Taking out your frustrations from that shocking loss against Oregon against Auburn is disrespectful but who amongst us?

Maybe you should've brought some of that out against Oregon.

Bounced back strong
No more stumbles

even the best slip up sometimes

Taking out your frustrations from that shocking loss against Oregon against Auburn is disrespectful but who amongst us?

they just had the misfortune of being next

Maybe you should've brought some of that out against Oregon.

now I see how annoying my "score more goals" comments are in soccer

2031 Week Seven Preview - #5 Oklahoma (4-1) @ #9 Texas (4-1)

Boone Tillman // Sooner Born • Published: October 10th, 2031

It's that time of year again, folks. The air is turning crisp, the State Fair is in full swing, and it's football time in Dallas, Texas. The Longhorns' loss to the Georgia Bulldogs took a bit of the bite out of this matchup, but as far as I'm concerned, it added another level of desperation.

Both Oklahoma and Texas already sport losses this year and a second loss this early in the season will put either program on the brink of fighting for their postseason lives.

We'll get with Coach Leon after the graphic to talk about the magnitude of the matchup, a surprising late-scratch, and if we're going to see more of the same from the Sooners' offense after their explosive effort against Auburn.

Schooner Scoop

BT: "It's time for yet another Red River Shootout. In years past one, or sometimes both of the clubs, came into the game undefeated with a top-five ranking. And while this year still boasts the fifth and ninth-ranked teams, each sports a loss early in the season. What does that do to up the ante on the intensity when both teams know a second loss puts them on the brink?"

AL: "We should always be playing desperate against our biggest rival, but you can't deny the optics. A loss by either of us makes the rest of the season must-win. We need to make sure we keep our flexibility, keep our foot down, and power through Dallas with a victory."

BT: "What's the word on Martin D'Imperio, whom I'm being told is a late scratch for tomorrow's game?"

AL: "Martin is being suspended for a game for disciplinary reasons. It's a matter we're addressing internally and doesn't need to be discussed further. When we take the field against Vanderbilt next week, we fully expect Martin to be practiced and ready."

BT: "Last one, Coach. After a frustrating three-interception performance against Oregon, Markelle Nickey bounced back in a big way. What does the offense need to do in order for that trend to continue?"

AL: "Execute on first down. We can't be facing second and third-and-long if we want to keep Nickey in rhythm. Once you start needing big plays, instead of taking them when they come, you're asking for trouble. We do that and I love our chances."

I'm not going to wax poetic this week, folks. I hate Texas, loathe Lane Kiffin, and can't wait to see a third helping of BBQ'd Longhorn courtesy of Leon and Co.

Texas has an explosive offense, but an equally porous defense. As is the case in most games, we have the defensive advantage and I expect that to propel us to victory.

Texas 24, Oklahoma 31.

Can't stumble here. Don't know if James would ever let that go.
