    Scoreboard on everyone including nebraska

    We have scoreboard on all of next year’s B12. Not 100% sure about Arizona, and we’ve never played Cincinnati, but in my heart, we have scoreboard.Β

    He doesn’t hate Texas. He just really, really doesn’t want to be seen as a β€œhomer”. He desires that his press box fellow journalists view him as an impartial writer. To support that, he is extra critical of Texas, the hometown team.Β

    It’s too bad that he is a mediocre enough writer that his press box mates assume he is a homer anyway, and assume he is telling the truth when he speaks the worst about Texas and Longhorn players.Β 

    This post jogged my memory about my dad’s conversation. My dad commented on how much aggy dick Suzanne Halliburton sucked as the aggy beat writer. KB’s response was that he was just as big a fan of Texas, just not the glory hole part.Β

    Kirk has never liked Texas, and every veiled-compliment made about Texas was back-handed.

    Kirk isn't man-enough to admit he hates Texas and will always hate Texas.

    My dad struck up a conversation with him at Mueller Airport 30+ years ago. Not sure how it exactly went, but my dad swore Kunt said he was a huge Texas fan. Not buying it for one second.Β

    Was the Colorado loss the one where Bill Cunningham was quoted in the paper as saying how great it was that we kept it close?

    My recollection is of the Syracuse tie in 1993 - the week after losing in Boulder - when Bill declared, β€œIt doesn’t get any better than this!” I was hanging out near Big Tex after we lost to OU, and Cunningham was working his was through the crowd. I yelled at him, β€œDoes it get any better than this, Bill?”

    i'm a decade behind you... so the highlight of my (Longhorn) life was Shock the Nation...Β 

    Remember the game against eventual MNC Colorado? Β The Buffs were obviously ranked, and Texas had the lead in the late 3Q. The CU D looked gassed, but instead of using Butch Hadnot to step on their throat when we got the ball back, McWilliams subbed out most of our OL to give them a rest. We went 3 and out, and CU went on an extended drive, giving their D a much needed break. We ended up losing a close one.

    The funny thing is, if we win that game, we probably end up playing Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl for the MNC instead of just a New Years bowl game against the Hurricanes. Texas actually matched up pretty well with ND, much better than we did with Miami. That team could’ve won it all instead of getting pantsed.

    i'm damn near a senior in life, and I give no fucks about the 1969 national championship...Β  i've met some of those guys. happy for them. great job. i was not alive (among other things.)

    I entered UT a decade after the β€˜69 MNC, so the VY Rose Bowl to HS Srs is more ancient than the β€˜63 MNC was to me. The β€˜63 season seemed like long forgotten times to my stupid ass in β€˜79.Β
