    So where we at?  5-1 beating 3 ranked teams including OU, no 9 ranked and we’re 50/50 whether Tom gets year 3 because scenarios exist where we could have lost some of those games?

    No. He's climbing out of the hole he dug himself and his staff after going 0-2 to Maryland with a frustrated fanbase tired of losing. I, and perhaps a lot of fans, are starting to feel better after we lost to Maryland and squeaked it against Tulsa. I'm happy we beat ousux. Not entirely happy how we won in the end. USC is not very good. TCU got beat up on by a top ranked buckeye squad. We nearly coughed it up against ousux who had one of the worst defensive performances in recent memory. Texas has needed to learn how to finish and win for the past decade (let alone win). And we did. For me, complaining about 1 4th quarter after beating a top 10 OU team is better than where we've been by a lot. But there is room for criticism.

    Play calling in the 4th was an abomination. Play calling on 3rd downs was atrocious. We could/should have beat OU by 4-5 TDs.

     

    passing on 3rd and 2 is fucking hilarious. Shovel pass even worse.

     

    we won, but goddamn our offense is a mess. We need a real fucking play caller. And herman needs to pull his head out his ass and quit getting cute. We almost had the worst collapse in school history because herman went full pussy

    Aw man... we were doing so well and had discourse...

    I think this is the correct thread to make these criticisms. Losing today would have been fucking humiliating. I think the second OU scored so quick to cut it to 14, Herman should have scrapped that conservative mentality  and we right back to work on offense. OU today had no answer at all. Their defense is soft as fuck. 

    On the flip side, while we're parsing this in this unfortunate thread after a win against OUsux... it's a big decision to allow your sophomore QB who has made some soul crushing TOs, albeit as a freshman, to keep slinging the football around. When the context is we're up by that much against a ranked OU squad. Verge of the biggest win in almost a decade. Defense is playing well. OU looks gassed. And those TOs are in the back of your mind. I can see where the decision to go conservative on offense would manifest. However, we make conservative football look like some form of under water BB stacking competition. 

     

    What bothers me is that we were fucking rolling. Why not roll with it till the clock hits 0s. IF your sophomore QB manages to cough a TO like he did as a freshman, then you deal with it. At the very least the rest of the offense is still feeding off the energy from the last 3 quarters. Snipping the balls, literally and figuratively,  off the offense in the 4th nearly cost us. I hope we learn from that.

    Yep. We were headed to give OU their own Black Saturday. We were up 45-24 and got the ball. Then our offense aborts what has been working and went to try and run clock. It almost spelled disaster. What we did on that last drive to win the game, we could have did on every single one of those drives where we went into a shell. I so wanted to put 60 on those meth Okie fucks. Either way, we got the win!

    That's what we were doing the whole fucking game. Why does it take the threat of a potential mythological meltdown for us to realize that playing that way the whole fucking game is what we did when we were dominating and what we need to be doing if we want to dominate again. 

    Again, I really, really, really don't want to poopoo this win. I'm just tired of throwing away my boxers after games like this.

    We were doing fine until the penalties in the 4th, running it down their throat. I only had a problem with a couple of the play calls when we were trying to milk the clock. Last year we lose this game, guys were stepping up and made plays. 

    We whipped their ass for the majority of the game, really wish we could have blown them out by 20+. The last time we blew a Dirt Burglar team out from wire to wire was 2005 but fuck it we won (and Murray cried) I'll take it, next game up. 

    Penalty wise, t's clear OU told their corner to rape CJ and LJH to make them call the penalty. We should have gone after that more, result notwithstanding. That first jump ball to Collin I yelled do that all day. Having those two out there is one thing but simply throwing to them opens up the running game both for Sam and the RBs.

    But why change up? That killed our momentum and damn near cost us the game. Just keep being aggressive. I disagree. You beat OU by doing what we did. Score and score often. We scored on 7 of our first 8 possessions. Doesn't matter what Murray does if we keep scoring on our side. We went into a shell and it went to shit. 

    I was saying the whole game that we weren't going to keep them out of the endzone, we just have to keep scoring. Low and behold we were doing both. 4th quarter rolls around and the offense was unrecognizable, defense starts getting tired, OU starts clawing back at us. We started to play not to lose rather than playing to win. That's an ingredient is this recipe that has been Texas football. It was like watching us go back out on O and the whole dynamic was, "Now what?". It's OU for fuck's sake. Break their fucking neck when we have the boot heel right there.

    Why? We were ass raping them all game. Why switch up? Go for the kill. How many Black Saturdays did Stoops hand us? He never got conservative. When will coaches learn that if you play conservative, it can lead to this? We took the air out of the offense and fell apart. OU had zero answer for our offense.

    When I sober up yeah that'll be my problem. How many times have we seen OU be doing that to us and it ends with them north of 60 while we can't cross the 50. Step on their throat. 4th quarter came around and we realized what was happening and then opened the door for what should have been a wire to wire ass whooping.

  8. While we almost gave that one away I refuse to complain about that because this game is what it is. I had a feeling it would be a classic. I (and we) is (are) a temperamental fanbase. It's what have you done for me lately. Post-Maryland... yeah. But we just beat OU. I'll pop my crow in the microwave, replay the game, circle jerk with the rest of you heathens and see where this takes us. 

     

    Hook 'em.

    A six page thread on Texas vs. TCU and not one picture of the TCU pom squad or dance team?  You guys are slipping.
