They’re calling this the longest bowling strike ever, if you believe it’s real and not doctored.

In the last clip… “That is a superb tackle”….things no one has said in TEX lately 🙂
The SB article was a good read and an in-depth breakdown. Of course we all hope TK was only showing a glimpse of what will be. Unfortunately for me, I’m in that ‘show me’ camp that will wait until the two UT games before agreeing that he indeed is ‘all that’. He may well be, but he has to have a line and some good decision making to stay healthy, too. A good run game that’s developing will certainly help.
Really happy for Millard, hope he flat tears it up in the NFL.
Sucks for the tennis team, they were so close but have to give them props for making their first appearance.
OU needs to keep up with Baylor and some other schools in the “cool” factor, that was a brilliant use of old turf. Let’s see what it looks like after a couple seasons of BBQ sauce and spilled beer though.
