I'm an idiot
I voted for “injury”, when I meant to vote for “hangover”.
Let’s face it. Daniel and Maclin are damn good, but OU was definitely more talented than Missouri. If we play up to the level we played last Saturday, I think we win the game, no matter what Missouri does.
I mean 3 more ranked teams are on our schedule this month. It should grab their attention if anything. I’ll be scared of a hangover after we beat Tech.
The hangover effect after a big game is much more likely against an opponent that you should beat handily. We don’t have that here. plus, Muschamp is probably already asking his players “Who are we playing this week?”
After the Tech game, if we are still undefeated, I expect the entire team, including the coaching staff, to be too afraid of the Boom M’Fer to take a week off.
i am worried about the history that comes with wearing the #1 in the past couple of years. it has been well documented that anyone who carries that spot has somewhere down the line fumbled it away. man this season has been the most fun to watch since the 05 season it really has. this is the toughest schedule that we have endured and this makes it so much fun as a longhorn fan
Teams lose and teams win, but I don’t think there is much to #1 being tougher to keep than #2 or #25, except there is no one above you who can lose and you can move up. Just three years ago there were two team who went #1 and #2 through the entire regular season, which is probably much less likely than movement in the top teams.

No hangover, baby!
Yes, stats sometimes lie. But here is an impressive one: While at UT, Mack is UNDEFEATED in the game after Texas-OU weekend.
I like our chances.

I highly doubt we'll have a hangover

If Muschamp even thinks
there’s a hangover effect, there will be more bloody faces than his own. I picked the injury because that’s the most likely sand-in-the-gears issue.

I dont buy the history aspect
Teams lose and teams win, but I don’t think there is much to #1 being tougher to keep than #2 or #25, except there is no one above you who can lose and you can move up.
