  1. Why would OU’s loss to WVU be ignored? I think it goes to other tiebreakers in that scenario.
  2. If WVU had hypothetically gone 8-1 in conference with the only loss being to OU, with Texas doing the same and OU going unbeaten, second place would likely come down to tiebreaker #4. That would basically mean which of WVU and UT’s uncommon Big 12 opponents had the better combined conference record would determine the winner of the tiebreaker. Fortunately that’s a moot point now, but WVU going 8-1 was never going to happen anyway.
  3. UH holy shit
  4. I’m starting to get flashbacks
  5. WVU will get a FG attempt at the very least
  6. WVU didn’t call the timeout right away and wasted like 10 seconds
  7. That’s a tough call on 3rd down, but fair. Receiver played it well to fight for it and draw the flag.
  8. Everyone ready for the warm-up act this weekend?
  9. Yeah Jake admitted he doesn’t root for Texas anymore because fans were too whiny or critical of him being a t-shirt fan or something like that, despite growing up a UT fan. I clearly remember some point last year him commenting how it was funny to see us fail.
  10. Yep. I’ve been a bit disappointed that the Dumb Zone has hardly even mentioned college football when they used to at least do a segment or two a week on it. Then again, most of what they would say back then would annoy me anyway given the lack of depth or just reveling in Texas losses and that kind of thing. I have several CFB podcasts that are very solid. All the cowboys talk is just background noise for me that I mainly tune out.
  11. More statistical projections on the conference race, from https://kfordratings.com/
  12. I know most here hate Herbie, but I thought this was cool:
  13. If only we all had a police escort to get around:
  14. Second to last question I think, Anwar asked him if he’d do anything different with regard to clock management on the last drive. Sark only addressed the playcalling after our last first down and subsequent sack and playing for the FG. Nothing about earlier in the drive.
  15. Some might say it would be soft to call in a rivalry game, but twice in the same drive Downs was talking shit getting in the face and bending down to make helmet contact with our player (Brooks, I think, then Ewers). Should have been taunting.
  16. Yes, and with play already stopped thus negating the hurry up, Sark should have been telling the offense during the stoppage to run the play clock down. In which case you’d think he would have noticed the incorrect timing by the officials, but it seems he didn’t.
  17. I hear what you’re saying, and the game at the Cotton Bowl has the more “magical” feel, but if you’re holding the Big 12 trophy at the end, that’s gonna matter more, regardless if the qualification for and staging that game itself is silly or superfluous. I attended as well and still remember OU fans flashing the number four at us as we filed out, indicating the number of consecutive conference titles they had won. Our earlier win in October is the win that felt hollow to me at that point.
  18. Holding Majors and Watts out this week, Sark will update when they know more by next Monday.
  19. Sark: Team is banged up, get healthy during off week Need to cause more turnovers, fix red zone offense, work on 2 minute defense, and improve the return game
  20. Sark is holding a presser right now
  21. Since the move to digital tickets, Gate A to get in the stadium has to be avoided. It’s painfully slow and feels unsafe, and absolutely miserable if it’s hot out. We were stuck there last year and almost missed kickoff. This year I went from the Car Show to Big Tex area to Gate B around 10:30 and made it to my seats (admittedly very close to Gate B), by 10:40ish. Can’t speak to the other “main gates”, D, G, and K, but strong recommend to use the in-between ones if you can.
  22. No offense Dallas fans, but I’m so glad not to also be a Cowboys fan
  23. Every section stands the whole game at Texas/OU. Is it really GA for students at this game? I know it is at home games but I figured they had assigned seats in this one. If so, what a clusterfuck.
  24. Finished watching the replay. Hard not to notice it somewhat in person, but wow did Jaylan Ford have a terrible game. We definitely could have used more clock on the FG drive but the tempo was also part of the drive’s success so hard to say it’s a black and white issue of coaching failure. Once we had first down at the 30 we should have been using the maximum amount of time possible though. I pray we get another chance at those guys.
  25. Unless we win a rematch, we’re now guaranteed not to win consecutive games against OU from 2009 until AT LEAST 2025. Considering the programs’ trajectories over that time, it’s not shocking, but fuck is it painful.
