    is dabo winning dirty?  riley?  smart?  whittingham?  all those guys are winning dirty.  okay.

    The short answer is that all of those coaches get away with things at their schools they 95% chance wouldn't get away with at Texas, either because Texas wouldn't allow it or because our neighbors would expose us in a New York minute.

    Things like:
    - legally gray area PEDs, because the NCAA testing program is a joke
    - letting boosters have 'access'
    - turning a blind eye to payments to player/recruit families
    - player/recruit families getting hooked up
    - turning a blind eye to player misconduct and off the field issues, including violent crimes and assaults
    - letting recruit's 'uncles' have a hand in the recruiting process.

    That's not an exhaustive list of things or schools or coaches. It's just shit we don't do that others do.

  2. I heard a whisper that this tryout was a part of the settlement.

    The NFL guaranteed a legit tryout, and from the looks of it they went above and beyond trying to prove a lack of bias - something that would hold up in court.
    25 teams sent reps to watch ONE MAN throw a ball. Found a good location, some coaches to help out, some good guys to throw to, a good film crew with promises to distribute the raw footage to every team. The NFL held up their end.

    All Kaepernick needed to do was show up and ball. But the night before he starts quibbling over details, ends of making some last minute changes, and goes to a different venue with his own dudes.

    And even then some NFL reps made it over to watch him, lol.

    At this point it should be clear Kaepernick isn't interested in playing football. Nike pays him more for less work anyway. This dude is washed up making money off of victimhood and activism. My bet is that even if he's offered a contract, he'll haggle every detail and make it all public and - even if he plays a few games - won't play an entire season anywhere at any level.

    What is it about OU when a team has them on their heels, said team turtles up and chokes? 

    What is it about Texas that makes a team play fearless with all the confidence in the world, and keeps playing that way in the game, no matter the circumstance? 

    It took me a lot of time to understand why teams and fanbases feel differently about Texas and OU, but I think I discovered part of the answer.

    They see OU as a team like them, only better. OU players are chippy, they talk smack, they do little things to piss you off (like lay on your QB for an extra few seconds when the clock is ticking in a 2 minute drill), they gloat, and they have loads of swagger. And they back all of that up with talent and good play. They win. They're like the Ohio State of the Big 12. Other guys may hate that they always win, but they respect them, and would happily imitate them.

    They see Texas as wealthy elitists. We play clean and we're good sports, but we look down our noses. If we win, well we were supposed to. If we lose, well we're Texas. I think a lot of fanbases think we get by with money more than anything else. And we're an academic powerhouse to boot. They're happy to beat us because they like to rub our noses in it. They don't respect us when we win, though. We're like Michigan to OU's Ohio State.

    Just my thoughts.

    The league must warn the other schools not to say anything about it, because otherwise the other coaching staffs really should be publicly calling attention to OU purposefully holding on offense and defense on every play.  

    This is like if the late 80s NBA teams just never mentioned anything about the Pistons fouling all the time and acted like it was normal.

    The fact that no one really complains (other than on message boards) is why it never gets called. 
    If the ref isn't looking, make him look. If he isn't calling it, stay in his shit until he does.

    But nobody seems to act like it's a big deal.

    I am genuinely curious to find out the last time Texas overcame a13 point deficit in the 4th quarter?

     

    I know its been at least 11 years because last week was the first time Texas overcame a 14 point deficit at any point in a game since 2008.

     

    so when was the last time we entered the third quarter down by 13+ and actually won the game???

     

    Maybe oklahoma state 2007?

    1969?
