    Source for this data? I'm 99% sure NFL teams do not disclose this level of detail about managing injuries.

    You're right. We can't let the Russians get a hold of this.

    2007 was pretty shitty. Barely beat Arkansas State at home, barely beat UCF on the road, got blown out by Ron Prince at DKR, lost to OU and A&M, and barely beat a Nebraska team that Kansas scored (almost) 80 on. 

    07 would be my vote

    NO ONE likes you in Texas, aggy. Baylor doesn't like you. SMU and TCU don't like you. Tech doesn't like you.

    Schools in OTHER states despise you. 

    Fortunately you are in a part of Texas that I can straight up avoid and I'd like to keep it that way.

    I don't know fuck about shoulder sprains, but I do know it's in Mensa's interest to force Gundy to plan for both QB's.  Unless one yall is blowing the trainer, we don't know shit and won't until game time.

    Pretty sure if they can prepare for Ehlinger they'll be prepared for Shane, Sun Tzu. 

    What does Shane even make you "plan" for? Having good field position the entire game?

    Lol you can't compare them. One plays in the Big 12, one plays in the SEC.
     
     
    For example, aggy will not play Kyler Murray this season.

    I wish we could play the QB from UK.

    We'd be up 21 points before our offense even touched the field

    aggy currently has a thread on texags talking about how their defense this year reminds them of the "Wrecking Crew" lol.

    2018

    Texas Defense: 5.34 yards per play allowed

    aggy defense: 5.88 yards per play allowed

    If they are the "Wrecking Crew", is our defense the second coming of the '85 Bears?

    Lol you can't compare them. One plays in the Big 12, one plays in the SEC.

     

     

    For example, aggy will not play Kyler Murray this season.

    I can’t recall the last Texas Longhorn Team that “championed” a LOSS, and I go back to the early ‘70s, as a fan of the Burnt Orange!

    No Top 5 OU, ranked Arkansas, and etc! The Sherill Era sucked while growing up, because they cheated while we sucked, but karma took care of that. During the down times, I never recall hearing that the Horns only lost to XYZ by ???? points!!!

    I'm fine with championing losses and moral victories WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE. I went to SMU and watched the Mustangs go 1-11 my first year on campus. Being at the homecoming game my senior year where we took undefeated UCF to the last minute at home brought me great joy (at least until I got arrested that night but that's a different story).

    It's not like there isn't a place for that in the world - there is. Sometimes effort should be applauded. Just not when you are expected to play at the standard Texas is.

    aggy's problem is that they expect to win, but when they don't, it's always glossed over and worked into some strange narrative that they're "rebuilding" or "better than their record" or "having a down year". 

    This phenomenon happens in perpetuity and has become known as the "aggy rollercoaster".

    They've taken it as far to use the shroud of history to bathe mediocre seasons in myth and legend, convincing people that a pretty good 3 loss aggy team (that couldn't beat Texas) in 1998 was somehow exemplar of college football at its finest and most poetic.

    If aggy accepted their status in the pecking order I'm sure they could crack open a cold one and enjoy a nice 9-4 season with a decent bowl win. But that will never be good enough for them - despite the fact that they will never be better than that.

    He makes hard hits look so damn easy.  He just stands there, lowers, his shoulders, and follows through.  He's going to hurt someone.  I'm just glad he has a Texas jersey on.

    Hes in the Zion Williamson "how old did you say he is?" tier of absurd athleticism.

    It makes sense considering BlowU would have a quality loss and win both against Texas. Ours would be a bad loss the Maryland with an interim coach. Ughhh Why did we lose to those bums?

    "What are they now, 1-6 with title implications on the line? Including 6 straight losses?

    I'll take a 3 year stretch of dogshit football to not be a school that consistently fails to elevate to a championship level despite zero excuses."

    That's what you said.  That certainly implies that being dogshit is better than losing MNC or playoff games. If that's not what you meant, learn to write.

    Yes - I will take a 3 year stretch of that to not be OU.

    How that is the same as saying

    we wouldn’t want to have spent the last 8 years winning 5 conference titles only to lose in a couple of CFP Semifinal matchups, and instead should be grateful for the .600 shit sandwich we’ve been served because we might get the opportunity to win those CFP Semifinals now

    It's like asking if you'd rather be the Bills or the Rams. I'll take being the Rams 10 times out of 10 because nothing will ever take that trophy away. Winning conference titles isn't especially cathartic unless it's a means to an end.

    I would trade the worst 3-year stretch - the Charlie Strong era - to go 1-6 in the most meaningful of bowl games. 

    Cool - no one is arguing against that.

    The point is that going forward OU does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Especially not with this defense.

    Sick strawman. No one said that dipshit.

    Idiotic and tired. This isn't the mid-'00s with 5 BCS losses. This decade, OU is 4-4 in bowl games, including 2 NY6 wins against the SEC in their backyard, and an OT loss in the playoffs.  And to say that you would rather be dogshit than lose in the playoffs/title game is embarassingly bad. You are saying from 1990-93, you'd rather be the New England Patriots who went 1-15, 6-10, 2-14, 5-11 than the Buffalo Bills, who lost 4 straight Super Bowls.

     

    Q U A L I T Y L O S S E S S

     

  14. How many times is OU going to get a pass to compete for the national title only to choke everything away.

     

    They are known chokers ever since Switzer left. They act like one of the elite college football programs yet never show up on the biggest stage. 

    What are they now, 1-6 with title implications on the line? Including 6 straight losses?

    I'll take a 3 year stretch of dogshit football to not be a school that consistently fails to elevate to a championship level despite zero excuses.

     

  15. "MSU is no pushover. I expect a grinder of a game with an SEC score. The Bulldogs are a good team, make no mistake. Ags will probably be slight dogs on the road."

    How many rankings points is fiinishing a game with an "SEC score" good for?

    They’ve learned to levitate the roller coaster. Losses are good now.

    It's like space. It's adirectional. From the outside it looks like it's going downhill, but from the inside who's to say that our collective experience of "down" isn't a fallacy?
