Jackson the Mule says . . .
Jackson the Mule
. . . Trrrradition!

 

bobo_the_vol wins the season's final Hail Mary Haiku with the following ode to The Papa:

Some remember Phil
For the past couple of years
And forget the good.

Me? I barely know
Of Manning, the Golden Age
of UT football.

I will always see
"And pandemonium reigns"
When I think of thee.

It seemed destiny
When "he stumbled and fumbled",
We held the crystal.

Seek Phil’s legacy
In the eyes of his players
Game Ball goes to Phil.

Rusty's a-Twitterin' from the game, so I thought we'd try to keep up with his Twitter feed, with his permission. Don't know if it'll work or not, but here's the attempt:

I'm doubting that that's going to auto-update, so here's Rusty's Twitter page, just in case.

[Note by Joel, 11/29/08 3:05 PM EST ] Hey, looky there. It is updating. Nifty.

How was the vibe on campus today?

Are people turning out for Fulmer’s last dance?

I, unfortunately, am stuck in my office 6 hours away getting ready for another trial.

At least I managed to get my goodbye post up (finally).

I left the area around 2:45ish, so I'm not 100% sure about how it is now.

It was very quiet where I was. Then again, I never really ventured into the heart of it all. But the rain seemed to be keeping things, um, dampened.

If it’s any indication, traffic was very light.

In the Big 12 fiasco watch:

The Kansas win over Missouri helps Oklahoma over Texas a tad. Texas played both Missouri and Kansas, so it’s really a wash for them. However, OU played only Kansas, so it’s a bit of a binnie for them in the computers.

As close as that knot is, that game just might matter.

Peter says the KU loss actually hurt Texas

for those same reasons, FWIW.

More Big 12 fiasco watch:

In Colley’s Matrix, playing the hypotheticals and having Texas, FLorida, Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas Tech all win, Oklahoma’s ranking jumps from 21 to 23. That alone raises their computer score from 0.900 to 0.910. That in turn cuts the margin between Texas and OU from 0.84 to 0.51. So the other games will play a significant factor in things.

If either Colley or Sagarin drop their Texas rating from first place, Oklahoma will most likely overtake them. If not, it’s probably too close to tell at this point.

Isn’t this fun? And people want a lousy, boring playoff. Psshhawwwww…

by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:32 PM EST reply actions  

No.

It also doesn’t include the Arkansas loss, which helps Texas.

Colley’s hypothetical only allows up to 5 changes.

by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:36 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes.

by “21 to 23”, that really means from 5th to 3rd. I was using the points there.

by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:47 PM EST up reply actions  

True

I changed the TTU game to the Kansas / Missouri game, though.

by Chris Pendley on Nov 29, 2008 5:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Ah.

I also tried using the 5 wins for Kansas, Clemson, Georgia Tech, LSU and Cincinnati. That moves Oklahoma ahead of Florida as well.

I’m beginning to think that Texas is in trouble if Tech somehow finds a way to win.

by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:50 PM EST up reply actions  

Cincinnati wins?

Man, you’re twisting the knife here, aren’t you?

And I think Texas was going to be toast if TTU won regardless.

by Chris Pendley on Nov 29, 2008 5:51 PM EST up reply actions  

That win was relevant.

Cincy played OU earlier. The extra win helps Oklahoma.

by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:52 PM EST up reply actions  

Good point.

I had forgotten about that, somehow. I don’t have my Cincinnati whiteboard with me right now. ;)

by Chris Pendley on Nov 29, 2008 5:55 PM EST up reply actions  

Should also add:

Assuming those 5 all win, Oklahoma has a chance to move into #2 in Colley if their opponents have a better day than Florida’s opponents. That would give OU another 0.1, which would cut the margin down to 0.18. At that point, you’d have to assume that the other computers would show OU some more love as well, and it’s probably lights-out for Texas.

That brings teams like Georgia and South Carolina into the mix.

So…whodathunk that Texas would be upset that the mighty SEC is having a down year? ;-)

a Baylor win throws all my hypothetical mumbo-jumbo out the window. Texas has the straight-up tiebreaker.

I'd rather see OU I think.

I get very tired of the Texas political machine. And honestly, OU has impressed me more than Texas.

Texas has gotten really annoying lately

But I like the “Oklahoma hasn’t had a decent BCS game since 2000” argument … and if you saw the 2000 game, even that’s debatable.*

by ChattVol on Nov 29, 2008 7:42 PM EST reply actions  

Well....

If we’re gonna just say screw it and run, stick multiple RBs in the backfield and just go to town, but keep it different. I don’t trust Crompton to pass too much, but backing the defense off and passing once or twice can’t hurt too much – just put someone else in.

I don’t see a whole lot of point in going G-Gun or bringing in Berry, not yet.

not know how to run to the sticks or was that all on Crompton?

Both.

Jones was short, but Crompton threw too low. Fixing either problem would have given a 1st.

Ball wasn’t thrown to where the WR could turn it upfield, but it looked like that guy was a checkdown guy.
