    I already said that the byes before finishing their regular season schedules with Texas didn't happen EVERY season.

     

    However, the Tech ending their season, then Baylor ending their season, and then aggy ending their season -- all playing Texas happened for many, many years, and you didn't refute it, because it happened, and you can go look that up, too, if you want.

    And in some of those years, you can replace TCU for Tech.

    Your claim is that Tech took a bye, played UT, then took two more bye weeks?  Three bye weeks in each season, all in the last four weeks? 

    A quick check of results back to 1973 shows no season that Tech played Texas after November 4th, until A&M left the Big 12.  Every year that Tech ended the season with UT since then, the game was in Austin.  It also shows that Tech had at least two games after the Texas game in every one of those seasons.  There were five seasons that Tech had a bye the week before Texas.  Not nearly every season.  But what the hell with reality and trying to make The University of Texas a victim and a downtrodden underdog and all

    This should be a fun game. Kinda sucks WV will have two extra days to prepare for us.

    In the old SWC, there were 3 teams that would finish their regular season schedules with Texas (in order, Tech, Baylor, aggy), and each team would usually take their week off to prepare for us, too.  It enabled more max-effort without having to play the next week.

    That was just part of the hatred that ultimately doomed the SWC.

     

    ----In that vein, I bet that, now that Texas is no longer the pushover that we were, TCU will no longer schedule big-boy non-conference teams (like Ohio State this year) the week before playing us.  It definitely showed TCU can't at this point survive a true grind of a hard schedule.
