If Texas gets Hudson and Cobb

[horn01]

Everybody is reading a lot Into Hudson visiting OU. It was a bit unexpected, and it does help to be the last team that got face time with a kid. With that said, a detail that is being overlooked almost everywhere...
He could not come to Austin on an OV, because he had already used an OV here. He had one weekend before the dead period, which started Sunday night, and so he went to a place that was still eligible to host him. Why shouldn't he?
Don't read much into it. If he planned to come to Texas on Thursday this changed nothing.

Givingtree Texas did manhandle Ou last year , but Texas wasn't the better team ( obvious by the way the season played out). As always regardless of how bad or good each team is, RRR will be a slugfest. I expect Texas to be improved, but still a middle of the conference type team

Texas wasn't a better team over the course of the year bc it was hampered by an inept Qb and inept offense. The 2016 Texas team is going to field an offense however that is not going to cripple them and will put pressure consistently on opposing defenses. They are still a year away from being a playoff contender but there is a talent gap btwn Texas and OU and its going to show again in the RRS

Want to put some money on that ? Lol. Right now you are simply assuming your offense will be improved, you don't know. I'm assuming Ou will be better in the trenches, but I don't know.

 

[RoboCocks21]

I guess ou will be big d!ck beaters this year. Bet the farm on them winning it all this year.

Im not assuming, I know Texas' offense will be better in 2016. Prolific? Probably not yet. But consistently able to challenge and put pressure on Big 12 defenses? Yes. The Notre Dame game will be rocky but there will be flashes. By the time OU rolls around the stage will be set for this system to make a name for itself. Texas has a young QB but he is a baller in the making. Remember that you heard it heard it from me, bc the media is going to remind you guys over and over how this kid came from a family of a sooners and your board is going to beat a dead horse RE: why weren't we on this kid. It's going to get annoying for ya'll. I dont make monetary bets over the internet but I'm all for sig bets or something of the like

9 times out of 10, $ooners don't own up to bets when they lose. Even sig bets. They just slink off.

Anything during summer is 100% guessing and assumptions. That's not taking a shot at you, that goes for everyone. I think the jury is still out on Strong. If y'all have another so so year do you think he will be on the hot seat ?

 

[Okie70]

Never thought I would see the day OU and UT fans got in a cat fight over who would get Baylor recruits. New era, I guess. Although looks like it may finally pass.

Strong has two years baring a complete disaster.

 

[Belldozer1]

If OU beats Texas this year it'll go a long way towards making America great again. I think that's something we can all agree needs to happen, wouldn't you agree friends? Let's make it happen

 

[obviouslyZRH]

Well I for one am glad to see Heisenberg and LonghornSoldier dropping the argument for all our sakes.

I have a lot hope for this team and expect to see some great things next year, but I've also thought that the last 5 years in a row. I'm tired of big expectations. My first 2 years at UT were the Colt glory days (and first years I cared about football), so I've gone into every game thinking we would win, someway somehow. That feeling has been fading in recent years. The upsets we've given OU have been good and felt good and gave me some hope. All signs point upward, but I want to keep my hopes grounded in reality and corrected for 5 years of overprediction. An 8-4 season next year would be good and, along with these recruiting classes, would get me drinking the coolaid again.

Phil Steele has OU being pretty equal to Texas this year for being young in the two deep. http://www.philsteele.com/blogs/2016/JUNE16/DBJune24.html

Why are you assuming that? Under Strong, when Texas played OU, Texas has been better in the trenches.

 

[Scholz]

Agreed. They seem very desperate to land Hudson for example.

 

[Son of Wasatch]

Am I the only person that thinks the VY class was terribly overrated?

Texas signed 6 5'star players in that class, 1 never made it on campus, 1 flunked out, and 1 had injuries that ended his career before he ever made an impact. Besides Vince, Blalock had a very good career and was a high draft pick. Rod Right was the 5'star DT that ended up having a great career. That was 3 hits and 3 misses.

Of the 4'star guys, the hits were Lyle Sendline, Casey Studdard, and Dave Thomas. Marginal hits were Selvin Young, Aaron Harris, and Larry Dibbles. I call them marginal because they were starters but weren't the impact players that the previous 3 were. Now I will make a special mention of two guys, Aaron Ross and Chase Pittman. Aaron was part of this class, but didn't academically qualify so he went back to high school and came in in January. Chase came to Texas after his brother Cole was killed, it must have been a really tough experience for him and he transferred. He became a very very good player for LSU and won a MNC with them right after Texas did.

The 4'star misses in this class include: Albert Hardy, Tully Janszen, Marco Martin, Robert Timmons, Garnet Smith, and Michael Williams.

Of the 7 guys signed in that class that ranked 3'star or 2'star, only Brian Robison made an impact, the rest were fodder.

So out of a class of 28 kids, there were 12 hits and 16 misses. What made that class so special was that out of the 12 hits there was one legend and one borderline legend (Dave Thomas).

I actually like the 2005 class much better. 14 signees but way more than half were either impact or marginal impact players. And one legend. Colt McCoy, Quan Crosby, Roy Miller, Michael Houston, Aaron Lewis, Henry Milton, Jamal Charles, Michael Finley, Ishie Odugweu, and Roddrick Muckelroy.

that would be 10 out of 14 hits. That was a damn good class.

Texxxxas read my post again..... you are confused

Gotcha...as in not being better than Texas, but being better than they were last season.

 

[OULegacy76]

Ya lol. My bad

 

[Heisennberg]

You sure spend a lot of time over here on a team's website that doesn't concern you, twelve toe.

You should see how much time I spend on the coke vs pepsi forums

It is going to be crickets on this site again this year for OU fans

Texas was physically the better team than OU last year. OU got manhandled. Which is what the RRR is always about, physical game won/lost in the trenches. All those guys are back and bigger and better. Texas is vastly improved on offense and at the skill positions. I'm not concerned about OU and will not be surprised when we beat them by a couple TDs plus.

I think they were just better for one game. If texas was as good all season as they were for that one game in october, they would have went undefeated. Instead they had one great performance, then proceeded to look like children against isu ,wvu and then forgot to play D against ttech. So it doenst show me texas learned too much from that game. OU on the other hand, they went on 7 game win streak, so I think it's important to note what each team took out of that game- It lit a fire under OU's ass and it showed that texas had blown their load early. Have you seen fast and the furious? Too soon junior.

elderberry - see Monty Python and the Holy Grail lol

Ah, well, my father smells of elderberries!

I'd love a RRR avatar bet with you. But would you even accept?? I have a few ideas as to what avi I'd love to see you using.

Many a team has failed spectacularly when they put all their eggs into the true freshman qb basket. I am not sure if it could get much worse than 11-14 over the last couple years, but you seem to be expecting a hell of a lot out of a completely unknown quantity, having never played a down of college ball. Doesnt matter how good the freshman is coming out of high school, there's a reason why programs rarely name them starters, it's usually because of a lack of quality options. Either way, i will be glued to my tv set for the ND game.

If he doesnt make a bowl, I bet his seat gets red hot, piping hot potato hot.

I dont dislike that chart, i think its relevant. But me personally I also like the chart showing total returning starts, I think that can glean some significant information too. OU was one of the worst last year i think they returned like 20 something starts, which was bottom of the barrel in the whole country. This year not too much better with 32, good for 113th. Tx is not too far ahead with 49 at 91st. Interestingly osu is #10 at 101 returning starts. Should be interesting.

If Strong does not make a bowl this year he will be gone. Hot seat won't matter. I think this is the first year of many that will get better and better. This year I expect 8 or 9 wins....and not be blown out.....I think that is very doable. Next year Texas will be in the discussion as a pick for Conf Champ.

ou is #1 in terms of teams that suck that Texas plays this year.

Fair enough, I personally think 8 is their ceiling and that that they'll have 3 losses by october 8. Then they'll make a nice strong run , winning 4-5 in a row after the OU game, making people think theyve turned a corner. Then lose a winnable game against tcu. If they go bowling i will be rooting for them!

I think i read that in the bible or something

 

[TexExSpur]

Is OU the least experienced Big 12 team entering 2016? ...and he ranks them 3rd?

They weren't very good last year and I doubt they'll be much better in 2016. Lucked into a few good situations versus Baylor and TCU and got dismantled once again by Clemson while not showing up against Texas in Dallas.

Way to ignore the point per usual. Why spend every day over here if we don't matter and yawn?

I've been burned too many times by lying $ooners not owning up when they lose. I don't do it anymore. It's only downside for me. You scumbags always just slither away when you lose.

 

[OULegacy76]

I see 4 or 5 losses . I think they make a bowl

 

[swVAHorn]

Wow! I didn't think ou would lose that many. But if you say so.

 

[OULegacy76]

I think Texas loses to Ou, OSU and ND. Plus one more vs the likes of TCU, tech or Baylor.

Naw.. Texas beats ND, sweeps the state of okie and smashes baylor and tcu only to fall to Tech to keep us from running the table... maybe drop one to k-state too... but i dont think we lose more than 2 or 3 total this year.

Why did we have to lose to tech....i hate losing to them and I hear to much chatter from my cousins that went there. We get revenge and beat tech!

LOL we lose to tech bc we lose a game we should win... plus that Mahomes kid is dangerous... one of the few QBs in the Big 12 that scares me.... although we could beat tech and just drop one to k-state... either way I dont see more than 3 losses for the year.

We have had those times with tech you are right....mahomes scrambles and malik lays him out not to run ever again out the pocket the whole game
