Piss off you tosser. I want to talk about that missed FG ... or that dropped pass by Worthy ... or the fact that McConaughey does the hook'em backwards.

Mack and Davis, perhaps.

... because I fucking love it. Walking down the strip on Saturday evening in Tuscaloosa, wearing burnt orange, any number of young, drunk jackasses dropped the "horns down" on me and my party. It felt so cliched, so unoriginal, and yet so freaking awesome. I guess Alabama has an elephant or some fucking mascot which makes no sense? I can't be arsed enough to give a shit to know or care why. But everybody knows the Texas goddamn Longhorns. So my response, invariably, was "bring it on." Barstool had set up some outdoor event before the game on the main drag, and was we walked by I could hear Dave Portnoy talking up the Alabama crowd. This fanbase was so classy, and so mature, and had seen it all that they were going to be the outlier, he said. They were above giving the horns down. But guess what? They weren't. I'm not sure how it looked on television, but everytime the stadium scoreboards showed a video feed of the crowd, it showed delightfully dimwitted students and kids and their parents throwing the horns down. Every time. Well guess what, motherfuckers. We love that shit. You hate us? We love that you hate us. We expect it. You're going to hate us even more when we show up next year and take our place among the league elite. Aggies hate Texas more than they love our school. That's really what the Horns down means. "Ok, you may be better than us, but at least I know how to contort my hand like this." As Sark said, embrace the hate. Because there's going to be more and more of it.

Yeah that 4th Q sack by Burke was excellent, just doing whatever he had to against a pretty good LT to get Milroe down. Super impressive for someone just beginning to tap his potential. It was just a win all the way around from identifying a talented player late in the process, to getting good weight on him, to development.

The man's name is Bug Mountain. Get it straight.

If Bama goes into BCS and whips that ass, it will be interesting to see what the narrative is then.

Wisner looked like a beast on special teams.

Corian Gipson, CB.

Texas 20 Alabama 10 JT Daniels will be the best QB we face in the first two weeks of the season.

Off the uprights!

Suggested Baylor message board for schadenfreude?

Let's go <checks notes> Red Wolves!

Not a Deion fan, not a Deion hater. What I am interested in is whether the hype is real, or bullshit.

Hornfans.com fan, confirmed.

Lol there are four concurrent livestreams now? Does 247 not have one?

Holgerson definitely won't want any more of us after we mudhole their asses.

Rice is even closer and has even better academics. Checkmate, fakas!

Bobby has been slobbering over this team since the start of the fall camp. It's gruntling, for sure. He's not wrong that they have more talent then Texas has had in more than a decade.

More like the Fall Camp Thread of Flatulence, amirite?

We're no longer doing nine hours a day?

That is going to be a pane to remember.

Elon'd.

This is the fanbase of the team that got worked by Jimbo's wonder bread kids, right?

If someone were to ask me, "Have you succeeded in angering irishtexan?" I would reply, "It's a fetaccompli."

The in-state premiere SEC West program didn't offer.
