As much as I'd like to pile on, give credit where credit is due. Eyeball test puts this at around 60 degrees.- 2

You watched that giant goober flounder around in the booth for several minutes like an upright beached whale and that was your takeaway? Did he even answer a single question without leading with, "Yeah . . .," followed by boilerplate clichés? His profound recruiting insight, delivered in monotone: "We will recruit players in Texas; we will recruit players outside of Texas." He then capped off that painfully colorless commentary with kudos to Elijah Robinson for "holding it together during some very difficult times" and a recap of his inspirational introductory message to the team which basically consisted of, "Let's go be what we should be that we haven't been"? That's the guy you thought did well in the booth and didn't sound like an Ag?

Little did we know, this poll needed an option for "12+ wins (Texas misses the CFP)."

15% of the run time was pregame or it would have been just over a minute and a half.

I understand y’alls fixation on this topic, but Texas was not flagged for holding either. And if you don’t think those lineman were holding on for dear life at times, you’re crazy.
More egregious than the lack of holding calls on OU in this game were the no-calls when Worthy was face tackled in the air before the ball arrived and tackled by the facemask at the goal line preventing a TD (among other blatant facemask infractions on OU that went uncalled throughout the game). There were other missed calls, but those are game-changers, especially when they are only being called one way.

early downs are a HUGE opportunity vs this OU offense. the red boxes are their SOS per FEI. OU has not been efficient in early downs. the teams they are being grouped with offensively in FEI (Washington, USC, Oregon, Michigan, UGA, Tenn) all have played schedules that are near to worse than OUs and look where those teams currently sit in this early down efficiency stat - Washington at 1, Oregon at 4, USC at 5, Tenn at 27, Michigan at 34, UGA at 37 (with a new QB!) then there is OU at 42. they should be WAY higher based on their SOS so far.
Keep in mind that group and the SOS they have played, going to do some comparison as we go through these stats.
their defense looks good on the same measure - but again they absolutely should because they have played a poor schedule lol
the Texas DL has the opportunity to win the game, OU is NOT good running the ball (99th in yards before contact on designed rushes, for comparison Bama is 107th, Rice is 133, Kansas is 38th , Baylor is 74th - Texas is 46th avg like half a yard more than OU per play) - again this is on a bad schedule. Oregon is #6, 2 other teams with baaaaaaaaad schedules in AF and Maryland are in the top 10. Tenn is #11. USC is 23. Michigan is 45.
ECKEL is a stat that looks at quality drives (big play TD or first down inside opponents 40 yard line) - Texas has the 6th most "game control" (68.9%), despite playing a much better schedule than OU (12th at 66%) - but again Michigan, Penn St, Oregon, Kansas State all rank much higher than OU on these stats showing they are more efficient/
Points per ECKEL looks at finishing Drives by the defense - Texas is #1 here. look the Texas defense is really, really, really fucking good. OU is #3.
this is all to say: OU should be better than they are statistically, especially because they have played Gabriel a lot in some of these blowouts (why is your injury prone QB playing when the score is 45-17 vs Tulsa? why is he playing in the 2nd half when you are up 47-20 vs Iowa State? he literally played every drive until the last one vs ISU with <6 min in the game) and especially when compared to some of the teams who have played comparable trash schedules.
going into some more stats, ESPN's FPI has a measure called game control rank (Reflects chance that an average Top 25 team would control games from start to end the way this team did, given the schedule.)
look at the top 5 and their current SOS vs Texas:
AVGWP is Team's average in-game win probability rank adjusted for chance that an average FBS team would control games from start to end the way this team did, given the schedule. OU is #6 there, but all of the top 10 in that measure have played TRASH schedules and basically they should win vs those bad teams. Texas is #13 in that measure despite playing FPI's #16 schedule so far. the only other team in the top 30 of AVGWP who also has played a schedule even in the top 50 is ND at 10, A&M at 40 and tOSU at 50.
folks, Texas is good.
fuck OU.
Texas by a million.
Heck of a post. Bravo. Would read again.

You missed the news. This would be a death sentence for Texas football.

Interesting question. Decided to go back and do a little research. This would be my order of liking the one-and-dones:
- Kevin Durant – 25.8 PTS, 11.1 TRB, 1.3 AST, 1.9 BLK – National PoY
- Sir’Jabari Rice – 13.0 PTS, 3.5 TRB, 2.0 AST, 86.3 FT% – Big 12 6MoY (Made Elite Eight)
- Mo Bamba – 12.9 PTS, 10.5 TRB, 3.7 BLK – All-Big 12 2nd Team, Big 12 All Defense, UT Blocks Record, Hit rap song (Lost 1st Round)
- Tristan Thompson – 13.1 PTS, 7.8 TRB, 2.4 BLK – All-Big 12 2nd Team, Big 12 All Defense, Big 12 RoY (Lost 2nd Round to Arizona)
- Myles Turner – 10.1 PTS, 6.5 TRB, 2.6 BLK – All-Big 12 3rd Team, Big 12 All Defense, Big 12 RoY (Lost 1st Round)
- Jarrett Allen – 13.4 PTS, 8.4 TRB, 1.5 BLK – Big-12 All-Freshman (No NCAA Tourney)
- Jaxson Hayes – 10.0 PTS, 5.0 TRB, 2.2 BLK – All-Big 12 2nd Team, Big 12 All Defense, Big 12 RoY (Won NIT)
- Corey Joseph – 10.4 PTS, 3.0 AST, 1.0 STL – Big-12 All-Freshman (Lost 2nd Round to Arizona)
- Ioannis Papapetrou – 8.3 PTS, 4.4 TRB, 1.2 AST – (Lost 1st Round of CBI)
- Greg Brown – 9.3 PTS, 6.2 TRB, 1.2 3PT – Big-12 All-Freshman (Lost 1st Round to ACU)
Jabari Rice and Greg Brown are 1a and 1b for me. KD might crack the next tier. [/CTC2]

Um, his wrist injury lol.
Ya think? A handful of posters a few pages back were chalking it up to maturity issues and had Campbell penciled in the portal already. The well-known ability of this board to create a narrative out of absolutely nothing remains breathtaking, but not more so than the proclivity of certain troglodytes infesting these parts for responding to posts while missing the point entirely.

That may be true, but why is he really missing the spring game?

I hadn't opened this up since Tuesday until right now and it's the same back and forth bullshit it was then. How do people keep hashing the same shit over and over?
An investigation here is going to take a lot of time. University has to be sure it's on proper legal grounds for a firing with cause that won't be seriously contest in court.
This is also a successful coach who has the team in the number 2 money sport in college athletics primed for big things to come. It's a mother fucking cold hard reality of life that the more you can offer the more slack you will get. That's just how it is and how it will always be. The University doesn't want to part from Chris Beard. They will give every chance to not have to do so.
Might as well shut this thread down and wait for something to happen, which if the "he said/she said" nature of this type of situation shows no clear evidence of who's telling the truth it could take months.
The last ~40 pages have largely consisted of people posting some variation of exactly what you just posted. You haven't added a single new insight or any new information, just one more post in this thread, which is...the very thing you are complaining about. Well done.

I showed up to that Rose Bowl early in the morning with $1,000 in my pocket for one ticket, walked around the grounds for hours, asked every bus load of passengers that disembarked, and found not one ticket for sale at any price the entire day. Still have great memories of watching that game on your big TV. We might not have been inside the stadium, but we could hear and feel the roar of the crowd with every play. On 4th and 5, it felt like we had seats on the goal line and when VY scored, everyone was hugging each other in jubilation. Truly an unforgettable experience. Cheers.
