  1. Yeah, I will always appreciate Lincoln Riley for- let’s face it; a very rational decision- getting the hell out of OKC when he got the chance.
  2. OSU is playing at Baylor, and the game is on streaming. Baylor has a tremendous number of games on streaming. The B12 has a Baylor, TCU and UH problem. Even in years where they have solid teams, fans don’t tune in. TT is just a little better, comparable to OSU, really. TCU and Baylor have played well over 100 games, for more than a century, and nobody (including their fans) really gives a shit. The league needs those teams, it thinks, for the recruiting territory. I wonder, in this new era, if they really do, if a better B12 would drop a couple of them.
  3. OSU, B12 CG loser last year, is playing Baylor (rival?) and the game is on streaming. I really see this as more of a Baylor problem (they have a ton of games on streaming) than a B12 problem.
  4. Another odd phenomena on the Sooner boards is their reaction to Deion Burks, a portal WR from Purdue. What we know: 1. Burkes was a solid starter at Purdue with good, not great production. 2. OU committed significant (to them) NIL towards signing him. 3. He shone in their pre season drills. 4. As a starter in the first few games, he was clearly their top receiver, but with less than 10 yards per reception. 5. he got hurt mid-season, with some soft tissue injury, and has not returned yet. Their fanbase has swung like a pendulum between “Burks is an all time offensive threat, the kind that makes an offense go” to “Burks is a malingerer that has quit on the team and is only hanging around for that sweet, sweet Okie NIL before getting drafted” I think, most likely, Burks is a good player that, with a healthy season of good production, could go late in the draft (5th to 7th). He ain’t CeeDee Lamb or even Marvin Mims. If he entered the draft after not playing the rest of the season with good production, he is on track for UFA. Is that wrong?
  5. It’s kind of telling that Mark Stoops can give a job to his halfwit brother, but Mike Gundy won’t hire his.
  6. There is also the continued fascination with Cale Gundy to rescue the program.
  7. Baylor and TT played an exciting game on Saturday afternoon. It attracted 316k viewers. That is less than Troy-S. Alabama. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/ Last weekend, the top four SEC games drew 27.23M all together. The top four B1G teams attracted 9.91M viewers. Top four ACC: 7.63M. Top four B12: 5.72M (thank you, Deion!). One of those B12 games started at 10:15 Friday night and another 10:30 Saturday night.
  8. So great
  9. I heard him chide (mostly) the officials and (partly) the Texas fans for overturning the bad call after the student protest. He has a point, but…remember the game situation. Texas had scored a TD and two point conversion after Smart’s failed onside kick. It was 23-8. Texas had just returned a pick to the Georgia nine. If the refs let the call stand, with Georgia snapping from midfield, and Texas goes on to lose, we’re all saying that the refs stole the game. And, we’d kind of be right.
  10. No. It was right after that that Mack had Chance Movk play a few series at QB against Missouri, with Vince at WR. Vince caught a long pass, Mocj played poorly, and that foolishness was shunted aside. The next week, at Lubbock, Lead Option was added to Zone Read, and “Let Vince Be Vince” carried the day. https://stats.texassports.com/custompages/sports/m-footbl/archive/stats/04/101604.htm
  11. The “reason” for the fuckery was Mao Grant Teaff could go out with a winning record and bowl game in his last season. Of course, Texas needed that win to go to a bowl game (the UNT win didn’t count towards the six wins necessary, them being D-1AA), too. Their gift to Grant Teaff fucked a squad of Longhorns over. Roger’s Redding was the referee. Check out the box score-Baylor didn’t give enough of a shit about Teaff to fill the stadium, but the refs had to take care of their friend. Edited: https://www.curriejefferson.com/obituaries/rogers-redding If you’re thinking of writing a letter to Redding, asking what he was doing, you’re out of luck
  12. That is some bullshit, that he knew Texas got screwed on calls but he thought is was ok because Texas got calls in the past. Fuck Grant Teaff and Fuck Baylor. I am glad Grant Teaff lived to see Texas leave Baylor in the past. The other referee fucking we got was the ‘99 bonfire game.
  13. That looks damning, but in 2024, Quinn has played 4 1/4 games, and three of them were against teams bringing a lot of heat all the time.
  14. I think we know that if ISU and BYU finish undefeated, before the CCG, ISU’s best win will be Iowa and BYU’s best win will be SMU.
  15. Isn’t that what everyone who tweets out something they want to take back says?
  16. If we’re doing hypotheticals,… What if Barron had returned the puck all the way for a TD? Think they would have overturned it (I don’t, but it would have been worth it to see Smart strike out).
  17. When Sark, after last year’s KSU game, said, “I don’t even know what PI is anymore”, in his weekly press conference, showing replays of KSU not being called (Kevin Mar crew), he got some PI calls the next week at TCU. Which really dumbfounded and pissed off Sonny Dykes.
  18. Checking in on Conference-Big 12. ISU (#10 AP, 16 Sagarin) and BYU (#11 AP, 18 Sagarin) are undefeated and not scheduled to play each other. There is one other ranked C-B12 team, KSU, and they are on ISU’s schedule. ISU’s best win is Iowa, a very mid B1G team. BYU’s best win is SMU (they trounced KSU earlier, too). Does anyone feel that, should any defeated ISU meet an undefeated BYU in the C-B12 CG, both teams should make the CFP? Why or why not?
  19. “The Big 12 Fan Base”? WTF? who the hell is that? A couple of guys in Utah, Al on his tractor in Iowa, a couple of Okies…?
  20. I am so ashamed of our students that I made a TexasOne donation. I am disappointed that I can’t designate it in honor of Kirby Smart.
  21. They’ll get over it, or they won’t.
  22. Worth it. They don’t correct the call without the delay.
  23. “Danced with your women.” Dude, do you not know that there are other things to do with them? Dude, we fuck your women.
  24. I heard Bob and Corby downplaying Texas- “they haven’t played a real offense yet this year”, quoting team rankings for opponent offenses. Hilarious that they can never say, “Wow, that semi-local team is having a terrific year. Might be special!” Texas hasn’t played a good offense yet. However, part of those poor rankings has to factor in that Texas took a gouge out of their stats. On average, CSU, Michigan, UTSA, UKM, MSU and OU scored 20 points less against Texas than they have for their other opponents. Against Michigan and OU (decent defenses), Texas scored an average of 14 points more than those two usually gave up (other opponents). I think Texas will acquit itself fine against Georgia. It’s hilarious that Bob and Corby are more interested in finding ways to doubt than they are in observing.
  25. The crazy thing is that Bowman may be the best (healthy) QB in the state of Oklahoma
