Texas played for a title in 09. TCU played for a title in 22. In football.

Baylor won a basketball title in that stretch, Tech played in the title game for basketball in that stretch.  

Baylor and aggy both claimed Heismans in that stretch.

Also - Texas baseball title in 05 - think TCU made the title series since then in baseball. aggy made the title series last season.

 

California top 3 sports are garbage right now and have been since '04. Texas has been better any way you slice it and easily and with less population.

Texas baseball was also in the CWS final in '09 and lost to LSU, and aggy was there last year.

Easy 7 for the Cats. 

[TOR 5,836]

Big turnover for mighty Texas State!  

It ain't much of a game, but it's the only game we got until UTEP kicks off.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,058]

That was a sick fucking catch. 

[AUS-97HORN 11,874]

dude was getting mugged, held, interfered with AND facemasked and still managed to get the ball and foot down.

 

watching live, I was like... that dude got mauled htf no flag refs?

[TOR 5,836]

I remember when 300+ lb linemen was a rarity in the NFL.

[texifornia 57,224]

Oh my God

 

[AUS-97HORN 11,874]

holy shit... thats guaranteed student drunkeness gold

[TOR 5,836]

NGL, drank a whole lot of Busch longnecks from HEB in the early 90s.  When they were out of Pearl hand grenades.

That's too much for natty light, although it is probably just bud light they are trying to move.

Bobcats turnover, unlucky break.  Did that bounce off the lineman's helmet?

[Funk Doctor Spock 12,794]

Shit, this is better than I figured it would be. God I love college football. Much better than the NFL

Tonight is day 1 of 55 days straight of at least one college football game.   Best time of the year.

That may be correct about football in general, but not college, at least not D1.

No, don't think it is all D1, there will be some real dogs in there.  Fine by me, I love MACtion nights.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,058]

Think you read it wrong, college ain't playing on Sundays & Mondays against the big boys. 

[AUS-97HORN 11,874]

kicker got mugged.... wudda been a first down even if they called running into a kicker.

[TOR 5,836]

OH that has to be roughing.  1st down mighty Bobcats!

Then they hit the punter in the ass with TWO flags.  

[shadow_operative2.0 16,058]

Oct. 3 is the first of 55 consecutive days with at least one top-level FBS college football game or an NFL game. 

 

And there's a long 7 for the Cats.

another great catch for td

[shadow_operative2.0 16,058]

TX St's WRs are ballin' out. 

[TOR 5,836]

Another nice catch.  DJ has the Cats doing good work.

[AUS-97HORN 11,874]

troy wr fumbles at the 1. 

 

 

and LOL at the Troy wr claiming he was down.... yeah sure man, you are still running while the ball is on the turf

[shadow_operative2.0 16,058]

Oops, that dude forgot something at the 1. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,058]

Sam Houston (-10, 49.5) at UTEP on CBSSN in 5. 

Kats 4-1, Miners 0-4 

[texifornia 57,224]

Every aerial intro to the Sun Bowl is fantastic. I need to get to El Paso / Big Bend

[kingkoopa6 8,466]

Beyoncé. Wow 

[texifornia 57,224]

Oh no UTEP is very bad

Big Bend is fantastic but it is not close to El Paso.

[TOR 5,836]

Bearkats strike early on the ground.

UTEP is indeed awful.

Where else would you fly into?

About the same distance as San Antonio.  Plus the drive would be nicer than from EP.

Fair. I think the idea would be to knock off Carlsbad Caverns too.

[TOR 5,836]

Wow that was a really dumb idea to return.  UTEP is also poorly corched, besides being bad at football.

[ztejas 43,741]

I think Midland is the closest practical airport but El Paso to BB is for sure a more appealing trip. 

I mean shit... you can fly into Austin and BB is just 2 hours further than El Paso. (Or SA like @TOR said)

I'd love to check out the Sun Bowl. My dad has a 1960s Sun Bowl watch (like from the bowl game) that I'm hoping is bequeathed to me.

Will definitely be attending a Sun Bowl soon, just because.  

NICE CATCH!

If you're doing Carlsbad EP makes sense.  Do a big triangle.

El Chuco tradition holla!

The ACC/PAC12 matchup could be disastrous football though.

[AUS-97HORN 11,874]

another Tx state Td...   qb ran untouched for like 45 yards

[TOR 5,836]

Stuffed!  The SHSU juggernaut has been stonewalled, turnover on downs for UTEP.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,058]

Ha, that trick play failed badly. 

[TOR 5,836]

Interception on the next play!  Terrible, terrible play design by UTEP.

At least it was a longish pass that mimicked a punt.

That's fair.  I was thinking classic Tampa Bay vs Browns.  The UTEP sherbet orange is dizzying.
