Yeah, but those shit stains had two losses already last year when we met them in Dallas. Texas tried to give the game away, then ou tried to give it right back and then Texas gave it back to them, but it was a slow give back.
Such a strange game, but more so on this game than either of the other losses had me pissed at Herman. Despite being close games both TCU and Iowa State games had Texas with the ball late with control of its own destiny with very little in the way of gamesmanship or scoring strategy required, not unlike the last Texas drive in last week's game, but Texas could not close the deal.
But last year's ou game, Texas had two opportunities to go for two and end it. I'm sure this has been discussed, but the defense was gassed and Texas had ou sux on the ropes and did not take advantage of the situation. Normally I would have played the strategy Texas chose, but it was pretty obvious what was needed and Texas (turtle Tom) did not do it. Such a waste.
ou is a quality program and I do not see dominance coming from either team for more than a few years at a time unless one team goes into wandering in the dark for a decade or so. Texas has done that, and now its ou's turn. Texas is 10-14 v, ou in the last 24 games and 15-16-1 going back to 1989. (using selected Texas streaks as the start date to make the numbers better for Texas and not counting the conference championship game). These number would look worse if started on an ou streak. The point is, Texas needs to go on a streak and then Riley needs to move onto the NFL, and ou needs to hire Jimbo.
