2019 Alamo Bowl: Texas vs. #11 Utah - Pregame Discussion Thread

[Bullneck 18,983]

This will be the 2013 Holiday Bowl all over again.  

[texifornia 56,479]

I'm shocked that @BurntEyes is posting that he is pessimistic, dislikes the coaching staff, and is giving up his season tickets. It's a real change from all his other posts this year.

This feels like it'll be a repeat of the 2013 Alamo Bowl. A mobile senior QB who doesn't make mistakes, a defense that allows just 13 ppg, and a coaching staff far superior to ours.

Damn you.

I have lowered my LHF donation before and will undoubtedly do it again when Mensa fucks it up.

The bowl sounds shitty for us because it's in San Antonio.

Shut your whore mouh and post less.  Every Texan should spend a New Year's in fucking SA!  It's like no other.

Also, besides the Sun Bowl this bowl is a mecca for Vic.  I'd bet he has reservations a year ahead of time.

Yep, the Texas Bowl today is basically what the Alamo bowl was from the original Big 12 bowl affiliations. The Alamo bowl today is the Cotton Bowl from that time period. 

Sugar is the same tier as the Fiesta was prior to realignment 

Alamo is same tier as Cotton was prior to realignment 

Camping World is same tier as Holiday was prior to realignment 

Texas is same tier Alamo was prior to realignment 

Same as it ever was, only different:

We make our AlamoBowl reservations in March

[Bullneck 18,983]

What you should do is make dinner reservations in the Hemisphere Tower and that way you can look down into the stadium and watch the game for free.  You're welcome.

[Armybrat 40,710]

I’ll bet some clever aggy did just that when they played there a few years back.

Things have changed. 

Then why do they have a 5 loss team in it?

It was that or 4-loss I-State since OU went to a bowl not in the Big XII ladder. Lower order bowls always like picking Texas over smaller fanbases.

Iowa State has 5 losses. The only two available teams with fewer than 5 losses both had 4 losses and both lost to Texas.

So his question wasn't as smart as he thought it was.

That ties in perfectly with our new stadium theme!

[Sock Monkey 718]

Most of you are projecting your own senses of motivation and work ethic on the players. It's pretty damn rare for college athletes to not care. They wouldn't be where they are if it were that difficult to get fired up to compete. They may take some games a little less seriously than others, but they always want to be there. 

I'm guessing we are going to see the Texas that played against LSU, Oklahoma State, and OU more so than the Texas that we saw against Kansas, Iowa State, and TCU. The Last game of the season is always a big deal. Plus I'm expecting that we will soon start hearing some chatter from UU's players about how we don't scare them or whatever. Our guys hate that. I'm not going to guarantee a win, but it will be a good effort no matter what.

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

How about, “we’re almost backkkkkkk....” or
“Maybe we could be baaccckkkkk....”?

[Bevo&Pevo 5,025]

We'll be there.  We'll be at the Academy bowl also.  I'm glad the players get the chance to prove themselves. Maybe Tom will get food poisoning and not be able to make it.  Hopefully our recruits will think about sticking around.

Memes/jokes aside, this should be an easy W for Texas. Utah isn't very good at all. They haven't beaten a good team all year, and none of their players will care about playing in the Alamo Bowl. 

and orlando should have not rushed from siberia

and therm should have taken early points on 3rd down game after game after game.

So you think losing a bowl game in the national spot light is good for a team that isn't go to fire it's shitty head coach?

We will have to agree to disagree.

No, that was not what I said.

I said it was better for the program. Winning a bowl game over a shitty 6-6 team creates an illusion of progress that would not be there. This situation is preferable.

And we'll see if he can or will.

Pecking order is as follows:

New Years Six Bowls (Playoff, Sugar, possible at-large bids to Fiesta, Cotton, or Peach)

Alamo

Camping World

Texas Bowl

Liberty Bowl

Cheezit Bowl

rotating bid between Armed Forces Bowl and First Responder Bowl

Alamo is far from the lower tier it used to be prior to 2014.   It used to be like the Liberty bowl is now but now it’s like the Cotton or Holiday used to be.

i don't know how UU is going to travel, but there is talent there.  not asu or lsu.  if you are single,  on the chance that they travel, you want to be there.

[4th&Five 41,457]

I went to the Michigan game at Utah a few years ago (Harbaugh’s first game) and the Ute fans were awesome to hang and drink with. Probably some of the most generous fans with their booze that I’ve been around. Tailgates will be fun for those going.

Lot of California snow bunnies in their sororities, it's an attractive campus. Also Mormon girls are often really pretty, not that that's particularly helpful in this situation.

And damn man, you've criminally underrated #8.

#2 from left might almost be worth converting for

[closetojumping 62,141]

I spent the week of Thanksgiving in Park City. It snowed hard from Tuesday through Saturday and was a fucking winter wonderland. I’ve spent a ton of times working with Mormons in business deals and have probably visited SLC 30 times and stayed for pleasure in PC at least 5 times. It’s a great fucking area. The people are nice. There are hot chicks everywhere and I love the weather. It’s hard to find coffee though. Also, never trust a fucking Mormon by anything but the letter of the contract. They’re a damned mafia almost. 

Wait, where were we? ... Oh yeah, fuck, we’ve got to play these guys? Prepare thy anus, as we should assume they’re going in bone dry. 

[markstanco 12,501]

This is really bad. They are a sound football team. Truckload of two and three star players who actually have coaching.

You obviously haven't been on the BYU campus.  The hotest talent in the state is down in Provo and it's not even close.  Talent with brains. since it takes basically a 3.9 GPA to get in to the Y.  

[TrueUte 27]

Ute fan here coming in peace. Yes we drink, a lot. BYU fans like to “bash” us about our alcohol. Our online fans can be retards, but the fans who will be at the game should be chill. Sounds like the team is excited to play a blue-blood. We actually have quite a few Texas recruits on our team and Cam Rising who transferred from you guys, (Rising is obviously ineligible this year). It’s sounding like most of our seniors should play. We lost our first and second string safety in the championship game. We’ve got a solid team, over rated most of the year which you guys saw why Friday but we’re solid. We have a young o line which got blown up by Oregon. Our defense has 5-6 nfl dudes on it. Zack Moss our rb is a nfl back. He loves contact and is an animal. I didn’t watch Texas once this year other than a quarter of the LSU game. If you guys have a good DL/OL you will be able to keep the game close and probably win. If you let us dominate the line of scrimmage then be prepared for a long night. We love to control the time of possession until we wear defenses down then hit them with big plays. Hope it’s a good game.

Well coached teams kill Tom's teams.  This is potentially a very horrible match up for Tom.  I feel bad for Utah. A few days ago they went from potential playoff talk to playing 7-5 Texas in the Alamo Bowl. What a fall. 

He beat Bob Stoops and Lincoln Riley. He's beaten Patterson, Campbell, Gundy, Klieman, and the Wizard. He's beaten well coached teams before. I don't think he'll win here to due to match up reasons and due to coaching transitions, but this an overly reactionary and unjustifiable take that will likely devolve into a no true scotsman fallacy coming from you and a general sense of exasperation from me.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,799]

Is this the game where the native horn fans from San Antonio show up and make it a huge home field advantage for the Horns? Thus going 8-5 and giving Tommy boy momentun into the 2020 season?

Heheh... 

You know we only went 1-2 of the games you mentioned in that one gave up just shy of 500 yards and won by only 6 after a late TD by a team that went 8-4. 

In the two we lost we gave up more than 500 yard in each and damn near 600 vs LSU.

I guess okie state did finish ahead of in the conference so there is that... 

Otherwise, not stellar performance examples.

Yeah, I really wanted to put more wins as examples (maybe Tech minus the first quarter or WVU), but I think those games were our best efforts and would have been upsets. The KU game was pathetic.
