Let’s put 2 wins together in this series for the first time since ‘08-‘09

Arch manning for me over taaffe, sure he missed some gimmes but that man battled his ass off under duress the entire game. Matter fact i came away from the game higher on arch manning than at any point this season

Shoulder shimmy shock. Stand clear of the pimp.

When the defense was the biggest disappointment of the day (OL second), it's hard to see four of five players from the D listed here. But I guess given all phases had trouble, it would be hard to fill these boxes.

Truly how I feel since Saturday.

To what extent Texas can pull the nose up and salvage the 2025 season, which is trending in the wrong direction after last Saturday’s 29-21 road loss to Florida, will depend on what the Longhorns do against No. 6 Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday (2:30 p.m., ABC). A win over the Sooners would position Steve Sarkisian’s squad for a strong finish to an October portion of the schedule played entirely away from Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. A loss would be the second in conference play for Texas (3-2, 0-1 SEC) and, with three opponents currently ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 left on the schedule other than Oklahoma (5-0, 1-0), it likely wouldn’t be the Longhorns’ last. Amid the preseason hype that engulfed the program, along with Brent Venables coming off his second losing season among the three in which he’s led the Sooners, Sarkisian’s fifth Texas-OU game seemed like an ideal time for the Longhorns to enjoy a long-overdue run of success against Oklahoma. Sarkisian’s 2-2 record against the Sooners includes two of the most lopsided Texas wins in the history of the series (a 49-0 rout in 2022 and last season’s 34-3 romp) and dropping a pair of last-second decisions that were there for the taking. Oklahoma’s current run of dominance over the Longhorns is one of the longest in the history of the series, with the Sooners winning 11 of the last 16, including 10 of 15 with the Golden Hat on the line. Beyond how a win over Oklahoma would boost Texas going into the second half of the regular season, changing their Red River fortunes is key to the Longhorns getting over the hump and closer to winning a national championship under Sarkisian. Since Darrell Royal took over the program in 1957, no Texas coach has won a national championship or led the Longhorns to a championship game without simultaneously rattling off a series of wins over the Sooners. A win on Saturday would be the program’s third over Oklahoma in four years, which would be the best stretch of success against the Sooners since Mack Brown’s teams won four of five meetings (2005-09). Brown’s run, which came on the heels of a five-game losing streak to Bob Stoops, included wins in 2005 and 2009, preceding a national championship victory over USC and a trip to the BCS title game against Alabama, respectively. While leading Texas to undefeated regular seasons in 1977 and 1983, Fred Akers won five of his first seven head-to-head meetings against Barry Switzer’s Oklahoma program. Royal, a Sooner standout for Bud Wilkinson, took over the Longhorns at a time when his mentor had won nine Red River Shootouts over 10 seasons (1948-57), including a victory in Royal’s Red River coaching debut. After the 1957 loss, however, Royal won 12 of the next 13 games against Oklahoma, including wins over the Sooners in each of his three national championship-winning seasons (1963, 1969 and 1970). Given the state of where Texas is coming off the humbling loss to the Gators, and considering the decade-plus of dominance the Sooners have enjoyed against the Longhorns, there would be no better time than Saturday to take a big step toward rectifying an Oklahoma problem that’s existed for far too long.

they mentioned Jared Goff returned after 12-days or something. I guess we will see what happens.

Thanks Bobby. Losses like this make people show up all over the board and channel that have otherwise been completely silent, so thanks to the OTF for dealing with it all

I thought this was a particularly good episode with Coach Shipley and Coach Erwin. Hope you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeePRECoHUg

I put arch in there for the toughness he showed and everything he did to keep that game even close.

I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but you gotta put Arch at least in the honorable mentions. Dude played his ass off. can you imagine the game if we had someone like Ewers back there with this oline??? No knock on ewers, but he wasn't able to run for his life like that.

Yes

Hey, Is Collin Simmons injured?

Taaffe can’t be on there either his whiffs on Wilson and Baugh for touchdowns. Not sure who would even be number 3.

Challenge accepted. And I usually lose a few cups haha

@General Grant We need to make this higher this year.

Link is working now. he is probably running late bc it hasnt started yet https://watch.longhornnetwork.com/live/289864

Best day of the year

I'm not sure how much credit I'd give Hill for so many tackles - most of the time I saw Baugh break the line, he dragged people several more yards. Unless there's a touchdown on every run, SOMEONE gets a tackle on each play. Maybe CJ saw better stops from him than I remember. I would have given Simmons No. 2 and Hill No. 3 or even Arch No. 3, but at least give Arch an honorable mention. (I'd drop Wingo from the list). Arch showed signs of growth and persevered despite the offensive line play. Wingo missed a wide open receiver and made an end zone catch that any good receiver should make. But, nothing matters other than how this team responds on Saturday.

An even weirder reminder on the absence of Brad Spence Saturday was that he was a star of the game against Sam Houston. Taafe’s INT kept us alive but I struggle with his game prior. Didn’t pick up either fumble, not completing two tackles that resulted in TDs. Rough game.

Did it get cancelled? It was showing a countdown to start on the LHN app and all of the sudden it said this event has ended.

Great pic with Mr. Wilson 🤘🏽
