Hah, I didn't know a post with "Burnt Eyes" would lure Shiner out of hiding!

Still drivin that old Vette???

Nah.  Several of his kids are there and aren't/can't go anywhere.  He ain't leaving his kids.  And despite the flashy name I don't think A&M is about to hire a coach who has no actual track record of success at a major level.  

Is the Michigan HC available?

Going into yesterday, several pathways for OU to meet UT in the CCG were open. ISU could have beaten ISU. Houston could have beaten fOSU. Kansas could have beaten Kansas State. Those were three pathways, or starts of pathways, but all are now foreclosed.


For some reason, I remember the line towards the end of Romeo and Juliet:

PRINCE
 
 This letter doth make good the Friar’s words,
 Their course of love, the tidings of her death;
 And here he writes that he did buy a poison
 Of a poor ’pothecary, and therewithal

300

Came to this vault to die and lie with Juliet.
 Where be these enemies?—Capulet, Montague,
 See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
 That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love,
 And I, for winking at your discords too,

305

Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punishèd.

"Punishèd" is pronounced with three syllables. So it should be with "forclosèd."


Back to reality, unless the Horns just collapse in Austin this weekend, there's very little chance that OU will make the CCG. FOSU would have to lose (to BYU in Stillwater) too, I believe.

And, is it true that the Horns have not yet completely guaranteed their date in the CCG? Something I read late last night made that assertion.

Oh, well. The way that the Sooners are playing--and particularly the way that the "elite" OC Jeff Lebby is calling plays--the Sooners would not figure to fare well in the rematch that everyone was predicting back in October.

So if all goes to chalk, it's Texas-OkState for the B12.

The same OkState that last year, the refs called Texas for 14 penalties, and OkState for zero.

Should be fun.

oSu seems to make hay from their RB Ollie Gordon. He's good, but I think Texas can minimize his impact.

Which leaves Bowman, his receivers, and an eternity of "Wow! What a catch!" throughout the game.

Our secondary enables a LOT of "wow what a catch" statements to be made.  That's our biggest team weakness right now, and it's even more exposed when the refs are allowing our d-linemen to be suplexed to the ground on nearly every play.

Anyway, I'll worry about OkState if we get there.  Right  now I'm more than a little worried about Texas Tech.  This game has upset written all over it.

No worries, I think Michael Crabtree is out of eligibility.
