  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. No, real words for this week. "OU Sucks"
  4. 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.
  5. Edit. Wrong thread
  6. 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.
  7. This team has just completely lost its ability to hit with RISP this road trip. Fucking terrible.
  8. That will work
  9. You have to send him there. SMH
  10. 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.
  11. Well if you look at the overall history it just means we're due.
  12. Yep, this series has always gone in streaks. Hoping last year was the start of one for us.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. Maybe. Maybe not. Lots of assumptions in your post based on limited data. This OU team is better on paper than last years OU team and they can only play who they have played.. Don't forget the main reason we beat the shit out of them is that they had absolutely no QB and had to run wildcat. This Texas team is better than last year as well. I don't take much from last year either way. The data points I like for us that are more proven than "they're a paper tiger" are (i) they have not run the ball well against average D's and (ii) DG has not proven (throughout a long career) that he can carve up a good D.
  18. Plan to get there no later than 8 no matter what method of transportation you use. Buy enough coupons for entire day first thing. Get your Fletchers before 8:45AM. Don't wait until last minute to head into stadium. Plan to be in seats no later than 10:30. That's the best advice I can give.
  19. Yeah, we do. But not at the same level as the last 2 weeks. This board constantly overreacts. Game to game and even play to play (go read a fucking first half Kansas game thread for proof of that). I hope we beat them by 20+ like everyone, and there is a scenario where that plays out, but there is a reason the spread is under a TD and most "models" have OU covering that. "On Paper" we are not 2+TD's better than OU. "On Paper" we absolutely were 2TD's better than both Baylor and Kansas.
  20. Let's also not pretend Texas is going to handle the LOS like they did against Baylor and Kansas. I think Texas can wear OU down over 4 quarters on both fronts but this is going to be a good matchup/test for both units.
  21. Don't disagree with any of this. And Texas becomes easier to defend if Sanders can't go. Particularly in the red zone.
  22. I hope this guy is trolling. JFC if that isn't the biggest Fuck You from the Big 12 if true.
  23. Yeah, I just haven't watched OU enough this year to date, but that offense really needs a strong running game to work as intended. Their stats to date speak for themselves. As long as we control the LOS like we should, I fully expect our D to be able to force DG into bad decisions.
  24. This is where I'm at. This will be my 25th straight and 26th total. Have seen a lot of weird shit. We've even seen both teams completely flip slow starts ('99 and '21 off the top of my head).
  25. A&M going all in on this weekend isn't a bad strategy. If they get curbstomped they probably know the wheels fall off this season anyways. An upset shifts momentum and pays dividends like it did 2 years ago. Big weekend for all 4 teams involved from both a season and narrative perspective.
