OU really went from being outscored 83-3 the last 2 years in this rivalry, to walking off the #1 team in the country. What the actual fuck

Ranking does not matter in the Cotton Bowl. Anyone can beat anyone

Is that what you would blame for SMU's inconsistency, the fact that we used that place as our sometimes or definitive home for about 70 years of SMU's history?

I'm not typically one to believe in superstition, but you have to at least acknowledge that with as much outright hatred exchanged there over the decades that it might be a bit cursed.

Probably the my favorite game I've ever attended, even more than the DG and Caleb wins. The atmosphere after the pick six was off the charts.

u/NotActuallyMeta Texas Longhorns • Rice Owls 7d ago

Watching on TV, the shift after the blocked point was palpable and then after the pick 6 it might as well been a home game for yall

There was such a momentum shift when they started getting into it on the sidelines with Satenga. OU crowd and players got hype af after that

Sooner Magic brother. It was cosmic justice for how much preemptive shit the Shorthorns have been talking

u/BreezyMcWeasel Oklahoma Sooners 7d ago

This game is often wild. Not always, but it does frequently happen, both ways.

I did NOT think this would be one of those years.

I don't know what to do with my hands

u/Muffinnnnnnn Florida State • New Mexico 7d ago

I mean Texas was #1 due to their good résumé, not because they were the true best team in the country. That being said, I'd have them somewhere in the 10-15 range, which is still WAYYYY better than Oklahoma could have expected to defeat this year lol
