You can always count on Texas to lose to an OU team they have no business losing to.

[u/thebusterbluth → u/Riddiku1us]

RIP Arch Manning's Heisman campaign.

I mean it died a few weeks ago, but it's still sad.

[u/wowthisislong → u/thebusterbluth]

Its been dead for well over a year

[u/ripkin05 → u/wowthisislong]

dude would be a 4-7th rounder at best if not for his last name.

[u/donthavearealaccount → u/ripkin05]

4th-7th? Quinn Ewers was a 7th rounder. Arch doesn't get drafted if his name isn't Manning.

[u/broccoli_d → u/thebusterbluth]

His heisman campaign used to be dead. It still is, but it used to be, too.

[u/NerdLawyer55 → u/broccoli_d]

Thanks Mitch

[u/SwassAttack → u/broccoli_d]

BAHAHAHAHAH MITCH HEDBERG!!!!! RIP IN PEACE AMIRITE?!? SO FKN FUNNY LMFAOOO

[u/Cogswobble → u/thebusterbluth]

Now listen, he can still be in the Heisman conversation as long as he spends the rest of the season without losing his last name.

[u/Sorta-Morpheus → u/thebusterbluth]

Someone is going to pay him a lot of money to be a bust in the NFL.

[u/PMmePrayerRequests → u/Sorta-Morpheus]

Is that the Cardinals' music I hear?

[u/Pizzaplan3tman → u/thebusterbluth]

I like Arch and he has some high upsides. Because majority of what you need to fix with him is mental side of the football. But he was never a serious Heisman candidate to anyone who really likes or watches College Football. It’s been Smith’s award to lose I feel like for majority of college football fans

[u/Candid_Banana_8820 → u/thebusterbluth]

😂 I think his chances of getting drafted took another serious hit

[u/WhiteChocolateReign → u/Candid_Banana_8820]

I admittedly don't spend much time keeping my ear to the ground in Austin. What do Texas fans think of him, by and large? Are they over the schtick or still ride n' die?

[u/Candid_Banana_8820 → u/WhiteChocolateReign]

I only know he is our ride n die this year....what else could it be. Not sure what you mean by "schtick". Arch is who he is. Hyped up too much before...yes obviously.

[u/Sil_Floor_4791 → u/thebusterbluth]

nah, texas fans were off that bandwagon a long time ago

[u/ShweatyPalmsh → u/thebusterbluth]

Dude he was ass before this game it just marketed it to the masses 

[u/kdeweb24 → u/thebusterbluth]

The only thing that had him in that conversation was his last name. Anyone that didn’t have a Longhorn bias, and watched the games, could tell you that he is a good, not great QB. The jock sniffers are still going to be scream-defending him until the day he retires from football. But, he has mid major talent at a blue chip school.

[u/DataDrivenPirate → u/thebusterbluth]

Honestly kind of funny that leading your team to a 21 point comeback against a top 5 team in week 2 generated almost no heisman hype for him, if anything Jeremiah Smith got more hype from it and he lost.

[u/LugubriousFootballer → u/Riddiku1us]

The reverse is true as well

[u/chinesemullet → u/LugubriousFootballer]

This game is a coin flip every year no matter how good either team is

[u/Inevitablewx → u/chinesemullet]

Hated it a few years ago, loving it today. Will hate it again in the future.

[u/SetOk2259 → u/chinesemullet]

Only time I would argue it wasn’t was when Dillon Gabriel got a concussion and our best option was running a TE out of the Wildcat 

[u/Riddiku1us → u/LugubriousFootballer]

I feel like it happens more often in OUs favour.

[u/motypl → u/Riddiku1us]

Doesn't always feel like that.

[u/big-plans → u/motypl]

Yeah not in my lifetime anyway

[u/LugubriousFootballer → u/Riddiku1us]

Probably depends who you support. That shit Charlie Strong Texas team embarrassed the Sooners in 2015, so it goes both ways. Really just an unhinged rivalry where records don’t matter.

[u/Captain_Nipples → u/LugubriousFootballer]

Was that the Case McCoy game? Best game that dude ever played.

[u/tjc815 → u/Captain_Nipples]

That question proves the point Kinda. Texas beat us as huge underdog two times in three years: 2013 and 2015.

[u/Captain_Nipples → u/tjc815]

There was a year where they beat us and we got the rematch as well in the Big 12 CCG

[u/Famine07 → u/Captain_Nipples]

Wasn't the Case McCoy game, it was the game where Texas ran the triple option the whole game and OU couldn't stop it. Wasn't a high scoring game but Texas would pick up like 8 yards on every play, was probably the most frustrating game I've ever watched.

[u/Captain_Nipples → u/Famine07]

Oh. I know exactly what game you're talking about

[u/MSUBulldog1Vol2 → u/LugubriousFootballer]

OKST beating OU after OU beat Texas after Texas beat Bama a couple years ago was crazy

[u/Sean_Gossett → u/LugubriousFootballer]

The RRR exists in a pocket dimension unrestricted by the bounds of normal causality. Records, expectations, talent, none of it means a damn thing in the face of the fickle whims of the football gods

[u/soonerwx → u/Riddiku1us]

It’s been a LONG time since that happened

[u/soonerman32 → u/Riddiku1us]

This is the first time that's happened since 1996.

[u/enricopallazo22 → u/Riddiku1us]

TBF, it goes both ways in this game.

[u/AeneasKurtz → u/Riddiku1us]

And viceversa

[u/lydiamoney → u/Riddiku1us]

and vice versa

[u/MoneyManx10 → u/Riddiku1us]

Can we be real though? OU had the better QB.

[u/ApplicationPale1049 → u/MoneyManx10]

Idk about that one honestly
