  1. Because Fox financially benefits when the Big 12 is good. Klatt sounded as sad about OU losing last weekend as Brando and Tillman did about UT winning. Klatt wants the Big 12 and Big Ten to compete.
  2. Pretty excited to see Smith get some of the screens and hitches Schooler and Money have been getting. Despite his tds last year, I feel like we've yet to see the elusiveness and speed he showed in his film.
  3. Do the facts about navigators changing their form show up in later books? Because I have no memory of that from reading Dune.
  4. All the people losing their minds over who's calling plays, have you factored in that Kai money was playing significant snaps? That the beginning and end of the game when Josh Moore was healthy was the part of the game where we opened things up? Tarik Black barely played due to injury. Moore missed most of the middle of the game. Whittington was out. Smith was out. Schooler doesn't seem to know much of the playbook yet. Eagles appeared unreliable in week 1. I wasn't happy with the calls either but with the running backs we have and the receivers we didn't have, I at least understand the thought behind limiting things. Scoring 56 in regulation under those circumstances certainly isn't enough for me to go ape shit and claim things are the same as always.
  5. One crazy stat? Texas Tech scored on only 3 of their first 9 offensive possessions. I feel like we would take 3/9 in most Big 12 games. It fell apart after that though.
  6. Iowa State averaged 7.6 yards per carry and 9.2 yards per pass against TCU's defense. Iowa State averaged 4.4 yards per carry and 4.1 yards per pass against Louisiana.
  7. Maybe the line is -16 because Iowa State got routed by Louisiana and then beat TCU. I dunno just a possibility. TCU isn't good, Texas will probably be healthier than they were yesterday, Texas will be at home, and Texas probably just woke up.
  8. You get the chance to have two disappointing 1-1 teams in the primetime slot, you gotta take it.
  9. They flawlessly executed an onside kick, made the field goal attempt, and blocked a punt for a TD. There are clearly some issues, but a Charlie Strong special teams wouldn't have been able to do those things.
  10. OU sucks and all, but the 2018 OU team won the conference despite winning games 59-56, 48-47, 55-40 (Kansas), 51-46, and losing 48-45. The good news is it appears Texas can score at will when allowed to by the coaches (less runs on first down please) despite playing without three of the four top receivers for most of the game.
  11. The onside kick, muffed punt, pick in our end, Thompson getting hurt, and just general average starting field possession all impacted the defense. The interceptions and defense in OT are encouraging. But 56 points is terrible no matter how you slice it. The 3rd down defense was atrocious. Our strategy to attack trips is stupid imo. Hopefully Ash is a guy who will adjust because offenses are going to look about like this in probably 5 of our 8 remaining games.
  12. Texas has a chance to go 3-0 for the first time since 2012.
  13. Okay the love for Thompson can now stop.
  14. Any time you get a chance to call timeout on 3rd and 21, you gotta take it...
  15. Given what football looks like these first few weeks, I'll take a double digit lead going into the half. Nobody is looking real good across the country today.
  16. I guess we're just gonna go with trips opposite a tight end until they can stop it.
  17. What the hell was Oklahoma doing with both their safeties 7 yards deep on 3rd and 18.
  18. If any ranking services are watching this game, Sanders would be top 10 in the next update.
  19. It's crazy how Texas went through the worst decade imaginable and yet still went 9-2 against Tech. It's like they're the one opponent where things remained status quo while everyone else got their licks in.
  20. 4th and 5th best tackles on the team starting today. Yikes.
  21. Instead of going with artsy movies that most film people already like, these are some typical Hollywood movies that I think are underrated and I wish movies like them were still made today. Inside Man Fracture Gattaca Stardust The Nice Guys
