    Damn that’s a game we for sure usually lose. I’m guessing that’s been said 1008 times by now but I’m joining in. Ugly, solid d, bijan…good-not great, worthy-why can’t we use him more? He has to have the full route tree. That route was filthy….

    Worthy said in the post game that he runs that route/play in practice and the D plays it well because they see it all the time. So he knew they hadn’t seen it and that he knew it was going to work. 😁🤘🏼

    ISU fans are taking this loss hard man…

    Yeah, we’ll we’ve taken the last 3 pretty hard so it’s their turn to be bitter. At least they have that sweet culture to fall back on. 😬

    My phone wouldn't work for shit in there.  At least not until Okie's started clearing out.

    I was hit or miss, the signal seemed to come in waves, but overall it was working enough to see scores. I was also 15 rows under the AT&T sign and there was a signal booster close by. That being said, I like that the focus during that game is on the game itself with little to no bullshit outside of small asides for dedications and whatnot. At DKR, I'd just like the band to be featured more than the DJ music and get rid of Cole and find someone that will give the old school announcing a try. 

  3. I think Tennessee can do it, but for some reason it feels like a trap game, where we find ourselves watching the final minutes of the game with Bama up by 21 and the Tennessee fans asking themselves what happened. Plus, that Safety with the arrest is 100% playing in this game, I'd bet the house on it. I'm still taking Bama. Saban is Saban for a reason and his teams find ways to win. Either way, it should be fun.

    The one thing that bugs me is the turnover margin for Bama. They need to protect the ball better. Is Bama a good team or do they just out talent everybody? I think they are ripe for an upset, but I think they get up for this game like no other and find a way.

    Any golf fans find this a surprisingly simple explanation on how to focus while kicking putting? Visualization of all the moving parts and seeing the kick go in before it's kicked. I kicked FGs in HS and tried to do this as best I could, but this really resonates with me for golf, or any situation where focus is needed. Dudes a beast... and a Longhorn Legend. 🤘

    Any video of The Eyes at the end? I was hoping ABC would stay a few minutes longer and show it

    I Have a video of it I took from the empty Sooner end zone that’s awesome. I’ll try to post it later.

    What a special game to attend. Fuck OU

    It was. I’m still kind of shocked honestly. 
     

    It’s as if the gods asked someone from Surly what their wet dream of a TX/OU game outcome would be and made it so. Fuck yes! Fuck OU! Hook’em 🤘🏼

    We haven’t been to an OU game in 6 or 7 years.

    They are having dinner here this evening:

    I ate their too but we were at the head table and knew the owner. Our total for 5 guys was $5,118.23. 😳 But the owner discounted down to $1.,487.82. BUT…

    If I am going to eat $1000 worth of king crab legs, I’m wearing sweatpants to the restaurant. 

    Dude. We had a 7 course meal that included… the largest shrimp scampi, oysters and Cavier, crab rigatoni, grilled king crab, waygu prosciutto, steak, grilled asparagus, 6 different desserts, and $2600 of wine. We drank 10 bottles. Best meal I’ve ever had.

    The question is would you rather have a rusty Ewers who might take a few series to get back into rhythm, or Card, who has shown some improvements the last two games but is still much more limited in what he can do in Sark's offense?

    Ewers.

    Card has done what a good back up should, keep the offense rolling as best he can and hope the D keeps you in it. Now that the starter is ready, you let him take the reins back over. If he looks rusty or isn't in game shape, you let the backup QB do his job again.

    Who is quoted in this?

    BJ Johnson, one of my favorite players of all time. 🤘

     

    Sad, that the O couldn't just say fuck it, and run their own plays. Davis and Mack were the definition of "Turtle" in this game. Hit them in the mouth and keep doing it until they stop you. Just win, Baby!

    What is with these ankle biting small school press people spewing venom at Texas and OU constantly? 

    This guy and John Kurtz for KState, The Baylor 247 guys and other have just been relentless in their stupid hot takes all season. Like every episode of anything they do has some kind of anti Texas bashing session. 

    We're the evil empire to everyone, it's what they do, so I embrace it. As a Yankee fan, it comes with the territory.

    Yea when the ratings come out he will be deleting his tweet. 

    Naw, it'll stay up because nobody gives a fuck about this guy and his opinion, other than those that already know him and share his opinion.

    Leaving this conference is like divorcing an abusive partner. The marriage had lots of potential, but the constant nagging, finger-pointing and bullshit we've had to endure since 1996 has worn down the last strongholds we had to stay. So, we're leaving and taking the dog with us to our new place, but while we make our exit and finalize the paperwork, the spouse wants to keep getting digs in because they have nothing else to fall back on. Which is fine, and we'll be fine. My thoughts on leaving the conference are that I will miss ISU, OkSt, KSU and KU, but that's it. But, honestly now and after we leave the Big XII my thoughts overall are...

    Damn, they down BAD bad

    Fuck that reverse jinx bullshit by those assholes. Defense needs to eat this game, and our RBs need to break their D's will to play the game. Go ahead early and never look back. 🤘😈

    The OU posters repeat a lot of the themes we see on this board.

    1. A bunch of posters that say after a bad loss we will never win again this year

    2. The eternal hopeful poster

    3. The poster that calls all others pussies despite the product on the field

    4. I don't think I saw the poster that said we are going to mudhole their ass even after a 30+ point loss. I am sure he is on there somewhere.

    Different, just like everyone else.

    This is exactly the kind of thing Mack used to say days before one of those 65-13 style shellackings.

    Get ready boys. It's gonna be a fun Saturday.

     

    Yup! Dumb when Mack said it, and dumb for him to say it. I'm sure OU (sucks) will be wishcasting that he just says that for the media and to not give any bulletin board material, but we know Mack meant it, and if I was in their shoes I'd be nervous about each RRS going forward with Venables. That being said, I hope Venables is John Blake 2.0. 🤘

  12. That poor kid being a meme forever sucks (like ou), but the chef's kiss is that the kid is sandwiched between a crumpled pack of Marlboro's in the back pocket of the Mom jeans on the right and the cargo shorts on the left. "But, Dad said we could get a snow cone! Yeah, well, that was in the first quarter."

    Funny. I loved it. But then the late 80s/early 90s era where the stadium was half filled everybody sat down and chatted amongst themselves and yelled at you to sit down every time you tried to get into the game is where I got my start. Back in 2000 the crowd boo'd our own band. I don't know how Bellmont is doing this. I don't know how we are getting 100,000 screaming fans in to see this 5-7 program play a shitty team like WV but they are doing it. It's a damn miracle. Even in like 2005 once Texas was way ahead everybody would fucking leave and it would be me and a few thousand weirdos left in the stadium to sing the Eyes of Texas. So I don't know what this comparison is being made to, or what rose tinted memories you think happened in the past. Sure it wasn't the 2008 Missouri game or the 1990 Houston game but those were in the middle of amazing seasons not coming off a demoralizing loss to Tech and a 5-7 year. I don't know what you fuckers want. I am there for the football and the football watching experience was good. I don't know, maybe I couldn't hear the cheerleaders or the band as well as maybe I did in 1993. I don't know. Don't care.

    The crowds in the old days were generally shit and I usually enjoyed UT football despite them. Everything seems much better now. I don't know why but I am grateful.

    But the stadium was filled, it was loud, and the fans were into it and it achieved my objective. My kids were up on their feet screaming for the team despite not giving a fucking shit about football going in. 

    The loss to tech sucked but that stadium was still full and loaded, as you said for most of the game, However, the end of the 3rd quarter people were leaving and by the time the 4th was almost over, my section was a ghost town. Not all the improvements are lost on me, but maybe people are leaving early in a win because they are tired of all the ancillary bullshit being heaped upon them. You give me the Cotton Bowl environment in Austin and I'll buy a decades worth of season tickets today. Not everyone has to be entertained like a 5-14 year old. Austin is full of stuff like that and people are welcome to go enjoy those types of events instead of trying to make the football game about catering to the entire family. It doesn't need to be said because I'm preaching to the choir, but shit, Royal said it best about our uniforms, but it applies to the gameday experience as well. Don't candy this shit up, these are work clothes. I'm glad you had a nice experience and I'm glad that your family had a nice time. That still doesn't change the fact that people most likely leave early because the "experience" they are getting is tiresome and they'd rather do something else once the game is decided. I love The University of Texas, but knowing all the stuff I'm going to have to put up with inside the stadium makes my big TV and cool AC an attractive offer. Honestly, the guy below makes a great point...

    It's really not a middle ground as there aren't any ads. It's simply a fantastic and pristine in-game experience. Great / measured PA guy with non of the clown fest from Cole. Plenty of dead air allowing the bands to play and do their thing and for fans to simply soak in an unparalleled environment, without assault and battery on their senses. 

    Fucking A, homie. Favorite game of the year.

    The biggest variable that has changed the experience is in-stadium alcohol sales. People are staying because they can have a drink until the 4th quarter. Couple that with a dedicated student section and you’ll get lively games. Though most students left in the 4th quarter this game.

    Embedding spirit groups and allowing some organic elements to breathe is necessary to ensure a quality and unique experience that people cant get anywhere else.

    College football, in general, needs to get games down to 3 hours if it wants to thrive in the future. The shortterm commercial tv money is too tough to pass up.

    #1 complaint heard numerous times on Saturday... "Another stoppage? Damn, this is going to take forever." From both Texas and WV fans.

    How about we just play the games and let those greed mofos buy score ad space like soccer does and just play the damn game? Or run ads on the side while the game keeps rolling? Money hungry bitches.

  14. I was confident last year going into the game and very much so the way we started the game, but fuck any positive thoughts on this Texas team/staff. Show me, don't tell me, mofos. 🤘

    If we can somehow figure out a way for the D to get to the QB we should have a great day. 1 point or 100, it don't make a shit, just win baby. 🤘

  15. I went to the WV game and I'm glad we won, but the game "experience" is absolute trash. You can barely hear the band or you hear them twice because of the feedback/delay. I heard 2 Texas! Fight! chants and ZERO "Beat OU!". The amount of commercial stops was annoying but it's like they can't have any silence for fear that the crowd might actually enjoy the break in ad bombardment or shitty house music being blared over the speakers. I gladly pay the money to go to the Cotton Bowl each year, because it's like going to a real football game. 

    Hey, Bellmont: Feel free to have the outside of the stadium be a bastien for carnival rides, food and entertainment. But, for the love of God, please bring back Texas Football inside the stadium. We are there to watch the team play the GAME. Remember the reason people are there? A game is being played. Fuck your half baked cookies, your shitty choice in music, and fuck any piped in bullshit that drowns out the school band, you greedy, money-hungry bunch of dipshits. I can't wait to get to Dallas and experience the best game day experience in College Football.

    my view is there are 4 paths:

    lose and go 3-9 or better

    lose and go 7-5

    win and go 7-5

    win and go 8-4 or better

    parcells

    So, literally anything can happen, regardless of the outcome on Saturday in the Cotton Bowl. Cool, thanks.
