Thanks, dfw!

We had an interesting turn of events as we flew from Oakland to Kona, the plane had some computer issue with it's telemetry and had to turn back.  Made the trip go from 5 hours to 10, but we got here.  Luckily the owner of the company was actually on our flight to Kona so he was able to arrange for his third plane to be readied on the tarmac at Oakland.  We were literally 40 minutes from being half way to Kona when they decided to go back. Forty minutes later and we would have just soldiered on.  Good to be here!

OL. Period. If they are good, the team will be good.  JFA is good enough to be Top 5 in the SEC.  If the D gets close to where we expect and they get Top 5 QB play, AND that OL performs FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON, they are in great shape.  Can't have anymore of the "6 games to gel" BS.

As many incidents as planes have had lately good to hear your trip wasn't postponed for a day. Hope you and family have a good time.

Us poorer folks will stay close to the news concerning OU and let you know if anything comes up.

so much depends on our new OC and how he manages what he has vs what he wants to do... I'm optimistic 

Fuck the AP.  When they first aggregated this poll, they gave points for 1st place finishes, and rewarded points for every finishing level in the poll. OU was so far ahead of every school that the 2nd place finisher, Ohio State, was way way back in the poll, and it didn't look good, so they reconfigured the point system, so that a 2nd place finished received the same points as a 10th place finish, and it bumped OU out of first and Ohio st into first. They liked that so they kept it. OU was so far out in first that if they still had the same metrics, OU would probably still be in first place with Bama 2nd, or it would be very very close.

True. Two important rooms here are the OL and RB rooms. If we can run the ball and chew up clock when we have a lead it will go a long way to winning close games. The past 3 and out all done in less than 2 minutes killed us in close games. 

Yeah, I want us back to being able to run for five yards or more on first down, so the opposition D coordinator has no idea what we might do on second down. And should always be able to pick up a yard to move the chains. Always.

There’s a whole new media set to kiss texsa’s ass and it’s already getting annoying. Can’t wait for them to fail (as usual) and make these talking heads look stupid.

interpreting this to be a good sign... players buckling down- focus
