re: Has anyone here ever attended a tie football game?
Posted by giveemhell on 6/18/26 at 6:29 pm to JamalMurry27
I was at the 1995 Texas-Oklahoma game, which ended in a 24-24 tie. The Cotton Bowl stadium crowd was of corse half burnt orange and half crimson, and it was like nobody knew how to react at the end. None of the typical trash-talking in Fair Park afterwards, everyone just quietly left the stadium to go to the beer stands to contemplate what had just happened. It was weird.

The only thing that really matters in Omaha is the depth and consistency of your pitching staff. This 10-day gauntlet is so different from a regular 3-game weekend series. A lot of teams with great batting averages in the regular season end up dying there, wondering what happened.

The only times I've ever rooted for OU is when they play A&M in football and occasionally now in baseball because I always liked Skip, thought we should have made him head coach when Augie retired.

What are you talking about? Just about every Longhorn fan on this thread was rooting for OU because if we have to play Georgia again, we wanted to do it before Volchko could pitch again.

That's incredible, although our most reliable pitcher (Cozart) still hasn't played. Normally our nails closer, I have a feeling we'll see more of him tomorrow night than usual.

It's hard enough seeing Skip wearing crimson and cream. Seeing him in an aggy uni would have been intolerable.

I'm sure Georgia wishes they could get that first inning back, but mostly well-played game by both teams.

They officially changed his hit in the second inning to a triple, so he's hit for the cycle this game (only the third time in CWS history).

Texas is actually a decent hitting team most of the time. Your pitcher in the first one was pitching out of his mind, though, and made our batters look foolish.

Georgia has been nothing but consistent this season. Even after they had already secured the SEC regular season championship, they didn’t ease up in their final weekend series at Auburn. And they certainly didn’t treat the SEC tournament like it was just was a meaningless waste of time like Schloss did. On the contrary, they won it in businesslike fashion, just like they did against Texas tonight. Hard not to admire this Georgia team, and even harder to see anyone beating them in the CWS.

I’m not so sure about that. This is our 39th trip to Omaha, but we’ve fought our way out of the elimination bracket to win it all exactly once (in 1950). The loser’s bracket tends to decimate your pitching staff.

I'm as conservative as they come on most issues, but despise Paxton, a dirty, dirty politician. The hardcore MAGA voters apparently don't care, they just vote for whoever Trump tells them to.

We seem to be seeing fewer private schools in the CWS recently. NIL?

The parking lot around the old Rosenblatt Stadium was literally a 10-day tailgate party, but I haven't been to the CWS since they moved it to Charles Schwab Field. Is the tailgate scene there comparable?

Bama players jumping into the stands was cool.

OU was up 8-1 and batting in bottom of 3rd. Hated they suspended lots in attendance said they could have resumed last night. Still have 6 innings left this only helped Kansas regroup.
Skip is not going to blow a lead that big in a playoff game. Sucks that it got delayed, though.

We have a winning record vs Ole Miss in Austin, Oxford and Omaha. Does it really matter to you whether we beat your arse on grass or turf?

Surprised no Sooners have piped up here. Leach was only OC at OU one year (1999), but he established the Air Raid offense and brought in QB Josh Heupel to run it. OU won the national championship the following year with an undefeated season.

I love the fact that I had to look up a few of those logos in the graphic at the top of this thread. With some Cinderellas in the mix, college baseball still feels like a college sport.
