  1. I see this here and on the OU boards, and I don't understand why people pay $20+ to park offsite instead of just paying $20 to park in the fair lots like mdmost described above. Gated, secured, easy access.
  2. Pay lots, $20.
  3. What game in recent history has Texas dominated but OU won other than 2021?
  4. You neg repped the clitoris doofus, get a grip
  5. What, specifically, does Wyoming do and how, specifically, does it affect the metrics?
  6. Most models have OU the slight underdog. And those models are used heavily in a multibillion dollar industry, it's pretty laughable that you think they are wholly unreliable. The biggest thing is of course that every team has a range of possible results, and so you get outlier outcomes when one team is at the far end of its range and the other is at the opposite end of theirs. Or individual fluky plays. But if OU and Texas could run this game a million times, the end result would be pretty close to 500k-500k. Tech-Wyoming pretty close to 800k-200k Tech.
  7. Wait I had it on good authority Wyoming got the piss beaten out of them. @Fumbles get in here! And predictive metrics are exactly about who is better and who would win going forward, not about evaluating resumes. I'm waiting for that explanation about how Wyoming's style of play confounds all the systems though.
  8. Yeah, man, that South Florida game was ugly as fuck, huh?
  9. When you said "For instance, Texas Tech is still ranked above Wyoming in almost every advanced metric by a good bit even though Wyoming beat them." If you agree Tech is better, then of course they should be higher in advanced metrics.
  10. Like you cherry picking Bama's ranking a month ago to argue out of your ass that Texas has the #1 SOS in the country? See you Saturday.
  11. We were discussing this last year over 7am Fair parking lot booze and gummies and decided it had to mean Gabriel was playing. If you could have assured me he wasn't taking snaps, I would have bet literally every penny of disposable income I had on Texas. Beville is legit the worst QB I've ever seen start for OU and I went there and attended every home game for the Schnelly and Blake years.
  12. So you have figured out a "style of play" loophole in advanced metrics that Sagarin, Connelly, Vegas, etc., are all blind to and unable to correct? Please describe exactly how Wyoming's style of play creates this conundrum. Does it bake in that their starting QB missed the Texas game? Also, if Tech and Wyoming played again, Tech would be favored again. Tech ran fairly bad to lose that game. I agree Wyoming isn't garbage, but if you play in the Cotton Bowl the way you did the first three quarters of that game, Texas will get their asses handed to them.
  13. Texas was -31 and won by 21. How many scores would you say 10 points is in football?
  14. Please, all Bean takes is a little flicking.
  15. Or Florida State. Or Ole Miss. Or LSU, South Carolina, Auburn, Tulsa, a couple dozen other teams. But this dude thinks 10-10 in the 4th and failing to cover by multiple scores is "beating the piss" out of someone so may be a lost cause.
  16. Please provide the source for "best schedule in football" because LOL no. One elite win for sure. Then Rice, Wyoming (with a backup QB), Kansas (with a backup QB), Baylor (with a backup QB).
  17. Wyoming is #80 in SP+. Cincy is 48, Iowa State 52, SMU 54, Tulsa 90, Arky State 109 (Texas is 3, OU is 9)
  18. ESPN's FPI definitely LOVES OU. They have OU at 2, with the #7 offense and #7 defense. That seems a bit optimistic for sure.
  19. Are you arguing that being tied 10-10 in the 4th quarter against a G5 team can ever be called "beating the piss" out of someone? You would call me out for saying OU "beat the piss" out of SMU, and SMU was never tied or in the lead after 0-0. Also that 4th quarter ended with Wyoming covering the spread by 10.5 points, another solid argument against that being a "piss beating."
  20. LOL this take is like when people say "this team can't cover the spread, they suck!" Oh, cool, that wasn't already baked in, they didn't know that team sucked when they set the line. Weren't you tied with Wyoming on your home field in the 4th quarter?
  21. This on the other hand is clearly true.
  22. Sure, would expect most/all here to expect Texas to win. But some of the wishcasting or belief that it is still 2018 on the defensive side of the ball, or that literally every metric, including tons that adjust for opponent strength are alllll incorrect and you guys have it figured out instead is hilarious. Texas has a really really good team this year, and very well may win, and possibly can win handily. But things like "OU can't stop the run" and "OU's WRs suck" are pretty objectively false.
  23. Not that our schedule is a vicious worldbeater obviously, but this is false. Cincinnati won at Pitt. Iowa State won against Oklahoma State.
  24. OU's WR blocking has also been really really good so far this season. Andrel Anthony is a playmaker, Nic Anderson is going to be a beast, Gibson is excellent now that he learned how to catch, and Stoops is really really reliable and tough. I think people will be surprised considerably if they think OU's WR are mid.
