Maybe the "Let's Dance With Lance" game against Xavier? I forget what the margin was, or how far back we had to come. But it says something that it was a basketball game, not football.

The close win was brought upon us by the pregame thread predicting a monstrous beat down. Glad the team survived the super jinx.

Wait... what's this?  Do tell.

Rumor on 247 that Yurichich didn't make the trip - in quarantine with Card.

Tom was calling plays, which is kinda believable given some of the shitty play calling, but we also didn't run Sam off tackle on 4th and short either, so don't know what to think.

That raucous 25% capacity Jones stadium crowd is intimidating no doubt. And good point on the COVID angle, no other team in the country has had to deal with it, only Texas.

I don’t have a problem calling the game what it was. A bad team played shitty against a good team that played extremely shitty. Texas came out on top in the end, which is what ultimately matters. Not super encouraging to see though. I truly thought Texas was going to cakewalk to an unbeaten season. I don’t know about that after today. 

You unwittingly self-diagnosed your problem.  Cakewalks to unbeaten seasons do not exist...ever...for anyone.

I covered that game. I think it was actually 35-7 at one point and the final might’ve been 59-35. I’m off to check online!

 

Yep.  I was at that game (Fall 2004).  Had season tickets in north end zone with a end seat literally across the stairs from the opposing fans section giving a unique perspective on the see-saw of emotions in that game.  UT did it again in the championship year the following year in Stillwater trailing 28-12 which included Vince juking a defender into the air with a fake pass before running for something like a 60-yard TD.

And the year was 2004.  Awesome game and not quite comparable to this one.

Still, the team showed some heart in coming back yesterday, so good win. The egregious mistakes make it a little harder to enjoy than it should be. I'm so use to ending up on the wrong side of these over the last 10 years that it is really difficult to stay positive during the game. I didn't have that problem in 2004 (despite our struggles against ou). As I recall, the stadium stayed pretty full at halftime despite the score. I think everyone just sensed a come back was going to happen. 

That game was basically the turning point for me. Shutout by OU several weeks before and trailing OkState 35-7. I was kind of laughing to myself in the DKR pressbox thinking this would finally be it for old Mack Brown and his Texas tenure. Personally, I'd thrown in the towel at that point -- if not a month earlier standing outside the Cotton Bowl drinking Shiner from a wax cup during a late afternoon thunderstorm. Damned if they didn't nearly light everybody's ass on fire for the next couple of seasons!

Vince Young and the Longhorns outscored Oklahoma State 118-0 in the second half of the games played between 2003 and 2005. I wonder if that's ever been done by anybody else in CFB history. (I covered the 2003 game in Stillwater too.)

I agree on the early comment, re: Herman’s 4th year. This was supposed to be an easy win. Look at our next 5 games. Not an easy win amongst them. I would feel much better had we not had three horrific ST plays, and the D still cannot generate a consistent pass rush.

Surly gonna surly. I don’t understand the arguing. Everyone should be happy that we got lucky and won a game we should have lost. And everyone should be concerned that this could be a sign of problems with our program and not just a typical struggling win, which every team experiences. Why can’t there be agreement?

[honolulu horn 6,165]

It's possible that after we obliterated a shitty UTEP JV team, and Tech struggled with HBU, that the team took the game for granted. We went up early on and lost focus. Agreed that is on coaching, but at least we won and all of our goals are still intact. This is what infuriates me about ou every year -- they get out of these types of games with a W while we stumble, and then we're looking up at them in the standings for the rest of the year. Well this time it's reversed, and if our coaches can get the team bought in again then I think we'll have a hell of a year.

There seems to be two sides to this camp. I’m in both. It was a great win in that it should have been a loss and wasn’t. To comeback like that, regardless of opponent, says something about this team.

But. It’s another Texas team that lacks discipline, can’t tackle and is constantly out of position on defense, gets completely outclassed by the opposing staff when it comes to halftime adjustments, and has an offense that turtles for large stretches of a game.

In other words, same as it ever was. Herman ain’t the dude.

Well we were also up 10 at halftime yesterday instead of down 16. They required unanswered points and a comeback at different times during the game. Both resulted in wins. 

[Hagbard Celine 10,938]

in year 4, muffing a punt running backwards to your own endzone is infuriating and thermensa should be fined $250,000 for every similar egregioius offense.  our university is paying him to have the team prepared.

Slightly off topic.

Has our punt return team done anything positive in the past couple of years?  I don't recall any great returns.  I do recall muffing a punt yesterday, muffing a punt by Jake Smith last year, and fair-catching about 40 punts last year inside our 5 yard-line.  F's sake, just let the damn thing roll at this point.

That's not totally mutually exclusive to his point, although he could have worded it better.

Sure, we've lost there just twice since 2000, but both those losses denied chances at a national title for Texas. They are 2 of the most impactful 10 (regular season*) losses for this program since 2000. Maybe THE 2 worst if you don't include OU games. 2008 is certainly #1 and it isn't close.

In 2006 they played a #5 ranked Texas team to within 4 points. In 2016 we needed an interception on the last drive to seal the game up 8 points. In 2018 we needed a phenomenal TD on our last drive to take the lead and win by one score.

Fucky shit happens in Lubbock. Even if 2008 was our only loss there in the last 20 years that would still be true.
