OU haters conveniently ignoring that Mateer just came back from surgery 48 weeks ago. Once his thumb heals in 2-3 more years he’s gonna be a problem

u/MissileWaster Oklahoma Sooners Sep 12 '26

Okay, this is my favorite comment, nobody else is topping this one

u/SkubalIsPitching Michigan • Oregon State Sep 12 '26

I can think of a more clever response. Just give me a second.

u/cwood1973 Texas Longhorns • Houston Cougars Sep 12 '26

No way you can come up with a better comment in 1 second

47

u/Novabulldog Virginia Tech • Maryland Sep 12 '26

Yeah, it’d be a real Hail Mary.

31

u/dyeager2001 Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

In 2-3 years he'll be with LSU

34

u/timnotep Michigan • Wright State Sep 12 '26

You'll all feel silly when he leads LSU to an ACC championship.

u/A_burners Sep 12 '26

Damn what a day for you! Unbelievable

Flair checks out.

u/Daddioster Texas A&M Aggies • Southwest Sep 12 '26

sucks its from a sip, but agree; funny comment

192

u/StarvedRock314 Texas Longhorns • Illinois Fighting Illini Sep 12 '26

To refine last year's narrative: after every TD pass, he was perfectly healthy. After every interception, the thumb was clearly to blame.

15

u/F1_revolution Texas Longhorns Sep 12 '26

The one with no receiver in the area against Alabama in the CFP was hilarious!

470

u/SexAndKennedy Texas Longhorns • Houston Cougars Sep 12 '26

Without the thumb injury, Mateer would have developed into some hybrid form of Mike Vick, Dan Marino, and Tom Brady.

264

u/Zorlai Sep 12 '26

Brady’s elite 1k rushing ability, Vick’s pocket passing, and Marino’s throw on the run skills.

36

u/Geno0wl Ohio State • Cincinnati Sep 12 '26

You know, now that you say that I really can't recall ever seeing a highlight of Marino throwing on the run.

16

u/No-Donkey-4117 Stanford Cardinal Sep 12 '26

Marino got rid of the ball before he needed to run.

3

u/uscrash USC Trojans • USC Trojans Sep 13 '26

But he was a shitty holder for kicks.

5

u/DeadDropCourier Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 13 '26

Laces out!

3

u/uscrash USC Trojans • USC Trojans Sep 13 '26

Your gun is digging into my hip.

13

u/apexrogers Sep 12 '26

Don’t forget John Elway’s helicopter Denver’s experimental airplane skills

6

u/ASadDrunkard Iowa State Cyclones • MIT Engineers Sep 12 '26

Too soon

3

u/AaronRedwoods Colorado Buffaloes Sep 12 '26

We can rebuild him…

…but we don’t want to spend a lot of money.

1

u/ninjas_in_my_pants Notre Dame • Missouri Sep 13 '26

Fuckin' genius.

14

u/OHPAORGASMR Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 12 '26

Sounds like Deshone Kizer

10

u/wallnumber8675309 Utah Utes • Georgia Bulldogs Sep 12 '26

The animal husbandry of Vick, Marino’s ability to make sure the laces are out and Tom Brady’s ability to deflate a ball

2

u/Ivegotabadname Sep 12 '26

Well he's got Elway's helicopter checked

2

u/GP_ADD Alabama • Mississippi State Sep 12 '26

So basically Deshone Kizer?

u/Character_Point_9745 Oklahoma • Red River Shootout Sep 12 '26

Fuck me that’s good 😭🤣

u/Amen_ds Michigan Wolverines • Big Ten Sep 12 '26

Kid has a lot a grit and gives chill af. I would definetly buy a used car from him. GGs

8

u/Icy_Suspect_3735 Oklahoma Sooners Sep 12 '26

That wouldn't work. He's only good for 1 drive per day.

2

u/Pizzaplan3tman Pittsburgh Panthers • Wisconsin Badgers Sep 12 '26

I have a feeling he’s gonna be a great NFL Back up/ 3rd string QB. Cause he’s got a lot of moxy and grit. Which can keep you in a locker room for a long time. I wanted Mateer and Oklahoma to suck this year. But this was a tough loss.

I also don’t know why Oklahoma found something that worked on offense to start the 3rd and then just completely abandoned it the rest of the game??

Respect to Michigan though they turned it around and gave themselves a chance at the playoffs with this win

87

u/Outrageous_War4610 Oklahoma Sooners Sep 12 '26

Always have thought our excuses for BV getting dominated in RRS were pathetic. Texas competed every year in that game late in the 2010s when they had horrific qb play

49

u/swammeyjoe Texas Longhorns • Verified Referee Sep 12 '26

We trotted out Tyrone Swoopes and Case McCoy and win by double digits.

Of course Vince Young also lost a RRS by double digits, so I'm not really sure what the moral of the story is. Maybe QB doesn't really matter? Lol.

13

u/Outrageous_War4610 Oklahoma Sooners Sep 12 '26

No one is perfect in rivalry games. But if you go 1/4 in rrs and all the losses were demolitions, you better pull a Ryan day and win a championship. 3 humiliating losses to texas should be an immediate firing

3

u/stinkydooky Oklahoma • North Texas Sep 12 '26

It mattered today

1

u/LotsOfMaps Oklahoma • Red River Shootout Sep 13 '26

Hey, hey, he only lost by 12.

He also didn't score a damn point, but facts are facts

1

u/Jewniversal_Remote Oklahoma Sooners • Big 12 Sep 14 '26

that last sentence is the only thing I can tell myself to hold out hope for this year's game lol. really all I care about at this point

u/JDraks Michigan Wolverines • College Football Playoff Sep 12 '26

Hope you make this an even better day for both of us in a few hours

u/trueAnnoi Nebraska • $5 Bits of Broken Chair Tro… Sep 12 '26

Texas and Michigan allied? What a terrible world

13

u/djbernie Michigan • North Carolina Sep 12 '26

Enemy of my enemy type thing

14

u/JDraks Michigan Wolverines • College Football Playoff Sep 12 '26

We're both football blue bloods with strong academics, a hated red O rival in a bordering state, have an in-state cultlike younger brother for a secondary rival, and have a historic but not really relevant or heated rivalry with a team that used to be a powerhouse but hasn't been for a long time. We're basically mirrors of each other

5

u/trueAnnoi Nebraska • $5 Bits of Broken Chair Tro… Sep 12 '26

I was just playing, but I wanna know about that last point for each team

8

u/JDraks Michigan Wolverines • College Football Playoff Sep 12 '26

Minnesota and Arkansas. Michigan and Texas each dominate the all-time series against their respective opponent who's fallen on hard times on the field lately and hasn't won a natty since the 60's, but we have a rivalry with them nonetheless for mostly nostalgic reasons.

(I just like bringing up the comparison between us and Texas whenever I can because it's weirdly fitting.)

5

u/trueAnnoi Nebraska • $5 Bits of Broken Chair Tro… Sep 12 '26

Ahh yes the little brown jug. I didn't expect you to say Minnesota cause they beat Nebraska regularly, and you said "irrelevant" Sad corn noises

Texas vs Arkansas is a weird one tho, Arkansas has and will always be a shitshow. Worse than Texas, and that's saying a LOT

2

u/CyanideNow Iowa Hawkeyes Sep 12 '26

Is MSU really “cult like” though?

3

u/RealEmperorofMankind Michigan Wolverines • Marching Band Sep 12 '26

Not really. Kind of an inferiority complex though. 

2

u/JDraks Michigan Wolverines • College Football Playoff Sep 12 '26

TAMU is definitely much worse about it but MSU can be

2

u/the_bob_of_marley North Carolina Tar Heels Sep 13 '26

You have brought great dishonor to your school on this day. Your line will be cursed for three generations.

u/Nomahs_Bettah Michigan Wolverines • Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 12 '26

You're exiled from the Michigan fandom.

u/Jecht315 Michigan Wolverines • EKU Colonels Sep 12 '26

We don't claim him. Fuck OSU no matter who they play

u/blatantninja Texas Longhorns • Slippery Rock The Rock Sep 12 '26

I'm very happy that our blue brothers vanqueshed the land thieves but how could you let them in the endzone?!? Highly disappointing.

u/PlanoSteve21 Sep 12 '26

As an Aggie fan I will be rooting for the horns tonight. I can't stand Ohio state fans.

u/broken-machine Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

That was the first TD they’ve allowed this season so far. It was going to happen eventually.

u/cogginsmatt Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

Sorry bud Ted Cruz was repping Longhorns on College Gameday, they're going to the shadow realm

23

u/dub47 Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout Sep 12 '26

That dude is sitting in a box in the south end zone with Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick. Nightmare fucking blunt rotation right there.

We’re fucked.

18

u/PenisTip469 Texas Longhorns Sep 12 '26

This guy knows. Before Cruz i gave Texas a 50-50 shot. After Cruz, it's going to be a bloodbath OSU 27 - Texas 12

u/cogginsmatt Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

I think I first picked up on it the second time he cursed the Astros, and then saw he's also been a massive curse to both A&M and Texas

7

u/whiskey_warrior TCU Horned Frogs • North Texas Mean Green Sep 12 '26

He was at the natty game (that never got played and definitely doesn’t have an embarrassing final score) in TCU gear. Didn’t make it to the fiesta bowl, luckily

u/McGillicuddys Penn State Nittany Lions Sep 12 '26

Cancun has gone that far downhill?

u/Jecht315 Michigan Wolverines • EKU Colonels Sep 12 '26

A Texan repping a Texas team? I'm shocked. Shocked. Well not that shocked.

u/cogginsmatt Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

Google the Ted Cruz sports curse

u/NapoleonBlownapart9 Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 12 '26

I’ve always been a huge fan of your team when you say those things today.

u/cogginsmatt Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

I hate you guys but I'm not blind to the effect Cruz has on Texas teams

u/BuckeyeEmpire Ohio State • Penn State Sep 12 '26

This is the correct take. It wasn't the thumb... Dude actually is just not good.

u/vtc88 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 12 '26

u/willinaustin Texas Longhorns Sep 12 '26

I'm guessing the no-TD streak against us is gonna last for juuuuuuuust a bit longer.

u/bruiserbear22 Baylor Bears Sep 12 '26

Mateer is not good and never has been while at OU. He has proved that he doesn’t belong in the P4. If I am a OU fan I am pissed Venables didn’t bring in another portal QB after last year.

u/ChazTheSiteSeer Sep 12 '26

And the excuses begin…..

1

u/aaron21hardin Minnesota Golden Gophers Sep 12 '26

So basically, Oklahoma can only be good if they have a massive QB advantage because it’s not like him playing with this situation meant Michigan had a lot better QB situation than them.  Michigan still has Bryce on is their quarterback so you’re just admitting that the rest of the team town is better for Michigan.

Of course, the Michigan take away from the game is that they still have Underwood and have to live with that.

Yeah, problem. Just not in the way people think.

u/dinosaurkiller Oklahoma Sooners Sep 12 '26

By now it’s clear the broken thumb permanently damaged his brain.

1

u/Rbespinosa13 Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

Serious talk, dude can’t even put on a helmet properly. It feels weird when a dude loses his helmet once per game, but mateer lost his like five times

1

u/Waddlow Sep 12 '26

Haha, no one has ever milked more excuses out of a thumb injury in the history of football.

Yea, he's a fine QB, but these guys treat him like he's 2019 Burrow.

Dr. Shin zapped any remaining talent in Mateer and gave it to Arch Manning.
