Thanks! I missed the 2000 game (mercifully) and the 1985 and 1988 games. I'm one who hopes Mateer misses this year's game. I've built up enough sooner karma over the years to think we deserve a "break," whether the break is their QB's thumb or something else! Hook 'Em!

I'm an Old Fart now, but I was at the OU Game in 1976 as a senior at UT. I remember Gerald Ford at midfield for the coin flip and all the security people surrounding him. A big deal was made of his days playing Center for the Wolverines. I remember the tie score and the other tie score in the 1984 game played in a Monsoon. Was the OU Switzer "spy" his assistant coach Larry Lacewell? There was some genuine bad blood in the rivalry during those years and I remember the Okie fans being a lot jerkier in their behavior back then. Maybe I have mellowed in my advanced years, but it seems to me the fans are more humorous nowadays. Hook 'Em!

Ja'Kobi Jackson is listed as OUT on Florida's injury report, so that won't help their cause.

Thanks for posting... excellent historical note from one of the more interesting games in the series. A great memory. Indeed I WAS in attendance at the '77 OU game at the venerable old Cotton Bowl Stadium. I was a graduate student at UT in '77 and '78, having graduated from Texas in '76 ( the Bicentennial Year seems so long ago now! ). Speaking of the Bicentennial Year, my roommate sat down on the sofa to watch the Cowboys -Redskins Monday Night game that year and his gametime "snack" was a one-half gallon of Blue Bell Bicentennial Vanilla, and can of Hershey's chocolate syrup and a soup spoon. The young man could eat! He was a grad student at Texas and had been a pitcher for UTEP baseball and was 6'3"and 225 lbs. My student "Blanket Tax" tickets for the OU games in '77 & '78 were the best seat locations I've ever had for the game. In '78, East side lower bowl Row 33 (about halfway up) and my left foot was on the 50-yard line. The kid seated beside me on my left was an OU student and my roommate was on my right. Perfect seat location. For the '77 game you recalled and detailed, we drew student tickets on the East side Upper Deck Row 3 on the North end 40-yard line. Almost perfect, but I do prefer the lower bowl. I know there used to be 66 rows in the lower bowl because in 2004 I got the worst seat location...Row 66 Lower bowl (top row) West side extreme North end under the overhang of the Upper Deck. In that year of '04 my left shoulder was pressed against the chain link safety fence. My wife and kids were unhappy...kids said they couldn't see and my wife asked several times "tell me again how much $ you gave to the Longhorn Foundation to get season tickets just to get OU tickets... and you've been giving for years and the University makes you sit HERE?!" I don't know if those lousy tickets were contributing factors in the divorce, but that '04 game was my last as a married man. 1984 was the tie game played in a downpour and I sat in the West Upper Deck and I could see the sheets of rain illuminated by the stadium lights on that dark and dreary afternoon. My Ex-wife was my fiancee in '84 and she never got over sitting through that tie game in the rain. She was a George Mason U alum and they don't care about football! Finally to the game you mentioned... the game we'd all prefer to forget. We were so sure Earl and the Horns would obliterate Notre Dame. What a time to play the only uninspired game of the entire season. Those awful green jerseys for ND. I almost didn't go because I had a migraine episode and when I found my seat location...top row West Upper Deck and my left shoulder resting against the Cotton Bowl Stadium Press Box. And on top of it all, it was really cold. A lousy day. But the '77 victory over OU was a great day and a great effort by the Longhorns and their THREE quarterbacks who played well after the starter and QB 2 were injured. Still one of the darndest things I have ever seen in a college football game. Thanks so much for indulging me and Hook 'Em Horns! PS my seat location should be good for the upcoming Florida game. I'll be on my sofa!

Looking to sell 4 Texas OU tickets, wont be able to make that trip this year. I can all 4 together or split in 2’s. Seats are in Section 120 Row 14. Looking to sell for $350 each. Similar tickets on third party sites range from $450-600 each. Just DM me if you’re interested.

Greg Sankey should be working to ostracize Tony Petitti in whatever way he can.

James Simon needs 7-10 carries in this game.

Agree with what you said on the podcast, Jeff. If we rush for 175, we win the game. Win in the trenches and control the ball and clock.

Run hard and most importantly hold onto the ball

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/46452188/sources-big-ten-discussing-2-billion-private-capital-deal this makes it seems like the PE company would have 1/20th of the revenue generation such as media rights, sponsorships and league revenue streams--not own everything.

With Emmett Mosley V hopefully making his Texas debut on Saturday, when the ninth-ranked Longhorns travel to the Swamp to face Florida (2:30 p.m., ESPN), and the Gators expected to have true freshman Dallas Wilson available for the first time this season, Arch Manning and DJ Lagway could get some much-needed perimeter weaponry for their respective offenses. If Mosley and Wilson are on the field, the wide receivers might do more than beef up the Texas (3-1) and Florida (1-3, 0-1 SEC) passing games. Stressing the opposing defense enough to give the running game a boost could be the difference between winning and losing, especially if the weather gets sloppy and the ground attacks become more of a factor. Neither running game has set the world on fire through four games. Based on the raw yardage output, the Longhorns have been good, ranking 37th nationally and seventh in the SEC in rushing yards per game (202.8). Still, the team’s average yards per rushing attempt (4.89) is behind last season’s pace (5.01) with one quarter of the regular season in the books. Getting Quintrevion Wisner and potentially C.J. Baxter Jr. back will give Texas two proven commodities in the backfield. The return of either runner will take some of the running game burden away from Arch Manning, although his legs will likely continue to be a major part of Steve Sarkisian's game plan. Where Wisner and Baxter need to make an impact is their ability to maximize runs. That’s one way to bring some juice to a running game lacking explosiveness. Texas has 24 rushing attempts that have gone for 10 or more yards this season, which ranks ninth in the SEC. Alabama and Oklahoma are the only SEC clubs with fewer rushing attempts that have gained 20 or more yards than the Longhorns (three), none of which have come from running backs. Manning’s 20-yard touchdown run on a scramble against San Jose State and two big gains in the Sam Houston game by Ryan Wingo (32 yards on an end-around) and Matthew Caldwell (an option keeper for 50 yards) account for the offense’s three longest rushing attempts from scrimmage. Baxter had an 18-yard run against San Jose State, which is the longest by a Texas running back this season. With running backs Jaden Baugh and Ja’Kobi Jackson back from last season, along with four starting offensive linemen (preseason All-American Jake Slaughter and preseason All-SEC pick Austin Barber among them), Florida’s running game has the pieces to be arguably the best in the SEC. Instead, the Gators are averaging 123 yards per game, which is the third-worst in the conference and No. 106 in FBS. Florida averages less than four yards per rushing attempt (3.94) and, like Texas, hasn’t been able to lean on big plays on the ground. Alabama’s offense is the only SEC attack with fewer rushing attempts that have gained 10 or more yards than the Gators (13), who’ve matched the Longhorns’ three gains from scrimmage of 20 or more yards (a 27-yard run by Jackson in a road loss to Miami is the longest gain on the ground for Florida through four games). Whether either running game gets untracked on Saturday will be easier said than done. Texas is No. 3 nationally against the run (59.8 yards per game allowed), leads the SEC in yards per rushing attempt allowed (2.13), has held five consecutive opponents to under 100 yards rushing and has allowed only five rushing attempts to go for 10 or more yards. The Gators are a top-40 defense nationally against the run (111.3 yards per game and 3.37 yards per attempt allowed) with a Pro Football Focus team tackling grade of 85.7, which is the second-best in the SEC and ranks No. 6 in the country. While the Longhorns cruised to a win in last year’s meeting with Florida, with a 49-17 drubbing in Austin, Anthony Hill Jr. remembers the Gators rushing for 197 yards. Florida’s output was second to Arizona State’s 214-yard effort in the Peach Bowl for the most rushing yards allowed by the Texas defense in 2024. With Billy Napier’s offense returning a lot of the pieces the Longhorns saw last season, they're preparing for a fierce trench battle on Saturday. “We know the type of athletes they have,” Hill said on Monday. “We know who they recruit — we've probably lost some recruits to them — so we know they have the athletes. We're just going to go out there and play the best football we can.” View full news story

Super bummed, we are headed out of town that weekend for a funeral and won’t be able to attend. I’ve got 4 tickets (together) in section 120 row 15 seats 5-8. Looking to sell them to a Texas fan and avoid brokers to make sure we pack the house! Let me know if interested asking $375 per they are currently going for 450-800 on SeatGeek.

Aaliyah Boston was ridiculous. She can handle Aja Wilson, but that last ticky tacky foul was awful. Those refs are horrible.

He might be out for the season after Texas.

Bad idea. Selling your best asset to someone that could care less about you or your product. If they need the money that bad they’ve already screwed up.

Wisner needs to make it through the game without getting dinged up. The RB and WR room rotating triage situation needs to stop.

I said I didn't mean you. This is what I'm talking about when it comes to semantics: Florida, Previously an Unknown Territory, Now Becoming Familiar Lands for Texas

Baxter shouldnt be rushed back imo. They really need to take it slow.

Meaning these PE companies would own their media rights and could negotiate on their own.

CJ when people insult Mateer on the board

Pretty cool right there!
