Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer is back on the field today just a little more than two weeks after having surgery on his throwing hand.
It’s understandable that Mateer would be eager to get back onto the field this week, as the Sooners are taking on Texas in the annual Red River Rivalry game, but his quick return also means he has a clear target for the Longhorns defense painted right on him.
ESPN analyst Booger McFarland said what the Texas defense was already thinking just a few minutes before kickoff from the Cotton Bowl. “That’s a thumb and a hand I would be looking to step on,” McFarland said as the broadcast went to commercial.
Okay ... is there any evidence ... ANY ... that the Longhorns were going to intentionally try to do something so dirty as to step on his hand when Mateer was down OR that they actually attempted or did do so??? The answer is absolutely NOT, you whining fantasists. All you have is some guy named "Booger" who said that this is what HE would do. So, F*CK OFF.

While it could be seen as a bit gauche for McFarland to lay things out so plainly, he’s not exactly wrong that the Texas defense would be looking for any and every edge to slow down Mateer and the Oklahoma offense.
Oh, the Longhorns hit him, all right, but that's what happens when you choose to go out onto that field of play ... just ask Arch Manning after last week's Florida game, you pansies.
Fans were split on McFarland’s maybe-a-bit-too-honest analysis.
Just Trae (@trae__trae) ~ He not lying.
What he's doing is fantasizing and casting aspersions for clicks, which was irresponsible and childish.
Ben Ross (@BenRossTweets) ~ Wild (and gross) thing to admit.
Oh, grow up, Ben ... you've been played by the sports media. There was no "admission" to anything ... just someone's imagination run amok.
Mason Voth (@TheRealMasonV) ~ Respect the honesty of how the game is played.
The true honesty is that the defense ... any defense ... is going to try to put good, hard hits on the offense - and that includes the quarterback. Get over it, already.

As it turns out, Mateer’s hand would become a factor before the game was over. Just before halftime, the broadcast reported that Mateer was bleeding a bit around his thumb wrap after it was struck by a helmet.
Despite the setback, Mateer did not miss a snap.
Because Mateer is a gamer ... unlike you milksops.
