Texas and Oklahoma met for their annual gridiron clash and when it was all said and done the OU flag was planted firmly where it belongs, at midfield in the Cotton Bowl. The Sooners beat Texas for the fourth time in five years and Bob Stoops surpassed Barry Switzer's nine victories over the Longhorns to become Oklahoma's all-time winning coach against Texas.
As the Sooners were properly welcoming Charlie Strong to the Red River Rivalry (I think the Longhorns just had another false start), we wanted to dig in to see what their fans were saying during the game. To do that we decided to check in with the gang over at Burnt Orange Nation.
We'll start out with some typical pregame drivel. The answer is no, you aren't insane at all.
TEXAS!!!
am I insane for thinking we have a shot today?
No
You would’ve been insane if you thought we had a shot last year. :P
You fail all the time, but you aren't a failure until you start blaming someone else.

They apparently have a prophet over at B.O.N. as well.
I'm thinking today's game is closer than last week's game.
OU offense not as good as BU offense, and our defense should give Knight and co. fits. Not going to outright predict a win, but a closer loss than last week is my guess.
To err is human...but humans have such low standards.

This would become an ongoing theme through the day.
And false start to start the game
There isn't a single person in the world that has confidence in Big 12 officiating. The Horns were sweating out the early fumble that was returned for a score.
I can feel it.
They’re going to call inconclusive. This is the start of some horrid ineptitude from these refs we’re about to witness.
Don't think they overturn as not clear from replay.

Even after getting the call to go their way (and it was the right call), Texas fans weren't satisfied.

An early lead had Texas fans feeling pretty good.
I am optimistic...we got three out of what had to be the crummiest drive I've ever seen. At least three penalties and a fumble.

Another stellar job by our special teams

This is another true statement. Texas will only go as far as their defense can take them this year. They are the real deal!
OU with -4 yards on offense so far. Mercy me. Thanks Vance.

Pick Six for Zack Sanchez!
Words fail to describe
how truly inept this offense is. I don’t think it can come up with 17 points in 2 weeks, let alone the rest of this game. Really hard to watch.
Sux
Our offense is making my hangover worse.
The CB completely jumped the route. Predictable offense much?
Throw came in late so it was pretty easy to jump the route
Has to be absolutely demoralizing for our D.

Out gained OU by 249 yards on offense but are down 4.
Oh man, that just perfectly describes how this season is going.
the bad part for me
is im expecting them to eff it up..stupid plays have to stop

Adrian Colbert gets ZERO time on the field this second half.
Keep him in the locker room and have him watch the effort these other guys are giving. This is a coaching game for him.
The Texas defense was dominating OU. Seriously, they were!

Offense needs to stay on the field to keep giving them rest so they can slaughter OU’s offense.

Frustration starting to set in of for Texas fans.
Ballgame.
I can’t for the life of me figure out how every single week a team comes out flat after halftime. Can’t blame a tired defense this time.
We appear to suck at halftime adjustments.
We, like, adjust backwards or something.
To err is human...but humans have such low standards.
OU adjusted with the fast-tempo offense
defense too discombobulated. Makes you wonder why OU didn’t go up-tempo earlier
One thing you can say for the Mack Era
His coaches were great at halftime adjustments… though they often had a bunch to make.

Delay of game on Texas.
How many delay penalties have we had this year?
…or wasted timeouts due to delays?
More than any team should ever have
Either a fault of the 2 OC system or Swoopes understanding and relaying the play to the team.
Either way, it’s not good.
...and another!
Texas scores and we're all OK now.
Perfect!
Gets Swoopes a TD pass too!
Need the D to bring the fire back!
Defense needs a 3 and out here
I would prefer a pick 6 but that works too.
that or a TO & we actually could get back in this
