āMiserable dickheadā is the easiest position to hold in a sports discussion. If you are wrong and the team wins, you can say that you are āhappy to be wrong.ā If they lose, you get to double down on misery and dickheadedness. This position requires no conviction, no risk, and no heart. It sucks the joy and love out of sports fandom. But I get it. Some people are just emotionally damaged and canāt allow themselves to invest a little hope into an outcome they donāt control. Some people are just contrarians and derive some sense of self worth from standing apart from the main fanbase. And some are just plain cowards. Fuck all that⦠sports are one of the few places in life where you get to experience solidarity with a group of like-minded individuals about something that ultimately does not matter. Save your fear, negativity, and cowardice for the things that DO matter and reclaim a little childlike joy by going all in for a sports team you love. This is one of the few areas in life that doesnāt have to be miserable unless you choose to make it miserable. So choose differently.

They have coopted a certain version of Christianity and it has had a disastrous impact on the image of Christianity in America. Look... I'm not going to argue that what MAGA has done to Christianity in America is disgusting. But I'll be damned if I surrender the name of Christ to the MAGA movement and abandon the name Christian just to make sure people don't confuse me as part of MAGA.

They arenāt even in the three comma club.

The college football world will be feeling gravityās pull towards Athens, GA this Saturday for a November matchup between two heavyweights. Games like this are truly part of lifeās rich pageant. Many are making the pilgrimage to one of the great college towns, which happens to be the birthplace of one of my favorite bands. History has formed a perfect circle and the Horns now rematch with a team they were twice unable to beat last season. But this Georgia team isnāt the monster they have been in past seasons - itās time for a reckoning. There is a murmur of concern for both squads, as another loss for either team will bring the realization for their playoff goals that they canāt get there from here. We can talk about the passion of the two fanbases, but it shouldnāt be hard for either team to get up for this game. It should be a perfect fall evening, but for those hoping to see a sloppy mudfest, there is little chance for so. central rain - Iām sorry. Weāve got the evening timeslot for this game, so even if you are a daysleeper, you should be able to catch this one. Sadly, I canāt make the trip this year, so I will be watching by the fireplace with the one I love. Just over two months ago, our Horns had a pre-season #1 ranking and many CFB pundits telling Arch you are the everything. How quickly a tough loss in Columbus and an inexplicable loss in Gainesville had us all feeling low. Just a couple of weeks ago, the injury report made it seem like everybody hurts, but the extra rest during the bye week has improved that situation. There is still a lot of hope left for this Longhorn team to approach the accomplishments of legendary Longhorn teams. Reflecting on those teams and their magical seasons, I would star ā69 - back in the days when we had just put a man on the moon and Radio Free Europe blared over the Iron Curtain. And who can forget those nights at the Rose Bowl in ā05 and ā06? I remember California. If the Horns donāt begin the begin with at least a 21-pt lead in the first half, many on this board will be screaming that itās the end of the world as we know it. After the Vandy game, many have valid concerns⦠āwhat if we give it away?ā Iām not as pessimistic as some, but if we see ref shenanigans like there have been in so many UGA games this season, I will surely be losing my religion. But there are 1,000,000 different ways this game can play out. It could be a defensive struggle with a 9-9 score as the regulation clock runs out of time. The Georgia DL is a strength of their team, so Arch will have to implore his line to not let the weight of those 300 pounders fall on me. Hereās hoping that the offense comes out like the high speed train we saw in the past two games. Archās catapult of an arm will have to come up big on this stage. It may come down to one big drive late in the game, or it may hinge on a drive ār 8 throughout the game. If the offense doesn't stay on schedule, Arch will consistently be staring down the barrel of the middle distance - not a formula for success. If we donāt see Taafe back for this game, there is a real danger of defensive confusion, with a green secondary wandering around like they are gardening at night. But if the players execute and stick to assignments, this defense should play like an orange crush and no one should have to be Superman and make a miracle play on their own. If history is a predictor of future events, this defense will need to bow up and make an important stand at some point in the game. This Longhorn team just needs to remember that everyday is yours to win. I believe that at the endgame, after a hard fought win that leaves our visiting crowd of shiny happy people in near wild heaven, the team will gather in front of the visitorās section to sing The Eyes of Texas, which we all know to be the finest worksong.

Or get a bye by not playing in SECCG.

I was going to put in a stock photo from Jonestown, but it seems I have found my limit for internet dark humor.

Who cares about SECCG anymore? Other than aggy, I mean.
-
I care more about keeping aggy out of it than making it with the 12-team playoff. Beat aggy and dash their dreams of finally making it to the SECCG after 13 seasons. Whether we make that game or not, it don't make a shit.
