Nah. This is the best outcome. They can’t fire him even if they implode. 

Agreed… longer he’s there, the better it is for us.

Nahhhh this is bs. He will magically be healed and ready to go for the RRS. 

 

This is what I was thinking. Act like he is injured so they have a crutch to stand on for if he plays terribly against us….. ya know cause he is “hurt or recovering”

ESPN says he’s out a month. It doesn’t seem like a “tactic.”

 

God bless the young man and hope the surgery is successful.
 

If he has more eligibility it might behoove him to take the rest of the year.

What are you talking about? This isn't some fake deal. You don't have fake surgery to confuse Texas. 

[Tex CJ-7]

If our defense turns it loose, we could see who their 3rd teamer is. He better be decisive or there will be pain. 🤘🏻

Bummer, Red River was going to be an epic showdown.

Dak Prescott had the same injury and missed 5 weeks a year ago. Also didn’t look great when he came back for what it’s worth

It is likely Texas faces off against Oklahoma with a backup QB for the third time in the last four meetings.

Last year wasn't the backup. Arnold had already been benched and they had won a game @Auburn with Hawkins.

He's done. You don't have surgery on your throwing hand and come back in three weeks. This isn't arthroscopic surgery. Criminal has broken bone(s) in his throwing hand. Put pins or whatever. Hope he comes back for our game.

This would about the same as when they pushed Bradford back with his broken collar bone for our game, only for it to blow up in their faces when we knocked him out for the rest of the season. Please, OU force him back to face our defense with your poor OL and skill talent.

That's if you believe what it's a broken bone and not a torn ligament. OU is very likely lying their butts off about the extent of the injury.

OU went from Texas prep to trying to get a QB ready to play Kent St.

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

Here’s to a complete recovery for young Mr Mateer. And then follow coach Arbuckle to start for Okie Lite next year.

Eh they don't need a QB to beat Kent St, but after that omg it could get ugly really quick in conference play

[harveycmd]

What was the year Switzer illegally spied Texas like a year after Royal literally taught him the wishbone to save his job? Again, this is karma.

What if Hawkins is good now?

[alrightalrightalright]

He can redshirt depending how long recovery takes.

Let’s annihilate whatever product Florida and OU put out.

@CJ Vogel this you right now

If he was that good, they wouldn't have went out and got Mateer.  I'm sure he'll be better by having a better OC, but not enough to seriously threaten this Texas defense.

If Oklahoma didn't have a running game before they reallllllllly don't have one now

They're going to need all three weeks to prep Texas now.

If his hand is bad enough to have surgery there is no way he can come back and play in two weeks

especially a thumb.

BTW, what are the odds Texas could miss both Lagway and Mateer? 

I know someone stepped on Lagway's toe, but just throwing it out there

Whatever those guys have to do to redshirt I guess
