    Yeah, I've seen both claims.  I have no idea what the actual rule is.

    Been asking this on a couple other forums. Can't find anything in the rule that answers it. Most believe he will serve the suspension in the Sugar Bowl. Some say the B12 game is not a regular season game and it goes on 1st game next year. IMO, especially since we appealed it, the penalty will be accessed in the Sugar Bowl.

  2. Had the pleasure of playing golf with him about 10 years or so ago. He shared the story of how he was gifted the license plate “Cowboy” from a gentleman that had passed.

    He truly cherished the story and the license plate. JJ had offered to purchase it many times he told—it wasn’t for sale. 

    Best wishes to his family and RIP

    Yes, also a fan of the 11am kickoff. Get in, get your beers and Fletchers. Get in the stadium, commence to yelling OU Sucks and making fun of the stupid turquoise Oklahoma state flag. 

    The game being on ABC has no bearing on the time this year. It might next year with the dedicated SEC game of the week spot or they may keep it at 11am since it can compete against the Big Noon game. Michigan/Ohio State is always 11am, regardless of network. National/regional time slots went out the window a long time ago.

    It looks like a damn blue tarp. Pretty cheap at Walmart and HD.

    It’s going to be an 11am kick.

    The 80's and 90's weren't as bad as this current run of mediocrity.  

    In 1983 we were a muffed punt away from a probable national title.  We won 5 conference championships in the 80's and 90's, more than twice the amount we've won since including our good years under Mack. Akers, McWilliams, and Mackovic all won at least 1 conference title.  We're now 12 seasons and 3 coaches removed from a conference championship.  Don't get me wrong, those years sucked overall -- but there was at least an occasional highlight mixed in with the bad.

    Losing really doesn't affect me as much as it used to.  The final years of Mack were rough after years of really high expectations and results, but by the last couple of years of Charlie Strong's tenure I became pretty numb and used to losing.  Winning big games like Georgia and OU in 2018 still feels amazing, but losing doesn't emotionally ruin my weekend the way it might have when I was younger.  When OSU scored the go ahead touchdown this weekend I just got up, shook my head, felt bad about it for about an hour, and moved on.  I don't understand how so many have the energy to spend the entire weekend melting down on this board after a loss. 

    What troubles me over the last 10+ years is we have been conditioned to the beatings and disappointments we have had. We have sucked—end of story, period. Each year we drink the Kool-aid to some degree and hope for the best. We are only disappointed and pissed at the end of it all (And the booze drinking begins before, after, and to kill the pain).

    To top it all off, it gives me the aggie feel of, we have been reduced to looking at the blowu game as the bench mark each year. We are Texas. We must regain our mindset of looking beyond that game. Yes I want to win it. Yes I expect to win it. We must strive higher than that game for our season. 

    We have just entered into a downward spiral that I look forward to spinning out of quickly.

    If Sark is not our man, then next man up and let’s fucking WIN............................

  5. I think part of the problem is the mindset of the kids. Blowing someone up on the tackle is cooler than the fundamental wrap up. I think they end up just throwing their bodies at opponent in hopes of knocking them down from the collision. I wish we would just get back to the fundamentals and wrap up. I was having Manny Diaz flash backs watching this piss poor tackling.

    The only thing that surprised me was how insanely stupid Sark was trotting Card out there time and time again. That whole definition of insanity bit. I knew we made another mediocre to bad hire with this guy I just didn't realize he was *THAT* stupid. 

    Total Agreement. You could see it easily in the First Quarter that Card was scared to death to make a mistake. Holding onto the ball, not taking a shot somewhere. On one of the other threads, someone made the comment that Sark does not like a running QB. With an OL this shitty, we can only hope and pray, whichever one we end up with at QB he can RUN.

    Can we make the stoops misery complete by destroying midget stoops receiver on the field next season?

    I'll hang up and listen.

     

    @THUJONE Can we get some paint of daddy stoops and midget stoops? Throwing uncle's drawing in would be a bonus.
