It's just unreal to me. I get being confident, I get being optimistic and hopeful. But even if we blow them out today, after everything we've seen in the last decade, there are still people (the majority of people in this forum) who expect us to always go blow out lowly and hapless TCU because WE ARE TEXAS and we used to blow them out in a conference that hasn't existed in 20 years now. It's just unreal to me. To not even consider the notion that this team won't blow out TCU is unreal. People accuse this fanbase of being entitled and delusional, of living in the past, and we consistently live up to the billing all too often.

If I'm weighing the data points and making a prediction, I'm probably giving more weight to the fact that we have juniors stepping out onto the field today that have never beat TCU than I'm giving to the fact that we beat them badly when Gerald Ford was in office.

I swear, I just get shrinkage when I think about Gary Patterson.

In defense of younger fans, maybe what this team was doing in the 60's and 70's doesn't really matter a whole lot on October 2, 2021.

Lmao. Comment: "I have some doubts about today for the following reasons." Reply: "You have no penis." Fair enough, I guess.

Our running back room is doing fucking dandy without Zach Evans. He can play football though, and I just think we might view him differently if he were on our team. If we go out and shit all over TCU this morning then I'll upvote every reply mocking me for my lack of faith. But when I'm making like Doctor Strange and playing the possible outcomes for today in my head, I see myself being frustrated in most of them. The bell curve of possible scenarios skews toward the end where my wife tells me to stop yelling profanity at the TV.

This one just has all the markings of a big ole fucking trap. If Zach Evans and Quentin Johnston hadn't spurned us in favor of TCU then we'd be bragging right now about how badly they're gonna fuck up TCU tomorrow. TCU's defense sucked against SMU, but if anyone can right the ship it's that fat purple fuck. He always gets his guys to play like their hair is on fucking fire against us. They're getting a bunch of dudes back. We've seen our guys go up against a semi-competent team exactly once this season, and they humiliated themselves. The offensive line looked improved last week, but Okafor's and Jones' body of work is big enough at this point: we should know better than to expect competence from them. I don't think we should expect Casey to continue sustaining his pace of TD drives every time he's on the field; there's plenty of tape on him now and he may be due to come back down to Earth. All of that, plus it's an away game, plus it's the week before OU. This program hasn't earned the right to expect to beat TCU. We are the underdogs against them until such time as we prove otherwise.

One thing that I don't think gets enough attention is just how shitty TCU's hand sign is. It does not look like a frog. It looks like they're in the middle of doing air quotes, or they're tweaking a very small nipple. Easily the worst in college football.

Your first post said "Y'all must be chomping at the bit after last week and the last decade. Good for you guys." If you're asking me to believe that you didn't know how that was gonna turn out then you're asking me to believe that you're a fucking moron, which I don't yet.

C'mon now, brother. If you go to a rival team's forum to stir up shit (which I'm all for, although it's weird to spend time in the middle of your day to do it), then you can't act surprised when shit gets stirred up.

Hell of a bluegrass singer, though.

One time I saw two homeless dudes fighting over some thrown out bread in a dumpster outside of Schlotzsky's on the drag. This game has that same vibe.

OU some poo poo

Fuck me, inject those shots of the sad Sooner fans directly into my veins.

Damn and we only paid our head coach like $5 million to lose to Arkansas.

WE'RE BLOWING OUT A CONFERENCE OPPONENT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS

I really hate Denzel Okafor with everything I've got, fam.

Coming into this threat to make sure this joke has been made

Everyone should enjoy the Rice win. It isn't often that the best case scenario comes to fruition around here lately, and there aren't many scenarios better than winning 58-0. This was exactly how to respond to an embarrassing loss. But. The systemic flaws that Arkansas exposed probably didn't disappear in the last seven days. We're making progress fixing some: notably, we maybe have a competent starting QB after all. But our fourth- and fifth-string RBs won't be gashing many defenses they see moving forward. The offense's base play can't be hand it off and let the RB break 4+ tackles per carry because we saw how that fared against Arkansas. We rushed for 400+ yard in spite of the offensive line--not because of them. And Rice's offense came into this game averaging 12 points through their first two games. They've now finished the first 1/4 of their season and they're averaging 8 points. We should feel good about this win. But we really can't make major takeaways from it. Let's see if our second game against a P5 team goes better than the first.

No, I'm this guy. (not really)

I went to Tech for law school, so every year around this time I'm talking that shit to all the other TTU attorneys. My mouth has been writing some massive checks already that I need Sark to cash for me; otherwise, next Monday's gonna be a long day.

Now let's go do this to Tech.

Lmao. And that's why they named the stadium after DKR.

This should tell you what to make of tonight's performance.
