I just heard back from the OK City chapter and they ARE sending out emails to mobilize up there. Hope it helps. Also hope everyone doesn't flood her email box!
There is a facebook group but I can't remember what it is (d'oh). If you search you can probably find it pretty easily, it's something like "lest we forget, texas beat OU"
I've seen the idea of stickying this pop up several times. I don't know who all has that power....But there have been other posts over the years people agree should be stickied....But they never are. No idea why.
You guys really think that the voters don't know that you won by 10? That is the reason you are still ahead in the polls. What I find comical is that in the week following the game, it was viewed for what it was, an evenly matched game that had several momentum changes. Now it viewed on this board as an "*** kicking" and by the national media as some sort of easy victory double didgit victory. Sorry don't buy either one. All things being equal in the end (which we are not there yet - we still have have a top 12 team to play on the road) UT should get the nod based on the victory. It sucks but that is fair. The problem like I have heard two different radio pundits (one coach & college football guy) is that the Eye test (meaning what their eyes see right now) show that OU & Florida are the 2 best teams out there and on Nov 25 those are teams people want to see match up. I just don't people have forgot. I think if OU throws in another TD late and makes the final 45-42 I think OU is ranked ahead of UT solidly. Its like one guy said that part of the problem is what are the rules? Do we rank by the whole year? Or do we rank who think is the best right now? That being said college football is screwed up.
No offense Drake, but this isn't the thread for you to try to convince anyone on this board which team is better or which team is "getting screwed". There are 6,879,097 other threads you can do that on. This thread is a way to mobilize an effort that Texas fans have obviously decided is worth their time.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ True... Not so much with the Pokes - they seem to be on our side. But if I were a guy, I'd steer clear of the crimson...better safe than sorry... ou sucks.
Drake...What do you mean we are ahead in the polls? We are ahead in the computers while the polls have Oklahoma in front of us....So obviously they don't remember.
Looks like the movement may have picked up a corporate sponsor for 10,000 signs. KVET I believe. The organizer says he will know for sure in the morning!!!
Someone should make a sign about the obvious. The whole reason for a playoffs system is to take the voting out of the equation and determine it on the field. A sign like this: "Why does everyone want playoffs if its not about determining it on the field? 45-35!!!!!!!!!!!!"
KISS: 45-35 Nothing else. Print T-shirts, signs, bumper stickers, buttons for the sideline reporters, buy the URL, get the guy to do it on the godzillatron,
Ok that last one was too long. How about? Why have playoffs? If results don't matter!!! 45-35 or Why have playoffs? If votes are all the counts TX 45 OU 35 Settled on the field
Or how about: Playoffs? (insert face of Jim Mora) B/c we play to WIN the game! (insert Herm Edwards face pic) Vote for what matters Tx 45 OU 35
It looks like I have KVET sponsoring 10,000 signs being printed for Thursday. And the person who started the facebook group stepped up big time to get the Texan to run 45-35 centerspreads Wednesday
T_SHIRTS are cheap to make, so I hope someone makes a bunch & sells them for $1 or less at the game. I'd do it, but I'm in Colorado. Also, I like adding the "TX" & "OU," as in "TX 45-35 OU."
