Excited for OU to roll out that stupid wagon filled with one dollar bills

I'm very excited to say I'm bringing my eldest daughter all the way from Brisbane, Australia, to the Red River Shootout this year. It's my first time attending the RRS and my daughter's first Texas game. Only one hitch in my giddyup: I don't have tickets. If anyone has a contact or has some advice on tickets, it would be greatly appreciated. I was just about to pull the trigger on two tickets from Vivid Seats, but saw some horror story reviews on tickets going to the wrong people, etc. I can't afford to come all that way and get duped at the last hour. We have a reasonable budget, but we're not looking for 50yd line (unless someone is feeling very generous). We just want to be in the building to experience the game. Any / all help appreciated! Also, I don't normally play this card, but I'm a US Air Force vet, so if that helps with acquiring tickets in any way, I'm not above saying thank you.

Lol Dillion Gabriel is stinking it up in Cleveland

I still like this kid at linebacker and I think he's going to fill the role that Trey Moore will have this year- a hybrid player that attacks from different parts of the field while still being able to drop back into coverage.

😂 Oklahoma getting a good one

Chris Gilbert for me.

Financially for a college and program … a true unicorn!!!

Anything here?

Obviously it’s BJ Foster. Guy never quit on his team.🫤

Are they good?

Gotta roll with Jamaal!!

Me too.

Hold on. Are there 2 people in here from Columbia? I mean Bogota, Texas. That is whack.

Sadly, I don’t see Wichita Falls on here. I would have bought you dinner and drinks.

thought this thread had something to do with a green object seen on the court

BK killed a kid

Absolutely!

Chris Gilbert along with Ted Koy, #24, were the original HBs along with FB Worster when DKR introduced the Wishbone in '68. Gilbert's signature move was to face backwards after contact and push with his legs due to his small size. 🤘🏼

As we all know, the national media is essentially divided into Arch-hypers and Arch-detractors. I keep hearing many national analysts on the detractor side essentially refer to Arch Manning like he is comparable to a standard first year starter in college football. "Texas has a first year starter at QB, you know how that can go", etc. Before diving into any stats, hearing that just caused some cognitive dissonance for me because right off the bat so many caveats come to mind when thinking of comparing Arch Manning to a first year starter. But I wanted to do an actual comparison with research and statistics, so that's what this post is for. For the sake of this, let's completely ignore that Arch is a Manning. Just an anonymous college QB. What are the objective characteristics of this QB that can be compared to current and former QBs across the country? 1. Former 5* recruit 2. Had to sit behind another former 5* recruit that already had a year of starting experience 3. Doesn't transfer to another program 4. Racks up quality game time experience in 2 years in backup capacity 5. Isn't the week one or season-majority starter until Year 3 or later So, to begin my comparison, I considered criteria #1, #3 and #5 and looked for former 5* recruits that eventually started at the program they signed with out of HS, but not until year 3 or later. I used 247 recruit rankings and went back to the 2010 class (earliest available on 247). Surprisingly, other than Arch, there have only been 3 other former 5* QBs that fit these criteria: Max Browne (USC), Davis Mills (Stanford) and Ty Simpson (Bama). Next, I was curious about how these players compared to Arch for criteria #2 and #4. #2. Who started ahead of Browne, Mills and Simpson? How much experience relative experience did they have? Browne: Cody Kessler, former 4* recruit with zero years of starting experience prior to Browne's first year on campus(2013) Mills: KJ Costello, former 4* recruit with zero years of starting experience prior to Mills' first year on campus (2017) Simpson: Jalen Milroe, former 4* recruit with zero years of starting experience prior to Simpson's first year on campus (2022) #4. How do the stats prior to being the week one or season-majority starter stack up? I'll add up all stats from the other 3. The Field: 0 Starts, 40/71, 56% completion, 524 yds passing, 0 passing TDs, 0 INTs, 148 yds rushing, 3 rushing TDs Arch: 2 Starts, 63/95, 66% completion, 969 yds passing, 9 passing TDs, 2 INTs, 115 yds rushing, 4 rushing TDs Conclusion: Arch Manning is unique to say the least
