  1. You know who's from Mansfield that you've definitely thought about?
  2. I don't think the issue is the direction we ran the ball. The issue is running the exact same toss play we ran on a previous 3rd down earlier in the game but running it against a loaded box that gave the play zero chance of working pre snap. He was scared of Quinn losing the game and basically said as much about the 4rh quarter red zone play calling in the post game press conference. I might actually be fine with that. But he could have given Ewers an easy play action pass. McVay and the Rams did the same thing Sark did yesterday and it cost them the gave. Thankfully it didn't cost us one.
  3. Ford did a good job looking back and finding the receiver before his redzone pick. However, I feel like too often our linebackers disappear when they drop into coverage. Particularly against ISU.
  4. In other words, "I wasn't gonna let my scheme get Casey Cain open on that drive. I made sure to get the ball into the right hands." I'll take it.
  5. Watts loss was huge and it's pretty clear the young guys at corner aren't ready. I've seen us lose games like this for far too long for me to not be happy right now. 8-4 is probably the most likely scenario but I can see the team getting up for Oklahoma State and pulling something crazy off.
  6. Starting to think the QB slide should just be taken out of the game. It doesn't protect anyone; it only makes it more likely someone going full speed will destroy the back of your head against the turf. Either find some other way for the QB to give themselves up or just say get tackled like everyone else.
  7. Nevermind. The first one was complete but a bad check down short of the first down.
  8. Incomplete pass on 3rd down on the first drive. Incomplete pass on 3rd down on the third drive. Interception on 3rd down in the 3rd quarter. I'm picking nits here. Offense is amazing. Just saying on some obvious passing downs, there were some plays that weren't pretty.
  9. Sure Corby, the 2005 Texas team didnt out talent the Sooners. Even as he admits defeat, he tries to claim OU has been better every single year for 22 years.
  10. Just set a reminder on my phone to listen to RRS talk at 5:15.
  11. I will say when we got to 3rd and long and there was no threat of the run, we didn't look amazing against it.
  12. This is the most talented offense we've had since 2008. There are at least 5 future day 1 or day 2 draft picks starting right now. I think I saw that the offense is 1st in the country in yards per play when Ewers is in. So I do not give any shits about Iowa State holding Kansas schools below 20.
  13. I hate to compliment him, but Riley was an offensive genius and the best QB recruiter in the nation. It sucked going up against him, and we were at a disadvantage every year we faced him because of those two things. It's possible his talent prevented a decline that should have already started. But it's difficult to compare OU's collapse to other programs: Nebraska - incremental decline. They went from firing coaches that won national championships to firing coaches that won 9 games every year to firing coaches that sucked. Florida State - Old coach lost it. Then new coach who wins a title initiates the decline. Texas - Old coach lost it. New hires can't replace it. Miami - Coach who wins a championship also initiates the decline. Lost its national image to the point where the brand they're known for only exists in documentaries. USC - Begin to maybe fall off a little and coach bolts for NFL. USC is the closest one I can think of. And OU doesn't have the same advantages USC has to make their down period somewhat moderate.
  14. So basically they will tell their readers which ones are playing, but they won't report which ones aren't playing. Very smart. Impossible to crack that code.
  15. I feel welcome now that the cold pizza crowd is out. While we're on it, cold leftover steak quesadillas are pretty dang good too.

    I met Patterson at a TCU coaches clinic a few years ago. He made a joke about wishing he could just focus on X's and O's and wouldn't that be the dream to just coach defense. It was in the context of dealing with recruiting and all that comes with running a program. I'd imagine he's quite happy right now. Even being a DC somewhere would require him to go kiss up to 17 year old kids and their parents. Patterson is a pretty awkward dude. I'm sure he sees never having to do a home visit the way a college graduate sees never having to take a final exam again.
  17. Hutson gave up 2 sacks already. Jones already gave up a sack and looked rough on a few other pass plays. I'm actually less worried about Banks against Bama than I am the right side of the line. Banks looked solid although there were some run plays he looked a little lost and didn't touch anyone. The positives from game 1 (playmaking TE for the first time in forever, Overshown looking his best, Sorrell providing a rush, Banks, DBs looking pretty good) far outweigh the negatives. But the Angilau injury and Cam Williams not being ready to replace Jones are going to be huge against Bama.
  18. So now they get Ewers, Banks, and either Campbell or Hutson to see with the 1s today. Not an Anwar fan, but now that he's pointing out the same thing weeks later, I don't know how we can jump down his throat for it.
  19. The extra episode was fantastic. I was wondering how they would do the third book since it's just a collection of disparate fables, and doing a bonus episode is a smart way to do a couple of them. Also it seemed like the most frame-for-frame copy of the comics other than episode 6.
  20. The show is pretty damn faithful to the comics. Some scenes are word for word. Episode 6 in particular was one of the best adaptations I've seen. Sorry you don't like black people man.
  21. Halfway through the season. Really hoping this gets renewed because I'm enjoying seeing it come to life, and the best Sandman stories are in the later volumes.
  22. The original graphic novel had a transgender character. It also portrayed Desire as genderless. In one volume, Dream manifests as a black man who falls in love with a woman in ancient times. Characters appearances change all the time in the comics depending on the time period and location. The person who wrote the graphic novel was also one of the show runners. Also, one character was changed to a female because Netflix didn't have the rights to John Constantine. There is nothing at all to be angry about.
  23. I meant those specific players. And Chaisson and Okudah might be firsts but I don't think they're very good at football.
  24. I know a couple of them were 1st round picks, but what a terrible group of recruits.
