TX-OU 2023 - Hate Week Thread

[utee94]

The problem of OU's metrics is that it's like giving a 4th grade arithmetic test to AP high schoolers. They're pretty much going to ace it, so you're left examining minute differences in timing to make some semblance of a rank.

In other words, the Sooners have played a box full of wet tissue paper thus far. Thus far, they've torn right through all of it.

They may well be all that and a bag of pretzels, but I'd sure hate for this to be the first time to be hit in the mouth.

I can summarize.


It's 4:08 PM, and ou still sucks!

If you haven't seen OU this year, well, it is different.

This is what I'll be watching instead of lsu/mizzou.  I hope it's entertaining enough to take my mind off the other one.

Looking forward to more of this tomorrow:

I've never been to the Cotton Bowl.  What kind of shape is it in these days?  Am I correct that only one FB game is played there these days, being the RRR?  I've always heard it's kind of decrepit.

BOOMER SOONER!!!  
AWESOME GAME!!!

Congratulations

just hope we get a rematch

[Thumper]

Agree, 320.

[Gigem]

Damn. Totally unexpected finish but very thrilling. 

Lots of football left to play in the Big 12. The irony is neither team may make it back to the CCG. 

See you both in the SEC.

Great game by two good teams, I suspect.

Orange Bowl is a decrepit POS. The Cotton Bowl has been recently renovated and is in good shape.  It's still an old stadium and some things can't ever be corrected, but Texas and OU have it built into the contract that the City of Dallas must stay up to date on repairs and renovations, or the series contract ends.  I'd say the Cotton Bowl is actually in much better shape than the Rose Bowl, these days.

There are other games played there every year, even during the Fair.  Grambling and Prarie View play there I think every year, and one other college game.  And then there are also various DISD high school games played there, and some high school playoff games too.
