thinking about ou wrs going out of bounds and back in to catch balls is making me think of the 2021 rrs and it is beginning to piss me off big time.  it doesn't necessarily quite make it into the top 3 i listed earlier of 08 tech, 15 osu, and 22 bama but it is a definite honorable mention.

Let me break it down for you.  Game 1 - Rice 2 sacks,  Game 2 - Bama 5 sacks. Game 3 Wyoming 1 sack,  Game 4 - Baylor 5 sacks, Game 5 - Kansas 0 sacks,  Game 6 - OU  1,  Game 7 - Houston 3 sacks,  Game 8 - BYU 2 sacks.   19 sacks on the year.  42% of them came from OOC.   We are honestly going to pretend that UH, BUY, Kansas, OU, and Houston have better lines than Alabama?  Only Baylor is nearly on par with Bama's line?    Yeah, I got some prime real estate to sell ya, just PM me for details.  

Yeah I know how to read box scores too. But the important part is interpretation and putting those numbers into context.

There's a perfectly reasonable explanation if you aren't wrapped up in conspiracy theory nonsense. 

You keep acting as if Alabama's offensive line is some kind of impenetrable fortress. They aren't. They've given up a shit-ton of sacks this year... in fact they are ranked 126th (!) in FBS having given up 35 sacks in 8 games. They are the worst on your schedule in that regard. Guess who the second-worst is? That's right: Baylor. They are ranked 108th, having given up 23 in 8 games.

Meanwhile, OU, Kansas and BYU are all in the top 30 in the country in fewest sacks allowed, having given up 9, 10 and 12, respectively in 8 games each.

Here's all of your opponents, in terms of how many sacks they have averaged giving up and how many Texas had:

Opponent - Texas sacks - (avg. sacks)

  • Rice - 2 (1.6)
  • Bama - 5 (4.4)
  • Wyoming - 1 (1.8)
  • Baylor - 5 (2.9)
  • KU - 0 (1.3)
  • OU - 1 (1.1)
  • Houston - 3 (2.4)
  • BYU - 2 (1.5)

Your sack totals are perfectly in-line with what your opponents' have been giving up.

And in fact you sacked your opponents more times than their season average in 5 of your 8 games, including 3/5 Big 12 games.  In no cases were your sack totals outlandishly low, considering what your opponents have done all year.

2015 was different because it was blatant for what they actually called.  They called back multiple TDs and big plays, then basically gifted OSU the game winner.  Don't think I'll ever see anything like it again.
I still remember defensive holding on Poona...on a play where he was bearhugged to the point he was turned away from the line of scrimmage. We were actually beating the shit out of Okie Lite and the zebras weren't having it.

Not bad.  But that is not really the reality.  Since you watch the games and read this thread you have no doubt seen the screen captured footage of the yardage, holding, dpi, and how it is unequally enforced.   How standing over a player and taunting them is not a flag, but celebrating with your friends after a TD is worth a warning  for unsportsmanlike conduct.  Care to comment on that?  But let's get back to the holding.  

In the interest of time, let's look at Rice.  Texas only sacked them 2x which is close to average.  Their opponents are UH, TSU, USF, ECU, UCONN, Tulsa, Tulane.   Are you suggesting the Rice offensive line is far superior to Alabama's and that the Texas defensive line, is only average to mediocre even if it is populated with some of the conference leaders.  Also 6 conference members have some of the best lines in the country.  ISU, OU, WV, KU, OSU, KSU, BYU (in the top 30) and TCU rounding out the the 50th in giving up sacks.  Truly amazing how good this conference is at preventing sacks especially relative to other power 5 conferences, even with all of the shitty performance of some of the teams listed.

Everyone knows the Big 12 is the O-Line conference.  We're O-Line U, remember?  /ducks

So I looked at the penalty stats of our opponents (here) and for each game I tabulated how the opponent's # of penalties and penalty yards differed from their season average when they played us.  Note the average includes us, which weakens the effect below, but you get the idea. Man, teams play really clean games against us (except Bama!).

The relevant stats are only games with Big XIII refs, so the 'Bama game gets tossed.

Would you like to make a bet that Texas will once again be 14 out of 14 next year in penalty yards? Hell I’ll spot you the 2 additions and give you 14 out of 16.

Or would you rather bet that Texas has 50% fewer penalty yards than the conference mean next year? (Big 12 avg=42.2 yrd/gm; Texas is 21.2 yrd/gm)

I’ll happily bet you $10k. I’ll send it over to immamac if you would do the same, I’ll even donate my winnings to the NIL fund?

Watching this year’s Bama game was a revelation. Smoothly officiated and when they did take time to review a play or confer they got it right. What an enjoyable experience!

Safe bet.

Jeff, if you can't understand what we have a problem with, you're a complete fucktard. We are perfectly fine with being officiated the same way everyone else is and always have been. That is absolutely not the case, and no fan from the state of Oklahoma should even be chiming in. You have no clue what equitable officiating is.

The odds on what is happening to Texas over the last 10 years is virtually impossible.  The odds say that it is nearly impossible that every single team has fewer penalty yards against Texas than their season average.  This has been happening for 10 years.

Let’s look at this year.  Texas opponents have all had their cleanest game of the year when officiated by Big 12 refs.  Texas is receiving less than half of the average penalty yards for the Big 12 from their opponents.  Now think about it, why do teams always complain that the good teams always get the calls from the officiating?  It’s because a lesser team has to hold a little extra or get a little more physical to compete in the game.  That in turn draws more flags thus making it seem lopsided.  But this year Texas is the better team, with better athletes, and NFL caliber talent.  There are screenshots from literally every game of our Dline in chokeholds, often multiple times on the same play.  So why are these not getting called?  The only explanation is that the refs are intentionally holding onto the flag.

Serious question, is there a place that will take a bet on penalty yards against one team?  Might as well make some money if I'm gonna get fucked (no Clayton Williams).

Over/under on 10 penalty yards for K State? I'd hammer the under. 

Let's be honest, no matter the crew KState wasn't getting called for much of anything subjective.  The problem here is when we get called for about 7-8 subjective things and the timing of said calls of course.
