  1. The 3-6-6 works well & has a few variations. The 1-7-7 would almost have to be a non-starter since ESPN will require 9 conference games if they're going to get anywhere close to the B1G TV deal when they renegotiate with UT/OU having joined. My list of permanent opponents is probably more skewed to recent rivalries that I enjoy watching but it does keep the biggest games on the books which is what you want for TV $$$ purposes. The biggest one I go back & forth on is the LSU/a&m game. Obviously this is the one game a&m will moan and groan about but if you give them OU & take the Ole miss game & give it to LSU that would restore one of the longer ones while simultaneously pissing a&m off. Ultimately, I think that game stays (they do have 60 meetings so it has some history) & OU/Ole Miss becomes a forced rivalry. Bama: Auburn, Tenn, LSU Arky: UT, a&m, Mizzou Auburn: Bama, UGA, MSU. UF: UGA, LSU, KU UGA: UF, Auburn, SC KU: Tenn, UF, MSU LSU: Bama, a&m, UF MSU: Ole Miss, Auburn, KU Mizzou: OU, Arky, SC Ole Miss: MSU, Vandy, OU OU: UT, Mizzou, Ole Miss SC: UGA, Vandy, Mizzou Tenn: UK, Bama, UF UT: OU, Arky, a&m a&m: UT, Arky, LSU Vandy: Tenn, SC, Ole Miss UT 2024: CSU, Michigan, UTSA, @UGA, Mizzou, @OU (dallas), BYE, @LSU, @Arky, MSU, @Vandy, @Auburn, a&m UT 2025: @OSU, San Jose St., UTEP, UF, @Ole Miss, arky, OU (dallas), BYE, Bama, @SC, UK, @Tennessee, @a&m UT 2026: TXST, OSU, UTSA, UGA, @Mizzou, @OU (dallas), BYE, LSU, @arky, Vandy, @MSU, Auburn, a&m (look at that home slate) UT 2027: Rice, @Michigan, UTEP, @UF, Ole Miss, arky, OU (dallas), BYE, @Bama, SC, @UK, Tennessee, @a&m As much as I just love welcoming & visiting TTU, ISU, KU, BU, TCU, OSU, WVU, & KSU I think maybe... just maybe... UGA, UF, LSU, Bama, Tenn, Ole Miss, Auburn, arky, & a&m will make up for those losses.
  2. that's how it's done. I have the weather app for actual weather.
  3. .... where's the hot weather girl to distract me from whatever those colors are supposed to be?
  4. No way they get the money they want from ESPN with only 8 conference games. If the SEC wants to stay in line with the money the B1G will be making from CBS/FOX/NBC they will be scheduling 9 or 10. Hopefully 9 as it allows for more marquee OOC games & it makes much more scheduling sense.
  5. This is the correct take. If any other fanbase thinks we gave a crap about them then that's a them problem & means our university must have gone above & beyond in terms of making them feel welcomed & wanted. You're welcome for the free ride, we brought you as far as we wanted & now it's time to get off our back & find someone else to give you a ride. Nothing against anyone personally affiliated with any of the schools, I have nothing against midwestern people as the few that I've met have been really nice & one of them was fairly attractive.
  6. It's played on the second Saturday of October. Saturdays in September don't count as a Saturday in October.
  7. I have to agree with OSU fans, at least on the plays in question in the 1st half. TCU subbed way too late & defensive staffs are more prepared to take advantage of that now. If you try to sub with <20 seconds left in the play clock you're taking a chance. I'm not a huge fan of guys barely jogging off the field in order to try and draw a penalty, you don't get the entire time to walk off the field just because the offense substituted, & that's probably Dykes argument & it paid off with the refs being a little more strict on in as the game went on. Hard to see exactly when the substitution happened on the play in the 4th quarter but from what you can see on the game broadcast it looked like the right call to let them snap it.
  8. Someone needs to crane kick this tangent in the face.
  9. UT 56 - 40 Everyone thinks OSU will sit back and let us run, I say they try to stop the run & double Worthy & make Quinn beat them with his other targets. Big days for Whitt, the TEs, & Worthy still gets loose a few times. We sling it all day. 40 REC & Quinn pops the 400 yard cherry w/ 416
  10. Some people would prefer to lose like we did vs Bama than win like we did vs ISU. I'll take 15 ugly wins a year and a NC over 9 pretty wins & 3 pretty losses & an Alamo Bowl appearance.
  11. He lost his mind vs. Baylor as well. Has he always been this angry or is he mad that his case for being hired at Nebraska is taking a hit this year?
  12. I've bowled a 232 sober. Same... if you add the 3 games together
  13. The playoff committee putting in a championship game loser is bad enough, but allowing one that didn't even make the CCG into the playoffs would be absurd if there are other conference champions with only 1 or 2 losses. Unfortunately they've already shown the precedence for doing just that.. TWICE. Given that idiocy, I'd prefer TN to lose to both Bama & UGA & if Bama could find a way to lose another game before the SEC championship so that they have 2 losses when UGA beats them, that would be nice.
  14. One of the good things about Sark is that he seems perfectly capable of getting the QB he needs to make his offense go & has an OL coach that has proven capable of getting the OL where it needs to be. When one of those falters the team will falter with it, but as long as those 2 units are strong we're going to be winning a lot of games because his offense is absolutely sick.
  15. ISU is so screwed. 20 point beatdown incoming.
  16. Clemson -3.5 & USC +3.5. That would be 2 of the losses we need to get back into the playoff picture.
  17. You said Sam was better at this point than Ewers & Colt so.. On "felt like" I meant in terms of how good that team was not how cathartic it was to beat them. Should have been clearer but I figured the "I love beating the shit out of OU" at the beginning would make that pretty obvious. I enjoyed watching every second of that beatdown, but that was far from even a mediocre OU team so acting like we just beat Bama, or won the Big 12, or something along those lines is a bit much. We exorcised the Red River demon, now the reckoning comes for ISU & then on to Stillwater.
  18. I love beating the ever-loving shit out of OU just as much as anyone, but let's not sit here & pretend that was some sort of halfway decent OU team. That team sucked. The coaches sucked, the players sucked, the game plans sucked, the execution of the sucky game plans sucked. This wasn't the beatdown turned nail-biter that 2018 was when we were completely dominating a pretty good OU team, or the Strong team that demoralized a good OU team. Those wins were especially sweet because you knew that OU was a good team. This felt more like beating BU in the late 90s where you just wanted to make sure you left the game healthy & get the backups some good reps in the 3rd & 4th quarters. I think more people will jump onboard in a couple of weeks when we go to Stillwater & beat a pretty good OSU team by 10+.
  19. Umm. That's the guy? I'll try to temper my criticism since it was just a Spring game & he's a TRFR, but that didn't look like a 5* savior QB by any stretch of the imagination. Not this year at least.
  20. What in the actual fuck are they talking about? No, seriously. On scoreboards & on TV it's usually "Texas". Sometimes you see a "TEX" or "Longhorns" but it's not very common. On official SEC releases they use the logos of the school & Tennessee has the "T" in prison jumpsuit orange that they use so using "UT" would be perfectly fine, but I'd imagine we'd go with the Longhorn as it's one of the most recognized logos in American sports right after the Cowboy Star & the Yankee "NY". So what are they talking about? Are they trying to police the way message boards refer to us? Was that what the SEC gave them in order to have a unanimous vote to allow us in the SEC? They couldn't keep us out, they can't keep us out of their division, they're not going to get a say on when/where we play them, but sure, go ahead & try to determine the usage of "UT" on the message boards. What would the SEC do without Farva policing the message boards?
  21. They had all week to get a game plan together for Beville/Booty/Evers & instead chose to run wildcat to keep the clock running all game. They didn't wait until the second half to give up, they came to the Cotton Bowl with white flag in hand. Maybe they hoped we'd screw up enough to keep it close & they could claim some sort of moral victory, but they didn't come & actually try to win. I don't know why OU fans would even want to try and justify or ignore what they saw in the Cotton Bowl, but it sounds a lot like what was said during the early days of the Strong tenure. Even those steaming piles of dogshit teams managed to show up for OU every year.
  22. significantly may be a strong word, but I agree it's better, & now we have an OC who will actually use that talent well.
