  1. Bobby Burton said on OTF that Babers was the Texas player that found the fake script and gave it to a Longhorn coach... 😂
  2. Yeah, Ryan Hall Y'all is a great channel... This started today just after 12:15pm EST. Over 10 hours of coverage...
  3. The blOU o-line has been banged up, but is on the mend and played better in their last game vs awwwbrrrnnn... bye week should allow blOU to be their best since Temple game. However, the team rebounded well against Auburn. They finally had their original starting five, thanks to Jake Taylor returning to man the right tackle spot. This let Tarquin return to left tackle and Sexton move back inside to left guard. The Sooners immediately saw better results. The line held up well in pass protection and had their best non-Temple game running the ball. A week after allowing 19 pressures, the line responded by allowing just five against Auburn, who entered the week leading the SEC in pressures. Three of those five were from Taylor, who didn't look 100% but could still play. Now the starting five are finally healthy and can actually start to build reps in together. Oklahoma gets a bye week this week to get healthier elsewhere and the line can take the week to rebuild their chemistry with each other after so many shuffling pieces. It won't transform Oklahoma into a top-flight offense, but just being able to afford continuity up front moving forward would be a huge boon for this offense. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/oklahoma-sooners-offensive-line-puts-together-best-performance-of-the-season-against-auburn/ar-AA1rDAif?ocid=BingNewsSerp
  4. Damn, I'm getting fired up... reposting: Video clip of fired up PK: 2:28 mark " STARTS UP FRONT STRIKE... SHED... TACKLE... EVERYBODY !!! " 🤘
  5. Currently 17 tornado warnings... DAMN
  6. Would be nice to get a great game from
  7. Nah, Michigan is terrible... gooners are better than the wolverines
  8. Our run defense is going to be tested Saturday -- MissSt provided the blueprint. Horns should be prepared for blOU to use their QB in their run offense quite a lot. The Texas defensive front has to play with more discipline... force blOU into 3rd down situations and make their QB attempt his passes from the pocket. Also Simmons has multiple plays on film where he's been too aggressive with his pass rush and getting way out of position-- this causes us to be much more vulnerable to outside runs. We can't afford to allow the blOU QB to escape our pass rush and bust off long runs this Saturday. Holmes is definitely vulnerable -- blOU should attack him deep down the sidelines and coach their WRs up on best ways to draw pass interference.
  9. The way surprises happen in this game, I won't be surprised to see Casey take a few snaps this Saturday. Also...
  10. With Ewers starting, Gunnar is likely gonna be important in sustaining drives for Texas offense on Saturday... Going into last year's Red River Rivalry game, Texas Longhorns tight end Gunnar Helm didn't know what his role would look like. Starting tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders was battling the injury bug and didn't know if he would be able to play. Helm embraced the challenges and had his season-high of 67 receiving yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Sooners. Now, a senior and known leader in the locker room, Helm expects and embraces the extra work. He topped his previous season high in receiving yards when he had 98 in the Longhorn's win over Michigan. Part of the star-studded Texas receiving core, he can sometimes get lost in the hype but knows the importance of his veteran role. One of the main areas that Helm brings experience is playing in the Red River Rivalry game. Last year, Helm's touchdown gave Texas the lead for the first time all day. Quarterback Quinn Ewers found Helm, who had been left wide open in the middle of the field with a clear path to the end zone. "It was fourth and one we were going into on their side of the stadium," Helm said. "And so, you know, obviously everyone expects a run play, downhill run play, and got fortunate enough that they busted their coverage and just kind of slipped through wide open and the rest is history." Though Texas was not able to hold onto its lead and ultimately lost the game on a late touchdown by the Sooners, Helm knows this team is different. Texas' receivers may be star-studded, but they lack experience in this game, something that Helm has gained through his four years at Texas. Helm knows that his fellow receivers have played in big games and know what comes with that, but the State Fair is a different beast. "One of the most challenging parts about this game, actually, is bringing along the young guys who haven't been a part of this," Helm said. "The transfers, obviously, they've played in big-time games as well. Isaiah Bond, coming from Alabama, playing in the Iron Bowl, playing against LSU, and these big games, these prime time games. Matt (Golden), coming from a big program like Houston, Big 12, beat a lot of great teams. I'd say the biggest challenges (are) the young guys who are new to college football, the guys that play a lot for us, so just keeping them reeled in, not letting them lash out and be emotional." In a game where emotions are at an all-time high, it is expected of the veteran players to keep the younger players on task. No matter the rankings, Oklahoma always brings its a-game, and it's the same for Texas. This year, Texas is ranked No. 1 going into this game for the first time since 1990. Helm and the rest of the Longhorns are seemingly up to the task of beating the Sooners, something is a challenge every year. The Red River Rivalry game will kick of on Saturday, Oct. 12 at 2:30 PM and be broadcasted on ABC.
  11. SIAP... Announcers for blOU game are Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit
  12. Interesting comments from United Cajun Navy VP on how the most experienced FEMA folks are not being used in the hurricane relief because they are deployed elsewhere -- said he couldn't discuss where they are to protect his source at FEMA. Disregard the Blackhawk headline -- an experienced Blackhawk pilot at end says he reviewed video and believes the Blackhawk pilot made a mistake...
  13. My grades are based on what I have seen vs what the PFF stats show. The lack of quality offensive teams that Texas has played in the first 5 games also causes discounting of their PFF stats. Thru 5 games, PFF defensive stats for this team seem like "Rat Poison". After Texas plays jawja we'll likely know more about how good PK's group is playing. Hopefully our defense continues to improve as this season moves along. 🤘
