had 17.&#160 Ball game.

Bobby Big Game, I’m severely disappointed in you and your staff’s collective ass.

Lookit.&#160 You just lost to a vastly&#160 inferior team.&#160 TCU’s gonna take these pussies and beat the shit out of them in Provo in October – and you let them hang around.&#160 And after the BCS championship game, you had all spring & summer to game-plan for this one, and you fucking blew&#160 it and lost to a half-assed excuse-for-a-team whose best shot was to cheap-shot your quarterback.

You people need to pull your heads out of your asses now, before you have to play the Miami Hurricanes in a couple of weeks.

If I were you, I’d game-plan right now to bomb Idaho State out of Owen Field next week.&#160 Every effin’ play a drop-back pass, just to get Jones used to a rush.&#160 Else, it’s going to be blitz, pressure, sack, rinse, lather, repeat&#160 until Bradford comes back, and maybe even after that.

Remember I mentioned the two-out-of-three game facets thingie a couple weeks back?

I s’pose you could say Dallas did okay on offense – it was hard to tell with four turnovers, three of which led to ViQueen touchdowns.

But Patrick Watkins had a helluva game – he saved a touchdown with an arm tackle in the second quarter, blocked a field-goal attempt at the end of the first half, then got a pick-six early in the third quarter, one of two on successive plays (rookie Steve Octavien got the other) to bring the C’boys back.&#160 Rudy Carpenter then led Dallas on a 14-play TD drive, and Jesse Holley (Michael Irvin’s Fourth and Long&#160 winner) returned a punt 82 yards for the game-winner.

It’s not often you see your special teams & defense outscore your offense.&#160 Weird way to win a ballgame.

Here are the notes:

Ogletree secures his spot on the roster.

Caught three balls on the first C’boy drive, the last for the touchdown.&#160 Kid is catching everything that’s thrown to him.&#160 Fully expect this kid to crack the starting lineup by the eighth game.

Penalties are still a problem.

The most-penalized team in the NFL last year is the second-most penalized team in this preseason.&#160 One penalty in the 2Q cost Dallas a first down.&#160 So much for Coach Stay-Puf doing things differently.

A backup QB who can take care of the ball would have been nice to get this year, Jerry.

Kitna mishandled yet another snap this preseason, losing this one.&#160 And, thanks to shitty backups in the secondary, it cost Dallas the ViQueens’ first touchdown.&#160 Kitna later pulled a Romo, letting himself get stripped on a sack and losing the resulting fumble – which (surprise, surprise!) Minne-haha converted into yet another touchdown.

Stanback justifies the coming decision to cut his ass yet again.

Muffed the ensuing kickoff and was fortunate that it bounced through the endzone.&#160 Another team can take a chance on him, AFAIC.

What’s this?&#160 A Cowboy QB (Kitna, 2Q) runs for a first down?

Tony Romo, take note.

Thank God Keon Lattimore isn’t going to be one of our running backs.

Committed yet another Dallas turnover in the 2Q.&#160 So did Julius Crosslin, who got assigned to the practice squad.

This week:&#160 Four 3-1.&#160 Overall:&#160 Four 3-2.

The PFW will return Friday for our first full week, at which time we’ll revive a sacred tradition, and also ask the burning question:&#160 “Can the C’boys’ defense shut down a team without an offensive coordinator?”

   You’re allowed to have your opinion on Clawson. Even if it’s wrong.

   I’ve been checking and reading and listening to post-game coverages of the BYU-OU game, and you are the ONLY person in the US, that I could find, who thought the hit was illegal. So, to check the balance sheet, we have, on the side of “Legal Hit”, the officials, the coach of OU, the injured player, the injured player’s teammates, the conference officials of both conferences, the official’s bosses, sports experts, sports analysts, and sports talkers. On the side of “Illegal Hit”, we have…you.

   The people who get paid to know the difference between a legal and illegal hit say it was legal. Take the hint.

   Oh, look – it’s the “the-majority-is-against-you-so-you’re-wrong” argument.&#160 How quaint.

   Fifty-two percent or so voted for B. Hussein Obama last year.&#160 How’s that working out?

   Oh, look – it’s the “the-majority-is-against-you-so-you’re-wrong” argument. How quaint.

   Um…no. It’s the “The overwhelming majority, as in ‘all of them’, of people who know what the fuck they’re talking about disagree with you” argument.

   The people who wrote the rules, the people who enforce the rules, the people who make sure the rules are enforced, and the people who have the most to lose or gain by the rules being enforced all disagree with you. If you think they’re enforcing the rules they fucking wrote! wrong, you’re in the wrong line of work. Why don’t you try the “You people don’t even know how to enforce the rules you wrote!” job application with the NCAA, and see how that works?

   Volume of argument doesn’t equal validity of argument. You’re wrong. You’re entitled to your “Stupidest thing you’ve ever said” opinion, that’s true. I’m not expressing my opinion on this. I’m telling you what the facts are. You can choose to ignore the facts, and express your idiotic opinion all you want. But, I’m going to call you on it, because your opinion is completely at odds with the facts of the situation.
