He could have like... prescribed you some Valium. 

If I die watching Texas football then so be it. 

 

Seems the V's are difficult to get anymore.  Either that or having A-Fib, chronic heart failure and high blood pressure is a disqualifier.

I guarantee you, if my health had been this bad in '05 I'd have never seen the end of the greatest football game ever played.  That being said, if I could have made it to the end, I'd have died a happy man.

I didn’t see it started. The fall camp is nothing but beer talk.  We’ve got our QB named.  We are healthy-ish.  We have substantial talent at every level on the defense.  We have a plus offensiv

Was there with you and feel the same.  It felt like we could ascend to Heaven on VY’s shoulders in a glorious burst of bright sparkling light!  At the moment I almost had one of those Red Fox moments!

It's because Diazepam (Valium) and other benzodiazepines [the worst being Xanax (Alprazolam)] shouldn't be prescribed to the masses like candy. They are highly addictive and make it more likely for the olds to get confused and fall. You're better off healthwise not taking those medications especially in the setting of other medical comorbidities such as atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, and hypertension. Aside from alcohol detoxification and catatonia in the setting of severe mental illness, there is no clinical benefit to these medications. The newer generation of physicians has been trained against prescribing them.

Benzodiazepines were once thought to be the "cure all" for anxiety, but they lead to  "rebound anxiety", tolerance (needing more for the same effect), and as mentioned before addiction. As benzodiazepines have a depressant effect on the brain, they can cause or worsen clinical depression. It's not a quick fix, but therapy is the long term solution for anxiety.

The only time I have ever been prescribed them was after my accident in 96. Took them for about 6 months and put them away, haven't had one since. Of course I didn't have all the other health problems back then that I do now, it's so much fun getting old.

Makes sense. The one piece of advice I found older people commonly impart on younger folk is to never get old. Admittedly, I didn't understand it back then.

Heck I get too excited watching the games on television (doctor said no more watching games, but fuck him)

I get more stressed out NOT watching, just dying to know what's happening. As I do every year this close to the first game, my adrenaline is through the roof, pacing the floor and grinding my teeth.

Is the band going to play The Eyes? 

Band members will be given a choice. They can either join the Longhorn Marching Band, go to football games, march on the field, and play The Eyes of Texas , OR  they can join the other (as yet unnamed) band that doesn't play The Eyes, doesn't go to football games, and will march around Clark Field. I imagine the unnamed band won't attract many students and it won't be long before it's dis-banded (pun intended).

SVP on ESPN just said he’d take ULL +9. Fuk that guy. He’s a Maryland grad who absolutely gloated when the turtles beat Tom Turtle. Twice. Would I have done the same thing if I was a Maryland grad? Yeah. But that doesn’t matter. Fuk SVP.

This is soft

Yeah, I saw that. Also, did anybody notice how Fox pointedly refused to even mention our game in their "Big Noon Kickoff" promo? They hyped PedoState-Wisky, then UCLA-LSU, pointedly not even mentioning our game, which is sandwiched right in the middle of their other two. I saw that spot at least twice. It appears to me that they're intent on fucking us for leaving the B-12 and going to the sec and ESPN. Looks to me like they're cutting off their nose to spite their face but I'm not anywhere near smart enough to run a network whose flagship programming includes shit like The Masked Singer, so what do I know?

I can't think of anything better than national talking heads saying we'll lose to or barely scrape by Louisiana. 

Consider that these are the same guys who ranked Texas #5 to start the 2010 season. They always look backward instead of forward. 

All of our games were maddening close under Tom Herman. If he were here, predicting a close game would make sense. Less talented teams beat us sometimes because they could stay close. All that is gone.

All gas no brakes is a genuine philosophy here. Can we deliver? I think we score more than we did last year. 

Louisiana? I only know that generally they're good, well-coached, and likely a little over-rated. Their games were also close last year other than stomping ISU. I'm sure they're up and confident. 

With the national talking heads doubting us based on the past (not entirely unreasonable), a 21-point victory over Louisiana will look better than it actually is. We'd rise dramatically in the rankings. They like seeing us up there.

I don't think Louisiana has the horses to go toe to toe the whole game with us. If we enter the fourth quarter with a two score lead, Sark isn't going to start running out the clock. He's going to keep his foot on the gas. 

Add to the equation that Sark wants both his QBs to get work. He will not continue the irritating Texas tradition of putting in the second string and running dives every play. 

I think we crush Louisiana. I think it will be good win over a pretty damn good team that can't match our depth.

We'll know more about the Longhorns after Fayatenam. 

Hook 'Em!

The only clowning going on is stoops at a rainbow party. (Hint: he takes every shade of lipstick.)

Is Bijan not playing because that would be the only way Texas loses.  I predict Bijan will have 150 on the ground and 100 thru the air.  It is known.

Of course everyone is picking against the Horns. We knew that was going to happen all summer. It’s an easy, lazy pick…good G5 team with lots of starters back against underachieving blue blood that most fans dislike. That’s literally the extent of the analysis that went into these “predictions.”

Full Ride on xm just dogging the program and laughing at us paying them 1.5 million to beat our ass he said.  Ended with was utep busy.  Need to curb stomp them this weekend and make a point.

I'm going to go ahead and say that whatever some dumbfuck on satellite radio said about the game has exactly nothing to do with the reasons we need to win the game.

Absolutely this.  Such an easy, lazy pick that gets a bunch of "oh yeah, of course" responses from the generally stupid football-watching public.

I'd love to see the Horns stomp them but they're a good team and it's Week1.  Winning will be enough for me.

Arkansas, on the other hand, desperately needs to be stomped.
