Well my son is about to turn 18 and was a newborn when that game happened. You guys talk about that game more than your last Natty.
Oh, and A&M could have rolled up something ugly on OU in the mid '90s when you were down but settled for 51-7 and 27-0 but we didn't feel the need to keep throwing deep when it was clear A&M had no DB's. You guys clearly still had your feelings hurt from losing at Kyle the year before and decided to run it up. Congrats but when kids are applying to college now when that game happened you really should start to let it go, Fran has been gone for a very long time. Last I checked we destroyed you last time we played anyway.
Right now you guys have your hands full holding off the mighty Green Wave, might want to focus on the present.

This isn't 1990. Schools recruit nationally. Proximity doesn't matter that much.

I like these type of threads. Means A&M is doing something right.
Aggies are fully aware of the stakes, and the sense of urgency is clear. And Jimbo already knows the score. He welcomed the pressure when he publicly stated he was gunning for the top spot while Saban was still around.
It’s a good spot to be in for A&M, considering the alternatives.

Throwing deep and running it up? OU threw it 18 times in the first half and 3 times in the second half. Reserves started the second half and threw it on the second and third play on the 3rd quarter on 2nd and 8 and 3rd and 8. Then on 2nd and 10 in the second drive of the second half.
3 passes and 35 runs in the second half. OU had a 14 play (all runs) 4th quarter drive trying not to score again. I think OU ran it 32 straight times to end the game.
You either didn't watch the game, or you're just being aggy.

Oh we sucked and I did suffer through that game. We literally couldn't cover anyone and White threw 5 TD's in the 1st half including with 38 seconds in the half up 42-0 to make it 49-0 at half. OU came out early 3rd and rolled up a few more TD's and then took their foot off the gas. Our team was unprepared and had clearly quit. Stoops wanted revenge for losing the year before and to embarrass an A&M team that lost everyone and he did, props.
It was also 18 years and 4 coaches ago but you guys act like it was the greatest win in program history, I would bet you mention that game 50x more than any of your NC's on this site. It's pathetic too considering how Johnny Football mushroom stamped you the last time we played.
What is far more relevant though is where the programs are now and where they are headed. You guys have Rattler out there talking about how tough Tulane was and then you try to act like you should be a Top 5 Program.

Thanks for the response. Hopefully you can clarify when OU was throwing deep and running it up.
Are you saying OU ran up the score in the first half by throwing while up 42-0 to make the halftime score 49-0?
Are you saying OU ran it up in the second half before "taking their foot off the gas"?
Because I think we covered this already. I mean, how could OU run it up in the second half on 3 passes and 35 runs, with the last pass coming with 10:50 to play in the 3rd Q?
If you did suffer through that game, surely you'd admit OU was actively trying not to score in the 4th Q, as the final TD was a defensive TD in the 3rd Q.
How would you compare it to A&M beating Baylor 73-10 a month earlier when A&M scored 14 in the 4th Q? Care to address whether passers were thrown by A&M late in that game?

Both Texas and A&M's recruits mainly are instate. It is more a matter of pride to recruit instate for Texas schools than at other schools, least it seems that way to me.
Oklahoma has a strong profile in the state which will only grow stronger with the SEC. Jimbo has to show recruits that A&M is the place to be now or he may never have a chance like this again.

Well if you're interested in an honest argument, which I don't think you are, just limiting it to national championships is way too binary of an argument. Obviously.
Texas has a grand total of one national championship since 1970. Are you gonna tell me Texas hasn't had any success since 1970 outside of 2005? Because that's exactly what your post implies.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
The whole A&M hasn’t won a national championship since 1939 dig, albeit still sad, is really just a troll shot on message boards. National championships aren’t the only barometer of success but you don’t want to start going into the other barometers. You guys say Texas has underachieved (which they have), it looks really bad for A&M since 1970.
AP top 10 finishes since 1970:
Texas - 14
Texas A&M -7
AP top 25 finishes since 1970:
Texas - 32
Texas A&M - 22
Conference championships:
Texas - 13
Texas A&M - 8
A&M hasn’t played for a conference title since 1998…

You asked if I watched the game, I did. OU was destroying A&M and they had all but quit very early. We had no ability to stop the pass and it was getting ugly fast. OU could name the score and they decided to stop at 77. I agree once it hit 70 OU was trying not to score, I think Stoops realized it was a bad look. Once again props.
Never said A&M was pure when it comes to running it up. All teams do it. It's just not that impressive for a team that is clearly stronger runs it up over a weaker opponent. That was an A&M team that had 5 losses already en route to a 4-8 season. What is far more impressive is when you have a strong team and win a game against another strong team in games that matter.
The point though is the OU obsession with that game and yet you act like that has any relevance that most current players were still pooping in their diapers at that time. You guys talk about that game like it was yesterday and it was the greatest accomplishment of all time for OU. Every school has embarrassing losses if you want to look back decades, it's just weird how you guys obsess over that one.
Interesting you don't want to talk about how you last weeks game or the future. This thread is about how "the clock is ticking" and where things are headed. Might as well talk about how OU sucks because of the John Blake era.

To be very clear, 77-0 has nothing to do with the here and now. I merely questioned you post about OU throwing deep and running it up. IMHO, that didn't happen and the facts of the game support my opinion.
OU, as does every team, has embarrassing losses. I'd never hide from them, and I'd certainly never revise history about them.
What would you like to know about last week's game or the future? I'll give you my thoughts and you just let me know if there is anything specific you'd like my opinion on.
OU's OL needs to come together. Rattler needs stop being lazy with his fundamentals. Safety plan for OU is spotty. LB reads are not always strong. Offense needs more discipline in assignments and pre-snap penalties.
I don't generally worry much about opening games. Beating Tulane 40-35 after being up 37-14 at half is not very satisfying. Show's a lack of "foot on the gas".
As far as this season's future, I see OU about like always. Can win any game, can shite the bed. Might win the NC, might get blown out in the playoff. As has been the case, there is a lack of playmakers on defense, thin at RB for reasons, and the OL might not be good enough. Might win it all, probably won't. Most likely conference champs with possibility of not getting blown out in semi-finals.
That's about the best I can do after week 1.

Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and a lot of the SEC schools (plus some Ohio State) are already getting all of the top 50 players in the state right now.
The difference is, that over the past 10 years or so 5-10 of the top 50 are going to Tech, TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State, etc and a larger percentage of the top 100 players in the state are going to those schools. I don't think it changes the paradigm in the state much at all for the schools that will be in the SEC, but with Oklahoma and Texas in the SEC, there will be a clear division between an offer from an SEC school vs an offer from a Big 12 school that was not as strong as long as Texas and OU were in the Big 12.
It would be unthinkable if, for example, after the move the number one player in the state chose TCU as happened just 2 years ago.

You act as if we were trying to run up the score. I remember that game well. Jason White didn't even play in the second half.
Here are the scoring drives in the second half:
- rush, incomplete pass, 10 yard pass, 29 yard rush for TD.
- rush, rush, 25 yard pass, rush, rush, rush for TD
- 9 consecutive rushes for a TD
- fumble return for a TD
The last two drives consisted of 17 consecutive rushes with one possession intentionally turning over on downs on your five.
I would guess the 25 yard pass was YAC. Either way, giving a second string QB who would be starting the next year THREE passes in an entire half is hardly running up the score.
We also instituted a running clock. What more do you want?
