  1. Thumb dislocation = likely not back before playoffs IF it needs surgery. The talk about could have come back tends to make me think that surgery is not expected. Some finger (and thumb) dislocations are stable once popped back into place. Even those, however, are going to be associated with some degree of tearing or peeling of ligaments and some swelling while they heal. I can't remember treating one of these in a skill player, if I've done it for an athlete at all. Wheel of fortune IMO.
  2. Like most years, there really are only about 7 true top 10 teams by this stage in the season.
  3. My understanding is that there are two warnings given to a home team for throwing items onto the field before the 15-yard assessments begin. Tech has decided to keep one warning as cushion and willingly take one warning on the opening kick.
  4. Texas often has a talent advantage and often doesn't win. How many major-conference teams get excited about knocking off Houston or OSU week-to-week? It is a game of emotion in which better teams or those with bigger names often inspire greater emotion. Texas has still managed to eke out, I think, 14 outright conference championships over the last 60 years. And a few national championships. Remind me how many Tech has by comparison. My recollection is zero of both, but I could be counting wrong.
  5. I think there were a lot of people that tuned in for some Horn misery but stuck around to watch OU exposed as Schadenfrauds.
  6. You are right sorry 12 more. I was leaving those off.
  7. I put this on the Gibson recruiting thread, but I'll cross-post. Gibson has a 5/105 career fumble to carry ratio. If Wis fumbled his next 14 carries, his would still be more favorable. Gibson is too great a fumble risk IMO. EDIT I WAS WRONG it is 12 more. Thanks Satya.
  8. By way of comparison, Wisner has 0 fumbles on 284 carries. EDIT if he dropped the ball the next 14 times he touched it, that would still leave him a better average. EDIT I WAS WRONG ON NUMBERS it is 12 more times. Thanks Satya.
  9. Gibson had 5 fumbles on 105 career carries. I wish him well, but he did not need to be trusted any more with the ball.
  10. Took my youngest son for his first OU game. Won't write a novel, but (1) he had the time of his life, and (2) we saw a crazy man lead TEXAS FIGHT standing on the table in the food court a couple of tables down. Good times.
  11. 1. HOOK'EM -- that win felt -- and feels -- fantastic! 2. Props to Mateer for refusing to blame his thumb. My understanding is that he was literally bleeding from his surgical site before the half. How much was he affected or set back-- I don't know, but I doubt the medical guy who cleared him to play less than 3 weeks after thumb fracture surgery went to bed proud last night. 3. Our defense was great in many ways. Just a performance for the ages. 4. Sark has not always impressed me as a Q3 coach. We won the second half 20-0. He had this team mentally tough enough to be ready to play that second half, and he was himself ready to make the right in-game calls. 5. I have hope.
  12. I thought she was now campus trapped in a box under 6 feet of aggy dirt, facing the doggie scoreboard.
