The tide has been rolled
My niece and nephew go to OU. My nephew is a student assistant on the football team. He's over the moon with the win.

His parents (my brother and sister in law) on the other hand, are NOT.....That win made OU bowl eligible and my nephew will now most likely be gone over the holiday break, practicing and travelling with the team to some backwater bowl game that nobody will watch....

I've already had the conversation with my wife that I will not be available for any social activities this Saturday night.

I will be locked in the basement from 7-11pm and cannot be disturbed, as I will be fully immersed in the Texas A&M (my alma mater) - Texas game. They are our arch rivals and we haven't played each other in 13yrs, due to reasons that I still cannot comprehend.

While my Aggies no longer have a shot at National Championship consideration, we can can definitely screw Texas' chances with a win in College Station on Saturday night.

That would be so sweet. Beating them is good enough, but knocking them out of the SEC Championship Game AND potentially the National Championship bracket as well? Epic. Gig 'em.

Just saw on the Athletic that median ticket prices to the game are going for $2,000 on Stub Hub. Highest priced tix are going for $7,500. That's nuts.

My brother in law called their bowl game the backwater bowl game yesterday so I have to laugh at how true it is.

It does stink that he’ll be away for the holiday break but the memories he will have will last a lifetime. I hope his parents can find the silver lining and maybe go to said backwater bowl game.

People here are still riding high. That $200k fine the SEC dished out to them for the fans storming the field is just ridiculous.

It's about time they're playing each other again. You'll be happy to know I think the Aggie band is awesome while the UT band looks badly dressed for the Grand Ole Opry.
