View from the Cheap Seats-Red River War

How sweet it is

Sipping a little Kool Aid tonight, just a little.

i thought the 3rd down stat was great at the game, but 6 of 6 in the red zone is even more impressive!  After 2 losses, i hope we don't take anyone lightly, but when we are clicking we can play with anyone.

I agree the Sooners flat out QUIT.....but so did their fan base, Tim Cowlishaw of the DMN showed a video as he panned around the stands and there were complete sections that had emptied out. Sooner fans once again proved they are great front runners, but are poor at taking their beat downs

Dallas must have been a ghost town Sat night because their fan base quietly slithered out of town north on IH35 without so much as a wimper, probably a lot of vendors having two for 1 sales on all the merchandise they got stuck with

my question is where are all the so called experts that had them ranked in the Top Ten in the early season polls

From the stands, the OU side was about one-third full by the start of the fourth quarter and continued.  I took panoramas of the stadium to highlight the full Texas side with the near empty OU side.

Enquiring minds want to know.

Nothing better than over ranked land thieves and ACES, plummeting down the polls as each week goes by.

For the record OU started #9 and ACES started #6.

Neither should be ranked this week.

Well in fairness to ou, I've seen it both ways where fans have left earlier. Be that said, it's always better when it's the ou side leaving early!  ?

Good write up again. OU with out their QB is worse team since Blake was coach. Looks like Venables will last as long as Blake.

As for ATM they scored more points vs Bama so they are better?

Another easy win next game then road gets rocker.

atm lost by 4 and we lost by one.  We also were better against the spread so no way!  Alabama tried to give the game to atm, but still one won.  I love Jumbo saying they played them tough.  4 fumbles and two missed FG by bama, but we played them tough

You donot lnow how a aggie thinks. Then neither do they.

in fairness to OU they were without their QB and they had some injuries in the secondary. ...However....when Bill Parcells was coaching the Cowboys and the Cowboys were going in to a rare playoff with many injuries. He told the team..." I am sure of 2 things...one, they are going to make us play the game anyway....and no one will feel sorry for us."

I do wish they'd do away with preseason polls. The being wrong is one thing, bigger problem is that once you set a ranking, you don't want to drop a team down unless they lose. 

They will keep pumping out rankings though, because it is great content to put out that gets lots of clicks.

In fairness to them, they didn’t compete. They didn’t try. That’s on them and the coaching staff. They have to live with it.
