OU opened up as a 14-15 point favorite (depending on where you look) over Texas, which was much higher than I was expecting after Saturday. (Vegas Insider)

Mack Brown to SMU would be hilarious. Too bad it’s a shamelessly transparent effort to keep Macky in the public consciousness by his urrent rep and former Texas big money donor mouth piece. (DMN)
This Ole Miss security guard don’t take no mess.

A week ago I wasn’t concerned about anyone on our schedule, now I’m concerned about everyone. The bright side is texsa still sucks!
LOL! Me too.
i thought the exact same thing. But then i realized we are still good even very good. the teams we play down the stretch that are good we play at home. Im thinking this loss opened the young men’s eyes and we will roll up everyone the rest of the way.
You’re right but I always go into panic mode after the first loss.
For me it’s not panic mode, just reality setting in. I’m not starting a hate TK wagon- they are simply young men playing a game so there is no reason to hate them. I am now a TK skeptic. The “but he still finds ways to win” montra no longer camouflages his inadequacies.
and the dude is soo nice! lol I listened to his turn at the presser today after Bob, and its so hard not to like the guy. He KNOWS he needs to work on sh*t. Def rooting for him to make some leaps..
I don’t want to leave my office and have to deal with all the osu guys in the building talking trash. im still depressed over the game……………………………………………..
I already did that last night. Not fun. Just have to button it til Bedlam.
Feel you man, I don’t have those annoying pricks to deal with luckily but still it is extremely depressing after losses (that too to teams that have no reason beating us).
Jordan, i just wanted to commend you on your postgame thoughts post….I think that should be nominated for post of the year…bravo Mr. Esco
appreciate you saying so
I’m going to second BR’s post below. Everything you stated…..I felt. Great read as always Jordan.
I appreciate you both saying so. I’ve kinda taken a back seat to the other guys here w/ the postgame thoughts and stuff, so it felt good to get that out yesterday. I needed it.
You and many of us as well…tesxa sucks
Can’t WAIT to get to Dallas and get last Saturdays debacle cleared from my memory!
Boomer Sooner!
Anybody looking for two OU/ut tickets? I have two that I likely need to get rid of due to having some folks back out on me. Section 138. Would like $275 for the pair ($25 over face, which I paid as the shipping charge).
What’s your email address? I can take those off your hands. 🙂
Sorry Tonya, just now able to respond. I sold them about the time I posted this, and have been out on the golf course since then, and couldn’t get my phone to log in, so I could post. Apologize for not letting you know earlier.
No worries! Managed to find some reasonable tickets on Stubhub last night so I’ll be there. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
So we need Baylor to squeak out a win vs tcu this week. Then do we need tcu to drop another close game to osu or kstate?
Meanwhile I hope to see heupels best play calling since the sugar bowl.
Ummm after getting a chance to watch the game, I don’t think we’re giving enough credit to TCU’s O-Line.
Wish we had a CB who could tackle like the security guard.
Although the lose sucks big time, as I, along with a lot of you, had hopes that this OU team would run the tables, I have somehow not taken this lose that badly. WIth all the other Top teams losing as well, I feel OU still has a legit shot to make it. Run the table and I feel they still get in. Still that play calling and shaky offense needs to get straightened out for this Texas defense who has suprisingly looked good. Boomer Sooner!
Kind of surprising, but I too am taking this loss pretty well. I thought that this team as a whole was very good, even NC caliber. However, we do have weaknesses – RB’s are not great yet (could be in time), only 1 dependable WR, no TE threat, QB who is on a leash, DB’s are very suspect. OL, DL, LB are pretty solid and Hunnicutt is money in the bank. Punt return is non-existent but KR is very good.
We are going to need a lot of help to get in. TCU is going to have to lose twice (as they have the tie breaker) and we will have to win out but this can certainly happen.

The losses described in the articles sums up every fans frustration the last few years. We have picked a team to lose to each year (MIZ, A&M, Texas, KSU, Tech, Baylor and now TCU). And the frustrating part is to listen to these dumb wit analysts describe that these programs have now become powerhouses since they beat us once. Damn!
Didn’t see the ISU deal. What was the call that screwed them?
I completely disagree with the claim that we only have 1 proven receiver. Durron makes tough catches. Our weakness is the slot, but that isn’t entirely the receiver’s fault. Our other flaw is not giving 3 or 4 other guys a chance to play much.
Remember, last year TK had some poor games with Saunders, Shepherd, Reynolds and Bessler.
I would like to think that our 4th string guys can catch. Durron’s problem, though not as much as the other guys below him, seems to be getting separation. we are going to have to trot out some of the big freshmen and see if they can give Trevor something to throw at.
