Florida beat Texas 29-21, and our superb OBD member, GatOrlando, has been suffering through the beginning of the season. We've all been there, and I am very happy to know how delighted he probably is.

While it is not beating Florida State or Miami...beating Texas has to rank right up there! Sweet!

Great win. It ensures a trip to Eugene for the Gameday crew. Lots of trees for Peter (Herbie’s dog) to mark on campus.

Doubt it, it's still Oklahoma-Texas, I don't think they ever miss that game.

While it’s popular with the Gameday crew they have only held their show there in ‘23, ‘21, and ‘18 in the last ten years. Before that, the last time it was in Dallas was 2002. I think Eugene is a lock.

Oklahoma is getting a lot of mileage for their win over a mediocre Michigan team at home. They are no where near top 5 in the country.

Is it wrong that I'm feeling two ways about a win by the team I want nothing but success? Short term I'm elated to see a top 10 win and love it for the current guys who've stayed through the turmoil and worked their butts off.

I've seen this script before though. Last year with LSU, Ole Miss, FSU and the bowl game. It's why Billy was retained and Lagway was a Heisman candidate. But the season started and before we even got to October it was done. There isn't a snowballs chance at a conference or playoff. At Florida that isn't good enough. Napier is now 22-22 in his fourth year, he isn't the answer. My fear is they beat enough decent teams that the leadership gets fooled again. It's never going to happen and the sooner everyone knows that the better.

Best case scenario is Billy has been told quietly this is it and he goes out on a high. He is a good man and I hope he gets another shot and succeeds.
