  1. Right. It was ridiculous when they ranked us #1 with a new QB and 4 starting OL gone. It was just as ridiculous when they dropped us out of the Top 25 last week. I think this game showed that, but maybe dropping out of the rankings helped us, too.
  2. ... and this, folks, is why Texas-ou is the best rivalry game in the world.
  3. And not a bad 1st half imho.
  4. Kanu having a fucking ballgame.
  5. Oh, now the announcing crew wants to talk about missed calls by the refs.
  6. Yeah ... homeboy got Mateer'd. And the ou bench wanted a flag. Fuck those pussies. That was perfectly timed.
  7. Block in the back, right in front of the got damn ref.
  8. Seems like Arch likes this shit. Maybe all he needs is someone to throw grenades at him the rest of his life.
  9. Cracking some helmets out there.
  10. That throw on the run, down the right sideline for the first down just now ... oh my.
  11. Yeah he threw it soon enough to get the TD. That's all that fucking matters.
  12. Yeah US sponsors probably won't care too much for that.
  13. You won't ever find me saying SEC refs don't suck. I'm just saying imho they got that one call right. I'm the last guy that wants to see anyone concussed (ETA: Baker Mayfield notwithstanding), but a concussion =/= targeting.
  14. Gee whiz ... I think it's safe to say ou sucks is ready for the screen .
  15. Yeah I was glad to see no penalty on that one. That's the kind of play where we have been called for targeting numerous times, where the defender is already low and commited, and the runner lowers his head into him.
  16. Great movie. Loved the long, slow-developing '70s throwback car chase at the end. It reminded me so much of flicks like Vanishing Point (which was similarly anti-authoritarian/anti-establishment). In fact that road is pretty much a carbon copy of the hilly road in a portion of the chase in Vanishing Point.
  17. Announcement of Apple’s US F1 rights confirmation tipped for United States GP Apple is expected to secure the US Formula 1 rights in a deal worth a reported $140m per year with an announcement in Austin https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/announcement-of-apples-us-f1-rights-confirmation-tipped-for-united-states-gp/10766760/ Doesn't really affect us much, as we have AppleTV+, but not many people do, relatively speakling. This move seems to run counter to LM/FOM's stated desire to grow F1 viewership in the US. This will shrink it, pretty significantly.
  18. Yeah I remember this guy who did incredible things the second half of his rs soph year and his junior year. His rs freshman year and the first half of his rs soph year, he did some great things and some freshman/sophomore things. I rememeber some people on here saying some really smart things about what to do with him, like "We should move him to TE". IIRC he wore #10 on his back. Ya know, before the season started I said they were crazy to rank us #1 with a new qb, like they so often do. Preseason polls are stupid, and this year's was no exception. It's like they do it on purpose, so they can make hay off of the #1 team falling from the top of the hill (I stated that as a theory, but we all know it's 100% intentional). But my assessment didn't even take into account the losses we incurred on the OL. Putting us at #1 was literally insane ... just as insane as blaming our offensive woes on one guy when the entire offense has personnel issues and the play calls are being made by a guy who shouldn't be making them.
