I’m 52 and I’d use that term, my kids are teenagers and that’s how they all talk, we all have to evolve to the world around us these days, no big deal really
Texas would have won in 2001 if Applewhite had started instead of Simms. Now 2003 was abysmal and I thought for certain they would bounce back in 2004 if Greg Davis hadn't handcuffed VY in with his play-calling.
Sorrell and Murphy may have something to say about that. Unfortunately for Gabriel, his all white uniform won’t be so tidy
This is my formal petition for Sark to name Ian Ratliff (#49), JT Sanders (#0), Thatcher Milton (#49), and Anthony Hill (#0) the captains this week.
I think that's one thing that a lot of Texas fans might be overlooking. There should be no question that Texas' offense is elite. I think there might be some remaining questions on defense, particularly the secondary. In Texas' five wins, they've had the benefit of playing an Alabama team that is going through their most criticized, unsettled quarterback situation in the Nick Saban era. In Texas' four other games, I think three of the opponents had their backup quarterbacks starting.
I'm not saying that Texas' defense isn't up to the challenge, I'm just saying that they haven't been tested against a really good quarterback yet. Just like Oklahoma hasn't been challenged by playing a really good team yet.
Being battle tested as a coordinator where you're in charge of just 1 side of the ball is completely different than being battle tested when you're the head coach making decisions on every aspect of the game. That's why not all coordinators make it as head coaches. They can't handle the pressure.
“JT looks great. He’ll be good to go Saturday,” Sarkisian said.
Wanna see sark dial some shit up, have a feeling he's got some juice saved up for this one specifically...
Look Oklahoma is good probably the second best team we'll play after Alabama. They're definitely better than last year. That being said there is no doubt in my mind that we'll win there just isn't.
Texas 31
Oklahoma 17
Texas 31
Oklahoma 17
Yeahi don’t think Venables wants to get involved in offensive play calling etc. Venables has come in and recruited lights out and better than Riley did, he’s going to start reaping those rewards in the very near future
Saturday will answer some questions for sure.
Texas has issues giving up the big play in the secondary. They struggle at K. They struggle with their offensive identity in the middle of the game. They struggle at LB beyond Ford and AHill rushing the passer late. They struggle with offensive RZ opportunities.
This game won’t be settled until the 4Q IMO
Big money bets took Texas at -4.5 then OU at +6.5. They think it’s gonna be a 5-6 point game I guess
