Man, it wasn't perfect.  We fucked up a lot of shit, but still overcame, didn't let it get to us, and got it done.

Can't say that about a lot of our bigger games the last 14 years or so.

Even that Georgia game, or OU last year, had kind of a flukey feel to them.  This was not a fluke.

[MrBig 5382]

Our team plays pretty good football when Bob Cole isn’t yelling into the stadium every fucking second.

We may have answered the EDGE question. Burke and Hill can get after the passer. 

Sorrell was getting the job done too.  The entire DL kicked Bama's ass for 60 minutes.

Burke was a monster - it sure felt like he got more than one sack.  He was giving that fat ass Tackle all he could handle.

Sweat keeps this up and he's getting drafted in the first round.  Just a dominant two weeks for that guy.

Murphy routinely stonewalled that OL in the running game.

Hill was exactly as promised.  Looked shot out of a cannon every time he pursued.

I brought home some of this stuff from Japan earlier this year.  Not nearly as expensive as some of the fine scotch I've seen posted here, but I've been saving it for...something.  Tonight's the night.  About crack this baby open and drink up to an incredible Longhorns victory.

Cheers to you all, no matter what you're drinking tonight!

Not to burst your bubble, more to inform, but you can get Jinro Soju for about $6 at Target. It is the sneakiest deal out there.

They doubled Worthy and tried to make Quinn go through his progressions. He did that really well a couple times which is huge growth from him. Our playcalling also adjusted and they couldn’t keep up.

Plain and simple though, Saban didn’t know what to do once it became clear they didn’t have the better athletes. Sark and this team imposed their will. 

5 sacks to 0 sacks 

105 yards rushing to their 107. Remember that first few runs for 7-9 yards they reeled off? I do. We  shut them down after that.

won by 10 and ran the ball to run out the clock with 7 mins left. They knew we were running the ball and we did. 

impose our will?

[TwiceHorn 31438]

So what was that shit on the fumblerooski thing?

Seems like it was either a fumble or a backward pass, as ruled, either of which could have been advanced, as far as I know.  They mumbled some shit about the fourth down.

My daughter sent this to me from campus tonight. 😁

Simmons has to love what PK is allowing a Freshman to do in his second game of the year against Alabama. We aint go not problem at edge.

Not a fumble. Can’t advance a fumble. Seemed more like a bad snap than a backwards pass - no one had possession of it

[Hank_Hill 18793]

Not to be one of the weepy drunk dudes that @Hank Scorpio mentioned earlier, but the events on Maui have made this one of the most trying months of my life as a healthcare provider/human being and this is my first day off since 08/08. Much needed dub. Lfggggg

Can we wear the stormtrooper unis for every game? So fucking icy

Some defining wins in the Icy Whites...

just a few in fairly recent memory..

Ricky @ Nebraska breaking their home winning streak

Vince in the '05 Rose Bowl against Michigan

Tonight @ Bama with a 10 point win 

'05 at night in theOSU 'shoe

and of course again at the  Grandaddy of them all, the '06 Rose Bowl against the GREATEST team EVER 😂 assembled, with 2 Heisman trophy winners , the University of Spoiled Children.

...the last was a pretty good day/nightcap to a certain Surly poster's 44th birthday 

[Atticus 3973]

Burrow did that cigar thing after winning the national title, but Ewers made himself some serious money tonight so enjoy yourself tonight. 

And do it again next week

[Acropora 856]

We went there and dominated them on the defensive line.  Made mistakes, didn't have breaks go our way and still won.  This isn't a perfect game underdog win.  This is the better team winning.  Now, gotta celebrate and then not stub our toe.  I don't know that we'll play a more talented defense this year

It was a fumbled snap where Ewers deliberately never had possession so he wouldn't have to be the one to advance it after a fumble since it was 4th down. Ewers looked like he held his wrist with the other hand to show that he never had possession. It was a fucking genius call!

We ran when we needed to but the first stat makes the second look better than it was. Sack yardage goes to rushing totals in college. 

[Hank Scorpio 17729]

We ran the ball 9 fucking times in a row to ice the game. What the fuck is happening.

Anyone know game replay info?

Bunch of pussies in here

Me when they took the final kneel

”Oh my God!!! Oh my God!!! Quinn! You did it!! You ended their home win streak! 

[Post Oak 20208]

 

[HuntinHorn 975]

He was doubled a lot that’s why others were wide open. You one on one worthy and he does very well tonight. 

Then there’s the if he catches the ball factor .

My point is … We spread the ball around and didn’t force to Worthy…. Win/profit. .

When Sark came over for the Eyes and looked up at us, that's the happiest I've seen him since he's been here. His face lit up. Bet he feels vindicated for the work he's out in.

[HuntinHorn 975]

Exactly….

I remember when Jalen Milroe decommitted from us and went to Bama. Looking back on it that was a good thing. That motherfucker is straight trash.

They doubled Worthy the entire 2nd half.

They had to, he was destroying their shit, and if Sanders finishes that block we put another 7 on the board. The difference this year, is that Mitchell is just as good as Worthy.

The long game Sarkisian played on that one should be a 30 for 30.

Don’t lose focus. It’s part of their strategy men

I had to record the game since I was coaching all day so I was about an hour behind.  Watched solo in my room until right before Bama took the lead; when my wife came in to lay on the bed. Bama scored, I looked at her and said " I love you, but you have to leave the room for a while" She is asleep upstairs...

The stats are true, Texas wins if the QB makes it past the first quarter vs Alabama.

if there is a heaven, I'm going to ask God for a do over of the 2009 Natty where Colt stays healthy.

Alabama lead at home for 69 seconds

[Grundy 27]

It’s been way too long since the Horns looked like they knew they were going to win. They didn’t flinch and countered quickly when Bama score. Let’s F’ing Go!

[Bama Llama 1450]

Marcel Dareus and Colt’s shoulder can funally be consigned to the dust heap of history. Is this a similar watershed? Time will tell. Sark sez, “Veni, vidi, vici, motherfuckers!”  My crimson ball cap’s off to you denizens of Surly. Peace out while I kick my wounds. Wallow in all the success, Horns. You have earned it and richly deserve it.

I’m wrong about so much in life it’s hard to keep up with.  But shit, I thought this guy was going to be a total JAG. What an idiot I am.

That’s awesome. I’ve been curious how he’s felt with his lack of touches, but awesome to see he’s still engaged and happy here.

Milroe will improve. He has the arm talent and runs like a mf.

And if he doesn’t, well, who fucking cares.

I kind of thought if Xavier had cut that outside of Sanders "block" he would have had a long gain.

Our OL was badass.

Fuck bama. 

Over the last ten years I was always infuriated with how piss poor our lines played.  I love watching teams with great line play and it looks like we finally got it back.  Texas football with great play at the LOS is always dangerous.  This year we can be dangerous.
