I wonder if Yormark gives a pep talk to each team the week before it plays OU or Texas.
He had a really bad weekend with Texas and OU managing to squeak out wins over New B12 teams.  I feel so sorry for him.

Since Texas fans started the whole "S-E-C!" chant all those years ago, I think it would be only fitting if they'd go ahead and chant it at the end of their wins this year.

Anyway...

Horns have to play Houston this weekend, AT Houston. This was likely a barb aimed directly at the Texas administration, who have refused to play Houston in any major sport, ever since the event called "Bleachergate."

Bleachergate occurred in 2001, when Texas was scheduled to play an away game at Houston...But they did agree to add some additional temporary bleachers in the endzone to serve a larger crowd, and they sold those tickets to Texas fans.


During last Saturday's Texas-Houston broadcast the announcers worked in a discussion of "Bleachergate," quoting the then Texas Athletic Director:

Yup.  And few folks could hold a grudge like DeLoss.

Here's another play where the UH right tackle just clobbers our DL with hands to the face and a choke hold.  Uncalled, of course.  I'm not kidding when I say this happened, this egregiously, on almost every single Houston offensive play from scrimmage. It's difficult to find a screen shot WITHOUT this happening, and in many cases it's several UH OL doing it at the same time. 



So on the one hand, yeah, our defense allowed an embarrassing comeback.  On the other hand, they did it with one arm tied around their throats.

Oh you ought to know.  Only bigger grudge-holding ahole out there, is Dr. Tom himself.

Is Oklahoma getting the same treatment?
We don't have an equivalent to Houston, but we sure seem to be getting a lot of early kickoffs.

OU: 6
KState: 3
TCU: 3
Baylor: 3
Cincy: 3
UCF: 2
ISU: 2
Texas: 1
Houston: 1
KU: 1
WVU: 1

11 AM is Fox's premier timeslot and has long been considered the "national" timeslot for ABC/ESPN.  OU is getting the 11 AM games because OU has been the best team in the B12 for over two decades.

Oh what's the back-story here?  I didn't realize there was some long simmering feud with Tom Osborne and ???

Tom Osborne and Texas is the story there.

He always hated Texas, blamed UT for ending Nebraska's dynasty by ending Nebraska's capability to recruit non-qualifiers and limiting their capability to recruit partial qualifiers, despite the fact that the B12 vote on that subject went against NU 11-1.  He blamed Texas for everything he didn't like, despite most of those votes going against him 11-1.  And then the actual football W/L record on the field, going 1-9 against Texas in B12 play, just sent him off the deep end. 

Hatred of Texas was his rallying cry to rile up the Husker masses and make the move to the B1G. And he never stopped shit-talking all the way out, crying to the press about mean old greedy Texas, even though his school was clearly making a move for more money while mean old Texas was staying in the B12 and making less.

He's a bitter spiteful little shiteater and although I love my Husker friends like Fearless, I'm glad that Tom Osborne has seen such football catastrophe in the B1G.  Couldn't happen to a more deserving small-minded prick.

ECFGs will have their retribution, every single time.

I know that that is the case with Fox. I'm not sure about ABC/ESPN.

11:00 games for the upcoming Saturday:
ABC: #4 Florida Sate at Wake Forest
ESPN: Texas A&M at South Carolina
Fox: #6 Oklahoma at Kansas

2:30 games:
ABC: BYU at #7 Texas
ESPN: #20 Duke at #18 Louisville
Fox: #8 Oregon at #13 Utah

In any event, OU has over the years repeatedly asked the Big 12 for fewer 11:00 home games. The fans don't like that time and it is not ideal for visiting recruits.

I was teaching at West Point when the Big 12 was formed, and I wasn't really paying attention to that formation. What I think I know about it is what I've picked up since retiring from the Army in 1999 and moving back to Oklahoma. I've thought that the seven other Big 8 schools--including OU--voted against Nebraska on every issue because they were tired of getting beaten every year, and that OU was happy to see the OU-NU series cut in half for the same reason. As far as the partial qualifiers, I've always understood that it was Texas who was most insistent about limiting that practice. In other words, 11 programs had a variety of motives to make life harder for Nebraska, the dominant program in college football at the time, and they acted on those motives.
The Nebraska head coach/ass't A.D. being upset would seem to be a normal reaction to that. I can't speak to the "bitter spiteful little shiteater" part. My only gripe about Dr. Tom concerned the retention of Lawrence Phillips on the team.
