Here it is:

Great Uncle George's Eggnog
14 eggs (divided)
2 cups sugar
1 pint heavy cream
1.5 quarts light cream (half and half)
1/5th whiskey (which is about the same as 750 ml and you can use more or less to taste)
Dark rum (to taste, 1 cup or so)
 
Directions:
1) Cream egg yolks with sugar (we use our stand mixer for this)
2) Put in a large container, and stir in the whiskey
3) Whip heavy cream, add to container (don't whip it all the way into butter, I did that once long ago and it is NOT good )
4) Whip egg whites to soft peaks, add in to container
5) Whip air into light cream, and add to container
6) Stir all mixture together, add dark rum
7) Serve chilled, keep stirring as you serve to keep it combined
8) Add fresh-grated nutmeg and/or cinnamon to taste, per cup
 
"Remember that it should be strong, as weak eggnog is insipid."

Yep.

There has been a grand total of one offensive holding call against OU opponents in Big 12 games.

Someone on a Longhorn message board posted the combined numbers for UT and OU this season, in B12 games.  Before the weekend it was something like 12 holding penalties called against our two offenses, versus two called against our opponents.

Since refs will tell you that they CAN call holding on every single play, this is a pretty alarming stat.

Hard to say, since we never actually make that batch. That's what Great Uncle George called a "small" batch but we normally make a couple of large batches which is several gallons.

It's at least a half gallon, maybe more like 3/4, after everything is all whipped up?

There is a large AGGIE sentiment, for sure.  Color me shocked.  I would hope you'd understand that your fanbase isn't exactly unbiased when it comes to Texas.

I haven't looked historically, but for this year, the numbers are fairly damning. For example, the crew that just finished refereeing the Texas-Baylor game, also refereed the Texas-Oklahoma State game.  In those two games:

Penalties and yards assessed against Texas:

19 penalties, 138 yards

Penalties and yards assessed against the opponents:

1 penalty, 2 yards

OkState averages 3.7 penalties per game and Baylor averages 4.5.  But sure, it makes total sense that they miraculously played nearly perfect football in their games against Texas.

There are also some fairly damning numbers when you look at Offensive Holding penalties called against departing Texas and Oklahoma in B12 play, versus the lack of Holding calls by our opponents in B12 games against our two teams.

Big 12 officials seem to be biased against programs leaving the conference, so this supports that discussion

now, the Mildkitties aren't leaving the conference, but a win by them could leave the conference out of the playoff

Right. TCU is the conference's only chance at the money and prestige that come from getting a team into the playoff.

And maybe even more importantly, preventing rival conferences from getting TWO teams in and furthering the narrative that the B12 is far inferior.

I expect anything 50/50 to go TCU's way, and then some.

Mmmm I like chile peppers.
