  1. the only that will surprise me is winning by more than 3 points. I think this might be one of those 4 overtime games.
  2. Thanks a bunch!
  3. dang, I can't find the post about the restaurant in Austin that will smoke a brisket for you for $1 per pound. I thought it was from this thread, looked back a year and a half. Can somebody help with this? thx
  4. recommendation for best Korean BBQ, AYCE?
  5. On second thought, why not Ole Miss? Lane Kiffin drama would drive Georgia and Alabama people nuts, and have they ever won a NC before?
  6. so, I looked at the box score. Barkley evidently needed more yards to get the over. I saw that the U/O was 72.5. He finished with 83 yards. Just watching the highlights, Barkley gained 8 yards after the penalty on a 3rd and 8 with 57 seconds left on the clock. Not 100% rigged, but pretty close to evidence Barkley needed a bit more yards to get the over.
  7. This makes me think of the famous Benny Barnes(Dallas Cowboys) fake call that helped the Steelers in the Super Bowl one of those times. Literally nothing there. Both calls were for the team leading at the time. Neither team needed the help. Eagles were winning last night. Steelers were going to beat the Cowboys. Glad Collinsworth did not hesitate to call it out. Ref should be suspended for x number of games without pay.
  8. root for anybody who plays OU, Alabama, Georgia, etc. And probably Indiana.
  9. KC is gonna have to come in the back door if they want to be in playoffs.
  10. Bo about to beat the refs AND Mahomes.
  11. Denver needs another int.
  12. Chiefs hold more than Sooners. and the refs give it back to the chiefs. actually a good call, though.
  13. it is truly amazing they keep giving the calls.
  14. just watched highlights only, but OU looks like they have found a defense.
  15. I don't think we move a spot, unless the committee moves BYU directly under us. I guess we might move up one, to 10.
  16. Notre Dame with the score and a one TD lead.
  17. yeah, they're not throwing to Coleman. Dummies.
  18. if this goes to two OTs, I think he will have over 500 yards. I think he is at 495.
  19. the funny thing to me is, it just doesn't matter if Coleman is covered or not. He can catch the ball, no matter where. Kind of like Megatron used to be.
  20. man, after last series, I would throw deep to Coleman...here it goes.
  21. so cocky!! ha!!
  22. I want to see a team be smart for a change and use their timeouts on D...Auburn, yes, and they took their first one.
  23. omg, he does look like Herman. Breathe, really? ok, dude
  24. I don't think we're getting help from anybody today. Maybe a miracle and Navy upsets Notre Dame?
  25. First, a three part series comes to mind: First, to get the flavor if you will of Texas-OU in the 1970s, and to see just how talented all of the defensive players seemed to be, watch the 1976 Texas-OU game. If you like defense and special teams, wow, unbelievable!! Just writing about this game stresses me!! Then follow that by watching the 1977 Texas-OU game. Again a feast for the defensive player in your soul, but also Earl!!! Earl had to be heisman worthy just to score one touchdown against the incredibly talented OU defense. I think this was the game that was televised only in Oklahoma City and Austin. ABC was not allowed to pick up the game, because OU was on probation. I believe it was a TV crew split-half Texas, half OU. I think Steve Ross was a commentator for the Texas side. Finally a kicking exhibition broke out the next week in Arkansas. After probably the hardest hitting game of the year, we had to travel to Arkansas and play against Steve Little and the razorbacks. great catch and run by Earl. To my memory he only caught two passes that year, one against Ark. and one against Aggy, both screen passes, both very successful. Switching to the offensive side of the ball; pick any game that we won in the mid 1980s that featured Eric Metcalf starting. Truly amazing. I only saw him in person one time, in a loss against Aggy, but he was absolutely out-of-this world elusive. Finally, since you said before 2005, correct? Go back and watch the 2004 Texas-OSU game. We knew what would happen in '05, because of what happened in 2004. Oops, one honorable mention type game that is probably not even on YouTube. We all know that we had to play three QBs against OU in 1977. However, few people remember that McEachern would also become bothered by a minor injury and true freshman Sam Ansley would start against either SMU or TCU. But, Ansley had to go out for one play during the game, equipment problem I think. So someone yells at Ricky Churchman DB, and he takes the snap, hands off to Earl, and Earl scores a 30 something yard TD! (I am 100% Ricky was a DB, but I am not 100% sure he was the DB who took the snap.) I could be wrong, but I believe that cements 1977 as the year that the most QBs played in a game. four QBs, and one DB took snaps. I think the case could be made that 5 players taking a snap in an undefeated regular season is probably the highest number in NCAA history.
