My question: how did they find 82,000 people in Oklahoma who didn't already have crazy Saturday night plans and could make this late kickoff?

Uncle D: ABC just posted Harrell's gaudy stats. The knock on the Texas Tech quarterback is that his numbers are a result of being a system quarterback . . . specifically XBOX. Those numbers don't make sense without an analog.

Brooks: Well, we officially have our drinking game tonight. Did you know that Mike Leach once coached at OU under Stoops? Neither did I, so take a shot. You'll be drunk with this game-- Sooner or Raider! Awful
12:54 Left in the 1st
Brooks: Mike Leach shows just how committed he is to his spread passing game that their punter actually shot puts the ball downfield rather than kicking it
11:40 Left in the 1st
Uncle D: Just too appease those who will be double fisting tonight, I was hoping that Mike Leach would be coaching in a long white lab coat. Perhaps some smoking beakers will be in play later on, we will see . . .
Who Do I Root For?
Hoogs: This is a tough one. If Tech wins, my Longhorns are virtually guaranteed a BCS bid to the Fiesta Bowl. If OU wins, it opens up the often talked-about scenario that might allow Texas a shot at the title.
Right now it looks like OU has the Tech defense's number. How can this be????? It's the NEW TTU defense!!! Wrong. The 'new' TTU defense has thrived not on talent, but on emotion. In the end, talent wins out (except in the Horns' case).
It's obvious I like each team about as much as Clay Aiken likes women. Back to the original question--who do I root for?
I believe Screech Powers puts it best in a classic episode from "The College Years":
THE REFS.

Uncle D: I agree Brooks, they are playing the Leach-Stoops connection as if they were Obama-Ayers. I just took a self-induced drink incidentally.
9:03 Left in the 1st
Brooks: Does anyone else get the feeling that when he worked in Norman, Leach was the Turtle of the coaching staff?
And if that's the case, is this basically the football equivalent of Turtle getting an interview to start in the new Batman movie as the Penguin?
8:59 Left in the 1st
Uncle D: OU just pounded it in from the goal line. 7-0. Brent Mustberger just promised me a shoot-out-- I hope the mad scientist takes a Paxil and plays conservative out of spite . . .
Brooks: And the teacher strikes first against the student. Can't say I disagree with his game plan: hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson all day. What, that's not Adrian Peterson? I think it is, and he is celebrating having 4 new years of eligibility by taking a number one-fourth the size of his own
7:45 Left in the First
Uncle D: Matt Weiner in the ABC studio just referred to Utah-BYU as the "Holy War," which just reeks of insensitivity . . . I think the Big Love Bowl is more appropriate and relevant in the Paxton household.
Brooks: we just got our in game update on the BYU-Utah game. I still don't know why people are so intrigued by this game. The ending is in the Book of Revelations. It says the world will end if a team that could only beat Michigan by 3 points makes it to a BCS Bowl Game

The Tech offense is looking atrocious. Musberger and Herbstreit are right--it looks like the defense knows what is coming.
One thing that they haven't commented on is how much bigger the Sooners look both on offense and defense. I really do wonder if Tech can make up this difference. The offense looks demoralized and if they don't get Crabtree involved soon with a big play, then this game might already be over. I know they can score quickly, but they have no momentum at all.
Usually, Tech goes for a couple of long throws early--there has been nothing tonight.
And someone needs to tackle DeMarco Murray. He is making the Red Raiders look like Michigan out there!
10:58 Left in the Half
Brooks: This game is already out of hand. OU's defense is getting pressure on Klingsbury, and more importantly, they are tackling really well so TTU can't get any YAC even when they complete a pass. If I'm an OU fan, I'm thrilled at how good they look but a little pissed it took 10 games to get it together.
The OU offense also looks on unstoppable. Bradford actually looks bored out there because there's no rush and all the passes are so easy for him.
So, do we start the Murray- Heisman 09 campaign now, or do we have to wait for Mike Lupica to say it with the most smug tone of voice possible on the SportsReporters?
Don't Have Much Else To Say
Hoogs: It is awesome that Notre Dame lost to Syracuse. Wow.
10:26 Left in the Half
Brooks: I just realized that the Citadel could score 19 points against Florida, but Michigan only scored 7 on Ohio State.
I have started drinking
8:20 Left in the Half
Brooks: Bradford just showed how NFL ready he is by deftly sliding to avoid contact with a safety. Headsy play.
Also, Herbstreit just said that Bradford is a great athlete because he played golf in high school. Really? Golf?
8:02 Left in the Half
Uncle D: The Mad Scientist is seriously coaching this game like a pissed off Madden player. 4th and what from my own what . . . doesn't matter, keep in the offense and choose an illogical pass play. The result 21-0. The only difference is Leach doesn't have a reset button . . . that I know of
14:53 In the 3rd
Brooks: Mad Scientist on the loose, and it looked like he cooked up something crazy in the locker room! Onside kick to open the half by Texas Tech. It didn't work, but I love the call. Put some balls in this game
This Is Laughable
Hoogs: What I want to know is this: does this game make Texas look better or worse? Yes, they lost to Tech, but on the last second and on the road--everyone knows that strange things happen in Lubbbock.

But at the same time, Texas beat OU on a neutral field.
So how do you vote? I have no idea, so good luck to voters.

Brooks: If Mike Leach was truly an outside the box thinker, he'd bust out some 7 v 7 offense now, just to send a message to his former boss
9:40 Left in the 3rd
Hoogs: Texas Tech just fumbled their season away.
I Loathe These Teams
Hoogs: I am seething. TTU is so overrated and it makes me so angry that they beat Texas. They don't deserve to be in this conversation of great teams in college football. I hope all of these Red Raider fans who have been on their high horse for 3 weeks finally keep their mouths shut. Serves them right.

OU is just terrible, and I hate them. And Texas beat them.
That was me venting. And I apologize.
Uncle D: It is ok to vent . . . Coors Light douchers do it on TV all the time
I went out and bought beer for 5 people. Thanks to Mike Leach and this pathetic effort, my company has mutually decided to go home and I am left with a fridge full of pretentious beer cocktails that I would never drink. This is more egregious than the Packers-Chargers reversal from last week . . .
8:56 Left in the 3rd
Brooks: What's sad is that even though Texas Tech has completely shat the bed tonight, if you're a Tennessee fan you still have to want Mike Leach because there's no way you'd keep an OU team this fired up under 100 points.
I think
Hoogs: That horse-collar tackles should immediately get players ejected from the game. That tackle on Crabtree was absurd. It was unnecessary and judging by the OU DB's demeanor after the tackle, it was at least partially malicious. And now Crabtree, perhaps the only bright spot for Tech and (I will maintain my stance) the best player on the field, has taken himself out of the game.
4:20 Left in the 3rd
Brooks: I had a post, but then they showed Herbstreit on TV. Suddenly, all my apprehensions and anger disappeared amongst of flood of warmth and happiness. I could get lost in those eyes forever, like two blue disks of heaven waiting to take me to eternal bliss
A New Voice
Log: Obviously OU got the memo that the punt block formation always works against Texas Tech.
He's Going For It?
Hoogs: Stoops is a dick.
Brooks: Gotta disagree with you, I think it was actually a non-dick move. He's got the ball inside the 5 yard line, so it's not like he had the option to punt the ball. What he wants to do is keep the clock moving and shorten the game. Running the ball between the tackles, which he did, was incredibly predictable. He knew Texas Tech would probably stop it and get the ball back, and honestly if they let OU score there, then they deserve to be embarrassed

But a smart dick.
Mack Brown needs to take notes. Because the only chance Texas has at a national title game is to put up 70 on A&M this coming Thursday on national TV. They are the only game on, and the nation will be watching.
