Obviously the big one is the Red River Shoot Out in Dallas.
Then the scheduling gods did me a huge favor and put most of the other great games of the day at the same time as the Nebraska - Texas Tech game (game thread for that game will open up at 2:00 pm).
I'm going to have to get a better Dish Network DVR, so I can record and flip, dadgumit.

so
what you think of Texas – Oklahoma – who’s going to win?
I think Texas hasn’t played much, their lack of a running game is going to hurt them….

I thought it could have been better. The usual let’s get people to try and pronounce his first name bit, explaining House of Spears. A few interviews by teammates and Bo. Few highlights from Mizzou and Gator Bowl.
I thought it could have been better, but I guess coverage is better than none. :)

you know
I’m so blatantly for Oklahoma in this game it’s not funny.
I’m just bloody irritated with Texas that they couldn’t schedule one big game in the non-conference. The excuse that Arkansas backed out is a joke.
Oklahoma scheduled some tough games and it hurt them.

Not sure Oklahoma will be able to keep this up if they’re players keep getting knocked out of the game. OU defense sure is responding though.
by davereid on Oct 17, 2009 11:56 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
One thing
though….
Colt McCoy’s Heisman candidacy is dripping away with each play that Texas fails.
So…. I know Suh has no chance of winning it, but might as well see the big three fall down.

Refs
are helping out Longhorns now.
more yardage against Oklahoma in penalties than offense by Texas.
these calls against the defense just suck – on both sides – …. I hate it.

OU lineman injured on the field. Just does not stop coming for OU. By the fourth quarter they’re going to have to forfeit because they don’t have enough players. :/

That play was crazy. OU fumbled the punt return, Texas picks it up and fumbles it right before the endzone…will be touchback for OU.

McCoy is doing NOTHING for this Texas offense. He’s off target, hurried, nervous. He’s sucking badly.

You guys in "national championship" mode?
I’m not. Used to be I was there by default from the start of the season, until the Huskers were eliminated beyond a doubt. Now it would take a lot of convincing to get me there.
But, I’m starting to think that way a little. It’s factoring into my OU rooting today.
