I felt good about a lot of our 5 losses going in.

Just keepin' it real.

I feel you. My optimism is probably stemmed from not having Orlando and Meh, so hopefully we'll get something new.

[NowThis 931]

so who is going to be the Texas DC and is he any good?

Now you hire Scalley.

What reason do we have to believe he'd succeed in the B12? 

[BradInATX 9208]

Utah is an interesting team...11-2 overall with very impressive stats (#3 defense) but they haven’t beaten a team with more than 7 wins

Well Utah, have I got some good news for you!

[runthebone 8380]

Loser didn't want to be there.

 

What is the average age of their OL?

[Scooter Monzingo 821]

I don’t know shit about either of them. But I think some of you are confusing Utah with BYU. Utah is a secular institution, or am I incorrect?

Yeah, it's a state school. Plenty of non-Mormons go there. But Mormon jokes are the usual way to make fun of Utahns.

we're gonna get destroyed.  Utah has a mobile QB.  he's gonna tear us apart.  and i'm sure they're pissed about the PAC 12 title game.

ugh.

bet businesses in SA are happy about a number of non-drinkers coming to town.

If we play as bad as you say... we’ll be drinking enough for two teams.

[dcar00 14993]

frankly, Utah's speed at the skill positions is concerning.   We are beyond pedestrian on defense.  we also get to hear about their TE from Katy who didn't get an offer from Texas, book it.

[zork 629]

 

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2651]

Will be curious to see what we come out with on defense.  I suspect we will see marked Improvments Due to the lack of constant blitzing alone. You know, the entire addition through subtraction thing. 
 

We have fucking talent. We have a few weeks to put them in a position to succeed.  Let’s do it

If we have Colin Johnson ... we have a shot.

if not, it’s going to be a long night.

 

[The Ace of Aces 5377]

Utah will put up 650+ yards of offense vs this Texas D. And I’m not sure Ehlinger and Co. can score 3 TDs against their D.

I swear that must be a secret joke among sports producers to get that line in.

I'm fine with CJ not playing in the Bowl game... he hardly showed up all season anyway.

Marked improvement on D...  lulz

You think in the next 3 weeks a D that knows how to do nothing well will be transformed into one that can defend probably the 2nd or 3rd best offense they will play this year. Hmm...

Delusional but positive so I guess there is that.

Do you even 80’s montage brah?!

[CurlyDumps 4663]

They are convincing and we should lose terribly

WTF Alamo Bowl graphics person?  That picture of Sam is *backwards*.  C'mon man.

[Ellellelle 355]

I work for Utah. One thing they got going for them is their fans aren't obnoxious. I was at UF for years and the fans are next level. It's actually hard to believe the Utes even have fans because no one ever talks about the team.

There are a lot of Mormons at the U but it's not BYU. People aren't at work praising the Lord or whatever it is Mormons do. Religion isn't really talked about other than someone mentioning their mission.

I'm not really looking forward to this but maybe that home field advantage will do something. When's the last time Texas played a pac12 school?

[Armybrat 41429]

I see more pussies here than at the Dina Shore Weekend in Palm Springs.

Don’t know about most of you fair weather fans, but I shall be in the Alamodome New Year’s Eve supporting the Longhorns no matter who is coaching them or not.

For whatever reason I feel good about this game. I think we win. Sam goes out and tears them a new asshole. 

If that happens, does Sam also say "We're Baaaaack!" at the trophy ceremony?  I'd really love to hear that again.

Too soon?

Well the shit coaches are gone, more or less. Just like when Gerg became our DC and we got much better overnight. Could happen. Won't. But it could. I mean who fucking knows with this team.

UCLA in the 2014 Jerry Neuheisel game?

I'm as down as anyone else is but the team I watched Friday night doesn't scare me.

I predict there will be car flags ubiquitously available and on display.

I can't take any more cringe like that. 

[Nivek 17420]

Not being "optimistic" but just like Georgia is gonna come in pissed about the SEC title game? We've seen that that isn't really a motivating factor, if anything they're probably bummed they went from possibly a win away to going to the playoff to playing a pretty meaningless bowl. 

I have an investment opportunity of a lifetime for you. It involves gold. We already have a Hollywood Squares celebrity investor onboard.

I think a good over is 600. I'd be reluctant to bet the under though. But I might. Decision decision.

Our offense will be it's usual cluster fuck of stupid so there we agree mostly.

Yeah there is no reason why Utah, with their great defense, cannot destroy Texas in this game.

This is why I think this is a good matchup for us. Tom Herman cannot get some cheap win over some other shitty 6-6 or 7-5 school here. He has to bring his A game, and his team has to show something they haven't shown in a long time in order to win. So we either see evidence he can right this ship or he shows he can't. Either way I think it is a good thing for our program.

Is this really what you want to give our players shit for? I think the way they have been playing has been a ton worse than wanting the 2019 Sugar Bowl to lead to bigger things.

[JFKFC 4978]

I won't watch this massacre.
