OU is going to need Hawkins ripping off long runs on broken plays, and for our offense to fuck up a lot to win. I’ll agree with Burton. If Texas can score 30 they should win comfortably.

He singled out Sorrell and the lack of pass rush before last year’s game. Texas didn’t do themselves any favors in the Cotton Bowl last year, but this was a pretty big factor. That said, giving OU fan hope by saying Hill sucks is quite the take. If Nansen fixes Hill and Simmons’ run fits, OU is screwed.

I like that Jelly Roll stood up like a man and admitted he had fallen and made terrible mistakes. I like that he’s campaigned for opiate treatment and passionately addressed Congress to fix it. I don’t like that he’s admitted to being an addict, but regularly drinks and smokes weed. If addiction is a disease, it should be taken seriously. It also send a a shitty message to young people. Don’t do certain drugs kids. i really wouldn’t give a shit what he looks like if he were a better singer. Stapleton and a host of others are better vocalists. That said, I enjoyed his second song on SNL and thought he did well above average as a musical guest.

A perfectly enjoyable Clooney and Pitt movie. I think it would have made money in theaters. The release date was weird. It’s set during the Holidays, and has Clooney and Pitt in it. Surely that’s a Thanksgiving or Christmas Day release right? Release it in theaters on Thanksgiving. Apple + release on Christmas. Profit.

I loved watching him play on the Nuggets. I’ll never forget them knocking off the Sonics in ‘94. He also dominated on NBA Jam. RIP big fella.

Great second episode . This show is going places.

Blackwell’s will ship to Texas. His pricing is all over the map, but he’s reasonable on bottles that aren’t allocated. He offers free shipping if you spend enough. Otherwise, be prepared to get crushed on shipping.

Taking Livingstone and not taking McCutcheon would be a move.

Are they tied with UNLV and not listed on the website or something? https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll

Funny in bits and pieces. The only show that knows how to highlight his strengths is Nora from Queens.

For once, I’ll agree that aggy has legitimate beef with the polls. They should be in the AP Poll’s top 25. 2 SEC wins, competitive loss to Notre Dame, and ranked 21st in the Coaches.

I wonder if OU put their entire Hawkins offense on film against Auburn? You’d have to assume it’s a limited playbook to begin with and they were fighting for their lives. I doubt Cracky was fine with losing 2 straight conference games to hide plays from Texas. While I’d love to see Nansen v Arnold Part 2, but that’s not going to happen.

I wasn’t thrilled with his run fits against MS State, but that’s correctable.

While I agree, they have to incentivize conference champions for TV + tickets. For your system to work, they’d all have to agree to no CC games which is never going to happen.

I think they clinched 8&4 yesterday. We’re enjoying an easy schedule too, and we play many of the same opponents that are having below average seasons with coaching changes looming. Theyl’ll celebrate it as a program headed in the right direction and they’ll play the same conference schedule next year. I think the difference between them and South Carolina is Reed. Maybe Jimbo’s best/only good QB eval since Winston. Credit to the kid for continuing to develop in the middle of a coaching change. He hasn’t taken any time off. I think every big school in the SEC is going to get 4 and 5 star QBs, and Longstreet’s brother is already on the time. There’s really no need to massage Weigman leaving. He was never really good, and he got Wally Pipp’d. That’s an easy sell to recruits. Stay ready and if you’re better than the other guy, you’ll keep your job. I think 8&4 is who they are culturally. It’ll be tough for the bottom to fall out unless the conference goes to 9 games.

Random thoughts: - I believe every Big 12 CCG has featured a 2 loss team or worse since they brought it back. Everybody is heaving dirt on Okie State right now, but they’ve had weirder seasons than winning out this year. After the Utah loss last night, I don’t see many paths for them to get 2 teams in. The best path was Utah and BYU splitting the Holy War and the CCG and each team finishing with 1 loss. Maybe a 1 loss K Steak gets revenge and the knocks off an undefeated BYU in the CCG and they get 2 in. - Good to excellent chance Clemson wins the ACC and is seeded higher than Georgia. When people say the regular season doesn’t matter anymore, they’ll point to this example. The ACC was pretty clever not to schedule Clemson and Miami in the regular season. I think a 1 loss Miami would be in, and I’m convinced they’d lose to Clemson if they played today. That’s how you game scheduling folks. - I’m pretty concerned Liberty wins out and gets the 12th seed. Their schedule is a joke and they just canceled a game against their toughest remaining opponent. I pray they slip up. A 12-0 Liberty, best win is East Carolina,, in the CFP is going to deeply piss BIG and SEC fans that get left out. It’s why I don’t think the current model is long for this world. That said, a Texas home game against Liberty is the next thing to a bye.

What’s the timeline on Mixon and Dell to return? 2 more games on Autry.

We’re 3-1 and still haven’t played a good half much less a good game. I’ll take every day of the week.

We’ll see. If everybody on their schedule keeps winning, fOSU would have 3-4 top 10 wins.

Way too cute on first and second down here.

I’d keep an eye on fOSU. They have a lot of ranked opponents left, and they’ll probably beat Oregon or Penn State twice. Pretty plausible they get the 1 seed in December.

I’d imagine there’s a fair amount of bitching on TexAgs that they’re not top 15. 2 SEC wins!

It’s pretty shitty. They’re begging for money on the radio like a broke ass preacher. Freeze recently said he admires Ole Miss’ NIL Collective.

I didn’t like the cold open, but the rest of the show was pretty good. Spirit Halloween and Weekend Update were hilarious.

Mixon’s reluctance to play is baffling. You’re in your last contract man! Get your performance incentives.
