[Vertigo 20267]

Some of the teams we have historically had trouble with over the last 20 years do not scare me this year. KState, IA State, TCU, Tech, etc. The bigger and better we get on the lines of scrimmage, the worse it bodes for those guys. We absolutely mashed KSU and IA State up front last year, and had we been able to run the ball at all on TCU we win that game, as bad as the offense played.

Left behind NCs claimed:

OSU: 1946- bogus claim. Army was far better and everyone at the time knew it. 
TCU: 1935, 1938- legit

UCF: 2017- bogus

BYU:1984- ehh, legit claim, based on the system at the time, but I don’t know that they would have won any major conference 

Any others?

Every game. If the other guys aren’t running clock, you’re trying to score. Even then, you let your backup run the full offense.

1984 BYU is about like John David Crow’s Heisman. It may not be in Make A Wish territory, but it’s a short walk at most.

Yeah it also says OU is the 2003 champions despite two losses and not even being its conference champ.

But it seems pretty clear it is just saying that such and such poll or computer program is saying such and such program as the champ, rather than endorsing or recognizing it. The NCAA doesn't recognize a FBS Champ.

Nope, I was very pleased with the schedule. Two new away games that we will go to. Don’t have to play 3 teams that beat us last year. I feel like it worked out well for the final year.

Looks like we get to play on the road at Houston and TCU after each of those teams are coming off a Thursday game.   

We also get Baylor on the road the week after they play Long Island which is essentially a bye week. Really, Baylor? Long Island? Come the fuck on. We can't get out of this conference fast enough.

They also stuck us the latest day possible to play Iowa State in what could/should be terrible weather. 

I suppose it could be worse and we do only leave the state once in conference. Whatever. There isn't one game on the conference schedule that I'm truly looking forward to outside of OU. Maybe BYU is semi-interesting? Other than that, meh. I repeat, we can't get out of this conference fast enough.

BYU coming here makes sense. 2011 and 2014 there were a shitload of BYU fans at DKR, so they either travel well or there are just a ton of mormons in Texas.  Just hope Taysom Hill doesn't have any more eligibility left. 

There are a ton of LDS in Texas, especially in DFW (and especially in Collin County), Houston and Austin.  with roughly about 800k+ in the state altogether based on church records.

ou got some seriously favorable treatment.  they get three of the noobs and drop kstate, baylor, and tech who all beat them last year.

OU has never beaten us, hopefully the trend continues on 11/18 to 0-3 all-time.  We have their number for some reason.

I went to UH for my doctorate. The bolded part is absolutely true. I remember being astonished at how much the undergrads loathed Texas, considering these were kids who would have been born during the final years of the SWC or after it’s death, and there was no relationship between the schools throughout their lives. There was is a near-Aggie level inferiority complex with them.

Brunch at Hugo’s Sunday morning…..

MAybe I’ll get some DimSom  before the game as it won’t be season for Viet Cajun crawfish. I assume we’ll be a night game.

Just have to figure out what to do about dinner if it isn’t. Killens? IDK.

Post game at the Men’s Club, though.

I noticed we play KSU on a Friday night and not Thanksgiving weekend. I'm not a fan. For all the consternation about who gets treated how, OU and I think UT always avoided midweek games outside of Thanksgiving weekend. OU's excuse was always about traffic, like Norman is the only city in the conference that has traffic on Friday afternoons.

What is this and what does it mean? Just two agriculture schools playing each other or is it something deeper? Or, do you just prefer when your school plays another "farm" school?

ISU/KSU is the longest running uninterrupted series in college football, allegedly.  Every year since WWI with no breaks ever.  It’s become a pretty bitter affair since the mid aughts.  The schools, towns, and fanbases are remarkably similar.  The Farmageddon nickname came from a KC newspaper when we did a neutral site game in Arrowhead in like ‘08.  Both sides loved it and ran with it.

Probably smart of the conference to try to help OSU as much as they can. That's a program that will get some benefit of the doubt from the national media, despite having a roster that looks like it could finish 14th in the conference.
