If you removed Colton Vasek from OU’s class, you could call it a… Wait for it… Vasektomy

Dont care

At this point, it seems like the best case for ou is that they're in more or less the same spot Texas was in during Year 1 of Charlie Strong's tenure: you've got a bunch of problems with no quick fixes, and your head coach is really a coordinator, but you kinda can't fire him after one season. Multi-year rebuild incoming. Best case. And the worst case for ou is that they're going the route of Nebraska after Tom Osborne. Dare we dream? Well, the fact that ou was willing to pay players (Big Red Auto) when it was illegal doesn't help them anymore. And there's nothing sexy about life in Norman, Oklahoma, so the one thing they had to recruit with was their superstar head coach, and they hit the lottery on that front twice in a row. And that is gone. So, how long do the sooners figure to be in the 4+ loss club? A couple of years? Or are they a former superpower with only minimal relevance going forward, like Nebraska or Portugal? I don't know. But I freaking love that it's a reasonable question. Bless you, Lincoln Riley.

I briefly did the thought exercise of “is it bad for Texas if OU is not competitive” and decided fuck’em

,

Yes, I may have called him Seven Win Steve before, but literally no one doubts the man's ability to run an offense. Instead of getting buried in various threads, I thought we could collect some of our favorite clips here during the year. It's so nice to have an offense where plays build on one another, and there's a punch and counterpunch and counter-counterpunch. One of my favorite sequences in the OU game was our 2nd touchdown drive. The way Sark used motion throughout the game to fool and punish the OU defense was fucking masterful, and nowhere more so than on this drive. I almost felt bad for them (not really). I counted at least four times where the same/similar look yielded four different plays. Motion to divert from a throwback screen: Next play, similar motion on an inside handoff: Next play, same look, but a now a play action and wheel route from the motion: And then, the chef's kiss, similar motion to clear out the defenders for the post pattern on the TD. He's out here playing 3D chess against these checker-fumbling shitheads. Remember when GDGD literally ran the same fucking play 3 times in a row against OU one year? me neither. Not anymore.

went ahead and have Sark the Charlie strong finger

That's what $90 mil gets you, stupid seeyups

Not sure if Klatt got permanent brain damage and thinks he played at UT, or if he’s scared Kelson will find him in an alley somewhere. Either way, that guy is the biggest UT homer we have on TV.

Highlights after the best night's sleep I've had in a while 1. Sanders bullying the two OU defenders on his TD grab. They hit him and he just chuckled as they bounced off and he got in the endzone. 2. 3rd quarter, Xavier Worthy made a cross body lean while jumping in the air to grab a pass Ewers tossed a little too far to his left. Just a beautiful grab. 3. 2nd quarter, Bijan had a cut that just destroyed the OU defender who thought he had him. Bijan was on another level yesterday. 4. The seal blocks that Whittington and Worthy had which allowed Keilan Robinson to just curve around the OU defense for his TD. 5. The ropes Ewers was throwing including one that went right through the OU defender's outstretched arms. A QB throw version of splitting the uprights. Outside of the odd duck INT, he was just tossing dimes all over the field. The kid is a talent and you can see the confidence in not only the team when he's in there but the coaching staff as well. 6. Sark's schemes were on the money. We were in section 112 which is a tiny sliver section where the new part of the upper deck starts. It was a great vantage point to watch all the motion and the plays develop. Sark really is a phenomenal play caller. 7. The uptempo was great and never allowed OU to get fully set or react to what we were doing. Sark really stepped on their throats and didn't let up. 8. PK's defense adjusted to what OU was doing and shut it down. Took a few quarters but he shut down the Wing T that OU was running and OU quit. 9. Victory Cheddar Fries at Snuffers were finally had after a 3 year absence.

Short answer is really fucking down, but I think it is bigger than OU. I think there will be college football before 2021 and college football after 2021. NIL, transfer portal, super conferences, all that is just getting started. It is a tectonic shift for college football. In 10-20 years, there are going to be a handful of teams capable of recruiting like and amassing the talent like Alabama has in the last 10 years, and they very well may not include not only Oklahoma, but Alabama. Texas has the GDP of Russia, the 10th largest economy in the world. Oklahoma and Alabama has the GDP of Kazakhstan. The alumni base of these flagship state universities can now legally pay football players whatever their business and personal finances allow. Thus, College Football has become a professional league without a salary cap to enforce relative parity. In such a world, a Nick Saban might never stick at Alabama because he could never financially compete with USC, Texas, A&M, etc... for first choice of talent. This was part of Lincoln Riley's calculus when leaving OU for USC. It was at the root of Saban trashing Jimbo Fisher for "paying players." Few programs will be better positioned than Texas to succeed in this new world. We have large, wealthy alumni base imbued with a college football culture bordering on religion. As does A&M, USC, and some others. Oklahoma, Alabama, they can match the culture, but they aren't going to match the money that can be brought to bear for player talent. Unless there are some sort of measures put in place to equalize what players can make at universities with disparate alumni economics, there are going to be a lot of new Nebraskas littering the college football landscape.

My daughter approves

Awfully disconcerting waking up to hear the leader of the GOP blame the US for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. We were a few million votes away from a worst case scenario for global security, folks.

I've waited 20 years for this shit. Fuck ou and fuck your entitled shit. Finally made a bad coaching hire, go drown in a cellar flood . You fucks just started big 12 play, you fucks don't even know how far down this shithole goes.

Lulz. OU had 5 yards of total offense in the 2nd half until the final drive. Some of you are just miserable fuckers.

I changed ONE YARDs username to @FORTY NINE TO ZERO your welcome.

Lebby is a dumb, fat piece of shit that's doing nothing but failing upward. Trust me, I grew up with him. He's useless like the rest of his family.

Hmmm… A “elite defensive head coach” that is doing a complete culture rebuild after the last head coach let the program get soft, while getting blown the fuck out by TCU and getting shut out in humiliating fashion where his team just rolls over and dies without any fight? Where have I heard this story before?

I for one am totally shocked that you are bullish on an A&M QB you've never seen play. I can't quite place my finger on what set of fans that makes you seem like.

Fucking hilarious - he was the guy you picked to start the season.

The answer lies in the original post. The right coach fixes the problems at whatever school he’s at and the rest is largely bullshit. Get a high quality and the problems melt away. I don’t know if Sarkisian is the guy and he’s still Seven Loss Steve until he isn’t, but I do feel like we can see what a difference he is in overall competence compared to Herman, Strong and even late stage Mack. I do feel like Venables measured against even early Stoops or Riley looks like Chuckles-level incompetent by comparison. That’s gratifying to witness and I hope they hang on to him for half a decade. I don’t want Venables gone until someone besides Castiglione is calling the shots.

You’re not a Texas fan. You’re a stupid piece of shit who continues to ignore results on the field in favor of whatever narrative exists in your head and on texags. It’s no coincidence you show up back here after aTm has some kind of moral victory by not getting completely raped on national television. Just a regular loss you will credit to their talent and ignore that bill O’Brien is a functioning retard. Get fucked and stay fucked you Aggy piece of shit.

Look at the great find by @satyanash Peter Mpagi 🤘

Had some okies sit next to us at a sports bar in Dallas last night with USC playing. Eventually they had to tell us that the TX/OU game would have looked different with Riley running the offense. “I bet you’d take him back right now if you could then, huh?” Hell no, they screamed. Then they proceeded to drunkenly explain why Venables is a culture guy and he was going to clean house in order to build a foundation of toughness because Riley coached pussies. I just told them that we were also very happy with Venables and hoped they’d keep him forever. Then I went back to ignoring them and watching games.

Would have been cool to score more but how we got 49 is what impressed me. No fluke plays No trick plays No lucky the defender fell down 80 yd scores No defensive scores No special team scores No controversial penalties I can think of(only five total penalties in the game) Just a bunch of methodical precision drives that suck the soul out of a defense. To get to 35pts we went 90 92 80 79 76 Then capped things off with 47 54 Just a beautiful thing to finally see.

Marvin Mims had 1 catch for minus(-) 2 yards yesterday.

BTW, just got home from Dallas a little while ago. What an epic day. Took my Tx State 18 yo who's a huge Horns fan. It was his 2nd TX-ou, and we lost his first one. He was so pumped the entire game, just eating it up, & is still talking about the historical significance of the score. My boy ... Good times.

What a joyful week this is to be a longhorn fan. What we just did to OU is illegal in 38 states. They’ve lost 3 in a row and are staring at 4-8. I fully expect them to be a dog to a Kansas team that doesn’t even have their starting QB ready to go. aggy has lost their last 2 and goes into their bye at 3-3. They just played Bama with Bama starting a shitty 3nd string QB, the woefully inept BOB calling plays, were absolutely gifted a shitload of TO’s, watched Bama miss two chippies and still they managed to do what aggy does and cocktease their fan base before ultimately failing to win. It’s a long turdition for those jokers in dysfunction junction. But, most importantly we are seeing what it looks like when an elite play caller in Sark (1A or 1B to Lincoln Riley) has a serviceable OL to go along with future day 1 draft picks at LT, TE, RB, WR and most importantly QB. Do you realize we haven’t had a first round draft pick on offense since VY went #3 overall in 2006? Yeah- that’s about to change and in a big way. We saw it for a quarter against Bama, who was absolutely shredded by the mulleted one before he got broken in half. Now- we saw it against our biggest rival, who had no answers for what was coming and decided to open up a can of quit and run clock from the beginning of the second quarter on. if you want to feel joy about the defense I’m not going to stop you. The guys on the headsets are still on probation in my mind, and unlike the Offense that has day 1 draft picks everywhere I don’t see a ton of talent. Except maybe on the interior DL- which is really playing pretty good football. We shut out OU. That was awesome. They are awful offensively. Like I said- I’m not going to steal anyones joy that wants to be excited about the defense but I still see no more than good as their ceiling/upside whereas that’s the absolute basement for a Quinn Ewers led offense. Next up? Corn aggy. I have no hate for ISU. They are my second or third favorite team in the conference alongside Gundy at OSU. But we owe them a smooth buttfucking. They’ve been chirping about 5 star culture while we’ve been down. We aren’t down on offense anymore. It’s time that we reminded them what 5 star talent really looks like. They haven’t seen that at Texas in 15 years. They’ve forgotten. It’s cute they think they have a pretty good little defense. If measured up against their farming peers at Iowa and KSU I guess they can put the clamps on inept offenses. We aren’t their farming peers. We won’t be stopped. I anticipate (if we stay healthy) a minimum of 42 points. I don’t think they can score 42 points if you gave them a month. They are garbage on offense. We should win this game really really easily. Lets shuck the corn, enjoy another afternoon/evening of watching games after we’ve put our hay in the barn, and then get ready to roll into stoolwater for the top big 12 match up of the year. Game Week thread people- let’s Hook ‘Em high like an Eagle soars and enjoy the most satisfying in-season win in 5 years, and hopefully one that will portend great things for us going forward.
