  1. The networks still don’t know when to kickoff this game next weekend. Looks like their decision is whether they want Missouri v Vandy mid-day or night
  2. Depends on who the 3rd loss is to, and absolutely must include the last thing the committee sees being a win over A&M. If 3rd loss occurs in SEC title game?……that path is a little more murky to me. 3rd loss to Miss St or Arkansas, cancel Christmas
  3. A word of caution about disappointment, expectations, and instant gratification, especially at the QB position: If we look at the post-Colt McCoy era, we’ve seen disappointment resulting from expecting immediate greatness from new starting QBs on several occasions. Garrett Gilbert was as blue-chip as they come, was abysmal taking the starting job after McCoy, and was booed out of town…….then he found success elsewhere and even lasted a few years in the league. Shane Beuchele followed a similar script later. There are other names I won’t go into depth on. So how should we all digest such data now when, once again, the expected savior turns out, at best, to be a project that needs a lot of growth? Show him the bench and the door after his first year as a starter? Or perhaps history shows we should take our lumps now (this season), and “hope” to reap some benefits later? “Trust the process” in the NIL transfer era at a place like Texas takes some discipline, I know, but maybe history says it might be the smarter long-term approach to the problem
  4. Last chance before schedule gets real again, but the team’s offensive performance for majority of the season so far gives me a little reason to fear cowbells so close to Halloween
  5. If this is baby steps, we’re fucked
  6. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/b3db31a9-4bd6-407d-969e-1fb803821065
  7. The stadium trying to get their fans into this retarded game has at least been a source of minor amusement
  8. Need to go see the Wizard for some heart, courage, & brains….
  9. Sark flirting w/ a Charlie Strong Kansas moment
  10. Yeah, no complaints about the D tonight
  11. Offense has 2 weeks to show at least medium improvement. Otherwise?…..queue the Jim Mora memes
  12. Adapt or die offense. The rest of this season is up to you
  13. Would like to see some commentary on some of the designs of the Wisner 2nd half runs. Watching only the live game, it seemed many were zone read handoffs w/ Wisner taking the initial handoff sideways, perhaps luring the Sooners aggressive pursuit through the middle of the line, before cutting forward for gains. Felt like a 2nd half adjustment from the staff that OU never properly adjusted to.
  14. It feels like UT didn’t perform well w/ the ultimate expectations early in the season, then performed better yesterday in The Cotton Bowl w/ no expectations. This will be my concern vs the Kentucky’s, Mississippi State’s, even Arkansas’s remaining on the schedule. OP says winning out and 10-2 is the formula to make the playoffs and he might be right. I will point out that last year a 3-loss Alabama w/ both strong wins and questionable losses was the first team out of last year’s playoff field. So even w/ a loss at Georgia, this team’s playoff route could be win at Vandy and get a headlining win vs A&M at home last game of the reg. Now a route of going 10-2, then playing for and losing the SEC championship?……now that 3-loss route feels a little more questionable to me in mid-October
  15. OU remaining schedule: @ South Carolina, Ole Miss, @ Tennessee, @ Bama, Missouri, LSU……
  16. Hand, and sun, and missed block in the back…..oh my
  17. Dicks for everyone Sooners…..
  18. Not going to criticize the long FG decision there. Offense has been questionable all year, FG makes it a 2-score game late in a defensive battle. Miss, back to the DEF
  19. Queue the Mateer hand excuses……
  20. Change field position here and be happy w/ a punt from midfield.
  21. Sideways handoff w/ a delayed cut several times on that scoring drive
  22. So far today, if it’s 3rd and long Sark’s play-called for the punt, and I’m not sure that’s the wrong strategy w/ the offense and our defense. Frustrating to watch though
  23. flags and shit…..O-line smh….
