  1. This on the other hand is clearly true.
  2. Sure, would expect most/all here to expect Texas to win. But some of the wishcasting or belief that it is still 2018 on the defensive side of the ball, or that literally every metric, including tons that adjust for opponent strength are alllll incorrect and you guys have it figured out instead is hilarious. Texas has a really really good team this year, and very well may win, and possibly can win handily. But things like "OU can't stop the run" and "OU's WRs suck" are pretty objectively false.
  3. Not that our schedule is a vicious worldbeater obviously, but this is false. Cincinnati won at Pitt. Iowa State won against Oklahoma State.
  4. OU's WR blocking has also been really really good so far this season. Andrel Anthony is a playmaker, Nic Anderson is going to be a beast, Gibson is excellent now that he learned how to catch, and Stoops is really really reliable and tough. I think people will be surprised considerably if they think OU's WR are mid.
  5. He's borderline worthless. I disagree with CTJ on the caliber of OU's RB and WR, but TE is a glaring weakness.
  6. saaaaaaaaaaame
  7. LOL yes OU was in the playoffs two seasons before Brent came. The season before, they didn't win the conference, won a lot of one-score games, and then lost the next season's Heisman winner at QB and lost a lot of one-score games. Funny how Washington immediately got better when Sark left, how both of Sark's USC seasons were worse than the one that got Lane Kiffin fired, and how a Texas team that was 32-18 in the 4 seasons before Sark goes 13-12 in his first 2. Turnaround King!
  8. Lastly, just giant LOL at how everyone knows Brent is dead with a 10-7 start to his career but Sark starting 13-12 in his first two seasons at Texas after going 46-35 as a head coach is clearly a playoff-ready coach. Sark has 9 seasons as a coach with zero top 20 finishes. Texas has one top 18 finish since 2009. Please find a 13 year stretch where OU had one finish in the top 18.
  9. OK $150 on over 9 then?
  10. OU 88-99 was 77-58-3 (57% win). TX 00-21 was 81-67 (55% win). Also TX had 5 losing seasons sprinkled through the whole run. OU had 3 losing seasons, all in a row. 1994-1998 for OU was agreed a worse sustained run than either have had. Also OU finished in the top 15 three times from 1988 to 1993. Texas finished ranked exactly once (19th) from 2010 through 2017.
  11. Texas hasn't been as bad as 96-98 OU, but the full decade wasn't as bad as being portrayed, and OU 88-99 was better than TX 10-21 overall.
  12. Booked. The rest is really wishcasting to the nth level, similar to all those seasons where you posted similar screeds about why Texas was going to get it done, and then paid me hundreds of dollars after eating shit to the tune of 55-17 or 63-21. Yes, man, Demarco is just spitefully fucking with the heads of the RB room for reasons. I 100% guarantee you that anyone who knows defense can look at the lines taken, positions players are in, tackling ability and see marked improvement, schedule or not. OU had four straight 4th down stuffs of Cincy, including multiple short yardage stops, and more on 3rd down. OU had literally 0% of getting off the field last year on 3rd or 4th and short. Stutsman is playing at an elite level. I do think Texas is more likely than OU to win the game, but I will put another $150 on over 8.5 wins for the season since 9 wins will surprise you.
  13. Yep, I thought he was 7-7 for some reason, stuck in my mind. 7-6 with a home loss to La-Monroe. Stoops 7-5 first season. Tressel 7-5 first season. Mack 5 losses his second season. Y'all are feeling Sark bigly now, and he was 5-7 his first season. And prettttty sure if Cale stayed after using the N bomb in practice, I bet you would have a complaint about that. Again, I'm not even saying I'm so confident in OU or that Venables is for sure the dude. The jury is out is my point, when some people are saying it's a done deal based on a whole bunch of wishcasting. There is no national narrative of this, and in fact the current narrative is how dramatic the defensive improvement, both on-field and recruiting, have been. That said, you did take TX straight up in some years where OU was favored, so to be sporting I will offer a $150 straight up wager. I mean, sure guy, I bet they wanted Dillon Gabriel over Caleb Williams. For sure. Definitely no massive roster turnover happened. Definitely no complete change of the defensive scheme. OU's losses with Gabriel playing the game, they scored 34, 35, 20, 48, and 32, but please do tell me more about how the offense lost those games.
  14. wait, so now a coach CAN shit the bed in year one and still be fine? This is all very confusing. PLEASE do link the part where Venables is blaming the players for the losses though.
  15. Hmm, I wonder what happened after that 11-2 season that might have had some impact. Also they were 10-2 two seasons before he took over, then fell to 6-6 with Mike Shula, hired Saban and go 6-6 again. Gene Stallings took over a 10-2 Bama, lost 5 games his first year, 3 of his next 4 years were 11-2, 13-0, 12-1, including a natty.
  16. You keep saying this, and I'm not saying it's a lock Venables is the dude, but OU was still a Top 25 team in efficiency measures last year, the record was obv ugly going an unsustainable (unless you're Scott Frost) 0-5 in one score games. The only games OU wasn't in were a game on the road against a team that played for the national title where OU's only QB was hurt in the first half, and in the Cotton Bowl against a good team out for blood with OU starting one of the worst P5 QBs in this century. Nick Saban literally lost 7 games his first season at Bama, including a home loss to La-Monroe. Bob Stoops won one more game his first year than Venables did. Fickell went 6-6 his first and only season at tOSU. Again, not saying he's those guys, but acting like it's impossible he's not terrible b/c OU lost a huge lead in Lubbock at night and a wire to wire bowl game against a team in direct CFP consideration this year is silly. Win those 2 and he's 8-5 and then what? Impossible to be good from 8-5 taking over after a massive program upheaval? I do hope all you guys that are so sure are dumping thousands and thousands of dollars on that free TX -5.5 money.
  17. It’s a nice track and was in great condition in July. They are pretty proud of it and have some kind of confusing policies. I wouldn’t hesitate to fire it again.
  18. Star Ranch is currently good. Avery is a good layout, but I had heard about a month ago the greens were terrible with two temp greens. I drive by Hole 11 most days and the green looks good from the road. Teravista is usually slow pace-wise. Have you played Delaware Springs? I pretty strongly recommend that. Plum Creek in Kyle also in good shape and fun track, last I played. I'd go Star/Delaware/Plum and skip the package unless it's really really good value.
  19. Ugh sorry for the multi posting, tapa was giving an error saying not posted.
  20. You’re seeing what you want to see. The HUGE majority of OU Twitter is furious about this, with many calling for Lebby to be canned, just like Constant said, esp given that Joe C indicated this was specifically addressed at hire and then the profile pic apparent double down.

  22. Speaking of walking, Bandon trip part II is booked for Jan 9-16, 2025! Jan 10 - Sheep Ranch 9, 910, 920 Jan 11 - Old Mac 9, 910, 920 Jan 12 - New Shorty's 9, 915, 930; Preserve 215, 230, 245 Jan 13 - Pacific Dunes 940, 950, 1000 Jan 14 - Bandon Trails 1030, 1040, 1050 Jan 15 - Bandon Dunes 9, 910, 920 Nothing booked on travel day in or out, though obv could work in some Punchbowl or Preserve pending flight schedule etc. We grabbed 6 Forest Double rooms at the Inn. Any insight on how those compare to some of the other rooms on property and if it's worth swapping them out even if the whole group won't be at the Inn? I've only stayed in a Chrome Lake Double.
  23. One huge thing in taking away tipping and baking it in to prices is that it will incentivize restaurants to understaff since they are paying the full freight, so they will not want to pay servers $25/hour to stand around. Also, servers will really not want to work the busy times or Friday and Saturday nights. Now the benefit of those is you make more. If I can get $25/hr to lose my weekend and bust my ass or $25/hr to work a table or two on a Wed afternoon, why would I possibly take option 1?
  24. Played Bandit today, was E through 5 again, turned in 42. Hit the wall a bit, had a gross triple from 70 out in the fairway involving a penalty on a greenside bunker shot ffs. Still got home in 88 total. First time ever with 3 straight sub-90 rounds, drops the index to 17.6. 54 holes in less than 24 hours in August with pretty intense self-pressure is exhausting!
  25. Went out for an afternoon 18, shot a clean 87 (par 70) in like 2:20. They had a tourney on the front 9, back 9 is open, I'm hitting it well, LGLG, let's fire the back again. First hole I have 20 feet for eagle, tap in bird. First 6 holes I either hit a GIR or get up and down, one ridiculous up and down, E through 6. Miss a 7 footer for par on 7 and a 4 footer for bogey on 8. Finish with a +4 38. Well, can't let that just sit there! So then I battle heat, fatigue, pressure, darkness, and having to jump around to dodge the tourney (played the holes on the front 8-9-6-7-1-2-3-4-5). Had a pretty brutal triple on 1 with a bad break and bad chip. Got it home in 82 total. So 169 for the 2 rounds, best ball for the rounds was 76. Zero penalties for 36 holes, and second round was my first round with +SG in all 4 areas (compared to a 15). Would have been beyond tilting for anyone playing against me in a net match at the start of the 2nd round ha. Fun - this should drop me to a career low 17.8 index, so for the first time in my life, I'm better than a bogey golfer. LFG
