2011 Red River Shootout: OU vs Texas

[BERT]

who?

Rhett Bomar is the first person that comes to mind with being big headed. He was like that in High School, he broke his finger against us in 2003, but before that happened, he talked shit all game.

Football gods did us a favor and we had Sam Bradford instead.

Jermaine Calhoun was the #1 or #2 RB in the country, couldnt sniff the field at OU except blowouts, i dunno if he was an underachiever or just couldnt cut it coming out of Van,TX....wherever that is

Heard McCoy was the biggest one and I think that's why he didn't play what so ever yesterday

He is talking about UT players having big heads an blaming each other for the loss.


On another note, Broyles broke both the NCAA career reception record and the BIg XII career TD record with a 57 yd TD catch tonight against Kansas.

Funny you say that. Rumors are brewing that there are a few prima-donnas on the Texas team and they might be looking for a way out. Apparently a lot of finger pointing was going on after the game this past saturday.

got cha...


It happens in every big program though, you get those big recruits who were just big recruits in crappy city of talent or the big headed guys who think they are gods once they step on the field.

Don't go by star ranking, go by who actually panned out and is playing. Not many seniors and juniors playing means something went wrong during those years, doesn't it? Freshman shouldn't HAVE to play this early and this often unless they're total badasses.

not sure if serious?

You guys still had pretty good recruiting (looking at rivals)

Didn't read it but I'm guessing that's from an Oklahoma paper? For the record, I'm not saying that's why Texas lost, I was saying that to show how lazy the recruiting got in '07-09

Definitely looks like it was written by an ou grad.

And it doesn't help Texas out when something like 56 of their 85 players are underclassmen

Fun Point #1 - At one point during yesterday's game, you know when ESPiN is trying to do what they do (i.e. spin) and trying to excuse away why their new business partner is getting absolutely worked in front of a national television audience, put up a graphic showing that Texas currently has 56 freshman or sophomores on their roster. See, what they're trying to do there is off some not so subtle excuses (they'd try to call them reasons, but they're liars) and distract you as to why Texas was getting their butts kicked. Not surprisingly, what they failed to acknowledge was the fact that Oklahoma has 52 freshman or sophomores on their current roster. That whopping difference of four apparently not a relevant fact I guess since we were the ones doing the butt kicking and therefore not in need of anyone to make excuses for us.
.

Fun Point #2 - A likely common retort to Fun Point #1 from Texas fan would be "Well, um, yeah, but our young guys are playing and yours are just back-ups." Ignoring the fact that their "young guys are playing" not because of a massive loss due to graduation or to the NFL draft (again, why acknowledge the facts) rather instead they're playing because the upper classmen that were ahead of them, most of whom are still on the roster, are no longer because they were never really that good to begin with. Fun little sidetrack, but back to the main point at hand. Once again if you hear this, it's just your typical Texas fan ignoring those fun little things called facts. This incredibly young and inexperienced Texas team has 19 freshman or sophomores on their current two deep depth chart. Oklahoma has 18.
.

So within just those to points, some might call them facts, you've effectively debunked this theory of theirs that they are setting themselves up for some great run in the years to come that a team like OU simply won't be able to contend with. Their roster is stocked with all this young talent and once the Sooners lose all their best players to graduation/the NFL (like many of them are already touting for next year), we'll have no shot at beating their mighty Longhorns. Um, false. The actual facts of the matter are the Sooners are just as loaded with young talent and have done an infinitely better job of developing such young talent.

TEXAS

35 freshmen
21 sophomores
15 juniors
13 seniors


OKLAHOMA

32 freshmen
19 sophomores
18 juniors
13seniors

They're good, OU that is. And it doesn't help Texas out when something like 56 of their 85 players are underclassmen

Or when your QB rotation has what, 5 turnovers, which all lead to scores?


I know, I know.... STFU Brent.

My bad, yo.

[Silverback]

It was pretty fun being one of only three people rooting for the Sooners in a bar in Austin, when they lost, then being one of only ten people rooting for the Aggies later that night when they won.

[Vertnut]

Is OU that good or is it that Texas sucks that bad....

Probably a combination. OU looks pretty damn strong.
