Texas opens as a 2 point underdog v Oklahoma

[Bigbend1812 13063]

Fuck OU.    Fuck you Tom.  I’ll change that to screw you if you win. 

[General Specific 3508]

last team with the ball wins.

You mean last team with balls right? Right?

[markstanco 12815]

I may have been the last believer of TH. Out now. It's hard to wish for a loss but if this dipshit backs in to a conference championship he will be around next year. Just beat ou and then go away next year.

I don't know shit, but I think the Horns beat the ever loving shit out of OU

[Funk Doctor Spock 13294]

I had a bad feeling about TCU, but I actually feel like we're going to beat ou. After that we'll go back to doing the same stupid shit. We'll beat ou, Tom will say things are getting better, people will have hope, we lose again, wash, rinse, repeat. 

[TexArcher 39080]

Agreed.  I picked us to beat ou 41-31.

I also feel like we're gonna finish 6-4.

And fuck ou.

[Funk Doctor Spock 13294]

Yep, I'm thinking 6-4 is about right. 

[El Squared 1857]

No matter what happens, Herman will get paid very well, just like the B12 refs....

[orangecat92 306]

Ou by 4.  Riley is gonna ride the refs all game.  He has a lot to lose by losing 3 in a row.  Refs will call 1 holding penalty on ou to 3 on us.

They may beat the shit out of them the entire game, but that just means a last-second FG win for turtle-Tom.

[Billy Pilgrim 2079]

Is it COVID or knowing that Herman is an extremely mediocre coach that makes me feel much less excitement about this game this year? Having trouble getting psyched up for this one

[AnTiM 1698]

Is there any chance that Ossai will ever have another game like he did against Utah?

This is normally my favorite week of the year.  I even have a different Texas shirt for each day, that I normally wear to the office.

This year I'm working from home, haven't bothered wearing any Texas gear, and just realized that this is the least excited I've been about a TX-OU game in over three decades.

eff you tom

[GhostofDanJones 336]

This is who will bail us out this weekend 

For the first time in years I'm not hyped at all for this game. 

[Droopy 2639]

As much as last week/end sucked, it's still TX/OU. This is THE weekend of the year.

Fuck OU.

Fuck the Sooners and their shitty team/fanbase/band.

Get your shit together and your HORNS up!!!! 🤘

The time is currently 8:27am CST...

Same.  I have a TX buddy that puts together a huge event for this game each year.  Last year we had about 40 people @ Texas Live.  When my family and I moved back to Dallas 3 years ago, I was as excited about this day as any other reason to return home.  

This year, we're hitting up a place in Addison.  Between COVID and this shit season, I'm "meh".

[BornOrange1955 77]

when I see the players run onto the field, I will feel goosebumps, and wish like hell I had had the opportunity (and skill) to have played in just one of the Texas-ou games. My hatred for OU will rise in my heart, and I will want to beat the ever loving snot out of those cheaters.

But yeah, otherwise, this year feels different.

[TexArcher 39080]

As others have noted, I'm having a hard time getting up for this one.  And it's not just Covid and quarantine -- I'm plenty up for the Astros playoff run. 

But I'm seriously disappointed that our new defensive coordinator apparently hasn't fixed jack or shit.  Plus, ou is so bad that even if we win, no one will care, then we're gonna go lay an egg against some scrubs anyway, so if this game is the difference between 6-4 and 5-5, who really gives a shit?

I'm hoping I can gin up some righteous hatred by kickoff.  Because fuck ou.

74 college football teams are playing currently. PFF grades Texas as #72 of 74 in tackling, and OU as #73 of 74. You never know, but yeah this feels like an absurd 51-45 type of game. BTW, for those wondering who tackles worse - Vanderbilt. So that's good.

Its been 10 fucking years of this shit!!!!!!

[Horn of Gabriel 1886]

One of three things will happen:

1) We squeak by OU because they throw the game at us and we hear "TEXAS IS BACK" right up until we back our way into the Big XII championship and OU skull fucks us again - 60% chance

2) OU destroys us and we back our way into the championship game again and squeak by with a W there "TEXAS IS BACK" and get destroyed in the non-playoff bowl game... 30% chance

3) Season totally off the rails, lose to KU, we go full Chollie Strong, 10% chance of happening

I'm not sure which I prefer TBH.  I guess the Big XII win.

I doubt OU makes the CCG with 3 conference losses. KState and ISU have scoreboard on them and Okie Lite is looking like a bad matchup.

Loser of this game isn't going to the big 12 title game.  Winner may not as well, but the loser is definitely out.  And who's Chollie?

[BurntOrangeCrush 1034]

I'm not feeling it. KSU and Iowa St put pressure on Rattler rushing 4 guys and both of those teams run the ball well. These are two things UT struggles with. Rattler has been accurate as hell when he has time to throw the ball and you have to get pressure on him. If this game is a shootout, we could win (in theory) if we continue to be aggressive offensively no matter the score as BlowU defense sucks. But if it's the 4th and we have anywhere from a 1 point lead or an 8 point lead, we will rush the ball 3 times for 2 yards and punt it.

[stork642 4511]

Ferrell was on SiriusXM earlier and he just can’t hide his disdain for Texas.  I bet he has a life sized cardboard cutout of Lincoln in his office.  Said all the pressure is on Texas and says nothing about OU possible going 0 and 3 in conference.  Fucking pathetic.  

[utee94 16091]

Ferrell?  That dude with the hat that sang "Happy?"  I love that guy!

Not sure why he hates us, but it's hard to disagree.  I have disdain for this Texas team, too.

What pressure is on OU? They are breaking in a new QB after 3 straight trips to the CFP and 3 straight big 12 titles.

There’s pressure on Riley to show he can develop his hand picked QB.  I don’t think the kid is a winner but he has a ton of talent.  We will see.  Also his defensive coordinator hire is not looking too good either.   Texas wins this week and all of the sudden Riley has issues.  Not saying UT will win but I think there is pressure on both teams but Ferrell only talks about how shitty Texas is...Fuck Ferrell and the Brocks.
