Fairly certain that if Texas had scheduled Northwest Louisiana instead of LSU, we'd be ranked #7 right now and the spread would be OU -5.

I'm glad that did not happen. Texas knows what they have and how to play. OU still doesn't know (not their fault - UCLA shouldn't be a laugher).
No doubt, not only did Texas get a great early test, but that weekend-- from the pre-parties to the tailgate parties to the gameday atmosphere on campus and within the stadium, plus the game itself-- was an incredible amount of fun.  A win would have been better, but we got to see a heck of a game and that's really the whole point.

At least somebody here got my "point".  I guess it was too obscure.  I can be obtuse at times as well.


Guess I missed it.  Sorry.

Anyone going to Dallas this year for it?   Just curious, I might be going next year if things align the way I want them to. 


I just love how this game brings out the fan-frenzy from people of all ages, like this story: 


"Herman told reporters his first memory depicting the sheer intensity of UT versus OU was as a grad assistant. He said he remembered looking out the window of the Texas bus to see an 80-year-old woman and an 8-year-old boy both giving him the double bird. 

Yes, you read that right. Herman was flipped off by an 80-year-old lady and a child."    :86:

Won't be there this year, the schedule just didn't allow it.  We're definitely going next year though, since our oldest will still be in middle school and missing a day is still not that big of a deal.

This isn't true.  We've been laughing at sooners since Sunday.

Sunday of 1894, that is!

Either the Sooners win and everyone talks about how Jalen Hurts and Alex Grinch will propel them into the CFP, and how this win proves it,...

or

Texas will win, and everyone will talk about how the Sooners will win in the Big 12 CFP, and how Jalen Hurts and Alex Grinch will propel them into the CFP.

(but I'd still prefer Texas win)

Yup. And your statement would still be true even if Texas has beaten LSU in week 2. Texas has a lot of years of mediocre-to-terrible football to overcome, in the public's eye.

And in reality as well.

Kinda like USF has a lot of terrible football to overcome, even though they were going undefeated 3 years ago.

Obviously, OU could lose and still make the CFP, not so for Texas (probably).  A Texas win would help LSU's optics.  This is the time of year where "we" start pulling for teams we already beat to do better.  The Cincy win over UCF helps Ohio State, for example, if this comes down to the usual beauty pageant thing.

Of course, a P5 that is 13-0 is almost certainly a lock (Clemson), so that is a good approach as well.

Yeah my comment about "in the public's eye" is specifically addressing the droog's comments about what people will be saying in the case of a Texas win, or a Texas loss.  That's reflective of the "public's eye."

"In reality" is subjective depending on your fandom and point of view.  For Texas fans, sure, there's recent history of terrible football that I want-- and expect-- the coaching staff to overcome.  Rival programs probably don't want that to happen.  And other folks don't really care.
