    Texas/OU is mostly civil because there's a lot of respect between the fanbases, as athletic programs we generally have the same best interests in mind, we have to put up with the same annoying bullshit (like aggy, tech, Nebraska etc.), we usually benefit when the other team is also good (there were years in the B12 where we were the only relevant team on each other's schedule) AND in cities like Dallas we all have to work and live with each other. There are also a lot of OU alums that are from Texas. And shit, our greatest coach ever was from Oklahoma. 

    I fucking despise OU's football team - but I generally like their fans that live in Texas okay because they just seem to get it. They are generally realistic about both their team and ours - unlike the goobers towards Houston - and they generally aren't insecure to the point where they act childish or nasty. I've had countless convos where it sort of goes "damn, you guys look good this season" "well - we'll see what happens in Dallas" "yep - good luck" etc. I remember after the 2016 game where they played like shit against another awful Strong team and had already dropped 2 games in noncon, everyone filing out was like "man we both kind of fucking suck". That OU team still won 10 games but you could tell they weren't super jazzed about beating a crappy Texas team by 5 points. I didn't have anyone shoving it in my face or anything like that.

    I'm sure folks here have anecdotal experiences about terrible OU fans but I'm sure some OU fans have experiences dealing with shithead Texas fans. 

    We're just sort of eternally tied to the hip.

    TX/OU has been mostly friendly since 09 because that was the end of top 10 battles in the series. Now you add the fact that you can still win the conference if you lose the game, and it’s weakened the significance a lot. I went to fucking jail in 2003 the Friday before the game. Early to mid 2000s games were pretty hostile between fan bases because the game meant so much. There were national title implications. If we get back to that point, the hostility will ramp up.

    Not sure where to post this, but here's a breakdown of my personal experience with their miserable fucking fans this past weekend. I've spoilered it for the TL;DR crowd.

      Hide contents

    I've been to Tuscaloosa for a game before. Our buddies hosted @SydneyCarton, myself and the guy that made the Greg Davis 3rd and 5 graphic for the Alabama/UF game in 2014. Our friends gave us Bama gear and we were good sports and wore it. I bought a grey hat with the crimson elephant logo on it, which I still have and think is pretty cool unto itself. We went to tailgates and bars and the fans were nice, if rowdy. So, I figured I knew what to expect. 

    This time around, I just went with my wife. We landed in Birmingham and drove in to town and stayed on Friday night. That evening, while on the wait at Chuck's Fish (which is excellent), we were greeted, and conversed with repeatedly, by well-meaning and very friendly Bama fans. High class folks with their greek children and their friends in tow, all wishing us well and telling us how much they "all like Steve so much". My wife said to me, "wow, these are great fans. they really are shockingly nice hosts."

    It was then that I told her she might a) be misreading what was happening and b) to just wait until tomorrow for a better picture. On a), my point was that these folks, who were certainly nice, were doing so because they simply expected to win and viewed us as a novelty. On b), she got to see everything for herself in sharp relief on Saturday, as did I. This time, wearing UT gear, the gameday fans treated us completely differently. 

    I've been to the RRS many times. Watched a game in the Rose Bowl versus USC. Been to Morgantown, College Station (many times), UH, JerryWorld, Fayetteville, the Cotton Bowl, and various other bowl match-ups. Measured against all of those groups, I don't know that I've ever encountered another group of fans on gameday that were a worse representation of the human species.

    The amount of hillbillies and frat and sorority dipshits screaming "horns down!" at the top of their lungs while putting the horns down sign one inch from your face was absurd. I didn't see any longhorns giving a shit other than when one of those rubes touched them with the gesture. "Fuck Texas!!!" "Kill yourself if you're from Texas!!" and other comments along the same lines are not comments I've had thrown in my face repeatedly alongside any other fanbase. These are bottom scraping pieces of human shit. 

    After the game, things only got worse. We walked back to our car alone and for the first time in my life as a fan, there were several moments in which I was legitimately concerned that we were about to get jumped. This while just walking and saying nothing. Frat guys, white trash buddies with beers in their hands telling my wife she should come hang out with Bama men, a mixed group of face-tatted likely ex-convicts telling me to get the fuck out of their state, and one guy from Sling Blade who tried to fight me while screaming "FUCK TEXAS!!!" at the top of his lungs and standing 6'5", 400 pounds. 

    That entire fanbase is a collection of entitled bitches who can't handle a loss. They're a pathetic group of dipshits best only visited in larger numbers coming and going than just one dude and one female. Note to self and others when we go back in 2025, 2026, or 2027. 

     

    Sounds a lot like Columbus in 05. No one with any sense left the ‘shoe in a group smaller than 20 people. Most of us waited for the stadium to clear out, joined the rest of our fans in the visitors section, and left as one massive group for safety. When my group got back to our hotel, a guy in an Ohio State sweatshirt comes in and removes his sweatshirt to reveal his Texas shirt underneath. Apparently he had driven to the game, and his Ohio State buddy was kind enough to literally give this guy the shirt off his back so no one would throw a brick through the windshield as the Texas fan tried to leave the parking lot. I saw old women accosted and urine thrown on passing fans from frat house front porches. Fuck that fan base in the ass.

    Is football fun again? Yes.  Yes, it is.  As a throwback that I hope folks will enjoy (and because I have some unexpected downtime), I wanted to put together a quick recap of some of the plays that I found noteworthy during the game.  This is mostly going to include an analysis of big plays, because they’re the ones you remember, they obviously matter, and it’s more fun than analyzing why we got three yards on inside zone instead of five.

     

    I unfortunately don’t expect that this is going to turn into an opportunity for me to be an all-the-time shitposter as in years’ past.  But hopefully if y’all enjoy this, I can do a few of these a year if there’s interest.

     

    Anyway, enough about me.  Let’s watch some football gifs.

     

    I’m going to break down four things in this post:

     

    (1) a comparison of the Xavier Worthy 44 yard TD pass with Bama’s 49 yard throw to Jermaine Burton.  Is it a tale of two slot-fade routes?

     

    (2) A look at Jahdae Barron’s interception, which may be a true Boom/Bust play on further review.

     

    (3) A look at Ethan Burke’s evolution against the zone read as the game went on.  Really interesting stuff for those who were watching scheme live.

     

    (4) The 39 yard bomb to AD Mitchell.

    I'll roll these out over the course of the day as I have time to get it out the door.

    I just can’t brielieve you didn’t work more cheese puns in. You Muenster been gone longer than I realized.

    Deion at A&M ? He'd be over there knocking down statues and 'traditions' week 1,  get an actual cheerleading squad and put those ROTC mother fuckers in the nose bleeds. 


    Its probably what they SHOULD do, but A&M can't handle that much flair. 

    My bet is he ends up in one of the Florida schools, right as his son is ready to graduate 

    UF may soon have an opening. They suck.

    Bold strategy considering he was 6-7 last season and if they repeat, he's gone:

     

    Plus, OU has two dudes (Littrell and Wells) with HC and OC experience currently acting as analysts. Either of those guys could take the reins and win 10 games with that dog shit schedule.

    Our 2005 OL was easily better although this year's unit has time to improve. And David Thomas was better than Sanders is right now. Sanders has too many lapses. Thomas is pretty underrated by Texas fans.

    This is fair. Honestly, I have no business comparing this team to anyone with only two games under their belts. Hell, Bama may turn out to be mediocre. I’ll retract all comparisons and revisit the subject at the end of the year.

    Don't worry, Georgia would trample Genghis Khan and his hordes. We are a hot story right now because of the win just like when we left Columbus. The media will be right back to fluffing Georgia soon enough, just like USC in 2005.

    It's actually kind of eerily similar as USC had back-to-back AP titles heading into that season. We are not 2005 good but there are a lot of parallels between the seasons. 

    I think we may be better across the lines of scrimmage than we were in 05. 23 LBs are definitely better. 23 DBs are not as good. Our QB is definitely not as good. 23 WRs and TE are better (I love Dave Thomas, but it’s true). 05 RBs were better with Charles and Ramonce. We just don’t have a super-human freak at QB, but the overall team is good and deep.

    Thuggish

    That's what they mean in that context and in the context of why he would never coach at Texas or Alabama.

    I guarandamntee you Deion would coach at Texas, Alabama, LSU, Florida, wherever the fuck if he wins big. Boosters/fans/colleges want to win--period. 

    “Thuggish” may be what Colorado dude meant, but the suggestion that only black people act that way offends me and is racist. Pigeon-holing one entire race into a negative description is the epitome of racism. 
     

    I’m not shooting the messenger. I was hoping Colorado dude would have the stones to say the quiet part out loud.

    Every political map and University of Texas demographic polls I’ve looked at has shown Austin and UT to be heavily blue, but some dude from Colorado has surrounded himself with racist relatives and coworkers so what do the stats know. 

    After reading enough of the Colorado dude’s posts, the conclusion I’m drawing is that HE is, in fact, the racist. And it only makes sense, considering all the racists with which he surrounds himself.

    Yes, I know about Charlie Strong.  Congrats on having one black head coach in your entire university's history!

    There's being physically black and there's being Prime and all that comes with that (you know, acting black).  I don't think any school in the south would tolerate Prime being who he is.  

    This is a pretty racist comment. What does “acting black” mean?

    I honestly think much of what we saw on Saturday was just a function of Rice throwing the kitchen sink at us while we stayed pretty vanilla. That comment in FCBs article about the Rice coaches throwing a bunch of NFL blitzes at them is enough for me to believe they will be better this week. Bama tends to play more straight up, and we will be able to solve some of the line issues on the inside with scheme.

    I heard it said on different outlets that Fried-rice practiced/gameplanned for 6-7 MONTHS for last Saturday's game.  Lulz.

    It may have been posted earlier on the thread - I am just now checking in and have only read the last two pages - but I highly doubt we watched any Rice film last week. We looked unprepared in the first half. Then we made adjustments at halftime, got an insurmountable lead, and called off the dogs. I’m sure we’ve been preparing for Alabama for three weeks.

    Some of the guys like @Fud or @Burt Macklin or myriad other guys who really dig into scheme can say otherwise, but I've always thought that Steele's rep is to be blitz heavy. He isn't known for getting really exotic or creative, but he likes to bring pressure with more than just a front 3 or 4. I can't say I saw anything blitz heavy against MTSU, but that wasn't necessary and I was on my third Manhattan by that game's second quarter.

    I’m sure Bama/Steele were being just as cagey and vanilla as we were last week. Neither team put anything on film that wasn’t absolutely necessary and intentional.

    This is the first time I am seeing this thread, but my picks still count damnit. 

    1. Michigan - obvi

    2. Georgia - obvi

    3. Washington - Penix is the real deal, and they have a semblance of a defense.

    4. Florida State - I am on the fence between FSU and Texas, but FSU already has a top 5 win with an easy schedule moving forward.
