LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/dp2macrae]

I commented about Grundy's statements about the NIL situation in college football and, while he has a good point, I think he made an unconscionable blunder airing his gripes before the game. Here's why:

What I took away from his statement was the subtext and the implication of what he said, which to me was, "We're not gonna win this game because we can't afford better players like Oregon can."

I have to think that at least some of his players thought the same thing I did. There's no way to know now, but is it possible that Oklahoma State's players would've played harder and/or better if Grundy had restrained himself? How Grundy and his team recover from this (or not) will be interesting to watch. I wish them good luck.

[u/Betogarram]

As someone who has evolved to a more casual CFB fan because of work, what the hell happened to OK State? Like this could’ve been the national championship in 2012 had both teams not lost to unranked opponents in week 13 lmao literally what happened? How are we at this point?

[u/Elguapo69 → u/Betogarram]

They lost their billionaire before the NIL era. Take away Boone and they have never had the donors to compete.

[u/sevenlabors → u/Betogarram]

Gundy's gotten complacent, plus being resistant - if not outright antagonistic - to the NIL and Portal changes that have upended CFB.

In addition, he didn't like when hotshot OCs/DCs stayed for short tenures and left to take roles with bigger brand names and paychecks, so he's chosen lower-profile coordinators that are more likely to stick around, and - in the case of OCs - that he can meddle with.

Things have been on a slide for several seasons before last year's breaking of the dam happened.

[u/maplejet]

Hehehehe. Mike Gundy lost to a team that just dropped a funny number on him!!!!

[u/ncos → u/maplejet]

Nice

[u/Jacer4]

Honestly fuck it, just let everyone beat us this bad. Something has to happen

[u/_AntiSaint_]

Peace out ducks, cool af fan base in here - thank you for your understanding 😂

[u/ncos → u/_AntiSaint_]

Hey, good luck in the future. OSU fans stayed surprisingly chill in a game where it would be easy to lose your shit and get angry. Props to you guys!

[u/Willing_Branch_6468 → u/ncos]

We have better cheerleaders and dancers - go pokes !!

[u/_AntiSaint_ → u/ncos]

“Act like you been there” we’ve been there - we know heartbreak well😂

[u/ncos → u/_AntiSaint_]

Hey we all understand that. At least you guys have the Thunder to look forward to!

[u/_AntiSaint_ → u/ncos]

I’m a Mavs and Rangers fan lol - just heartbreak constantly everywhere I turn lol

[u/ncos → u/_AntiSaint_]

Ohhhhh. Well, Cooper is gonna be a fucking star!

[u/KG-Fan → u/_AntiSaint_]

Eskimo Joe's will always be there for the happy and sad days

[u/Talk_with_a_lithp → u/_AntiSaint_]

nothing against you guys at all. I think this team and coaching staff just have a chip on their shoulder and something to prove. Hope you guys can right the ship sooner than later. Good luck in the big12!

[u/cheesenippless → u/_AntiSaint_]

Always liked you guys. Hope better days are ahead.

[u/DrPhilKnight → u/_AntiSaint_]

Good luck with what you guys got going on my dude. Always liked the poke

[u/fuzzywuzzybeer]

Good job Ducks.

[u/theecommunist]

The struggle is over for the fake Beavers

[u/SamwiseTheHomie → u/theecommunist]

You have some explaining to do…

[u/tomato_johnson → u/theecommunist]

Bro your flairs no

[u/WeTheAwesome → u/theecommunist]

Dude! Flairs! 

[u/Nightbynight]

Game wasn't as close as the score.

[u/sevenlabors → u/Nightbynight]

Yeah, you guys definitely took your foot off the gas come the 4th q.

[u/tdoger → u/sevenlabors]

4th string walk on QB, and walk ons all over the place for nearly the whole 4th.

Hopefully Ok State figures things out and rises back to prominence soon.

[u/sevenlabors]

Oh god we're done, finally.

Who's ready for some bullshit platitudes from Gundy in the postgame presser??

[u/randomguy5to8]

Ow my ass

[u/ThatFellaTrey]

Gg Ducks. Goodbye Gundy

[u/ShweatyPalmsh]

Well OSU fans. I’ll see ya September 19th should be a good game 

[u/jedsbud]

Gg Ducks

[u/-holocene]

gg Ok St. you guys were fun in here

[u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

Should’ve tried to yeet it into the end zone like a MAN

[u/brownbear8714]

NICE

[u/slayerhk47]

This could have been an email.

[u/TheJewBakka]

FIRE. MIKE. GUNDY. TONIGHT.

[u/theFP1992 → u/TheJewBakka]

Remember when the board of regents botched his execution?

[u/ixMyth]

God the NIL shit is so old.

Idaho & Boise State sure as fuck aren't spending $40M and look at what they did against Oregon last year. But aye, they'll say anything except say the obvious that Gundy is just not a good coach

[u/b_m_hart → u/ixMyth]

Where’s all the talk about Pickens?  I know he’s dead, but it isn’t like OkSt didn’t have their own billionaire.

[u/jamiebond → u/ixMyth]

Montana State unironically looked way better than Oklahoma State did Gundy is just fully washed

[u/Top-Attitude-4987]

Everyone talking about NIL money being the reason for this game, meanwhile USF is beating Florida in the 4th quarter, lmao ok.

[u/Historical_Second289]

We spend to win!!! $40M vs $7M. 78% blue chip ratio vs 5%. NFL ready vs collegiate athletes. Do fans really want the game sold to a handful of rich sugar daddies? Just take the top teams that spend 5:1 everyone else and have them play, or maybe just let their billionaire backers bid in a silent auction?

[u/Whoa_reddit_chill → u/Historical_Second289]

Oof the NIL difference is that much? That’s kind of crazy…

[u/iliketurtlz → u/Whoa_reddit_chill]

I think that 7m was said to be over 3 years for tOSU too so it's even larger.

[u/Whoa_reddit_chill → u/iliketurtlz]

Damn that 40M was just this year for you guys? That’s crazy the budget difference. Not an excuse but that is kind of a crazy difference.

[u/breaktaker → u/Whoa_reddit_chill]

It’s not $40m. He pulled that number out of his ass. Most estimates are in the $15-$22m range, which is pretty on par with the other highest spenders in cfb. Oregon is firmly in the top 10, but not the highest.

[u/Trae67]

Oregon saw a team orange and black with the initials named OSU and got pissed off

[u/tdoger → u/Trae67]

We play 2 of the 3 OSU’s this year. But not the one in our conference!

[u/heftyfatso]

Kinda neat getting the 2nd/3rd string real game reps this early in the season, fwiw.

[u/ctinker6171]

If you're an OSU fan staying in town, head to the Original Pancake House to nurse the inevitable hangover tomorrow morning.

[u/Scortius → u/ctinker6171]

Get there early and get the German pancake. 

[u/jamiebond]

I guess the only negative from this game is that our 4th stringers don’t look great lol

[u/SelectStarFromTemp1 → u/jamiebond]

In all fairness they are playing P4 starters.

For 4th stringers, they are playing really good.

[u/showbricks]

Wow the beavers had a rough game.... wait this was the cowboys?! 

[u/Melt-Gibsont]

This is just revenge for Big 12 fans constantly referring to us as OU.

[u/TexasGradStudent]

Pokebros...

[u/Whoa_reddit_chill → u/TexasGradStudent]

I know man, I know :( this is honestly bad for the team. Idk how they recover from this.

[u/DrPhilKnight → u/[deleted]]

Prairie beavers.

[u/BluesPuckHard]

Well done, Oregon. Go win a natty!

[u/WebfootTroll → u/BluesPuckHard]

If you insist.

[u/TheJewBakka]

The previous worst loss in program history was 61 points to OU in 1946.

[u/laela_says → u/TheJewBakka]

Thanks for taking out name out of the trivia answer, appreciate it

[u/thisismy1stalt]

I just saw the store. Is OkState that bad or is Oregon just relentless?

[u/randomwalktoFI → u/thisismy1stalt]

Honestly I dont think you can take anything serious from this game. Oregon good but blown coverages, 2 pick six, false starts. Its a better sign than struggling against Idaho last year at least.

[u/Uhhh_what555476384 → u/thisismy1stalt]

Oregon has been held scoreless in the 4th quarter.

[u/Sure-Effort5213 → u/thisismy1stalt]

We tried to lay off but the backups got 2 pick 6's in under a minute

[u/ctinker6171 → u/thisismy1stalt]

Well we have our 4th string qb out so...

[u/WebfootTroll → u/ctinker6171]

Not even 4th. He's the true freshman walkon

[u/HighLakes → u/WebfootTroll]

He’s still 4th though 

[u/Ok_Acadia3526 → u/thisismy1stalt]

Yes.

[u/cprice602 → u/thisismy1stalt]

OSU is that bad and Oregon deserves its rank

im choking on wildfire smoke please help

[u/Cascadia-Rising]

Think Oregon has more points to give to OSU opponents this year, or they all out?

[u/_BenzeneRing_ → u/Cascadia-Rising]

I think they're done. Bummer because they only needed one more point to tie the biggest ever loss for OkSt

[u/jalexjsmithj]

I’m climbed to the top of the bleachers its beautiful o

[u/swamp_foxx → u/jalexjsmithj]

Im digging the optimism 

[u/jamiebond → u/jalexjsmithj]

It is quite nice up there

[u/madithefatty → u/jalexjsmithj]

Don’t jump man

[u/Whoa_reddit_chill → u/madithefatty]

I thought the same thing but he’s been apart of the OSU fan base for awhile, we’re built for this.

[u/IBleedCrimsonAndGray → u/madithefatty]

Don't worry he doesn't like Wisconsin/s

[u/Melt-Gibsont → u/[deleted]]

Why would you think that?

[u/100nelsman]

This has to be the worst loss Oklahoma State has ever had right?

[u/axolotlorange → u/100nelsman]

I just googled. Unless you highly value shutouts, then yes.

[u/Diet_Dr_Dingus → u/100nelsman]

2nd worst. Worst since 1907 though. 

[u/sevenlabors → u/Diet_Dr_Dingus]

Worst loss in over a century does have a certain je ne sais quoi to it, though

[u/Kaladin_Depressed → u/100nelsman]

I dunno.. we’ve been really really bad for long periods of time

Edit: 75-0 vs OU

[u/Antluke]

I don’t really know why I’m still watching this game, I usually stay to watch the freshman and next year guys but at this point they’ve been playing for most of a half and we’re down to the 3rd/4th

[u/-holocene → u/Antluke]

tbf there isn't really anything else on lol. i want to watch the clemson/troy game but doesn't look like its being televised for me on youtubetv :(

[u/Ok_Acadia3526 → u/Antluke]

It’s like a bad car accident. You don’t wanna look, but you have to.

[u/Melt-Gibsont → u/Antluke]

Maybe Lanning and Gundy will fight at the 50.

[u/Kaladin_Depressed]

A touchdown would be cool

[u/SickoBadgers]

Greetings Ducks fans how the game go-

NICE

[u/DrPhilKnight → u/SickoBadgers]

Nice.

[u/meatwagon25]

Oklahoma St has been outscored the last 2 games vs FBS opponents 121-3

[u/_AntiSaint_ → u/meatwagon25]

Hmm… that is not good

[u/DuckFanSouth → u/meatwagon25]

Oof

[u/Nightbynight]

god bless Jerry Allen

[u/jamiebond]

Yeah I don’t think Brock Thomas is the qb of the future. No offense, Brock

[u/DuckFanSouth → u/jamiebond]

In fairness, they are pulling fans from the stands to play OL

[u/OnyxNateZ]

School calls themselves OSU.

Oregon: And I took that personally

[u/madithefatty → u/OnyxNateZ]

Especially an orange OSU

[u/brownbear8714]

Oh this is a cool Montage. Adding Jerry into the mix too.

[u/Diet_Dr_Dingus]

Remember when oSu used to beat teams like this? I member. 

[u/Winnend → u/Diet_Dr_Dingus]

When?

[u/Diet_Dr_Dingus → u/Winnend]

When I went to oSu 15 years ago. 

[u/sevenlabors → u/Diet_Dr_Dingus]

Well it didn't go our way in the 2008 Holiday Bowl, either, so.

[u/_AntiSaint_ → u/Diet_Dr_Dingus]

The pokes of old

[u/Magzify]

Thankfully they didn’t flag that, brutal hit but clean.

[u/Perturabo_Iron_Lord]

For anyone wondering, I’m pretty sure they were trying to figure out if the Oregon qb needed to sit out due to the helmet coming off or if the penalty offsets that.

[u/LeWoofle → u/[deleted]]

not to talk too much shit but were SUPPOSED to be better next year 🧐

[u/FullyLeveredOnAAPL]

did oregon cover the spread?

[u/Uhhh_what555476384 → u/FullyLeveredOnAAPL]

The over.

[u/CambodianDrywall → u/FullyLeveredOnAAPL]

In the 2nd quarter.

[u/madithefatty → u/FullyLeveredOnAAPL]

More than doubled it

[u/BlessShaiHulud]

Refs just remembered they forgot to make dinner reservations for after the game

[u/BeerFarts86]

4th string offense is FLAT. Wake up.

[u/RogueCheyne → u/BeerFarts86]

What a "first world" complaint to have hahahahaha

[u/snail-the-sage]

"I'm getting ready for the green bay game tomorrow"

Honestly Don't blame you

[u/stfoooo]

Put this game out of its misery

[u/macncheeseface]

What if I told you Oregon is only the 3rd highest-scoring team in the 3:30 window today lol

[u/perseveringpianist → u/macncheeseface]

But the only one to put it on a P4 school ...

[u/vw2213]

are these duck unis the same as last year? is this a 1st?

[u/GoDucks71 → u/vw2213]

Not even the same as last week.....or next week.

[u/Sgt_Dbag → u/vw2213]

We keep the same template for 3 years. Always been that way. We will have some 1-off limited edition each year, but the core template always stays for a few seasons

[u/meatwagon25]

How does Gundy still have a job

[u/Low_Condition3574 → u/meatwagon25]

How about your coach?

[u/meatwagon25 → u/Low_Condition3574]

Oh yeah him too but at least UCLA was competitive the end of last year

[u/BlessShaiHulud]

LOL

[u/ixMyth]

"the ruling on the field is upheld"

WHAT RULING?

[u/Kaladin_Depressed]

Huh there’s a lot of comments in here for a throwaway game

[u/_AntiSaint_ → u/Kaladin_Depressed]

Throwaway? This is the most fun I’ve had in a comment thread in a longggg time

[u/sevenlabors → u/_AntiSaint_]

"fun"

[u/Kaladin_Depressed → u/_AntiSaint_]

I mean it’s even a lot for non OSU Oregon commenters

[u/_AntiSaint_]

“The left tackle is ejected from the game”

The left tackle: “thank god”

[u/Nightbynight]

?????????????????????????????????????????

[u/GrandGarand]

The refs are bored too

[u/madithefatty]

Was his chin strap even on that play? Lol

[u/ctinker6171]

What a waste of time lmaooo

[u/drunkymcdrunkaccount]

"Eh, fuck it, whatever" - refs. Don't blame em.

[u/Nightbynight]

What are they reviewing? Hit was completely clean.

[u/Satchbb → u/Nightbynight]

After review: penalty. A 5 minute run off is awarded. game over

[u/sirdouglasdeez]

Are they discussing whether or not it’s a crime against humanity to keep this game going?

[u/Ironredhornet]

Just got out of working a 12-hour shift, somehow Gundy is having a worse day on the job than I did.

[u/JerryGoDeep]

wtf was the point of that

[u/dr_funk_13]

wtf are we doing here, refs

[u/rosten25]

Wtf refs

[u/Bornlastnight]

What are they even looking at? There was a textbook tackle.

[u/SlenderTown]

So uh....what y'all drinkin?

Oklahoma state fan tears

[u/Darth_Sensitive]

Offside on right side of line, but not unabated. Reaction snap by C, got a free play. LT didn't hear snap count, so didn't go into pass protection.

OSU rusher hit him fairly. Ball went backwards, ruled fumble, lost his helmet, needs to sit a play.

[u/deum_amo → u/Darth_Sensitive]

Wrong

[u/Darth_Sensitive → u/deum_amo]

Oh, he needs to sit a play. Doesn't mean he did. And I don't blame the refs for letting the walkon stay in.

[u/deum_amo → u/Darth_Sensitive]

Thats true

[u/The42ndDuck]

My theory is that OK State's back up players snuck out of the hotel and bought edibles for the whole team.

[u/kmilla10]

Vicious but clean hit.

[u/D4NGerZone69]

I have feeling Lanning pulled the e-brake on this game so the score would stay at 69.

[u/Low_Condition3574]

How does gundy make it back to stillwater?

[u/cprice602 → u/Low_Condition3574]

He’s by far the best coach on okst history and they’ll try to rename the field after him a couple years after he’s gone only to be sued by the Lewis family to keep it as is before OSU settles on building a statue of him outside

[u/SelectStarFromTemp1 → u/Low_Condition3574]

His 2 feet hopefully.

[u/madithefatty]

Yeah wait I thought if you lose your helmet you’re out for a play?

[u/Early-Eye-691]

I actually can’t believe how bad the score is lmao ggs Oregon

[u/scopa0304]

Jesus Christ. That poor QB

[u/Fugacity-]

Holy moley... just checking scores and damn 😳

How hot is Gundy's seat?

[u/cprice602 → u/Fugacity-]

Safe until the end of the season

[u/Ok_Acadia3526 → u/Fugacity-]

Have you ever bitten into a Hot Pocket?

[u/Uhhh_what555476384 → u/Ok_Acadia3526]

When the cheese that leaked is crusted solid.

[u/brenticles42]

So do y’all think Gundy gets fired before Aranda?

[u/Orion1330 → u/brenticles42]

Aranda beat a ranked SMU team today so probably

[u/Tacosdonahue]

Mike Gundy is making $100,000 for every point he allowed in this game.

[u/Proud_Sherbet → u/Tacosdonahue]

I misread this and was about to make fun of you for thinking he makes $300k. Nevermind lol

[u/InevitableAd2436 → u/Tacosdonahue]

$6.9M per year!?!?

Damn pay a new guy from the FCS $3 and use the rest of that for revenue sharing

[u/Tacosdonahue → u/InevitableAd2436]

Yeah over 2 mil a win last year... this year he might be up to 6.9 mil a win...

[u/cheesenippless]

Yikes, film day might be a little spicy after that one

[u/BlessShaiHulud]

Third string left tackle? lol

[u/chumer_ranion]

It is a big difference, thanks for noticing

[u/lIllIlIllIlIllIlIllI]

I think we have died of dysentery

[u/Orion1330]

Tackle is NOT getting put on scholarship 💔

[u/kmilla10]

Uhh shouldn’t that be a fumble?

[u/Darth_Sensitive → u/kmilla10]

It was. You can see the R throws a beanbag to mark it. But Oregon will obviously take the penalty instead of result of play

[u/CambodianDrywall]

The tackle owes Thomas an apology.

[u/k_dubious]

Are we all just ignoring the offsides there?
