  1. Looked like the hit was to some combination of his ribs and his non throwing shoulder. He played the rest of the series so it must have been something he thought would go away and obviously didn’t.

    Hopefully it’s just a contusion, as anything worse in either of those areas would likely be the sort of thing that would cause him to miss some time.

  2. The grousing over the lack of holds called stopped being discussion worthy a couple of years ago. We don’t get rung up on a bunch of holding calls either. This is just how the Big 12 calls it.

  3. His timing really couldn’t have been better. If he were born 15 years earlier he’d have struggled to find a spot where he could have any chance of surviving a season, much less thriving. But for today’s game? He’s basically the player every kid creates when they find that option in NBA2K. He just shouldn’t be able to do all those things at that size.

  4. Made the trek down to SA in Friday rush hour traffic and Wemby did not disappoint. Our seats were towards the end of the court where did the Euro step dunk and caught the sick lob from Sochan. Seeing him work in person is pretty incredible. He’s a human cheat code.

    We’ve got tickets to the season opener and that place is going to be electric.

    GSG!

    We've been so bad from the line for so long I just don't believe it.  I have battered wife syndrome.

    This is where I'm at with 3 point shooting as well. We've been worse at the line than we've been from deep, but I still struggle to think of the last team that really caused any of our opponents to guard us differently because we shot the ball so well.

    on third and 9, steve was playing for the same scenario as alabama.  remember, on the key third and long driving at the end, we ran brooks up the middle and it worked and we all called it a genius move...because it worked.  ou was ready for it and i think it was a mistake.

     

    This argument is a straw man. We were up 10 on Alabama at the time, who did not have a quick strike explosive Offense. In a world where we don't pick that first down up, the win probability for Texas was still well north of 90%.

    I enjoy a lot of his stuff, but like everyone who has some fan in them, he seems to let preconceived notions cloud his view at times.

    I don't agree at all with his assessment that Gabriel missed two easy 5 five yard outs to force punts in the second half. The one to Stoops on 4th down wasn't a great throw but the 3rd down to Stogner was going to be short of the sticks even if he caught it.

    Right. And we had been tackling so well all game, so it would for sure have come up 1-2 yards short. And OU is definitely not the type of team to go for it on 4th and short.....

  8. He said he decided on third and 9 after a sack to play for the FG. Not a play sooner. Saying he’s a turtle when he played for the lead with 1:17 and OU had burned all their time outs while the D had been on a monster roll the last 3-4 series stopping OU is not a bad chess move. It’s just not. 

    That’s revisionist history. The last three OU drives ended with:

    - A turnover on downs after Gabriel missed an easy pitch and catch to Stoops and threw it behind him. They had the perfect play, we defended poorly, and they just botched it. Total gift.

    - Missed FG after a 10 play 72 yard drive that started from their own 1 (right after we couldn’t get 1 yard in 4 tries)

    - An incomplete pass to Stogner on 3rd and 6 that Gabriel threw like a missile for some reason.

    OU stopped themselves all three drives, and it had nothing to do with our Defense being on any kind of “monster roll”. That’s just laughable.

  9. At the time, they were actually playing well enough to get him off the field. They were stuck at 27 after the first drive of the second half. 
    In total, the defense didn’t do well against him at all. 

    But they weren’t. The previous three OU drives came up empty due to execution issues. There was the easy pitch and catch on 4th and 2 that Gabriel blew by throwing it behind Stoops. Then there was a missed FG followed by a failed 3rd and 5 where OU had the TE but DG threw a missile that the Stogner couldn’t handle. The D was never disruptive and was simply keeping things in front of them well enough for OU to finally miss a few opportunities.

  10. Scipio is bang on and it’s his focus on looking at that situation through the lens of win probability that really resonates. If you pick up a first down there, win probability sky rockets. It could have swung things from 50/50 to 95%+. When one play can have that sort of impact, you have to make the right call. Sark didn’t.

  11. Quinn threw two picks in the 1Q and we never recovered from that. 
    This team could still win a national championship - I think they're that good - but we can absolutely upgrade at QB. 
    I think Arch is going to make a lot of you realize how limited we are with Quinn. 

    We never recovered? We had the lead with just over a minute left. We definitely recovered from the turnovers. Shit, maybe if Sark had put the ball in Quinn’s hands on 3rd and 9, we would have won the fucking game.

    Go take a walk or something man.
