Eating the Enemy: The Furd and Big 12 Open Thread

by yellow fever on Nov 18, 2011 3:32 PM PST in California Golden Bears Football

Rather than endorsing the prospect of eating your favorite neighborhood hangout, let's go to the experts and see what they have to say about the matter.

So uh, maybe we'll go with this.

Who wants to pass around the collection plate? It's not too late! Go Bears! And uh, Cowboys? Because we don't want the Ducks to have a rematch. Right?

How about some red meat

I say we annoy Stanford fans by embracing those who don't understand the whole 'color' mascot thing:

What about if we eat beaver?

I mean, Beaver eat trees, and therefore…

Sorry, just had to go there. Still giggly over the results of the annual Bear-beaver contest.

Meanwhile in Basketball...

Arizona is choking away what remains of Pac-12 reputation this year.

Miss State is probably alright

At least Arizona got the split.

I’m pretty sure that we’re better than Iowa St., and that Okie St. is better than furd.

I agree with the former, but I’m not so sure of the latter. It still gives me hope.

OSU just intercepted an ISU pass on the ISU side of the field with 3:17 left.

Tack on 15 for a personal foul and OSU has it on the ISU 29.

OSU has not scored since I started watching this game (midway thru 3rd Q).

Gundy might be a man...

…but if Cal had done the playcalling in the last 2 series like OSU has, the denizens of CGB would be questioning Tedford’s manhood.

4th and 1 for OSU at the ISU 20. FG attempt coming with 1:21 left

Didn’t we also learn that in the 2003 Big Game? Or did the refs flat out screw that one up?

There was a holding penalty on the play. This is Rod Gilmore's crack analysis on the replay

“That would have been Oklahoma State ball if they could have come up with it [the fumble] despite the penalty.”

Wow. Really, Rod? Glad you cleared that up.

TD ISU on the first play of overtime

Nice wheel route to the guy out of the backfield. Reminiscent of Riley to Best for us against Ucla in 2009.

It’s OSU’s turn with the ball

Huge win for them for the additional reason that it makes them bowl eligible (6-4). Their last two games are at Oklahoma and at Kansas State.
