At least switch it to "We're UT". It will confuse the SEC.

All true. Maybe I'm just a fool but I think if I had the millions he already got, and a steady job as an OC (Texas will pay well for a winning OC) I would probably go that route rather than risk falling back into old habits and becoming a full-fledged alcoholic again. He also probably can't sue for the same thing again if Texas had even average lawyers draw up his contract. If he is honest about wanting to stay sober I think it would be way easier without the pressure he is likely to be under going forward. He is also more likely to see good results directly attributable to him as an OC, which should make him feel better about himself and keep him off the wagon. I don't know - maybe is has zero struggles with alcohol anymore, but I doubt it. From what I've heard alcoholics struggle for a long time to stay sober. In his case it probably depends on which desire is stronger - keep bringing in more money than he will likely ever use, or stay off the juice, have enough money to do whatever he wants, put kids in the NFL, and actually make a difference.

What if the BMDs start looking in the background to try again to money-whip a Saban or an Urban or someone close to the same level, just keep Sark while they try, and once they finally get one we fire Sark at that point? He's not going to get better. I mean - by the time the BMDs find someone that can actually coach, Sark could probably be fired for cause. Or Sark resigns to keep from falling back on the juice. No way he lasts long enough to turn the program around with the massive pressure he will be getting starting today (and especially after 2 more losses and no bowl game this year). Honestly if I were Sark I would make a deal with Texas that I would give up head coach if they made me OC, and I would take the pay cut (with bonus options depending on the offensive stats). That would please almost everyone, and keep Sark employed, not taking millions from UT, and likely stay sober without all the pressure. He does seem to be good on offense and could be really good if someone would rent an offensive line. Downside is - new head coach would have to agree.

I 'member that. Sad part is - it works for so many other games as well.

No. That's a gimmick. Take the helmets off the players. Open tryouts. Bring on a couple of walk-ons, start freshmen and whoever is on the scout team. Rest Bijan and Overshown (if they aren't already forced to rest after today). Hell - start some math majors - they will at least have better angles. Then either raid the portal or start looking for another coach. At this point 50-50 odds of this mess being the players or the coach are better than the win-loss record anyway. Flip a coin and act.

Odd stat - isn't Case McCoy the last Longhorn QB to beat both ATM and OU?

^ This. I still think this is the path. OU made the right decision (for them at least) to take out Spencer. Otherwise we win, and they have 4 turnovers not counting any ref crap. Right after our 1st TD I told my wife Rattler was good for 2-4 turnovers, and there would be 35 points in the 1st quarter alone. Had no idea 28 of them would be for us. Sad part is I also told her after Rattler was pulled for the freshman that if he came back in he would make even more mistakes trying too hard to keep his job. He did not take that benching well at all. Plus, we had the misfortune of having to face the freshman first. First *real* game action so no college film, and didn't play HS last year due to covid stuff so no real recent film on him at all. If we win out and face OU again we won't be facing an unknown.

What was with Saban not calling a time out when there were 14 seconds on the clock? Instead he let the clock run down to 2 secs - walk-off field goal. Had he called time out he would've either forced aggie to run another play (can't remember what down it was), or they kick the FG, then have to kickoff, and bama either has a chance at a return or they have 9-10 secs left and one timeout. Seemed like a huge error to me - at least coming from Saban.

Wait - wouldn't it be a whore-mobile-home?

I think the ultimate would be us beating OU, both teams win out, and face off again in the Big-12 Championship (hopefully our last year in the 12). We beat them twice and move on. Big-12 would go apeshit with UT/OU in the championship, and even more when we both leave this year.

... from the deck.

I'd be happy with 13-0. 3 safeties and a defensive fat man TD.

We did that once for K-State. Time for #2.

Has it occurred to anyone that All Gas No Brakes could also mean the engine gets flooded from all that gas, and we crash into a concrete barricade due to no brakes?

What dumbass thought anything with the number 13 would be a good idea in Vegas? I bet if they changed the price to $12 they would actually double their beer revenue. Hell - make the hot dogs $7 and people will buy 3 thinking they'll hit 7s in their casino hotel later.

I might have to bite the bullet and rewatch, but it seemed to me that Card counted to like 5 Mississippi before either getting sacked or throwing the ball. Could've been longer. That made me think he is in over his head and couldn't make a decision. I think he is accurate enough on the short throws (yards off on the long ones though) so even if he would do the 5 yard passes he would've been ok. Caveat - what is so hard about 3rd downs and throwing *past* the sticks or at least within a yard or 2? Granted I know there were things not seen on TV - like if anyone got open - but it still seemed like bad decisions. Also - what happened to using Bijan as a receiver? That seemed to work well on game 1.

Here's an example

Looked on TV like the stadium workers lowered them when people started rushing the field. Many places have the ones that allow you to fairly quickly bring them down so they don't get broken.

or Jordan Shipley

Isn't that Robert Plant?

Damn.

Good: Very much looking forward to Rice this year. Can't wait to see what they do to us this year... Better: Assuming Texas is going to be better this year and we are in the running for the BigXII championship, this could be the last year we have to play OU twice. Bad: This guy probably moves to the SEC network to broadcast our games. Funny: Lowell has 13 connections as a lead anchor for a network.

"Pegged" it.

or is it the sergeants major's times share?
