Another point I should have made is that a broader playoff needs a shorter regular season. That won't ever happen.
That argument is as invalid as it was when it was shredded apart years ago.
High school state champions have to play more games to get there than anyone does in FBS
The other collegiate divisions have to play more games to get there than anyone does in FBS
The NFL's Super Bowl teams have to play, at minimum 19 fucking games and a 20th is possible if a WC team is involved.8-team playoff=15 games played by the finalists. That's not even an excuse, that's just a series of useless words strung together to form an incoherent sentence that turns into a circular argument that routes back to an assumed conclusion.

An eight team playoff is not feasible.
Whoever told you that is absolutely wrong about that.

John Mackovic.
Actually, IIRC, that one had Randy Rodgers' finger prints all over it...and Drew was looking towards A&M more so than UT.

I pointed that out a half hour ago -- give him time, he's googling his rebuttal.
Does it really take 30 minutes to look between Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Atlas Shrugged?

The Republicans were just playing by the rules Joe Biden wrote when he was in the Senate in 1988.
Such rules do not exist. That's just you in your little Make Believe and Pretend universe.

I don't see it. If they had edged us out by a field goal after we mounted an epic comeback, then we fired our hypothetical terrible DC and made it all the way to the CCG, I'd be thrilled to get another shot at them.
I think the bigger problem, from OU's perspective, is them getting there and not so much getting jacked to play Texas.

No man in their right mind would pursue a relationship with a woman who believed Ford's testimony. It was clearly garbage from the get go.
The only way you can say such a thing with such fake confidence is if you 100% wanted to believe Kavanaugh in the first place.
This whole deal with Ford and the other women had 0 effect on me because there were well over 1,000 reasons that he had no business being a SCOTUS justice that were well established before anyone knew who the fuck this woman was, but please stop pretending like what you're posting with all of this chickenshit bluster is anything other than a circular argument routing back to an assumed conclusion.

A concept over which you have precisely and exactly zero grasp. You talking about reality is like Rick Perry talking about particle physics.

You guys need to quit celebrating in the game thread before the clock hits 0:00. This team can beat anyone and lose to anyone.
And you need to hit fuckin' puberty because none of that finicky bullshit you've displayed thus far has jack shit to do with being an adult.

I need more info from those who were there in 1976. I'm currently writing a realistic fiction piece that incorporates different elements from different eras (the teams are the All-Time teams, played in the 2008-pres stadium with the expanded seating, State Fair attendance like in 2009 when they broke the record, commentators are Keith Jackson and Frank Broyles, etc). The actual atmosphere of the game I wanted to project is 1976 based on the very limited stories I've heard as it's the most egregious example of a toxic atmosphere, not to mention Switzer and Royal will obviously be the HC's. I'm asking for this because there isn't video goddamn 1 anywhere on the internet, at least not that I've seen. I've searched high and low for VHS/DVD, but similarly to no avail. Here's what I've heard so far
-This was either the first or second year of the crowd saying "OU sucks" in the fight song and it was in response to the Tuck Fexas shirt that had debuted the year before
-It was very hot and ice was being thrown across the 50 yard lines by both sides
-"every hit was a train wreck"
-"Who are the two assholes with Switzer?"
-Royal absolutely dreaded the entire experience from beginning to end
-Switzer is an unrepentant asshole and this was Exhibit A
-both offenses were absolutely brutalized by 2 suffocating defenses -

230 in 99 and 1130 in 98, pretty damn close

https://stats.texassports.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/stats/98/ut-ou.htm
Ah you’re right. I just remembered 1998 being a huge break from the norm as it was a 2:30 damn near every year if not literally every year prior to that.

And I remember it being hot as fuck for that 11am kick in 99. So hungover and trying to get it going again, was drinking a flask of hot Jim beam and smoking bowls right under that huge Dr Pepper sign on the back row of the stadium around the 35 yd line. Shitshow doesn’t begin to explain it. Good times
‘99 kicked at 2:30. You’re probably thinking of ‘98, which was when they started with that 11am nonsense

Oh and even if he did mean just the prison labor portion of the 13th, he is outside of his fucking mind if he thinks, of all people, Donald fucking Trump (or anyone from "the right") shares his views on that topic. So his defenders are screwed on this either way.

No, the conclusion is that he's a fucking moron who talks about "think for yourself" when he cannot even take step 1 on that concept. This is stupidity masquerading as deep intellectual thought, and this is the worst ever, even more so than B.O.B's crusade against the oblate spheroid Earth.
QuoteI guess I just brought up this thread is b/c he leans right and his main message is just to get educated and vote on your own.
He leans Kanye, and his main message is to disregard facts and history and just make shit up as you go along. What he understands about the world is self-created mythology and there is no truth in it.

It's fun to remind everyone that Texas was so bad they let that fucktard beat you so bad it still hurts. He is the worst coach ever and still won.

This will probably not make anyone else's favorite but 1989 when Peter Gardere won the game we had no business winning was huge for me and many fellow students. The 80s were rough for the die hard faithful but I will never forget winning that game or the 3 to follow.
Goddamnit, post the video
I was too young to attend this one (started at age 8 in 1992, Gardere's Swan Song). That having been said, this might have topped my list if I was there. Just looking and listening to the crowd reaction to the TD, as well as the boys, and the last play and knowing the results of 1984-1988 just tells you that the sheer explosion is from a buildup of 5 truly miserable years against those fuckers. If ever someone asks you what "catharsis" means, show this video.
EDIT: I seem to remember someone telling a story about this game in the hornfans days that when the bands marched to their seats (this was back when they were in the actual stands and not those folding chairs in the back of the field), we sent half our band first, the Sooners came, then to everyone's surprise the other half of the LHB came in behind that. Can anyone confirm this?

‘08- Yeah, it was fun. But then Lubbutt happened.
Well if we're going by that, then '94 has no business being in the conversation. We lost to fucking Rice the very next week.

The biggest punishment is to take away scholarships. That's what impacts the future.
Take away a bunch of scholarships for a 5 year period and that program is dead.
Yep. That’s essentially what happened to Oklahoma in the late 80s. They were doormat for a decade. Baylor’s natural state is as a doormat, so for them to get back up would take a long time, if it even happens ever again.

2008. That may very well have been the best Oklahoma team under Stoops to come into the game.

Actually, exceptions exist in FCS but it's like the NFL. It's true you play 15 if you get a bye (their tournament includes 8 bye teams), but not if you don't. If you play in the first round, you play 16.
Regardless, HS' have to do the exact same, the other NCAA divisions have more, and the NFL has considerably more.
