re: Red River Shootout

Switzer never admitted to it, but Larry Lacewell did. Texas had been practicing a quick kick during the week. Lacewell was spying while dressing as a construction worker during the construction of Texas west side upper deck. During that 72 game, OU defense called out the Texas quick kick prior to the snap and blocked the quick kick.

BTW, what happens if Manning and Sarkisian simultaneously pull their heads out their a-holes and each play and coach a complete game? Holy cow.

I would like to point out that we put up a whooping 14 spot against the vaunted defense of the Lobos of New Mexico. It might take us 7 quarters to score 23 points against your defense.

Venables will pull out anything and everything for this one, and as you know, weird stuff happens in this game.

We have the better team imo but the better team doesn’t always win.

I was listening to a Texas podcast yesterday, and one of the speakers was talking about a speech he heard DKR give before the game, many years ago..

Paraphrased
“The key to this game is momentum. The team that grabs it and hangs on to it will win the game.”

It sounds so simple, but it’s really true when you think about it. Only 50k fans each, but somehow it feels louder than 100k at times when one team grabs the mo.

It’s intimidating and the energy (good and bad) gets heavy quick. I can’t imagine being on the field. These kids are mostly 18-22 years old, and emotions play a big role.

One key factor that we don’t have this year.

That guy was a JAG for most games, but against OU and A&M, he was a monster. I loved the way he played in these games.

Hollywood & Raleek are both better imo, but they’ll have to show up and ball out to match his production. It’s also possible that Venables didn’t scheme against him much for the same reason, so maybe a different scheme makes a difference too..

TLDR: I love this game, but I have no clue who will win, and it’s pretty much the same every year.

Hey remember your picks from two weeks ago? Those were WHITE HOT!!

Tenn moneyline
OU moneyline
I like A&M to cover

Texas 20, Tenn 27
UGA 41, OU 13
LSU 35, A&M 6

Lol dumbass.

If Texas plays like they did in Tenn they will lose

Just to be clear, it is your position that if Texas gets 10 sacks against Oklahoma, the Horns lose....right?

My God, for the sake of your family, I hope you don't live near a casino.

I’d bank on the following:

-two John Mateer interceptions,
-A non-factor Ben Arbuckle offense
-clock mismanagement from Venables
-multiple false starts from the OU offense
-a close defensive first half
-one Arch Manning interception
-two OU field goals

Realistically, Texas should win by 2 touchdowns. Their defensive front will be too much for Mateer, hope I’m wrong.

Starting to get a feeling OU wins this. Listened to an OU pod and they said expect a lot of new things on offense and OU is finally fully healthy

You don't fricking say.

Dangerous game, blowU needs this to salvage the season and get back on track.

We've been on that end many times in the past and ended up coming home with the golden hat in spite of bringing an inferior squad to Dallas.

That said, unless the gooners have improved their O-line vs last season...Midteer is going to find himself sandwiched between Collin Simmons and Lance Jackson every pass play that doesn't get the ball in the air in under 2 seconds.

Over the last 25 years, the team who had more rushing yards is 23-2

1) Sounds like we need to have 40+ attempts

14 Smothers
14 Brown
6 Copper
6 Arch

2) OU is in trouble because they do not have a good running game.

3) Win or lose, OU still sucks

We have zero chance because of our OL. Your defensive line gets downhill fast. There's not a second lost in attacking the run. You will destroy us unless our coaching staff works a miracle this week.

I expect to be at the gym by halftime.
