Losing the Point of Attack
Texas has won the battle in the trenches against the Sooners for the last several years. Generally, the defensive line on each side tends to have the advantage and I'm suspicious that both schools are/were prioritizing pass protection both in recruiting and in player development. This year OU...
Texas/OU Sundry: 24 Hours to Kickoff
You'll always be Uncle Rico to me you slack jawed Okie Some stats from ESPN with a little fuzzy math but Manny Diaz sees right through it. Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones completes just less than 66 percent of his passes inside the pocket. Outside the pocket, he completes just more than 51...
Ground and Pound: How Texas Can Beat OU
The Sooners under Bob Stoops have made their hay with an aggressive, quick strike offense and physical defense that exploits known tendencies -- a combo that has led to some humiliating final scores. The offense has gone further in this direction since Kevin Wilson and Josh Heupel installed the...
Bob Stoops: We Don't Have To Play Texas
Bob Stoops told his weekly press gathering today that whenever the game of BCS Musical Chairs is over, if Texas and Oklahoma aren't in the same league, then "It isn't necessary," that the rivalry continue. About continuing to play Texas, Stoops told the media, "I don’t think that’s necessary....
Podcast #14: The One Where NorthDallasSooner Celebrates 25 Texas / OU Games
NorthDallasSooner took time away from luxuriating in the California wine country celebrating the big win to tell us a little about what he saw from his Sooners, our Longhorns and why he only drinks Screaming Eagle when he's at French Laundry. Hook 'Em! Subscribe on iTunes. Or use RSS. Or listen...
Texas Longhorns / Oklahoma Sooners Animated Drive Chart
Though I'd say some our drives might better be described as inanimate, this makes me laugh in a gallows humor sort of way. Our first drive is particularly inept. Very little solid line, lots of dashed lines. The first line is actually so short, it looks like a dashed line. As if we punted on...
Texas-OU 2010 Post Mortem- Defense Special Teams
The defense was trapped in a never-ending Groundhog's Day of fresh downs gifted to Oklahoma with dumb penalties, mental letdowns, and an initial inability to deal with tempo. OU should have been stopped cold on three of their scoring drives, but we (or occasionally the imaginative refs) offered a...
Longhorns Prevail in Contest of Gentlemanly Good Manners, 20-28
On Saturday, the Texas Longhorns prevailed over the Oklahoma Sooners in the annual contest of gentlemanly good manners between the two rival squadrons. Through four quartiles of footed ball, the Longhorns proved vastly superior to the Sooners in every phase of on-field etiquette, graciously...
Podcast #13: The One Where NateHeupel Stops By And Talks Texas/OU
Nate's attorney finally acquiesced on the final deal points freeing him up to podcast tonight. Late. That's OK because I start drinking the SUN before the game Texas / OU week so I am primed and ready. Scipio was apparently out chasing skirt so we had to go it alone. Good intel on the Sooners...
Keys To The Oklahoma Game
I can foresee three realistic scenarios for tomorrow's game. A close Texas win, in a defensive struggle. Say, 17-13. Or 3-2. A close Oklahoma win, in a defensive struggle. 17-13. A Oklahoma blowout win, resembling the UCLA game in which 4 turnovers and a couple of defensive lapses results in a...
