  1. I cannot think of an adjective that properly describes this performance. Offensive line play is where football success builds from, and this season I'm not seeing it. Right now, I'm not at all worried about what the playoff committee thinks.
  2. I was also at the 1984 monsoon tie game. Ranked #1 before the game and it felt like a complete loss to me. Fred's conservative play calling was on display that day, or maybe our offense just wasn't up to rain game against a good defense. A forgettable game in my book.
  3. Firing head coaches in September, it's a brave new world. Were these schools really expecting something different in August?
  4. Did OSU's competitive days die with Boone Pickens? Or did they fire Gundy because of his stance on NIL?
  5. I remember the Sorry Bastards thing. It was true unfiltered hate and those of us that lived it have never forgotten it.
  6. Very true. I think it contributed to Royal's early retirement.
  7. Regarding OU spying: As I recall Royal accused Switzer of spying on his practices and offered Switzer his yearly salary if Switzer could pass a lie detector test. There were reports of the coaches seeing a man watching practice from a distance. Switzer refused the lie detector test and called Royal an old man that spent too much time listening to country music. Their feud came to a head in 1976. Gerald Ford was running for president, and somebody convinced him to appear near midfield during pregame alongside Royal and Switzer. The entire stadium booed loudly, and Ford's pregame move backfired largely. The game ended in a 6-6 tie, and it sucked for everyone involved. Any of you old farts with a better memory feel free to add corrections.
  8. 1972 the land thieves had our quick kick figured out before the ball was snapped.
  9. I am verklempt! Now watch out for those trick plays.
  10. Faking out the cameraman is a desirable trait.
  11. Count me as not surprised. There was flagrant DPI by OU that went uncalled also.
  12. Home games are better at night. The crowd is more into it. 11:00 o'clock games not so much.
  13. OU ran a trick play on their first touchdown that I believe is illegal. One of the receivers left the huddle early and pretended to run off the field but he stood just inbounds on the OU sideline. He was uncovered for a TD and the refs let it stand.
  14. 11:00 o'clock games are an abomination. I like night games.
  15. Shipley, kicking lots of extra points.
  16. We were miserable, hot, sweaty and pissed off.
  17. "Mississippi State’s win over No. 12 Arizona State marked the first time they beat a ranked non-conference opponent since 1991. The team they beat was No. 12 ranked Texas." And I was there in Starkville, Mississippi to see that. It rained just enough to get us all soaked. Another loss to Jackie Sherrill. What a disappointing day.
  18. Is "Watch with Us" still a thing?
  19. Dak gets sacked 4 times. Hopefully he doesn't have his usually season ending injury.
  20. Two seasons are not enough to fairly judge unless he has lost control of the players.
  21. Texas A&M comes away with best stadium (Texas 2nd) and best atmosphere (Texas 2nd). This disappointing and I don't know how we overcome it. One thing I will say for aggy, they are consistently loud. Kyle Field has always seemed to me to designed to trap more noise inside its walls. As to the uniforms, I can see many of today's kids liking all of TCU flashy purple, silver and white combinations.
  22. Our penalty on that potential safety was a killer. That could have very well swung the outcome of the game.
