We butt fucked Hawkins up and down the field.  
 

oU can lose their rest of their games fuck them and the what ifs they wished for. I want the defense to make Hawkins quit football again

I hate that this is probably right. If he doesn't play, then the narrative is that they would have won with Mateer at QB. If he plays, they will spend the whole game talking about what a tough competitor he is for playing through an injury. If we win, it will be because Mateer wasn't 100%. If we lose, it will be that much worse. 

the narrative? who cares about the narrative? OU can spend all offseason puffing up their chest and playing the "what if" game for all I care.

was Alabama sad that they had to beat a Garret Gilbert-led Texas team in the NC? Or did they just celebrate the NC and say fuck the narrative?

While I fully believed we were going to beat a healthy OU team, the benefit of this is what it does inside Norman.

If Mateer is healthy and OU finishes 7-5, there is real heat on Venables and questions about the narrative Nagy has been building. With Mateer out, OU can go 7-5 and everyone will believe they were just one injury away. Venables will be back, Nagy will still be perceived to be a genius, and we get the continued mediocrity of Oklahoma football.

In terms of just football talk, a run-only QB behind the worst run blocking line in the Power 4 should be a nightmare for them.

You act like we should know who that is

Did you watch the game last year? The one where the QB couldn't pass and fumbled multiple times? He's that guy.

"The narrative" matters if we are a bubble team for the CFP. Which can happen if Arch has another crappy game against a good opponent. A 9-3 Texas that has quality wins may still have a shot to get in, but it's a lot harder if our best win is against an OU team that didn't have its QB.

I hope he's back in time for the Red River.

Fuck OU, but I want to beat them when they're at their best!

I see your point, but 49-0 was a HELL OF A TIME.

I'll buy it when he's in street clothes on the sideline.

Well this just tells me that Venables isn’t really in charge, otherwise he’d be playing. Nagy isn’t on the chopping block yet, so he can make the call.

Unless Aggie is playing very well coming into Thanksgiving with Texas victory, the hypothetical chance we had getting an at large bid with 2 SEC losses is gone.

While Oklahoma coach Brent Venables didn't provide a specific timetable for Mateer's return, sources told Thamel that the estimated timeline after surgery is expected to be about a month, as the surgery is considered straight-forward.

Fuck OU and all that. But this is why I would rather play a healthy team. It's not because I give a shit about Mateer or that portable methlab of a program. It's because it gives them and everyone else excuses to undervalue our win. 

Who is "they?" Winners write the narrative. Nobody outside of Norman will give a shit who played or didn't play on the losing side. Just like nobody outside of Austin gives a shit about or even remembers Colt's injury.

Oof, I'm lucky Wulah 1k was on UT winning out and only head to head taker for Dallas was $100.  That could have been a lot uglier.  RIP

Not all of us are doctors and lawyers.  I merely make Surly nursing money.

Chance he misses Red River has to be super low, right? Not like OU cares about the health of their players. 

He will miss actual game time with this. Its his throwing hand and the article is quoted as the best chance for long term recovery. This was not a band aid situation.

You admitted to not watching a Texas ou game. You have lost the privilege to make demands in the ou thread.

Holy shit, dude. 

We're Texas. 

Who gives a flying fuck about a Sooner or outsider narrative? Keep it together.

So was the program and fanbase being tested when we wandered the F'ing desert for a decade and a half with Fat Mack, Strong and Herman.  ;)
