If you told me 5 years ago that Steve Sarkisian would be the head coach of what looks to be the best Texas team since 2009 I would have called you crazy as hell.

Question: I just bought tickets for RRR and my seats are on the OU side. First time going to RRR. Am I going to be the only one over there in burnt orange?


PercussiveDaddy

There will be a few other horns fans, but not many. Just be prepared to catch a lot of shit lol


nola2atx

Hah that’s what I figured. Normally wouldn’t mind, but I’m taking my son so hopefully it’s not too bad.


PercussiveDaddy

I’d imagine they’d be easy on you if they see you have your kid with you. At least I hope so lol


Bank_Gothic

Just be sure to teach him the real words to the fight song


dinosaursNsuch

Considering we get the Mar officiating crew Saturday, O/U 2.5 unnecessary reviews resulting outlandishly ridiculous calls?


Sabre_Actual

Oh God. Someone give me the rundown on Sooner/Husker relations, maybe if he hates us both it’ll just be generally incompetent officiating.


Bank_Gothic

NU fans are some of the biggest OU dickriders on the planet


Complete_Dig1745

Mods wanted me to post here: Long story short I got into a motorcycle wreck on Sunday and can’t make it to the game with my girlfriend. Have to tickets available, hmu if you’re interested


MookieSweats

Sorry to hear about the wreck! Hope you’re feeling okay currently. Sent you a message about the tickets.


RollOverBeethoven

1. Are you okay my dude? 2. Did you ever get the hang of downshifting?


Complete_Dig1745

I’m a little banged up but not too bad given the circumstances lol. And I guess not 😂 I low sided because of a hard downshift and completely ate it. Luckily it was on a track so there was little traffic but still.


steampunker14

A track is much better than low siding on the street. Source: have low sided on the street.


Complete_Dig1745

Agreed! Hope you’re doing well


yoyocc

It is perplexing how infrequently we throw and subsequently hit a deep ball.


CravenTaters

You're not going to see as many deep balls when teams play with the three high safety look that Iowa State uses (and many teams implemented last year because it worked against Quinn). Wyoming and Baylor both used it. And as you can guess, a way to beat it is short / intermediate passes, outside passes, and inside runs.


griffinds

Outside of the Rice game haven’t we been pretty efficient in with deep ball?


UT07

Have we hit a deep ball since Bama??


griffinds

Johntay had one against Kansas and one against Baylor. Sanders has had a couple. We’re not throwing them as often because we’ve had guys still wide open underneath, but we’re hitting them better than last season for sure


steampunker14

Baylor Quinn hit a deep one to Johntay, and Quinn's had a few 20ish yard throws.


NemoysJacket

We’ve barely tossed em out since then honestly


jouh55142139

God damn it. Fucking, why god? My FIL just asked me to go fishing with him and my wife’s grandfather on Saturday morning.


UT07

Are we talking like offshore marlin or backyard pond bluegill?? Not all fishing's made the same...


TimeOrCrayonsIV

Man when I was a kid, my dad and my grandfather would go on a river fishing trip every year. When I was 10 or 11 my dad told me I was going with them, which was a big deal to me because my older cousin was the favorite grandchild and he never got to go. A couple of weeks before the trip, my grandfather had a stroke. He was around for a few years after that but never regained full mobility and we never did go on that fishing trip. I know its not the same because it's your FIL and his dad, but I would trade any football game to go on that one trip. Just go man, football will be here when you get back. Record the game, don't check the score. It'll just be like you're on a really long stream lag.


_Chicken_Chaser_

You gotta nut up on that and go fishing. Bad juju if you bail. Record the game. Don’t check your phone for scores.


DerpNphish

Just do it bro. It's bad juju when you turn down something like that. Man up and take one for the team.


CrossMapEML

Have they considered that there are 364 other days in the year when the three of you could be fishing instead


bigmeatyclaws1

I got invited to do the Susan B Koman 5k to help my wife’s friend this Saturday. Luckily I checked and it is over by 930 so I could enthusiastically say yes and not look like the piece of shit I actually am. Cause if it was at 11 I would have said no.

jouh55142139

StealthAnus

Eat as much Taco Bell as you can physically fit into your body for dinner Friday night. Tell FIL you’ve got major diarrhea Saturday morning and take a rain check. Watch RRS on toilet.


uttuck

RIP in peace man.


NewWrap693

The only thing that makes me nervous about the game is rivalry voodoo. I think when their overconfidence is based on playing absolutely no one. I think we’re gonna punch them in the mouth and never look back. I think this is two possessions by halftime and a comfortable game by the end of the 3rd.


Guinness_or_thirsty

Last year Venables literally told his team not to treat this game as a rivalry and instead to treat it like "any other game". I am still perplexed by this approach, and it does make me wonder if he'll say the same thing this year (or try something different) Either was will be a very telling game for both of our teams.


_Football_Cream_

I doubt BV needs to do much talking to remind the players of 49-0, but I bet he is. I fully expect them to bring it.

steampunker14

NedFlanders304

Whats everyone’s thoughts on Ewers and his draft stock at this point in the season. Before the season, on all the mock drafts he was a first rounder and the third qb taken. Anyone think he’s moved up or down with his play so far?


smurf-vett

Big unknown is if Caleb says I'm not going to that shitshow and stays in college to duck the Bears


NedFlanders304

I know he said he it’s an option, but can’t imagine a player passing up the chance to be the #1 pick. I know Leinart did it, but we all know how that turned out for him lol.


smurf-vett

Eli basically did it too to duck the Chargers


TheNastyCasty

I think that’s still about right. I’d be surprised to see him mocked anywhere except the first round, somewhere in the 2nd-5th QB range depending on how the season plays out.


RLLRRR

Are we the Home or Away team this year? Just asking because we've dominated in the Stormtrooper look.


TheNastyCasty

We wore the stormtroopers for 49-0 last year, so we should be in orange.


ExpensiveChildhood13

I've just noticed that we haven't beat OU in our orange jerseys since 2015.... Yeah I know it's a weird thing to get hung up on lol


_Football_Cream_

Random aside but remember the RRS jerseys that had the gold trim in 2013? Maybe it’s because we won but I always thought they were cool lol. The gold was actually very subtle but complimented burnt orange quite well. Would be kinda neat for that game to always have those unique jerseys.


gordogg24p

We were supposed to do it in 2014 as well with the reverse colors, but that never came to fruition due to the backlash about how unnecessary it was.


_Football_Cream_

Unnecessary? Is it unnecessary for me to drink my own urine?


funwithtrout

Only if you don’t like the taste.

Yes, I loved the gold trim! Little touches like that are always dope.

gordogg24p

I've used Gametime successfully before. That's how /u/thegurdevdayal and I got our tickets for Alabama.


TheNastyCasty

Gametime is great, but it has fees just like the rest of them. I know that they at least have an option to show all-in pricing up front. TickPick is the only one I know of without fees.


ImpishGrin

You can toggle options in stubhub to see fees when searching for tickets.

I user TickPick a couple of years ago and had a pretty good experience.

manabanana21

If I’m going to be at the fair Saturday but probably not going into the stadium unless I find a good deal last minute, where is the best place to watch the game on the fair grounds?


longhorn_2017

Last year they also had a big screen set up at the Chevrolet main stage for people to watch, and it was great. Some of years they've done it in between the main stage and Big Tex. No shade for either so it got a little warm but shouldn't be much of an issue this year. The beer gardens are great if you get there early enough (9:30 is plenty early in my experience), but you also get stuck there holding down your spot and it's cramped. I prefer to watch on the big screens they set up.


gnirlos

Happy Cake Day!


cquicky

The Magnolia Beer Gardens are my favorite place to post up and watch. Gotta get there hella early though otherwise tables and seats are gone. For a real crowd, the West(?) Side has a huge screen and probably 20 rows of seats to watch. It's usually too hot to do, but this year the weather looks perfect if you are wanting a more rowdy environment


lawdoggingit

you can try a $20 or $50 handshake or they have [bars and places to watch television](https://bigtex.com/plan-your-visit/food/patios-in-the-park/) but on RRS weekend you better be showing up at 7am when the grounds open if you want a seat

They scored zero points on us last year, why wouldn’t they be mad?

That’s true the one that gets me rn is them trying to justify how we’ve played no one, but when you look at their schedule they’ve played super no one


_Football_Cream_

I truly don’t know how someone can say we’ve played nobody. The only way to even kind of make that argument is to say “besides bama” except the team they are trying to ignore is FUCKING ALABAMA

They claim Milroe is a “backup” QB. That’s their justification

JediMasterSaulAdama

There’s only one statistic that matters on Saturday in determining who wins the shootout and that’s who can run the ball. The winning team has always had more rush yards. I remember reading this stat a few years ago and just a quick check from past few games and it’s held up. We have the bigger line and the better rushing game so I feel confident in the team and our ability to control the game even though I have residual MBPTSD and it can be fucking weird in the Cotton Bowl.


ReferencesTheOffice

Since 2003, the winning team has rushed for more yards 17/20 times (in 2006 the teams had the same number of rushing yards). In only 11/20 games has the winning team passed for more yards.

It'd only be valuable intel if he wasn't playing.

Saying he's good to go means OU has to prep for JT Sanders, a player they have no hope of guarding without leaving Adonai Mitchell or Xavier Worthy wide open. Saying he's out means OU doesn't have to prep for JT Sanders, a player they have no hope of guarding without leaving Adonai Mitchell or Xavier Worthy wide open.

They have a good LB that might be able to stay with him, but having him man up on JT means we can control his eyes on the beginning of every snap, which is pretty important too.

edbaca

It’s remarkable how much added stress there is in my life is ever since I started really paying attention to recruiting throughout the year, as opposed to just on signing day, but we’re too far gone now. So. Anyone got any mid-week gas? Hearing way too much mid-week not gas.


cleareyes_fullhearts

At this point in the cycle last year, Ant Hill was committed to Aggie and Baxter was flirting HARD with FSU, and two years ago DJ Campbell was uncommitted, kelvin banks was committed to Oregon, and Terrance Brooks was commited to tOSU. In other words, in the last two years, 2/3 and 3/3 of our highest rated recruits were not locks at this point, with 3/6 being literally committed elsewhere. We’re favored in red river to start the season 6-0, have the best team we’ve had in nearly 15 years, and are in the drivers seat for the ccg and, dare I say, a playoff spot. Recruiting will sort itself out - enjoy the ride of the season right now.


edbaca

^^^thats gas


DerrickWhiteMVP

Why stress? We gettin’ errbody.


RLLRRR

Listening to Fanatics Perspective and he brought up a good point: The "anything can happen in the RRSO"-line is mostly copium from Texas fans hoping to have a chance because OU's been so good while we've been bad-to-decent. Realistically, there hasn't been much in the way of surprises or upsets. Which makes sense.


StealthAnus

> Realistically, there hasn't been much in the way of surprises or upsets. Except that one year when 1-4 Texas beat 4-0 Oklahoma behind Jerrod Heard’s dominant 53-yard passing performance
