    Got my tickets $79.00 a piece. Texas side 450. So are any folks putting together a big tailgate?

    Where?  They aren't SRO.   Seems like all the seats I've seen have been priced over $100.

    How fucked is traffic gonna be? IH35 thru Temple is a shitshow. If I leave Georgetown by 6am, should I get there by 10am?

    This is just me but if I were in your shoes, i'd drive up the night before and sleep in the car, just to be on the safe side (ironic statement, I know).

    It's weird, but I feel less urgency to win this game than I did round 1, even though this one has bigger ramifications.  I think it's because we made it here and I didn't expect that, and because I feel confident that the trajectory of the program is basically set at this point.  I hope the players don't feel that way.

    Yeah, I hope they don't feel that way too...

    Tl; but I read every word and loved it. Especially the part at the end, about OU's star fading.

    To me, this game could set the stage for a Herman-Reily era in the rivalry. Will we constantly find ourselves second place to OU, or can Herman turn the tables on Riley? Obviously one game does not necessarily define an era, but in 10-15 years, we could all look back to this game and say, "that's where it all started." This is a momentum game and an era defining game. We have to win.

    We always need to beat our rival, but this particular game... and this particular quarterback of theirs... we just have to win. 

    Kyler Murray represents everything that our University and team fucking despise---he's aggy; he's a sooner; he handled his recruiting with us in a distasteful way; and he's an entitled, poor sport, bitch ass, prima donna who will not lay it on the line for his team.  He has quarterbacked our rival to a top 5 ranking and a potential playoff berth.  But we have the opportunity to shut all of that shit down on Saturday like Stonie Clark at the goal line.  We have to win.

    After last season, I thought there would never be another sooner quarterback that I would dislike more than Baker Mayfield, but here we are.  Baker was a douchenozzle turned to 11, but he was a hell of a team player who laid it on the line for his team every week, which I respected.  Kyler is a fucking mercenary, soldier of fortune, and nothing more.  His head is also more inflated than Dolly Parton's breasts.  The reason he couldn't bring himself to even remotely acknowledge Ehlinger's capable quarterback play is because, in Kyler's mind, Ehlinger is so far beneath him that he simply cannot deign to entertain a discussion that puts his name in the same sentence with another quarterback's.  Kyler must stand alone (even if just barely to 5 feet).

    The game on Saturday is just another stop on the road for Kyler and his team.  Kyler believes it is his entitled destiny to win a CFP title "just for funsies" before he heads off to MLB next year.  For our team, however, this game is basically our season. It's already been established as extremely likely that we are landing in the Sugar Bowl regardless of this game's outcome, but winning a Big 12 title is something we haven't done in nearly a decade, and winning it this year would exorcise a lot of demon monkeys that have been on our back since we lost Colt against Alabama.  I believe that this game simply means more to us than it means to them.  And it means a hell of a lot to them, considering what's on the line.  We have to win.

    Fuck Kyler Murray, fuck his team, and fuck his entitled destiny.  I wish him the best in baseball, but in football he needs to get the fuck off my field.  This is our time (and it's been a long fucking time).  Although we already beat his ass in October, Kyler, his team, and all their fans, are absolutely certain that the October outing was a fluke.  It was not.  They are relishing in their opportunity to prove that it was a fluke.  They will be disappointed.  This is the game that will officially mark the shifting of power in the Big 12 back into our favor.  OU's star is fading; after this season they will be without a quarterback and possibly even without a head coach.  With a win on Saturday, we can proudly and confidently utter the phrase that has been little more than a meme for the past several seasons.  You know the one.

    We have to win.  There just really is no other option.  See you in Arlington.

    I mean Devin White didn't play in the Under Armour game because he put his penis in a 14 year old. Didn't I say we weren't going to talk about his rapey tendencies?

    Was he 17 at the time?  (not that it matters or anything, just wondering how that kept him out of the UA game)

  7. So would there be a difference between buying on the app and on the website with regards to getting the tickets delivered sooner?

     

    Also, does anyone think the prices of the upper level seats will go down or will only the SRO seats be dropping to a lower price?

     The acoustics are terrible.

    They really are.  Whenever the bands play, it's just a mashed, loud echo and you can't really discern the sound all that well.

    Well I'll agree that college football has lost its way, but attempting to be more like the NFL isn't going to help, it just drives it further along an incorrect path.

    How are 14+ team conferences supposed to decide their champions, if not with a CCG?

    I'm fine with advocating reducing the size of conferences, but that's not realistic, and it's also not what he's saying.

    What he IS saying, is this bullshit:

    "And forget that we have to determine who won the conferences. There is only one (sort of) conference championship that is in doubt heading into “conference championship weekend.” One.

    Alabama won the SEC. Clemson won the ACC. Oklahoma won the Big 12. Washington won the Pac 12. There is no debate here. Check the records. It was settled on the field."

    The only one what makes sense for, is OU.  Alabama didn't play 5 of the 7 teams in the other division.  How on Earth could they be declared "conference champs" without at least playing the top team from the other division-- you know-- in a conference championship game.

    And similar is true for all of the other conferences not named the B12.  This proposal is just completely unrealistic,  and glosses over the important detail that in a large super-conference, you can't just declare a winner, you have to play for it.

     

    I for one would love to see CFB get to an NFL-like post-season tournament.  Putting every programs destiny in their own hands would just make the sport better and level the playing field.  It has much greater appeal than what we've had for the past century.

    That's dirty.  That's like going for a guys knees.  Not worth it even if it means not winning IMO.

    You mean, like what Kyler did against one of the Texas DB's in October?

    Surly is weird. We are three days away from the biggest game since maybe 2010 and the first page of the football board is littered with “tell me about a&m” and shit like that.

    It is the biggest game since 2009, unless by 2010 you are referring to the MNC game vs Alabama?

    Any tips for a Jerryworld first timer?  Parking, etc.  I'm driving up from Houston that morning.

    If you park about a mile away to the east, there are parking lots where you pay only $20-30 and they will shuttle you to the stadium.

    I don't think Pitt beats Clemson.... But the rest of it is on the table.  

    I think Ohio State will win, but it might be close.   I don't discount Northwestern pulling an upset.

    The sad fact remains the most overrated team in all this mess is Norte Dame who gets to sit back and watch everything unfold.  Those ass clowns should be made to join a conference if they want to dance.  No more loose alliances like they have with the ACC or whomever.  If everyone else has to win a conference and/or a conference championship game after the regular season is done, they shouldn't be exempt.  Regardless of record.

    or they can schedule a 13th game to be played during CCG week to give that 13th data point.

    Why does computer rankings seem to favor the SEC? Is it their non-conference scheduling and 8 conference games? Im looking at your EWP rankings, and the SEC has 8 teams in the top 14.

     

    Is it my own SEC biases?

     

     

    Because it's easier to pad the stats while playing cupcakes.
