Yep. Its college football. Roster talent is way more important than coaching. Kirby Smart is not some coaching genius. He stacked a roster. When you play teams with equal or close to equal talent you have to execute. They just executed better overall. Outside of 1 ball Ewers played great, Brooks played great, Worthy and all the WR's played great. Sanders drop resulting in a pick hurt. But this game also showed our roster isn't quite readyfrom a depth perspective. Losing our center hurt. Our interior OL was already the weak spot on our roster and that showed. Not having Watts on D hurt more than I expected. More than anything I give credit to DG and both OU lines. They beat us up front. Period. Did not see that coming. Also did not see Jaylon Ford having one of his worst games I can recall coming. I want a rematch.

JFC. The constant overreaction on this board in both directions never disappoints.

This. Bitching about "coaching" when we can't punch it in from the 1 is what I would expect from this site. That's player execution and winning the LOS. Period. I'm sure PK wishes he had another shot at that last drive but D played decent in the 2nd half. Bigger issues on D was constant missed tackles (which hadn't really been an issue this year until yesterday) + dropping the pick in the endzone. DG played a great game but we didn't make him pay for his mistake. They made us pay for our mistakes. Sark would be first to say there are handful of play calls he wishes he had back and I'm sure on rewatch you could nitpick but overall I didn't have any issue with the way he called the game whatsoever. I'm sure he (and all of us) would have calculated 90%+ chance of a TD running it from jumbo package 3 straight times. OU D stepped up and we didn't. Hopefully we see them again in December.

Well how about that!!!! "No expectations" (from my perspective at least) seemed to worked out just fine. Still playing house money. Let's keep it rolling!
-
That will work
-
Oh shit. Yall are about 15 secs in front of me LOL
-
I'll take a blooper for a hit with RISP (finally) all day!
-
Inches from a double and instead a GIDP. Damn.

Game Week Thread Week 6, 2023: Red River shootout.

That's some Sooneresque high level analysis right there. I better tune in and see what other mind blowing insights they have on the game. -
Game Week Thread Week 6, 2023: Red River shootout.
Skipper replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
There may have not been 2 bigger douchebags to ever play college football then Baker and Kyler. Incredibly fitting both were Sooners. It warms my heart to know Baker's shit dad stole millions of his shit son's fucking money. -
Yeah, it was a clusterfuck last time when they set up in front of the main gate. It also got very close to infringing on where we have pre-gamed for the last 20 years. Hoping they move it to a different location.

No, real words for this week. "OU Sucks" -

Put on the '08 game with my almost 7 year old son tonight to start giving him a history lesson of what this week is about. Taught him the real words to the fight song and all. Hope he doesn't get sent home from school tomorrow. -
Edit. Wrong thread
-
Barely got to see any of that. Maybe that's a sign. Game is much less stressful when you constantly fielding work calls and can barely pay attention.
-
This team has just completely lost its ability to hit with RISP this road trip. Fucking terrible.
-
That will work
-
You have to send him there. SMH
-
I would probably still take the under. Will be interesting to see where both close. I heard the same thing CTJ heard this AM. It does seem like the "nobody is talking about OU, they are playing with house money and have Texas right where they want them" media narrative is starting to take hold. Wonder if that might push the line back down.
-
Well if you look at the overall history it just means we're due.
-
Yep, this series has always gone in streaks. Hoping last year was the start of one for us.
-
In addition to the clear bias, the other thing that sucks about this crew is that they constantly stop play and huddle for seemingly no reason. This damn game will take 5 hours.
-
I have zero expectations for this post season. Making the playoffs is a huge accomplishment for this team given the past several years +horrible injury luck + shitty bullpen. Losing the West when it was in hand really sucked but hopefully a learning experience of some sorts for next season and beyond during this window. As for tomorrow, somewhat playing with house $$ as deserved underdogs. Should be fun.
-
All of this is true. I was just about to post the same thing that Tech would be favored against Wyoming if they played tomorrow. Ricky needs to stop posting about things he doesn't understand
-
Yep, this drives home the point I was making about this fucking board overreacting to the last thing they saw (2nd half domination against Kansas). I can only imagine the doom and gloom on this board during the 3rd quarter Wyoming game thread. I think Texas will win the game. If I had to make a bet I would probably lean Texas -5. But the overconfidence is pretty astounding if you have watched the last 30+ of these.
