I learned the other day that those fans in red are cornhuskers, not sooners. Great episode.

This is the best game I’ve watched so far this season. Absolutely bonkers.

8

I just like seeing Texas not be back yet again (even tho they're arguably as back as they've ever been in reality)

Watching this game with both offensively struggling is really weird, these are two traditionally high scoring offenses, at least over the past 25 years

Side note, one of the huge plusses of OU leaving is I don't have to hear Boomer Sooner every 8 fuckin seconds....

Helluva game, Oklahoma. Glad we're sticking together going to the SEC. Enjoy the beautiful weekend staying undefeated, and may your phone inexplicably refuse to connect to your car bluetooth today.

The thirty seconds of that play was a wild rollercoaster of emotion.

Ah the Allstate Red River Rivalry Presented By Head And Shoulders.

Just got back into town and turned the game on, anyone wanna gimme a quick rundown?

5

Insane 1st quarter. Multiple 4th down conversions, turnovers, weird punting scenarios, crazy penalties, defensive struggle. But a normal 2nd quarter.

7

As a neutral fan, I’d like some more of that 1st quarter, please.

4

I don’t really believe in either of these head coaches but I’ll take Venables over Sark

4

What the actual hell is this going on, at this rate OU is gonna throw a pick 6 and then run the subsequent kickoff back

Yeah. From before the kickoff they were way more energized than Texas. Texas looks hungover.

Not really. My wife’s family is from Texas but she’s not a big football fan (her dad actually turned down free tickets to this game which makes no sense to me).

I’m rooting for a good game more than anything else.

It’s usually a good one, I always try and catch it if it’s not on during the same time as UGA. In general I go against Texas because orange is a fundamentally offensive part of the light spectrum.

That doesn’t make any sense though, free tickets to the shootout would make me buy a plane ticket

Edit: we need flairs, and yes I know they are working on it

He lives in the area. It makes no sense. I would have seriously considered flying down for it, and I hate flying.

Agreed flairs would be nice, but my alma mater is a D3 so I’m always neutral. Generally root for Team Chaos.

3

Yeah that’s just bizarre, I’d get it if it was some low key game but not this game

2

I 100% thought that was going to be a touchdown.

Under the rules of this game, Texas must now return a fumble 99 yards for a TD.

4

Ironically, I think Oklahoma needs to settle down now. Feels like they’re getting sloppy now that Texas got that TD.

Was listening to the the UT radio broadcast. Forgot how much I always enjoy the combination of deep knowledge and delusional homerism you get on the school radio networks.

OH MY!

3

I love Craig Way. I should mute the ABC call and put him on. Anything to shut up the boomer sooner ad nauseum

4

Just heard him on the FG. The amusing thing was painting the fourth largest MSA in the country and probably your largest or second largest source of recruits like some quaint backwater where your kicker would be so proud to be in front of the home folks.

2

A run for negative yardage followed by an interception. It will be interesting to see if the Texas offense can put that behind them.

3

Hope he’s OK, he looks like he’s in pain.

Massive loss for Texas, even for a couple of series. They already look awful, losing a veteran center won’t improve things at all.

3

I don’t like that call, it might be the rule but functionally that was a lateral, takes away from the potential fun imo

I was disappointed but if you’re going to pull those sorts of antics you need to execute. And the players 100% could have executed that, he just got jumpy and threw it early.

4

Yeah I’m just being a grumpy old man, I think you let that slide, if it was more than .75 of a yard I’d be more on board

3

Two questions, longhorn fans. One, was that ball uncatchable, and two 2 would the 5 yards of difference between dpi and holding have mattered?

2

The only thing in this game longer than that kick felt (to me) is the time left on the clock.

2

That was gutsy. Real gutsy. Considering how Texas has been playing that could have been awful. But it might give them some badly needed momentum.

2

Wow. Things are just not going Texas’ way today. It seems to be some combination of bad luck and OU just showing up to play far more than Texas did.

2
kbin.social

See, if OU didn't play Boomer Sooner every 2 seconds that would be an awesome time to hear it. Instead I'm instantly annoyed.

2

Don’t tell the Tennessee fans I said so, but Boomer Sooner is so monotonous and even worse than Rocky Top, which is at least a real song that they grind into dust by overplaying it.

3

Don't agree with the call to go for it, good play call tho. Just didn't hit.
