  1. The Big Shootout. 1969 Texas/Arkansas.
  2. It's also true that the runner's knee hit the ground well before he went out of bounds. Everyone seemed focused on whether the ball hit the pylon, ignoring the fact that he was down before that.
  3. While I'm not a fan of Jimbo Fisher, I heard him make a very good point a few weeks ago on XM 84. He did that the "analytics" only tell you how often something works, but they don't tell you what happens afterwards if it doesn't work.
  4. If we had beaten Florida we would only have one loss.
  5. My electronic tickets already say 11:00.
  6. This is dumb, even for aggy. Beating OU should only be half a win.
  7. Were they numbered uno, dos, tres, catorce?
  8. I guess I should have included a graphic.
  9. Was that the one that ended up in Alabama?
  10. No, create a 3-way tie. Tech was undefeated at that time. Texas had one loss (Tech) and OU had one loss (Texas). If Tech had won, they would have been the South champs at 12-0 (8-0 conference) and OU would have been 10-2 (6-2). We needed OU to win so that there would be a 3-way tie. The tiebreaker formula came down to the 5th step : highest ranking in the BCS poll. OU was second at .9351 and Texas was third at .9223. As others have said, a few votes in the coaches' poll ranked Texas unfairly low, and that was enough to make the difference.
  11. Parker Livingstone disagrees.
  12. While I generally share the sentiment about OU, the fact remains that the ONLY chance we had was for Tech to lose. Period. I wanted Texas to win the MNC and I was astute enough to realize OU had to beat Tech for that to happen. I sure didn't want Tech to look like West Texas roadkill and for OU to win in a blowout, which is what happened. Even then, the final BCS result was microscopically thin. I rooted for the only outcome which could help Texas, a Tech loss. I didn't feel like an idiot then nor do I feel like one now.
