Eh Sark is .500 against us (amazing considering it’s the worst stretch of OU football in 30 years). We can still bring it- just going to be short handed like the last 3/4 years.

Going to be interesting that’s for sure. It doesn’t bode well at all for the rest of the season. We will be lucky to win 4/5 more games most likely.

I still think he’s back for Texas.

All the sooner fans online said Michael Hawkins was a Heisman caliber player last year so now they get to see it


He won't be back for Texas, once again Texas gets our backup, and NO ONE said Hawkins was Heisman caliber. He single handedly gave away the S. Carolina game last year, though he managed to beat Auburn. The coaches said he grew a lot this past off season, and we shall see if they were blowing smoke. Either way, the Defense was going to have to win that game anyway. My guess is we will be lucky to go 2-1 IF Mateer is best case back by Ole Miss.

You ever notice how excited Texas fans got over last hour ? You guys came from everywhere … they are saying he’s back by Texas now so don’t get to happy lol

No one who knows anything is saying he'll be back by Texas. He is going to LA for surgery tomorrow, and he will be LUCKY to come back by Ole Miss. Knowing OU's luck with injuries, it will be Missouri.

We lost to friggen Swopes and that slack jaw Casey McCoy so Uterus is due for a WTF how'd we lose that game I think.

No earlier than Ole Miss, you guys will get Hawkins again, which worked REALLY well for you last year, he literally handed SC the game.

UTranny gets another "away game" in Dallas vs a shitty QB from OU again. Fitting.



Yep, last year they face 6 backup qbs or was it 7, the trend continues

Texas has had the easiest 10 game stretch in SEC history

OU can still beat them though. That defense is going to frick Arch up badly.

It's wild how that worked out, but it will be embarrassing if we lose one of those games with their backups.

Cheating bama tigers had to go and injure our quarterback, yet still lost. No worries, he'll come back even stronger! Just hope our defense can hold it down until he returns. Texas gets lucky once again and faces our backup qb.

On another note, a lot of us wondered why he seemed off on his throws and didn't seem to be playing well, it happened in the first quarter.

I sincerely dislike it for Mateer, who is a good player trying to have a banner year.

I sincerely don't mind the resulting heartburn it may cause the room temp IQ OU trash we've seen the last few days around here
