  1. Some might say it would be soft to call in a rivalry game, but twice in the same drive Downs was talking shit getting in the face and bending down to make helmet contact with our player (Brooks, I think, then Ewers). Should have been taunting.
  2. Yes, and with play already stopped thus negating the hurry up, Sark should have been telling the offense during the stoppage to run the play clock down. In which case you’d think he would have noticed the incorrect timing by the officials, but it seems he didn’t.
  3. I hear what you’re saying, and the game at the Cotton Bowl has the more “magical” feel, but if you’re holding the Big 12 trophy at the end, that’s gonna matter more, regardless if the qualification for and staging that game itself is silly or superfluous. I attended as well and still remember OU fans flashing the number four at us as we filed out, indicating the number of consecutive conference titles they had won. Our earlier win in October is the win that felt hollow to me at that point.
  4. Holding Majors and Watts out this week, Sark will update when they know more by next Monday.
  5. Sark: Team is banged up, get healthy during off week Need to cause more turnovers, fix red zone offense, work on 2 minute defense, and improve the return game
  6. Sark is holding a presser right now
  7. Since the move to digital tickets, Gate A to get in the stadium has to be avoided. It’s painfully slow and feels unsafe, and absolutely miserable if it’s hot out. We were stuck there last year and almost missed kickoff. This year I went from the Car Show to Big Tex area to Gate B around 10:30 and made it to my seats (admittedly very close to Gate B), by 10:40ish. Can’t speak to the other “main gates”, D, G, and K, but strong recommend to use the in-between ones if you can.
  8. No offense Dallas fans, but I’m so glad not to also be a Cowboys fan
  9. Every section stands the whole game at Texas/OU. Is it really GA for students at this game? I know it is at home games but I figured they had assigned seats in this one. If so, what a clusterfuck.
  10. Finished watching the replay. Hard not to notice it somewhat in person, but wow did Jaylan Ford have a terrible game. We definitely could have used more clock on the FG drive but the tempo was also part of the drive’s success so hard to say it’s a black and white issue of coaching failure. Once we had first down at the 30 we should have been using the maximum amount of time possible though. I pray we get another chance at those guys.
  11. Unless we win a rematch, we’re now guaranteed not to win consecutive games against OU from 2009 until AT LEAST 2025. Considering the programs’ trajectories over that time, it’s not shocking, but fuck is it painful.
  12. From the DMN article, it’s my understanding that in addition to enlarging the concourses, access to the upper bowl sections without going through the lower concourse is part of the plans. I’ve always sat in the lower bowl but my friends in the upper deck were complaining about it a lot yesterday. Avoiding the main Gate A stadium entrance was a positive for us this year after waiting and sweating for at least 30 minutes to get in there last year. Much quicker entry through Gate B, about 25 minutes before kickoff.
  13. Not usually. Which is good because as I posted in another thread, we’ve now lost the game before the bye week for five straight seasons.
  14. Not really a great thread to put this in, but I believe this is the fifth consecutive season that we’ve lost the game going into the bye week. Because just what we all need is that extra week of bitching and wondering “what if”.
  15. Texas voter breakdown: https://collegepolltracker.com/football/team/texas-longhorns/2023 And vote distribution view: https://collegepolltracker.com/football/distribution/2023/week-7
  16. This was discussed on another thread but, as I think was also the case last year, the tunnel and scoreboard sections of OU fans on the UT side are apparently not a thing anymore.
  17. For those who didn’t see this abortion of game management
  18. And GT scores. Cristobal is going to get absolutely ROASTED. Rightfully so
  19. Miami ran the ball up 3 with 37 seconds left on 3rd down and GT with no timeouts. Miami fumbled.
  20. The fuck is Miami doing? Think the guy was down, but just take the knee you morons
  21. Fresno state recovered onside kick. Down 24-13 at Wyoming, 8:27 left on FOX. Warning: Tim Brando and Spencer Tillman on the call
  22. ISU in control vs TCU. 24-7
  23. Forget about the playoffs. If things worked out to get us back in that race, lovely. All I am concerned about is winning the Big 12, and preventing OU from winning it yet again. It’s still on the table but our margin for error just shrunk by a lot.
  24. I was feeling pretty nervous tonight but I just rewatched the highlights from last year’s game and it gave me a good boost of confidence. Barring a rash of turnovers, we got this.
  25. You’re right. It’s playing for the win (or at least lead) in regulation rather than playing for the tie and OT.
