the KSU-OU match up has a different dynamic this year...

[slobber]

What if we roll them huge. Like early 21 point cushion or something? Would feel so good you guys. We all start partying early and at halftime we are all calling each other and acting cocky and stuff. Man.

This is going to happen, except instead of phone calls it will be double high fives with all of my bros in the faces of the OU fans.

I believe Snyder prepared for OU all week and just threw in a gameplan for North Texas with the impression that a team full of veterans could manage a game vs. an opponent that was an explosive threat.

I want to believe this. But there was a former player for Snyder on 810 last week (don't remember who) who pretty much shot down this theory completely. OBz could have changed by now but the player said absolutely there was never a mention of overlooking a pud team for the big game the following weekend.

Take it fwiw.

That contradicts something BITB said the other day. Apparently Mangino said that Snyder wouldn't even practice for KU back in the day, and would just look ahead to the next opponent.

He wouldn't tell the team they were practicing for OU, he's scheming our team too.  He'd be all "Oklaho.... I mean um, North Texas has a tendency to keep their corners close..."

Does anyone remember when they stomped on CK's chest? I want to get angried up.

I'd say its good of that player to follow the Snyder party line.

And FWIW he probably technically isn't lying. You can easily practice schemes you don't use against an inferior opponent without naming the later opponent those schemes are for. Granted, most of the players know what you are doing, but you can still be prepping for the future. It not like the coaches said "Hey guys, we are not going to work on NT at all, this is just OU prep." But they likely were repping stuff (on both sides of the ball) that never saw the field last Saturday.

If we get up by a few scores...Snyder will take the air out of the ball and bleed them slowly.  Think 2003 and how easy that one was with the lead.  Give this particular Snyder offense a few score leads and they will be far more difficult to beat than last year's team.  I think the offense is certainly improved.  It is minimal at a few different places but that adds up to quite a bit when you look at it holistically.

Experience everywhere, but the biggest improvement is at both tackles. Significant. JMHO.

true, but we're simply better athletically at LT, LG, RG, and RT at the moment than we were at any time last year.  Add in the more experience at a number of positions...it adds up.

I would cite for most of the folks on this board.  This game will be won up front and not by the skill players (for instance, Landry, OU receivers vs. KSU secondary).

There is a reason Matt Barkley, with his cast of returning stud skill players, put up 14 points against Stanford last week after they bombed the Cardinal for 40-plus last season.  The game was completely different at the LOS, period.  A few differences in personnel can change the matchups between two teams drastically.

I believe we have more NFL prospects in the matchup between our offensive line and their defensive line or front 7.  That was NOT the case last year.

I'll say this once and don't need to discuss it again.

Anybody who quotes BITB in terms of predictions, football strategy, coaching, player evaluation, etc....is quoting a bafoon in that regard.  I like BITB and find him highly entertaining but his knowledge about the sport is elementary as it is with most of the media.
