  1. Wyoming: 20 Texas: 35 RB account for 216 total yards. Predicting a bit of a hangover game. I hope I'm wrong. 🤘
  2. From my office in Houston. FIGHT!
  3. It's actually 28-2 against former assistants. (Link) That is an impressive 93.3 % winning percentage. Saban's time winning percentage at Alabama : 87.5% That isn't a super significant difference. He beats everyone.
  4. Texas: 23 Alabama: 17 Alabama with 341 yards of total offense. Also calling Ewers throwing 2 TD and being picked once.
  5. Texas - 42 Rice - 7 Ewers - 256 passing yards with 3 TD
  6. There isn't much game week chatter. Feeling down, Longhorn Nation? I get that, but Ewers will bounce back this week and we'll paint Manhattan Orange!
  7. I was right about the buzz, the sunburn and the win. Wasn't exactly warm and fuzzy, but I'll take it!
  8. Gonna be there. Gonna be loud. Gonna stroll out of the stadium with that warm, fuzzy, winning feeling. (plus a buzz and a sunburn)
  9. It's nice to see the Longhorn Nation doesn't have a monopoly on black pillers.
  10. They are usually pretty good at football. They have won as many Big 12 championships as everyone else combined. That being said, I really hope we beat the fucking shit out of them.
  11. Saturday was a complete gut punch for me. I was screaming and cursing at the TV. Turning it off. Turning it back on. I was forced to let go of the idea that maybe this year's team could be something special. Oh well. Maybe they'll win the championship when I'm 45 - another year to wait. I could literally feel it like an illness when I went to sleep that night. At times like that wonder, why do I do this to myself? Why does it hurt so much? Why do I expose myself to this pain? Then I think about being a UT Freshman in 1996. Watching the gutsy roll left call on 4th and inches, leading to a touchdown, icing a huge upset win over Nebraska and giving Texas the first championship of the Big 12's existence. I was HOOKED for life. I remember a cool, humid morning the day after Thanksgiving in 1998. Driving through winding Texas highways early in the morning to get to the stadium in time. Hearing the roar of the crowd as Ricky Williams busted out for a 60 yard touchdown run late in first quarter to break the NCAA rushing record against the Aggies. I remember January 4, 2006. Down by 5 with a little over 2 minutes to play. USC has the ball. 4th and 2. I scream at the TV "If we can just stop them we can win this son of a bitch!". LenDale White stuffed for a one yard gain. The rest is history as Vince Young led the Longhorn nation to the promised land. That is why these losses hurt. I love Texas Longhorn football. So I don't ask you to not be angry, upset, or even lose hope for a while. I just ask that you think about why you care so much. Hook 'em!
  12. Your post suggests a very small dick. No one wants.
  13. I think the fan base is still a bit traumatized. It's been a long tough period. Takes at least a full season of being good to fully get some swagger back.
