Texas v OU. The Red River Shootout. Good v evil. Class v none. Good breeding v inbreeding. Teeth privileged v toothless. 2 proud football programs. One world class institution of higher learning and one glorified community college that exists to service their football team. 

SEC nonsense aside, this is the game that means more. 12 schools (maybe 13?) officially consider Texas their main rival according to a poll I saw last year. Thankfully, with the move to the SEC we’ve gotten away from the majority of these no win games against second rate schools that represent nothing but potential downside. 
 

Texas considers itself to have 3 rivals, but they aren’t all created equally. Arkansas left 30 years ago and we put them on the schedule a handful of times and played them as a curiosity for the olds who wouldn’t stop blathering about royal and Broyals and Fayetnam and cousin loving and blah blah blah. 
 

Aggy left and we laughed at them when they lost eternal scoreboard, and decided never to play them again. 
 

OU though, OU is special. College football has gone through massive realignment where every school is out for themselves and 2 schools have stood out on deciding they are a package deal, Texas and OU. Both, by any metric top 8 or so programs. The richest and most envied program in America in Texas. Probably the second most accomplished (or 3rd behind Bama and maybe the Domers) in Oklahoma. We have owned them historically. They’ve probably out shined us a bit in the 21st century. But this is a series of runs. Schools rip off 4 in a row or 8 out of 10 and it serves as a spotlight for what the other school needs to do to get better. We’ve been on the bad side of that the last 15 years or so as we’ve wandered the desert. No more. 
 

This game is so important because generally the winner is national title quality. When you go on that run when you win 5 in a row or 8 out of 10 you are likely rolling and ready too dominate. Sark has 2 tasks left at Texas after acing most everything leading up to this- flip the script decisively in this series and win a national title. 
it says here that he will do both those things starting this year. 
Give em hell give em hell, OU sucks. 
its 8:19 in the morning and OU sucks. 
texas doesn’t fall into the gulf because OU sucks. 
hook em high like an eagle soars. Even dear old Bill in Sinton wouldn’t worry about anyone overlooking this game- it’s the one always circled in red ink.

It was a bye week for us, so I went camping and fishing on the Nueces.  Glad to be home to comfortable bed and recliner.  I see nothin' has changed ou still sucks.  Same as it ever was and ever will be.

It's been a lot longer than 15 years.  Fucking mack.  Sark needs to go on a nice long run to put the all-time series numbers closer to where they need to be.  Losing last year with a superior team was concerning.

33-13 horns. Closer than it looks. At least one Sooner is decleated and doesn’t return to the game. Blue is redeemed with a huge day. 
 

 

Yeah, I think this is gonna look pretty comparable to the Michigan game.

A lot of fucking posts this past week overlooking OU with stuff like “Let’s hate on Georgia” or “what time will the Georgia game be…”

Get focused, Shaggy. This game is always unpredictable.

We don't play. We're fans.

I expect OU to have an offensive strategy similar to many of the others we have faced thus far.  Run the ball, try to muddy it up see if we can make some mistakes that gets the ball rolling for them.  We need to come out and do unto them what they have done to us so much the last couple decades and blow them out before things ever really get started.

Didn’t go so great for us last year. In this game I’d rather start on D.

I think a lot of people are going to find out this isn’t last year, though. 

Sarkisian made the decision in Ann Arbor based on the weather and a possible 4th quarter field goal attempt, so his decision will have some thought put into it.

I always wonder why we don't have more pump fakes in our offense. For the number of WR screens we play, a few pump fakes would both keep the DBs from jumping and potentially lead to long YACs.

Wouldn't put them above tOSU and they are basically on par with SC.

I’ll say this:

the last time I was turbofucked out of attending this game was in 2022, when a last minute work trip bungled my plans. The result was me watching the 49-0 destruction on my phone and holding a cold pack to my turgid member to release the 3-hr erection. 
 

last year I was there in my seats, and we know how that went down. 
 

this year, I have to miss again due to some morons not knowing how to schedule a fucking wedding in this state. So if we do happen to beat the fuck out of OU again, my superstitious side would have me considering if I should attend a RRS again.

I bet they would learn their lesson if no one showed up.

This is probably the weakest OU OL in what seems like 10-15 years. Last year, the inability to get to Gabriel really caused issues as did Ewers initial turnovers. 
 

as with almost every game, the OL and DL play will dictate what happens. 
 

also, funk Stutsman.

I bought vip tickets to Cosm in LA to watch this on the dome. I have no idea what to think. Like last year we should mudhole them.  They don’t have a QB worth a shit. Our offense will pummel. We need the defense to show zero mercy
