  1. That's the point. Who cares if UT gets 8 yds with 26 secs left as long as the UT receiver stays in bounds?
  2. This is a pretty bad loss. For all the love KU's coach is getting today, he had some really bonehead decisions. I'm not even talking about the 4th down decisions. On UT last TD in regulation to tie the game at 49, the KU DBs were playing press man. Game situation: KU 49, UT 42. 3rd and 1 at the KU 25, 26 sec left. Why press man with their terrible corners?
  3. You have 2 points. I'll take them individually. I guess you'll lead the SEC!SEC! chants. You play the schedule you're given, and OU's never ducked teams. SEC West has been consistently tough because of Bama. SEC East has had several years with mediocre winners. This is very similar to the 2000s in the B12 South with OU, UT and periodically Tech and OkSt. These things WERE cyclical. They may not be cyclical in the future if the SEC locks in massive financial advantages. ----------------- Beating your instate rival is really easy (eyeroll). OkSt has been ranked 3/4 times Riley's Sooners played them. The Poke were higher ranked last year. Just ask Michigan or Alabama how easy it is to beat little brother. Since 2017 (when Riley became head coach): Bama 2 wins, Auburn 2 Michigan 2, Mich St 3 I'm done.
  4. This is the best OkSt run in the history of the program. Gundy is 0-4 vs Riley. Wouldn't Herman still be around if he'd won the B12 CG in 2018? Instead, Herman was 1-4 and gone.
  5. Probably worth less than that since last year. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/09/us/supreme-court-oklahoma-mcgirt-creek-nation.html
  6. The post you initially replied to was hyperbole, and I assumed you understood this. Anyway, Riley compares favorably to early Saban, I mean LSU-Saban. Look up the numbers. Saban's championship obviously gives it to him, but early Riley is more consistent and beats rivals more consistently. I'm done here.
  7. Yeah, I read your last sentence. I just couldn't believe it. Over 4+ years, which UT coaches EVER have done better than this? Let me do the math for you: zero. DKR crushed OU to start (12-2), but he didn't dominate everyone else. He finished 11, unranked, 4, unranked, 3 over his first five years (39-13-3, 73%). Mack Brown went 49-15 (76%), but 2-3 vs OU including the following losses 63-14, 65-13, 14-3 with one of the most memorable plays in OU history (Roy Williams "Superman"). There are no other UT coaches in the conversation. Here's Riley: 54-8, 86% 14-4 vs top 25 Vs Rivals: UT 5-1, OkSt 4-0 3 playoff appearances in 4 years and 9-0 this year. Two Heismans already, and maybe his best QB has only started 3 games. His recruiting is only now picking up. He's only 38 years old, and he's the OC wherever he goes giving you more money to spend on other coaches.
  8. Those were SEC-quality false starts.
  9. The last 3 years, their defense has been 27, 20, and 9th this year (all rankings are based on F+. Their defensive talent, especially on the DL, is good and improving. If Elko leaves, the change may interrupt their ascent. But I don't think there's data supporting regression of defense at least.
  10. The Aggies are going to have a good-to-excellent defense. We're going to learn if Jimbo can still orchestrate a top offense in the next couple of years (in F+ from 2019 to 2021: 32, 15, 37).
  11. You guys need to give PK more of a chance. He's good.
  12. I'd love for OU to go after Wilcox as a defensive coordinator. Even in this disastrous season, the Bears' defense may be better than OU's.
  13. Morris didn't go through spring ball and was out part of the fall for some reason. He'll be a good option for one of the tackle spots for the next year or two for the Sooners. He was a good take for OU because they missed out on a couple of OT prospects (got Byrd though, who's gotten some positive reviews).
  14. Hanlon's razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity Remember it. It'll make your life better.
  15. Was in reference to the dude from Wisconsin. I'm saying that the portal can be for high upside plays (Wanya Morris, Kingsley) and 1-year roster fillers (Congel, Wisconsin dude). OU hasn't taken at jag who's got more than a year of eligibility left to date.
  16. SC's administration has been WORSE than the goofballs in Knoxville in some respects. https://apnews.com/article/7a758a4b1f7945d7b42d90ff648597c3 But SC will always be in LA and Tennessee will always be in Knoxville so SC will always be the better job, if the administration wants it to be. Not so quietly, SC has been aspiring to changes its reputation more towards Stanford/ND than Alabama. They still have legions of meathead undergrad alumni who will not allow football to fall too far, but building an academic reputation has been the admins focus for quite some time. In this environment, sports teams can be viewed as more of a potential for negative attention than anything else.
  17. The Zen Master played 12 years in the Association and was contributing member of two championship teams as a player.
  18. @Sir Ulrich LSU is a tire fire with NCAA and Title 9 investigations. There are LOTS of skeletons in closets. Everyone is getting paid for their silence on the way out there. Otherwise, I'm sure you'd have seen more aggressive negotiations on future payments for Pelini and Ed-O.
  19. OU got good run from Robert Congel this year. He's a guy who (I think) initially walked on at A&M, and then played some there then transferred to a terrible Arizona team, played a lot there then portaled OU and started 3 games at center. Low ceiling, medium floor Good take, one year rental OU's also seems to be benefiting from taking Wanya Morris Top 100 recruit from Tennessee Portaled to OU this year and has played in most games until Kansas High ceiling, low floor Will be in the mix to start at OT for what should be a good OU OL next year. Good take, 2-3 year player
