After this win, I will no longer refer to Colt McCoy as a “retarded field general”!! Colt McCoy has finally made me a believer. He has finally grown to be a solid quarterback. I guess God traded in his Sooner maroon for burnt orange huh Bean?? Now I will say this, there were some ummm *questionable* calls all day long, working in favor of both teams. There were also alot of calls that were not flagged. This was a poorly officiated game to say the least. This game is already one of the biggest rivalry games in college football, add in the fact that both teams come in ranked in the top 5, the officiating crew should have been top notch. I will gladly take this win, but I can also understand the frustration level about the refs. While we were watching the game, someone mentioned they were waiting for the crowd to change the chant from *OU Sucks*/*Texas Sucks* * to *The Refs Suck*!!
Both teams combine for over 800 yards of total offense, and both teams left it all out on the field. After this game, Bob Stoops and the Sooners are still one of the best programs in the country. On paper the Longhorns do not match up well with the Sooners, and in my opinion if these two teams played 10 times, OU would win 6 out of 10 times. At the beginning of the week while talking to Bean, I gave the Longhorns a 40/60 chance of winning. Not because I have no faith in my team, but because of what a powerhouse OU is. I also said I would increase our chances if Mack Brown was left in Austin on game day.
I have already started hearing from Sooner fans about yesterdays game. All but a few have said the same things. The refs gave you guys the game, you guys didn’t deserve that win, and you still suck. Over the years its only become obvious that when the Sooners lose the Red River Shootout, (the few times in recent years) it can’t ever be because they actually got beat, there is always an excuse as to why the Longhorns won. This is just being a poor fan if you ask me. I can understand that last second, GAME changing flag that allows another team to pull off a win. Yesterday, just like all Red River Shootouts there was not a single GAME changing flag. Most years I have to just face the facts that the Sooners outplayed us, and Bob Stoops outcoached Mack Brown, I take my lumps and throw out the congratulations to the Sooner fans I have in my life, but it sure is funny how the tide turns when the Sooners lose.
To the Sooner fans that were not complete pricks to me yesterday like, White Beaner, Brandy, and The Bean I would like to say thank you. To the other Sooner fans out there that refused to pick up a phone, or sent me the rude text messages, please remember one team has to lose, and one has to win. Your team can’t win all the time. To the rude and crude OU fans out there, I leave you with this
HOOK’EM HORNS BABY

I watched that game yesterday, it was a great game, the rivalry is good for fans of either, but I have noticed the idiocy is getting worse in sports.
Fans are less sportsmen and more ASSHOLES these days

Your right buddy.. Bean and I text messaged through the game and I know he was upset about the calls during the game, and he was upset with the outcome, but he sent me a text in the last minute of the game that said Nice win, buddy.. to follow with send me your address. Bean is a stand up guy and is going to honor our bet and send me a ever so tasty bottle of Jack Daniels

There’s not a lot to add to this, but what a gut wrenching game!! It had more twists than an afternoon soap!! I told James Franklin at half time that on the inside wide receiver screens OU runs they had linemen downfield every time, plus other wide outs engaged in blocks while the ball was being thrown – both illegal. Sure enough on ESPN’s College review show just a few minutes ago, they highlighted the lineman down field on two such plays, the second being the touchdown pass just before Jordan’s kickoff return. Ahh, sweet payback. I always knew God wore burnt orange!! Hook ‘em Horns!!

[...] This little cartoon must have been drawn by a Sooner fan, since most Sooner fans think the refs handed Texas the game. This was sent to me courtesy of the Bean… *shakes head* Seriously??? I have said everything I have to say about this game in a post yesterday [...]
