Congrats to the Sooners on what I think is a really good win.  OU out-coached and outplayed Texas in all aspects.  It was a convincing win even if the score ended up only a TD apart.

I was actually surprised and impressed with the Texas defense, they gave up a lot of yards but that was mostly by design.  They forced a couple of turnovers to get stops, and got a few more stops that took some grit to achieve. I was expecting OU to score into the 40s and the Texas defense held up better than I had hoped.

The Texas offense, on the other hand, looked lost for most of the game and performed well below expectations.  I'll ceetainly credit the Sooner defense with causing those problems.  Texas just had no answer for the multiple fronts and stunts that OU was delivering.  And the o-line got absolutely abused by the defensive front that they had dismissed earlier this week as "nothing special."

Guess what, Texas-- 9 sacks and pathetic pass protection combined with mostly pathetic rush blocking proves that YOU are nothing special.

Now how about you shut your freaking mouths, stop talking when you've proven nothing, and get your effing shinebox. You got schooled today and it is woefully embarrassing to you, to the rest of your team, and every Longhorn alumnus and fan.  Just shut up and get to work.  You have a long long long way to go.

End transmission.

Here's the solution, which must not have occurred to the Horn and Aggie leadership: Texas and Texas A&M should play an annual OOC game, as the Sooners and Horns did for almost 70 years.

Aggies have a burr in their saddle, and its called Longhorn Network.

We showed more promise in losing to LSU than we have shown since.  Why can't we put together a complete game?

Look... OU is a good team alright?  But mostly due to studs, kinda like your high school team.  CD Lang, Jalen Hurts.  Texas doesn't have that.  Texas has good players, but for Texas, it's either put together a complete game or bust - against teams like OU.

Now today Texas decides that the offense will sputter.  WTH?  And no, don't give me that OU has a great defense - I don't wanna hear it.  OU has a good enough defense, and that's that.

Sam was flat, his receivers were flatter, and we still keep forcing the issue with Keontay Ingram.  We lost 3-1/2 quarters wasting time on him.  Did any of you catch how blitzing sooners ran right passed his ass straight to Sam?

Texas defense gave up some points, but OU is a volatile offense.  They did enough to win, and likely would have done better if Texas offense could have been a tad more potent.

I'm ready for Texas to have a solid 60-minute showing on a Saturday.  Haven't seen it in a while.  WTF Herman?

Sorry, I keep thinking about Boren.  He's the one who took front and center for OU.  Nobody knows that Italian guy from Adam.

And don't act like utee knows anything.  He only swells up.

Maybe you know Utee personally, but I don't.  I haven't seen this swelling up thing.  

Re your previous post, I have this to say about Sam Ehlinger.

He sometimes lets being The Texas Longhorn Quarterback go to his head, which makes him say young-stud-stupid things like his comments on "horns down."

But he's a tough son-of-a-gun and a very good college QB.  He put his team on his shoulders today, but that wasn't enough.  We sacked him 9 times, hitting him hard every time, because he doesn't go down easy.  And we hit him hard a bunch of other times too.  And every time he got up and headed back to the huddle to come at us again.  We'd be proud to have him if he were our QB.

Too bad he's a Horn.  You guys should be glad you have him.  He's your best QB since Six-Shooter.

Too bad he's a Horn.  You guys should be glad you have him.  He's your best QB since Six-Shooter.

I'm proud and glad to have Sam because he loves his school, and it's his life dream.  And yes, he's tough and all.

But overall, he's a notch below where Texas' next QB better be.

I think it has to do with cable TV no longer driving the train moreso than grants of rights.

When those GOR's come up for renewal, we'll see who/what's tooting the horn up in the locomotive.

Bear in mind, when I say "realignment", I don't necessarily imply Texas leaving the Big XII.  But all things aren't staying the same.

Big Ten - 14 teams with 5-6 helmets
SEC - 14 teams with 7-8 helmets
ACC - 15 teams with 2-3 helmets
Pac 12 - 12 teams (imagine that) with 3-4 helmets
Big 12 - 10 teams with 2 helmets
